What is Echo Dot?
Echo Dot is a hands-free, voice-controlled device with a small
built-in speaker—it can also connect to your speakers or headphones
over Bluetooth or through a 3.5 mm audio cable to deliver stereo sound
to the speakers you choose. Dot connects to the Alexa Voice Service to
play music, provide information, news, sports scores, weather, and
more—instantly.
Echo Dot can hear you from across the room, even while music is
playing. When you want to use Echo Dot, just say the wake word "Alexa"
and Dot responds instantly. If you have more than one Echo or Echo
Dot, Alexa responds intelligently from the Echo you're closest to with
ESP (Echo Spatial Perception). ESP will be available via a free
over-the-air software update, coming soon.
Alexa, find me a Chinese restaurant
Made for any room.
Sleek and compact design makes Echo Dot a convenient addition to any
room in the house. With its built-in speaker, you can place Dot in the
bedroom and use it as a smart alarm clock that can also turn off your
lights. Or use Dot in the kitchen to easily set timers and shop tens
of millions of Amazon products using just your voice.
Echo Dot can also directly connect to speakers using a 3.5 mm stereo
cable or using Bluetooth to add voice control to your home stereo
system in the living room or den. Learn more about Bluetooth speakers
and devices that work well with Echo Dot.

Far-field voice recognition
Tucked under the light ring is an array of seven microphones that use
beam-forming technology and enhanced noise cancellation. With a more
powerful processor, the all-new Echo Dot has improved wake-word
performance to hear you ask a question from any direction—even in
noisy environments or while playing music.
When you want to use Echo Dot, simply say the wake word, "Alexa," and
Dot lights up and streams audio to the cloud, where the Alexa Voice
Service is leveraged to recognize and respond to your request
instantly. Learn more about voice recognition on Echo Dot.
Always getting smarter
Alexa—the brain behind Echo Dot—is built in the cloud, so it is always
getting smarter. The more you use Dot, the more it adapts to your
speech patterns, vocabulary, and personal preferences. And because
Echo Dot is always connected, updates are delivered automatically.
Just in the last few months we've added Amazon order tracking,
repeating alarms, and thousands of new skills from third-party
developers.
Alexa, where's my stuff? | Alexa, what are the hours for Safeway?
Echo Dot has skills
Skills add even more capabilities like ordering a pizza from Domino's,
requesting a ride from Uber, tracking your fitness with Fitbit,
ordering flowers from 1-800-Flowers, and more. Enabling skills lets
your Echo Dot do even more—simply discover skills you want to use in
the Alexa App. To enable a new skill, just ask Alexa.
New skills are being added all the time. You can also see ratings and
reviews to learn what other customers are saying about the thousands
of skills available in the Alexa App. Learn more about skills.
