Amazon Echo Speaker
[NetEase smart news April 30 news] According to CNET reports, Amazon will perform a complete revolution on the Echo smart speaker and give it a screen. The report said that Amazon will release a new generation of Echo named Knight next month. Earlier this week, it introduced Echo Look, a $200 "fashion assistant" smart camera. CNET's report also said that Amazon felt a sense of urgency last week, because Google said that its home smart speakers can now identify multiple users, and currently Echo does not have this feature. According to informed sources, Amazon’s equipment team may now be considering expediting the launch of these products so that they can continue to lead Google.
The new device can help Amazon improve and improve Echo's features in more areas including video chat and online shopping, which also makes the device a must-have for home life.
Earlier this year, Bloomberg reported that the new Echo's speakers will be equipped with a 7-inch touchscreen. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, “According to two informed sources, this new device will be equipped with a touchscreen of about 7 inches. This is the main difference between it and Amazon's current cylindrical Echo.†The current Echo is Rely on Amazon's voice assistant system Alexa control. A person familiar with the matter said that the latest Amazon speaker will be larger and tilt up. If you put it on the cabinet in this way, you can see the screen directly when the user stands. The internal structure of the speaker will also be adjusted, mainly with "high-end speakers" to improve its sound quality.
It is reported that Amazon's new device Knight will use the optimized version of Fire OS, this software is applied to Amazon's Fire Tablet PC and Fire TV set-top boxes, it can also use Alexa voice assistant. This smart speaker uses Alexa, Amazon’s personal voice assistant. The company recently launched a brand new white speaker in the UK, and it appeared with the original black model. Initially, the product was only available to Prime subscribers, but it began to be open to all U.S. users since June 2015. Earlier, due to concerns that Alexa did not understand the accent outside the United States, Amazon postponed its release in other countries. Since then, Alexa has been adjusted to suit British English and German.
Amazon Echo is facing increasing competition. In January of this year, research firm CIRP said that Echo’s estimated sales in the United States are about 8 million units. Although Amazon declined to disclose specific figures, data revealed in November 2016 showed that Echo’s sales were 5.1 million units.
David Limp, Amazon’s senior vice president of equipment management, expects Alexa’s voice assistant to be like a “Star Trek†computer: they can instantly answer user questions no matter where they are in the home. Alexa is a pioneer of smart network speakers. Alexa can respond to voice commands, such as setting an alarm, or simply providing a voice answer to a question. Consumers can also ask Alexa to place the product on Amazon's shopping list. The smart device then learns and understands the user's voice patterns, vocabulary, and preferences.
Echo has 7 hidden microphones to ensure it can receive voice commands from anywhere in the room. Because it is equipped with a WiFi connection with built-in Bluetooth capabilities, it can also be used as a 360-degree wireless speaker. This speaker allows users to perform hands-free voice control of Amazon Music, Spotify, and other streaming services. Echo also works with many other companies, such as Uber, to enable users to order taxis with voice commands. In order to be released in the UK, the partner company also includes Just Eat, National Rail and Sky Sports. Alexa can also be used to control smart home devices, including Hive, Nest and Hue. In order to protect the privacy of Echo users, pressing the mute button will cut off all microphones. Users can also remove voice searches from Alexa's app if they wish so.
The smaller Echo Dot speaker will be launched on October 20 and will cost $49.99 (59.99 Euros). This device allows users to place Alexa voice assistant in an extra room. For those who buy (6 or 12) speakers in bulk, there will be more discounts.
Mark Skilton, a professor at Warwick Business School, commented on the conference: "Although we have a long way to go to realize the "machine can think like a human being" stage, the mouse and keyboard really are going to end."
"It doesn't matter if the device has an Echo screen, because it's natural to use voice to interact with it. The problem is mainly focused on how to make it learn more skills to help users."
“At the moment, we have overcome the problem of poor device speech recognition and error proneness. Amazon has previously developed a set of high-precision microphones and a speech recognition system that can be integrated into its entire market ecosystem. This is better than Google’s. It was 12 months early."
