years and by the end of 2017 there will be over 12M units will be sold.”
Amazon Alexa is a voice-enabled a device that works as per
the commands of the user. Alexa provides a set of inbuilt capabilities which
are known as Alexa skills. With the introduction of Alexa skills, industries

Amazon Alexa platform
focus on two specified areas of development:
Alexa voice search:
Amazon Alexa uses Alexa voice service (AVS) to integrating
Alexa voice enablement into devices, homes, cars and other physical objects
which work with a microphone.
Alexa skills kit:
Alexa Skills Development triggers specific actions which
lead to call for APIs and then respond as per that.
Due to its complete cloud based structure, Alexa is able to
enroll enhancements and updates and as a result, it continues to grow smarter.
Alexa can work wonders if skilled properly, it works on some predefined skill
sets that can be used to program Alexa to collaborate with any IoT device.
Alexa voice search
can work for two approaches:
1. Integrate Alexa into a voice enabled products and
services
If you are having an Alexa-enabled product like a smart
watch, sensor, thermostat then you can integrate Alexa with the embedded
product.
2. Launch new ideas
You can come up with some innovations by integrating Alexa
skills. This approach targets the start-ups to introduce some creative ideas.
Amazon Alexa team also supports new ideas.
How do Alexa skills
work?
The Amazon device connects to the internet via the Wi-Fi
network of your home. And it wakes up whenever you call “ALEXA”. Your voice
command will be followed and sent to a natural voice recognition service in the
Amazon Lambda server.
