Amazon Echo, also known as Alexa, is a voice command device from Amazon.com that is always listening.Its functions include question answering, playing music and controlling smart devices.mazon Echo runs on Amazon Web Services. In the default mode the device continuously listens to all speech, monitoring for the wake word to be spoken. The device also comes with a manually and voice-activated remote control which can be used in lieu of the 'wake word'.
The wake word is the only programmed item stored on the Alexa device. This is the only thing that the Echo has the actual power to decypher. All subsequent voice translation is done on Amazon's AWS cloud. As such, the vocalization of the wake word must be something that is coded on the Echo device and not on the cloud.
