- Designed around your voice:
Echo Dot connects to Alexa, a cloud-based voice service that is always getting smarter. Just ask and Alexa will provide information, play music, read the news, set alarms, control smart home devices, and more.
- Add voice control to your speakers: 
Connect to speakers over Bluetooth or with an audio cable, and directly stream music from Amazon Music, Pandora, Spotify, Tuneln, HeartRadio, and more.
- Far-field voice recognition:
With seven microphones, beam-forming technology, and noise cancellation, Echo Dot hears you from across the room and responds through the built-in speaker or a connected speaker.
- Voice control your smart home:
Ask Alexa to turn on your lights, control your thermostat, garage door or sprinklers, and more.
