I. Wasn't aware of it. I gave it a try and found it very slow. On starting it, 
there is no indication of the kind of questions you can ask.

Apparently it's been out for a while, but I only just found it. I didn't have 
much luck though.

I was getting significant delays in excess of 10-15 seconds to response to most 
of the questions, even basic commands like "next" or "stop". 
Maybe it's just my setup or network, but while other skills respond quickly, 
this is what I was hearing - can anyone confirm?

It also can't seem to handle apostrophes so pronounces "you're, you'd and 
you've" as "you re you dee and you vey."

Would love to know what they paid for it 😉
