    Hello ,
    Nice video..
    I have been in serach of device specially Echo Show 8 , where I can write down few notes like shown below and then ask Alexa to read out for me by below voice command
    Alexa, what is CPO?
    Alexa, tell me about CPO?
    My Wrtitten Notes:
    What is CPO?
    Answer: The CPO is a newer position, created mainly because of the increasing demands on organizations to protect a long laundry list of different types of data. This role is responsible for ensuring that customer, company, and employee data is secure and kept secret, which keeps the company out of criminal and civil courts and hopefully out of the headlines.
    What is VPN?
    Answer: A virtual private network (VPN) provides confidentiality for data being exchanged between two endpoints. While the use of VPNs may not be sufficient in every case, it is the only answer among those provided that addresses the question. The use of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is not considered secure. IEEE 802.1x is an authentication protocol that does not protect data in transit. Finally, whole-disk encryption may be a good approach to protecting sensitive data, but only while it is at rest.
    What is Capcha?
    Answer: A CAPTCHA is a skewed representation of characteristics a person must enter to prove that the subject is a human and not an automated tool, as in a software robot. It is the graphical representation of data
    What is IPSec?
    Answer: IPSec is a protocol used to provide VPNs that use strong encryption and authentication functionality. It can work in two different modes: tunnel mode (payload and headers are protected) or transport mode (payload protection only). IPSec works at the network layer, not the data link layer
    I don't want Alexa, to read stuff from internet but from my written notes.
    Can Alexa, Echo Show 8, do this for me, I would be more happy ,if i could see my notes on display while alexa read it for me.
    I want to use Echo Show for study purpose.
    Please guide.
    Thanks
