Paper Abstract:
|
Smart speakers are becoming increasingly popular. The market leader for smart speakers are the products of the Echo
family from Amazon. There are currently 9 different models with different technical specifications available in Germany.
With this paper, the models was benchmarked against each other in terms of (i) speech recognition reliability, (ii) output
sound pressure and (iii) power consumption in a laboratory experiment. Previous works in this area has only considered
individual models of the product family. Significant differences in speech recognition accuracy, output sound pressure and
power consumption were identified between the models. In general it was observed, that the Echo Show 8 model was the
most efficient in terms of the above criteria. |
