<![CDATA[Different word options for Alexa/ Google on/off commands]]>I never was comfortable saying Alexa turn on for somethings same with saying turn off somethings. It just didn't seem natural for me. I played with voice recognition on Windows in programs I and others created in the 90s and knew alternate words could be programed and used for those.
Would Some of these also work with Alexa and Google?

A few years ago I experimented with using alternate words for "on" and "off" and found some that I felt more comfortable (natural) using then on or off for certain things
Words like:

  • activate
  • enable
  • run
  • start

always worked for Alexa and Google to turn things on.
Words like deactivate, disable worked for off

I don't remember all the alternatives but there were enough to satisfy me.
Anyone found any other alternatives?
