“While listeners have long enjoyed Audible on Alexa-enabled devices, this development will allow voice control right in our app, enabling a much more hands-free experience. Runners absorbed in a book can repeat a section without breaking stride, cooks can leave their hands messy while pausing their listen to ask Alexa about their next ingredient, and commuters can have Alexa find them something entertaining while on the go,” Audible in a blog post.
Here’s how Audible will work with Alexa
iOS users listening to Audible will have to open the app to tune into Alexa. As mentioned above, this will let users pause listening to the book in between to ask questions, set timers, and browse the app without having to touch their iPhone or iPad.
The feature has been rolled out for iOS users based in the US which may further expand in other parts of the globe.
