Looks like the link is dead now, and due to stupidity, I didn't order one last night thinking I'd do it today. So I missed out on my own bargain bucket post!

Still fighting shy of the whole Alexa/Siri/Google thingy. I don't even use it on my phone and yes I'm aware it can listen to me anyway.

Quote: Snaps says... "I don't even use it on my phone" I sometimes use it in the car, but you have to manually trigger that. And for it to start listening at home you need to use the trigger words.
I mean, yeah your phone is technically always listening but it's not talking to Apple or Google until it is woken up.
Alexa and friends seem to be a little more active.
Anyway, I'll play with it for £9, and if someone manages to reverse engineer it enough to install their own bootloader I'll be doing that too!

I remembered today after setting this up, that I'd read people on Hackaday playing with it for voice controlling things... that's something I'd play with!
