anyone tried alexa in the shop yet
it might be useful for this

thinking more on this they will need to make one for high noise
and high dust environment

wondering if it can learn the background noise and still function

for example if you have the fan on or maybe music is playing or the
windows are open and there is traffic noise or wind noise

She listens to me even while the TV is playing right above the pod.

She listens to me when music is playing. If she didn't how could she raise the
volume, stop the music, pause to answer a question, etc.?

She listens to you whenever the NSA wants her to. ;-)

Sometimes she picks up ambient noises and responds. I was watching TV the other night
and the character, using a southern accent, said "Relax, son".

The pod mistook "Relax, son" for "Alexa" and looked up some information based on what
the character said next. I said ”Alexa, stop" and she shut up.

I can't remember the keywords but the local traffic reporter had Alexa
go off several times during the traffic report a few weeks ago. It
was pretty funny.
