Alexa is an intelligent personal assistant developed by Amazon that is capable of voice interaction, music playback, making to-do lists, setting alarms, streaming podcasts and more. It can be activated using a wake word on devices like the Amazon Echo or by pushing a button in the Amazon app. Alexa allows users to control smart home devices and third parties can build skills that add new functions by hosting services that interact with Alexa through APIs.

AWS Community Day Copenhagen 19.02.2019. - Alexa skill development
Alexa is the speech and personal assistant technology that powers Amazon Echo. It can be used to listen music, check weather and traffic, answer questions, control household devices and much more. In this talk you’ll get a hands-on introduction to Amazon Alexa and its ecosystem, and you’ll learn how to build Alexa skill from scratch. You'll also get introduction to the SSML (Speech Synthesis Markup Language). Target audience for this talk are developers who would like to extend their knowledge in order to be able to develop and publish skills for Alexa.
This dataset consists of a nearly 3000 Amazon customer reviews (input text), and 5 variables which are star ratings, date of review, variant, verified reviews and feedback of various Amazon Alexa products like Alexa Echo, Echo dots, Alexa Firesticks etc.
SimpleK12 webinar - Increase Classroom Mobility & Control an IWB 020913Christopher Casal
As the iPad makes us more and more mobile, there are still a few school and classroom tasks that require sitting in front of a computer desktop. Imagine if you no longer had to sit at your desk, but could connect to and control your computer desktop - or your Interactive Whiteboard (IWB) - from anywhere in your classroom. In this webinar, you will learn how to do just that by using your iPad and Splashtop Remote. Chris Casal will show how you can use Splashtop to operate your computer desktop and perform annotations and other IWB tasks directly from your iPad. You will also discover what sets Splashtop apart from other Virtual Network Control (VNC) apps and ensures a more stable, reliable connection.

Discussing Alexa and Echo pair the Echo is the amplifier while Alexa is the discourse programming. They together work to perform different undertaking that we call as Alexa aptitudes.
Alexa, the voice service that powers Amazon Echo and Amazon Fire TV, provides a set of built-in abilities, or skills, that enable customers to interact with devices in a more intuitive way using voice. Application developers are also able to create custom applications and skills that can be published in the Alexa App Store for consumers to use. Some examples of these today include Uber, Spotify and Domino’s Pizza.This session will advise on why voice is a relevant additional user engagement model for businesses, what a good VUI (Voice User Interface) sounds like, and also demonstrate how simple it is to build custom Alexa applications by utilising the hosted Alexa Voice service and the AWS cloud.
AWS re:Invent 2016: Building a Smarter Home with Alexa(ALX303)Amazon Web Services
Natural user interfaces, such as those based on speech, enable customers to interact with their home in a more intuitive way. With the VUI (Voice User Interface) smart home, now customers don't need to use their hands or eyes to do things around the home — they only have to ask and it's at their command. This session will address the vision for the VUI smart home and how innovations with Amazon Alexa make it possible.

Hitting the submit button to publish your skill is similar to sending your child to their first day of school. You want it to be set up for a successful launch day and for many days thereafter. Learn how to set your skill up for success from Andy Huntwork, Alexa Principal Engineer and one of the creators of the popular Alexa skill "The Magic Door." You will learn the most common reasons why skills fail and also some of the more unique use cases. The purpose of this session is to help you build better skills by knowing what to look out for and what you can test for before submitting. In this session, you will learn what most developers do wrong, how to successfully test and QA your skill, how to set your skill up for successful certification, and the process of how a skill gets certified.
Talk performed on Code Europe Warsaw 2017.
Will 2017 be a year of Voice Assistants? Let's ask Alexa from Amazon to hear what she thinks about that! I will show you how to teach Alexa new skills using AWS Lambda and AWS AI Stack, but also useful Node.js toolset. PS: Alexa is a bit shy, so please don't make a noise during the presentation!

DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF SMART COOKING BASED ON AMAZON ECHOijscai
Smart cooking based on Amazon Echo uses the internet of things and cloud computing to assist in cooking
food. People may speak to Amazon Echo during the cooking in order to get the information and situation of
the cooking. Amazon Echo recognizes what people say, then transfers the information to the cloud services,
and speaks to people the results that cloud services make by querying the embedded cooking knowledge and
achieving the information of intelligent kitchen devices online. An intelligent food thermometer and its mobile
application are well-designed and implemented to monitor the temperature of cooking food.

2. What’s amazon alexa
Alexa is an intelligent personal assistant developed by
Amazon, made popular by the Amazon Echo and the Amazon
Echo Dot devices developed by Amazon Lab126. It is capable
of voice interaction, music playback, making to-do lists, setting
alarms, streaming podcasts, playing audiobooks, and providing
weather, traffic, and other real time information, such as news.
Alexa can also control several smart devices using itself as a
home automation system.[2]
Most devices with Alexa allow users to activate the device
using a wake-word (such as Echo); other devices (such as the
Amazon app on iOS or Android) require the user to push a
button to activate Alexa's listening mode. Currently, interaction
and communication with Alexa is only available in English and
German.
