HiIt plays only fm stations like Radio Mirchi, etc; besides all the stations 
world over through tune in radio. There is no provision for USB or recording 
but you can play kindle books in the echo plus, which cost me 10.5K as 
introductory price. For details about skills which can be configured, you may

Re: [AI] Google Home and Google Home Mini available in India

2018-04-13 Thread Prashant Ranjan Verma
Dear Pranav,
As you know, these devices are not something people must have. they are for
those who want to   try out new things and get that little extra
convenience.
some good uses are:

Keep telling these devices to add things to your to do or shopping list. You
can ask them to read out the lists anytime or else you can also check them
in your mobile when you are in the market.  Being able to do this totally
hands-free is certainly a convenience.

Set reminders or alarms just by talking.

Ask for weather, news or information. Tinkering with the touch screens for
everything is sometimes a pain and the process is not as quick.

Listen to music or radio in good quality. for example many blind people
would like to  ask Alexa to play BBC Hindi  from the bed in the morning. You
can leave it playing ambient sounds during the day such as instrumental
music, ocean sounds, flute etc. 

Do lots of fun things: you can ask Alexa to tell you jokes, stories, weird
things, play games etc.

Useful for entertaining and informing children: From nursery rhymes to
science and maths questions, it can  really amuse children.

Senior citizens may like to use it, there are no touch screens or buttons to
learn. the downside is that they are working only in English.

You can have high quality hands free calls between Alexa devices. For
example, if you buy Amazon echo you could ask Alexa to call me and we could
talk using these speakers. I can also take the call in my Alexa mobile app
when I am not at home. 

thanks,
Prashant

I have both Amazon Echo and Google Home. 
At this time, there are more Indian services on Amazon probably because it
has been in the market for some time already. 

As of today I would advise people to go for Amazon Echo. I think both of
them will be close competitors. 
Accessibility wise there is no challenge. The build quality and sound is
very good.

thanks,

Re: [AI] Google Home and Google Home Mini available in India

2018-04-11 Thread Kiran Kaja
Both are smart speakers which means they have the Assistant built in. So
you can talk to them and ask questions, ask it to do things like alarms,
reminders, timers, etc. Also plays music, radio stations, podcasts, etc.

The smart sound technology which adjusts the sound based on the acoustics
of the room is only available in the premium speaker Google Home Max. That
one isn't sold outside the US at the moment.

There are a bunch of reviews on the web. For accessibility, the Google Home
app is fully accessible. You need that to setup the device. You can also
turn on mic beeps from the device settings on the Google Home app. Other
than that, it is a pretty accessible device as it is all eyes-free
interface...

Hi Kiran
Perhaps you could give more insight on the features, accessibility, its power 
output etc. I am sure you would have used it extensively.
I understand, it automatically adjusts the audio settings depending the 
accostics of the room. It has Google assistant  etc.
Does it have a Line-in jack? What about radio and recording facility?

 Someone told me that the Caravan music player which has thousands of old Hindi 
songs is backed by Google. I don't know of its authenticity.

Maybe you can throw light on it too.
Harish.

Dear Kiran,
I believe you have relocated to the US. Where are you based? Will be
visiting the US on a speaking tour from April 14-23, 2018. Will be nice to
connect.

Best,

George
