Turn Kindle Scribe notes into tasks and calendar items
Use Alexa+ to summarize handwritten Scribe notes and draft to-dos, events, and reminders.
- What they did
- A Kindle Scribe or Scribe Colorsoft user can send a notebook or document to Alexa+ with the Send to Alexa option. Alexa+ then reads the notes, pulls out a summary, and can help shape them into task lists, calendar entries, and reminders. Amazon also says the same content shows up on Alexa.com, in the Alexa app, and on Echo devices and Fire TV.
- How it went
- The feature was scheduled to arrive over the next few days on the new Kindle Scribe and Scribe Colorsoft. No test results were reported, and the writeup only suggested it might reduce busywork.
- Tips
- It needs an Alexa+ subscription and one of the newer Kindle Scribe models. The source did not say how well it handles handwriting, so check the draft items carefully before relying on them.
Try it yourself with Alexa+
I have handwritten notes in [Kindle Scribe / Kindle Scribe Colorsoft / other source]. Please read them and give me: 1) a short summary, 2) a list of possible to-dos, 3) any calendar events with dates and times if they appear, and 4) any reminders. Before you create, send, or save anything, stop and show me the proposed items for approval.
