AMAZON ALEXA
What is Amazon Alexa?
Amazon Alexa is a virtual assistant developed by Amazon
. Its far-field voice recognition hears users from across
the room and lets them control their connected with verbal commands. Alexa begins working as soon as it
detects the wake word (either “Alexa” or “Amazon”).
Why do I have to say “beam Home” instead of just “beam”?
The name (ie. skill invocation name) you use to let Alexa know you are talking about beam is “beam Home”.
Us
ing “beam” as the invocation name was not allowed per Amazon rules.
