Amazon launches Samuel L Jackson voice feature in Alexa in US

Amazon has launched Samuel L Jackson's voice feature in the new range of Alexa devices for its US customers. The Hollywood superstar's dulcet tones were added as an option as part of Alexa's Celebrity Voice Progam, which launched on December 12. Samuel's voice won't replace Alexa's altogether, it can be requested on-demand. To get things started you can summon Alexa and tell her: "Alexa, introduce me to Samuel L Jackson". One can then ask Alexa to know if the star has a favorite hobby, or what it was like making Star Wars, or how he got the part of Nick Fury. Daily commands such as 'Alexa, ask Samuel for the Weather', 'Alexa, ask Samuel to play some music' or 'Alexa, ask Samuel for the news' are also facilitated. Moreover, you can also make small talk with the star, and simply tell him 'hello' or ask him if he's having a nice day.
