  • Amazon’s (NASDAQ:AMZN) now has voice recognition that can allow an Echo device to differentiate between members of a household.
  • Users can set up the functionality in an Echo device or within the Alexa app. Each person will have to read aloud a set of phrases to let the assistant build a voice profile.
  • A spokesperson tells The Verge voice recognition will work for calling and messaging, flash briefing, shopping, and the Amazon Music Unlimited Family Plan with more features to come.
  • Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Home had voice recognition capabilities in April, so Amazon’s announcement marks the latest move between the companies to meet or top each other’s voice assistant.
