Interaction with ALEXA through Amazon Echo
Amazon Echo plays a significant role to communicate with Alexa, the virtual assistant.
After launching the Echo device, Alexa's voice assistant services (Amazon web application software) can
be used.
Nothing can stop the evolution of technologies as with various virtual assistants will give you a feeling of
interacting with humans itself. Alexa act as living creature in which you can talk and receive a response.
Like for an example, if you say hello, it will also greet you.
If you ask something you will hear an appropriate answer.
If you ask him the time or weather, it will be connected to the relevant sites and provide a report of the
weather in your area.
Even if you want to set the wake up timer and set it to sleep at the scheduled time. It directly thinks or
tells you stories and jokes, and thousands of other things that all exist within Alexa itself.
On top of these, Amazon has allowed software developers to provide their services with Alexa skill. End
user will be able to use any of these skills to choose from. Like for example, skills for cooking, once this
selected ALEXA will BE at you side onwards during cooking to guide you or add a newsletter that reads
important news headlines for you every day.
Same as with TIS Smart Home System, to use Alexa you have to add TIS under skills and that will be
tackled later on.
However Echo device normally do not respond to your talk (Does not interfere in your normal
conversations) unless you call Alexa's name to notice you and observe your command.
This invocation name often occurs with the word "Alexa”, but you can also set it up in other
configurable words such as echo, computer ... and ALEXA as a default name.
Here are some of Alexa's internal commands (which are not required for particular skills):
Ask your current time from Alexa (based on the location recorded on the Amazon account)
Alexa, what time is it ?
or
Alexa, what is the time?
Ask the current time of cities and other countries
Alexa, what is the time in New York?
Alexa, what's the time of Germany?
