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.
"With the new
range of Echo
devices, we are making it more natural and convenient for customers to
interact with Alexa," Gupta said.
