It is an optional feature available through the Alexa app on a smartphone, under the Device Settings menu. When turned on, Alexa will let you take more time to complete your query before responding. Normal users can also take advantage of this ability in certain situations. The digital assistant will not suddenly interrupt you when you take a pause before completing your question.

Android users can also now type in their queries on the Alexa app

Digital assistants are voice-first experiences, but companies also let users type in their queries on the companion smartphone app. That’s another accessibility feature for people who are hard of speech or hard of hearing. It’s also useful in situations when you don’t want to speak out your query.
