It makes the Tell or Ask command very annoying, especially since it announces it on all Amazon devices that are connected. Any way to turn that off?

It will only ask you if you want to announce with "tell j talk to...".  Use "ask j talk to..." to avoid the announcement.

OK, ASK works as expected and the commands work with ASK J TALK.  I think the Announce function with Talk was the reason I could not get the commands to work with voice. Thanks.

When I OPEN J TALK my dot only has an orange ring for about 5 seconds after I end giving commands. I thought J Talk was still connected, but apparently as soon as the orange ring goes off, it stops J Talk.  That means I have to use Open J Talk for almost any command. That makes that whole interface less useful.  But, with ASK maybe I will not need it.  Using ASK for everything also means I can use other Alexa commands while the music is playing.

I think my capitilzation problems may have been related to time outs. The commands seem case insensitive how.

Interesting.  The session on my phone also stays open for only about 5 seconds but on my Echo Show it stays open for about 30 seconds.  It's too bad this is not a device setting for the user.

I've only seen about 5 seconds on an Echo and a Dot.
