Hmm... This is what I got: "Alexa, order me some green beans", Alexa: "Alexa is for prime members only so I've added sleeping pills to your basket". What the actual F?
I just recently got an Amazon echo dot, had to import it into Australia. Really enjoying it. I had to do the voice training a few times to get it to fully understand my Australian accent. Could one of the reasons they have rolled this out to give them training data on people with different accents? To improve the voice recognition when it goes worldwide?
Based on a project started out by @sammachin at a hackathon: http://sammachin.com/hacks-and-p...
There's no always listening mode. You have to click and hold the microphone button.
All services are not supported.
Ok, this is really weird. I don't even have a microphone hooked up to my computer but it appears she's hearing me, I asked math questions and I'm getting the correct answer.

@polygrafix Alexa hears your thoughts. Don't alarm her, just think about cats and casually close the browser window.

I asked it the time. It got it wrong. Precisely like the real thing does. #outsidetheusa.
It's 2016 Amazon, there is a world beyond domestic shores.
@rrhoover it's a community built tool for developers that simulates an Amazon Echo. It gives you the ability to interact with Alexa capabilities/skills without the need of the hardware device itself.
I think, it's a good way to attract non-users. Many home automation devices are still unapproachable by a lot of people. This project makes it possible to try out the features before you plan to buy one. It would be interesting when Google Home comes out with something like this.
@raaveyadav got it! I completely missed that. This could be turned into a compelling acquisition strategy if made more accessible and marketed the right way.
@guidoj@rrhoover I've seen comments bubble up based on the number of upvotes on a comment. But ya I agree, there should be an option where the person who hunted a product can pin a comment to the top.
@raaveyadav@guidoj working on changes to this page already to improve on this. :)

It's running slow but I assume that's because of the load on the server... it would be great as a web app or chrome plugin that can run in the background
