Amazon tests 'Brief Mode' feature to make Echo devices talk less

Alexa has been known to be a bit annoying at times -- laughing at random, ordering items without being told to and giving users more information than they wanted. Thankfully, Amazon has developed a solution that'll make its voice assistant talk a little less. Called'Brief Mode,' it allows users to replace some of Alexa's verbal confirmations with non-verbal signals, like beeps. Amazon has confirmed that it's rolling out a feature called'Brief Mode' to all users. Brief mode turns off some of Alexa's verbal confirmations and replaces them with beeps.
