Amazon’s new speaking system Echo, otherwise known as Alexa, has been said by critics to change the game when it comes to new modern technology. After all, Alexa is named after the ancient library of Alexandria for a reason.
Alexa, is the voice service that powers Echo and interacts with customers through the device by using a specific set of designed skills. With Echo’s far-field microphones, the speaker can instantly respond to voice commands from anywhere within earshot. With no button to press, simple say the words ‘Alexa,’ Echo,’ ‘Amazon,’ or ‘Computer’ and it will be ready to assist you. Alexa is able to play music as requested, answer general questions, set an alarm or timer, get local information or the latest news. This also includes controlling any smart home product from anywhere! The system is already built in the cloud, so it always gets smarter. For example, the more customers use Alexa, the more she quickly adapts to specific speech patterns, vocabulary and every personal preference.
Alexa Voice Service (AVS) has made a new way for technologic advances. It uses intelligent and scalable cloud service that adds voice-enabled experiences to any product that is connected, only needing a microphone and speaker. With this new skill, customers and users can interact with Alexa in a way that feels humanly natural.
The cool new features of Echo now allow developers to build a completely new voice experience by using the completely free AVS and ASK to build or better power your voice experience. It can also be used to reach far more customers than before by using Alexa-enable devices such as Amazon Fire TV and all other devices that can be powered by the Alexa Voice Service. With the use of these features, developers can continue to bring new technological advances to the system through games or even through apps that provide an easier way to do things, all while your phone stays in your pocket.
