Amazon Echo - Smart speaker with Alexa




Nice device. Like the sound quality. Like the way it understand our language. However sometimes, don't like the responses it gives when asked to play some songs. When there are multiple songs with similar lyrics it does play the one I want. It does not give options which one I actually intended to listen, just plays the search output it found. When I say 'Alexa Play Tera ghat by gajendra Verma' it plays someother songs from gajendra Verma playlist but not the song I wanted. Sometimes it plays a different song with lyric Tera ghata( old Hindi songs). Aurracry in song results is not that great (most of the times it gets it right). I really want Alexa to integrate with gaana, however it has only tie ups with saavan and Amazon music.


Like the religious skills integration. You can ask it to play from Bible, bhagwat geetha, Quran for as long as u want.

Like the news integrations with flash briefings options.

Booking cabs with ola Uber finding latest movies being played around u etc are also great. quiet often i use Alexa to tell me word meanings. Also like to play medication and healing music at times. Nice welcome addition to family for sure .






This is the perfect example of AI (Artificial Intelligence) will going to take up future of our lifestyle..entertainment...and many more..!!


Perfectly design and voice understanding is far better what we get in siri..!!




Only drawback is that its need to be plug in to play it does not have battery in built in it.😔






If you have kids in the house, they are gonna love it. My brother's kids went nuts and they developed a habit of waking up to Alexa every moring at 5. The elderly will use it too for the old songs.



And it is one of best sounding speakers for this price, so don't worry, just buy it. We bought the Prime subscription as well and most of the time it is playing some song in the background. The best thing is that it listens from very far away. Like 30-40 feet away and you don't have to shout at it. Best smart speaker. period.

Alexa, Stop playing music after 30 minutes.


I used this command daily when i go to sleep and i don't have to worry about turning the music off if i fell asleep.

User-3


Alexa, wake me up at 6.30am. or Alexa, remind me to buy pay electricity bill in the morning.

Since we don't keep phone at bedside to avoid radition sleeping, we keep it far away. And almost everyday i forget to set an alarm or keep a reminder for next morning. With Alexa it's a boon.




What i love the most?

It doesn't have a battery, so it doesn't have a fixed life. Its like a fan or a refrigerator, you buy it for long term, its not like buying a cell phone. and then buying them again and again and again.....

Even my 3 year old is able to operate it. He can't say 'Okay Google' but he can say 'Alexa' 'Aleccha' or 'Alesa'. Waysoever (if thats a word) he prenounce it, Alexa just gets lit up to play his favorite song/rhyme
