Details of the forthcoming Alexa (and G Home?) controls are scant. What I've seen suggests a fairly restricted set of commands, eg. select a player, play a Tunein station, volume control, mute, etc. I imagine a system with voice control for radio, and limited music playback, would be a boon for visually-impaired users. Details on Google Home are also few and far between, but it seems likely it will be based on the existing chromecast tech.. Alexa Echo/Dot only offers bluetooth functions.
