Reviews of the Amazon Echo praised the device for its solid voice recognition technology, so there are plenty of reasons for developers to use Amazon’s Alexa Voice Service in their products.

You can find out more details about the Alexa Voice Service over at Amazon at the link below.
“AVS enables your customers to speak to Alexa through the microphone on your device and Alexa will respond through the device’s speakers”.
As indicated by the Engadget, Alexa Voice Service developer preview is open for integration for each hobbyists and hardware producers into their very own related devices.
Amazon has launched a developer preview of the Alexa Voice Service (AVS).
To help get developers started, Amazon has provided a collection of self-service tools, documentation, application programming interfaces (APIs), and code samples. “By bringing StubHub’s great experience to Alexa, we’re able to reach more fans by allowing our customers to use their voice to engage with our content to do things like ask, ‘Alexa, ask StubHub what events are happening this weekend near me?’ or ‘Alexa, ask StubHub to send event suggestions to me for tomorrow, ‘” said Parag Vaish, head of mobile at StubHub, in a statement.
Amazon says developers can add AVS to their devices in “just a few hours”, and that no specific training on natural language processing is needed to get it working with their products.

Starting now you can buy an Amazon Echo from Staples. Staples also sells other Amazon hardware like the the Fire TV, the Fire TV stick, the Fire TV game controller, and several Kindle tablets on its website. Commands need to be relatively simple and clear-what was the score in the Red Sox game, for example-but the expectation is that opening up the AVS to third-party developers could see Alexa become an important part of the connected world.
