We spoke with Chris Maury (@CMaury) about using speech recognition to interact with devices.\\xa0

Note: Please turn off your Echo and Dots as we invoke Alexa\\xa0a lot.\\xa0

Chris is the founder of\\xa0Conversant Labs. They created\\xa0TinCan.ai\\xa0which can help you wireframe or prototype a conversational user interface. \\xa0They can also help you build Alexa Skills, though if you are so inclined, you might try it for yourself:\\xa0Alexa Skills Kit.\\xa0

Chris will be speaking at the\\xa0O\'Reilly Design Conference\\xa0in San Francisco, CA in March 2017, giving a\\xa0tutorial on building voice based user interfaces.\\xa0You can read more from Chris on his Medium posts\\xa0medium.com/@CMaury.

Some of the embedded devices Elecia mentioned:

• Audeme\\xa0(as heard on\\xa0The Amp Hour #258)
• Grove Speech Recognizer\\xa0from Seeed
• EasyVR\\xa0

We haven\'t gotten embedded.fm (or any podcast) to work with Alexa but we aren\'t sure why. Have you?
