New Delhi, May 24 (IANS): Technology has come of age when it comes to delivering entertainment within the confines of your home, especially in the pandemic times when people are glued to their screens most of the times as OTT platforms come to their rescue in the absence of outdoor, live experiences.

For such people, Amazon has brought an all-new Fire TV Cube, the hands-free, Alexa-enabled Fire TV experience, to India.

Available for Rs 12,999, the streaming media player features far-field voice control built into the device.

The Cube features cutting edge far-field voice recognition with eight microphones and advanced beam-forming technology. It combines signals from the individual microphones to suppress noise, reverberation, content currently playing, and even competing speech to make sure Alexa clearly hears your request when placed next to your TV.

When combined with the powerful new processor, you can easily search and navigate content using just your voice, whether it's through your cable or set-top boxes, streaming apps like Prime Video, YouTube, Netflix, Disney+ Hotstar, Zee5, SonyLiv and more.

From across the room, just say, "Alexa, switch on the TV" or "Alexa, watch Underground Railroad' or the latest sensation ‘Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar'.
