Alexa Commands List

[bjaxlrose006]

Hey everyone!

I have had an Amazon Echo for almost a year now. But, it seems I still cannot remember certain basic commands for doing simple activities such as translations, Spotify music playback, Fire TV controls etc. So, I literally searched the entire web for a good few hours and came across this list of some 60 useful Alexa Commands for Amazon Echo and Echo Dot.

I personally think that list had a good number of commands that a lot of beginners (and not so technically proficient people like me) would benefit from without having to search endlessly on the Internet. I would love to hear your thoughts on this list. If you have a bigger list of commands, do let me know. Hope it helps.
