It's been a few years since I played with anything of the nature, but this seems interesting.

I've been tinkering with the idea of using AVS
<https://developer.amazon.com/alexa-voice-service> (Alexa Voice Service)
for 'over the air' voice command linking, but haven't figured out yet how
to disable responding to requests to play music, etc.

The DOT
<https://smile.amazon.com/All-New-Amazon ... B01DFKC2SO>
is inexpensive (group buys and special sales bring the price down from time
to time), but you can also use it with things like the Raspberry Pi
<https://github.com/alexa/alexa-avs-samp ... spberry-Pi>.

I think the IBM Watson platform is better fitted to experimenters from unconventional audio sources.
