Amazon Alexa has been available on a few Windows 10 laptops, but starting today, anyone with a Windows 10 PC can download the Alexa app from the Microsoft Store.
Amazon Alexa已在 几台Windows 10笔记本电脑上使用 ,但从今天开始,任何装有Windows 10 PC的人都可以 从Microsoft Store 下载 Alexa应用程序 。
Alexa on your desktop or laptop works much the same way it does on your Echo smart speakers: you ask Alexa what the weather is, tell it to control your smart lights, and play some music from Amazon Music — if you subscribe to that. If your laptop or desk has support for waking up for Cortana commands, you can also use Alexa to wake your PC up for commands.
台式机或笔记本电脑上的Alexa的工作方式与Echo智能扬声器上的工作方式几乎相同:您询问Alexa的天气,告诉它控制您的智能灯,然后播放Amazon Music中的一些音乐(如果您订阅了该音乐)。 如果您的笔记本电脑或台式机支持唤醒Cortana命令,则 还可以使用Alexa唤醒PC来执行命令 。
Speaking of Cortana, Amazon and Microsoft collaborated on integrating the two smart assistants. Users could (and still can) launch Cortana, then ask Cortana to give Alexa a command. That’s not going away, but with Alexa available as an app that anyone could download on any laptop or desktop, it’s hard to imagine that feature will be used much going forward. The same integration let Alexa users ask to give Cortana a command, but it’s hard to imagine anyone actually doing that.
谈到Cortana,亚马逊和微软 合作整合了两个智能助手 。 用户可以(并且仍然可以)启动Cortana,然后要求Cortana向Alexa发送命令。 这并没有消失,但是随着Alexa作为一款可以供任何人在任何笔记本电脑或台式机上下载的应用程序提供,很难想象该功能会被广泛使用。 通过相同的集成,Alexa用户可以要求给Cortana一个命令,但是很难想象会有人真正这样做。
Amazon notes that the experience of using Alexa on a PC isn’t too different compared to using it on other platforms, but it’s planning to add PC-specific capabilities to the voice assistant in early 2019. It’s anyone’s guess as to what those are, but we should find out soon enough.
亚马逊指出,与在其他平台上使用Alexa相比,在PC上使用Alexa的体验并没有太大不同,但它 计划 在2019年初 将特定 于 PC的功能添加 到语音助手中。这是任何人的猜测,但是我们应该尽快找到答案。
