Key points of this article
  • Amazon's Alexa cloud voice service allows users to check news and weather forecasts and control home appliances.
  • It is very convenient to be able to record and get information from childcare apps while dealing with children you can't keep your hands off.
  • And since they can operate and communicate using only their voices, even little kids can have fun along with them!

The BabyTech community, which includes parents with children aged 0-6 and pre-parents and pre-moms who are expecting a baby and who want to actively use technology such as gadgets, apps, and appliances in their child-rearing, holds a monthly "Review with Everyone - BabyTech is More Fun" event. The event is held

This project aims to help community members share their experiences with various baby tech services with the goal of finding enjoyment in using baby tech in their child-rearing lives. Each time, members who have actually used one baby tech service will post a review of the service on a special site, and then share their thoughts and usage of the service in an online roundtable discussion. Afterwards, they will share their impressions and usage of the service in an online roundtable discussion, which will be published as a review article on BabyTech.jp.

In this seventh installment of the series, we review Alexa, Amazon's cloud voice service. By simply speaking into a smart speaker or other device, you can listen to weather forecasts and news, and control home appliances.

In this article, community members who have actually used Alexa reviewed its design, operability, and child-rearing utilization (numerical rating on a 5-point scale from lowest 1 to highest 5). In addition, Tetsuya Nagata, CEO of PapaSmile, and community members participated in an online roundtable discussion (hereinafter referred to as "cross review talk") to discuss the review results and the appeal of Alexa!

Design] The newer the model, the smaller the size, and the more it evolves into a design that fits in with the atmosphere of the home!

reviewer review score Comment.
Thanks a lot, Mr. Marriott. 5 I like the simplicity of the color and shape, and it doesn't interfere with the interior design. It is also a substitute for a clock.
Sachi. 5 It is round, round, and cute. It fits in with the interior even if it is left on the table.
Yoshie 4 Slightly too large (due to the early model purchased)

Nagata: Thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to join us today. I would like to begin our cross review talk right away. First, I would like to rate the "design" of the Amazon Echo series of Alexa-enabled smart speakers. Ogamari-san gave it a perfect score of 5. Is this the sphere-shaped Echo dot 4th generation?

Ogamari: Yes. I use a type that displays the clock digitally.

Nagata: Sachi-san also gave it a rating of 5. Since it is round and colossal, I guess it is the same Echo dot as Ogamari-san's.

Sachi: Yes, I do.

Nagata: Yoshie rated it 4 because it is "a little too big". ......

Yoshie: The one I have at home is an early model of the Amazon Echo series, which has a rather large cylindrical shape. It has a good design and does not look intrusive in terms of interior design, but it takes up a lot of space, so I gave it a score of 4.
