Amazon launches new version of Echo devices in India starting at Rs 4,499
US technology firm Amazon on Thursday
announced a new version of artificial intelligence based Echo speakers
in the price range of Rs 4,499 to Rs 9,999 a unit.
The company at a global virtual event claimed
to have reduced voice response of Alexa devices by hundreds of milliseconds
using new electronic chips.
"Our team really worked very hard to
shave off 100s of milliseconds from Alexa response time. They invented a new
AZ1 neural edge processor. It is a new silicon module that has been purpose
built to run machine learning algorithms on the edge," Amazon Devices head
for India Parag Gupta said.
"We also built new neural speech
recognition models that run on Az1. Together they make speech responses faster
on Echo Dot," he said.
The company started pre-booking Echo Dot
priced at Rs 4,499, Echo DoT with clock for Rs 5,499 and Echo with 9,999 which
will be shipped to customers later this year. Read More
