Alexa Voice Profiles

[StevenR]

It appears that Amazon is rolling out support for voice profiles in Alexa so that it can recognise who is speaking and give different responses as appropriate:

The help video that article links to only exists on the US site, so I don't know if it is rolling out worldwide but I hope it does because this could be very useful.

Edit: Apparently Amazon support have confirmed that this is a US only feature and haven't got a date when it will be rolled out to other countries.

Why do the UK customer base always get second best?  Surely this is something that could eb rolled out worldwide, not just in the USA?

it is a usa company  :-)  seriously, look at it this way, by the time UK gets it, most bugs are worked out of it.  samsung does the same thing, most devices are released in S.Korea first then the US, though we still got exploding washing machines from them.
