“Today, over 40 devices with Alexa built-in are available to Indian customers, from multiple brands like Sony, LG, Bose, iBall, Panasonic and boat,” Dilip R.S., Country Manager for Alexa Skills and Voice Services, Amazon India said in a statement.
Amazon announced last month that with the fresh Hindi speech model available in Alexa Skills Kit (ASK), developers can now begin building Alexa skills for clients in India.
The Alexa Skills Kit (ASK) is a set of free, self-service APIs and instruments to generate abilities or capabilities for Alexa quickly and easily for developers.
Besides Hindi, consumers in Tamil, Marathi, Kannada, Bengali, Telugu, Gujarati and other regional languages can react to Alexa’s English claims. Alexa is presently accessible in more than 80 nations and speaks more than 14 different languages.
Rohit Prasad, Vice President and Head Scientist for Alexa, told IANS recently that the company is working on infusing regional languages capabilities in Alexa for the Indian market but these are early days.
Right now, some Hinglish commands can be understood by Alexa but these are few and far between. Amazon also announced on September 18-19 in New Delhi “Alexa VOXCON,” India’s first conference dedicated to all things voice.
