AMAZON ECHO


How much do you actually talk to your phone? If you’re like me, it’s probably almost never. The whole process is pretty painful: You hold down a button, speak carefully into the microphone, wait, and then either try again when it fails to understand you, or give up when it answers with an irrelevant quip. Voice assistants have been on our phones for years, but they haven’t really taken off. They’re unreliable, and often not that much quicker than typing. It’s a long way from the future that Star Trek promised us. Sorry Siri. But the Amazon Echo is different. A cylindrical speaker roughly the size of a wine bottle, it is not only the first gadget I have felt comfortable controlling with my voice, it is quite possibly the most promising new device since the iPhone. What is it? At its heart, the Echo is a wireless speaker. But while you can stream music, radio and so on to it, what really matters is the brain that runs it. Wake the Echo up, by saying “Alexa” (the name of Amazon’s virtual assistant, which you can change to “Echo” or “Amazon” for those averse to anthropomorphic gadgets), and a blue ring at the top of the speaker will light up, ready for a command.
