Samuel L. Jackson Can Be the Voice of Your Alexa

Amazon's Alexa is getting a facelift. If  you are a big Alexa fan and would like an edgier version, you can now get a much deeper voice who might occasionally drop a few curse words during the day. Later this year you'll have the chance to add the voice of Samuel L. Jackson. You can also decide if you want the clean or explicit version of his voice. Amazon is using new technology to give Alexa smoother, more natural-sounding speech patterns so hopefully, this will sound like Sam Jackson, not a Sam Jackson robot. It's coming out sometime this year and will go for 99 cents or $4.99 if you buy it after 2019. Amazon says more celebrities are coming in 2020, but there's no word who yet. Amazon is also rolling out a "frustration detection" feature that'll determine when you're getting frustrated with Alexa screwing up your requests, and try to apologize.
