In December last year, Amazon added Samuel L. Jackson’s voice as a skill<\/a> for its Alexa voice assistant. The retail giant is now making it easier for users to access the actor’s voice by introducing a custom wake word<\/a>. You can now have Jackson reply to your questions by simply saying, “Hey, Samuel.”<\/p>\n The new custom wake word works on most Echo devices, except the first-gen Echo, Echo Dot<\/a>, and Echo Look. If you have one of the first-gen Echo devices, you can invoke Jackson’s voice by using “Alexa, ask Samuel” instead.<\/p>\n Aside from the new custom wake word, Amazon has also updated the Samuel L. Jackson voice skill with over 30,000 new phrases (via Variety<\/em><\/a>). And on popular demand, that includes five times more explicit content than before. Amazon says almost 75 percent of all people who bought the skill had the explicit mode turned on. However, Samuel still cannot help you with reminders, lists, Shopping, or Skills.<\/p>\n Even though Amazon had said last year that the price of the skill would eventually increase to $5, it is still available<\/a> for the introductory $1 price.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n $50 at Amazon<\/a> The Echo Dot has nearly all the features that Amazon’s more expensive Echo smart speakers offer, but at a much lower price point. It is also extremely compact, which means it can easily fit into the smallest of spaces.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n You can also switch between “Alexa” and “Hey, Samuel” wake words interchangeably without changing any settings.<\/p>\n What you need to know<\/p>\n Amazon has made it easier for you to access the Samuel L.
