Customization
Fire tablets support Switch Access
Switch Access for Fire tablets offers compatibility with Bluetooth devices as “switches” to interact with your Fire tablet (Fire -OS 6 and higher) with the touch of a button, blink of an eye, or puff on a sip-and-puff.
Interact with Alexa by touch
Tap to Alexa lets you interact with Alexa on Fire tablets and Echo Show devices by using the touchscreen. You can tap on-screen tiles to make requests like asking for the weather, create custom tiles, and even use Speech to Text to type phrases that are spoken aloud.
Start your smart home
From lights and plugs to thermostats and cameras, Alexa can help make your home smarter and more automated by simplifying your everyday routines.
Use Alexa Routines to make your days easier
You can set up Alexa Routines to do things like turn on the lights, read the news, and announce any appointments on the calendar for the day. And your Alexa-connected devices can work in unison. For instance, an Amazon air quality monitor can start a routine that closes the blinds and turns on the air filter.
Control your Fire tablet using your voice
You can now control your Fire HD 10 tablet (2023 release) by just using your voice. Voice Access uses speech recognition to perform actions on the device like “Go Back,” “Scroll Down,” and “Go Home.” Available in English only at this time.
Eye Gaze on Alexa
Our first foray in supporting customers with mobility or speech disabilities to use Alexa with their eyes. Instead of using voice or touch, Eye Gaze on Alexa allows customers to gaze at their tablet to perform preset Alexa actions, like playing music and shows, controlling their home environment, and communicating with loved ones—entirely hands and voice-free.
Connecting
Connect with family and friends
With Drop In, you can use your voice to open an instant conversation with friends and family with supported Alexa-compatible devices.
Make calls with Alexa
Connect your mobile phone to Alexa for assistance making and receiving calls. When making a phone call using Alexa, you can ask Alexa to navigate touch-tone menus on telephone trees for you.
Shopping
Shop with your voice
Use Alexa to browse top-rated products and order everyday items like groceries on Echo devices, the Alexa app, and the Amazon App.

Alexa can help you build your shopping list, share it with friends and family, and track your orders all the way to your doorstep.
