AMAZON ECHO - Voice Personal Assistant

[aleshippuden]

"ALWAYS READY, CONNECTED AND FAST. JUST ASK."

 

"WHAT IS AMAZON ECHO?

Amazon Echo is designed around your voice. It's always on—just ask for information, music, news, weather, and more. Echo begins working as soon as it hears you say the wake word, "Alexa." It's also an expertly-tuned speaker that can fill any room with immersive sound."

I don't get why you'd need it apart from convenience factor, just use Siri/Cortana/S voice

[aleshippuden]

it is supposed to be used in your home for your family, and you actually cant say "Siri", "S Voice" or "Cortana" to activate it, you need to press a button. Unlike Google Now.

I don't know how I feel with this thing always listening.

I can see how this could be potentially helpful, i just don't think it will be that useful in day to day life. I also think it's going to have trouble recognizing words.

true, but they'll probably put some effort on security for this, the NSA topic is more than know among everyone, so we guys are not going to be the first people on talk about the security topic LOL

Is there an Echo in the forums? 'Cause I heard this already. :lol:

Yeah, I was just making a joke but it is a legitimate concern. When I was still using an xbox, i bought the kinect for the 360. I read the manual, the camera and microphone can turn on AT ANY TIME, and they have the right to pull footage from it. As long as it's plugged into the 360 it gets power. I kept a piece of paper in front when i wasn't using it.

Dear god I am so sick of voice activated crap. The first person I see walking about going "OK google...." is getting their phone shoved into their face.
