I have an echo and this would really be an awesome feature!

"Alexa, who won the Championship Chairman's Award in 2012?"

"Simbotics from St. Catherines, Ontario, Canada"

I have been thinking about getting an echo... This might push me to buy one.

Original post updated with a list of features planned for first release. I'd still love to hear suggestions!

Nice.

OPR/DPR would be handy for scouting meetings!

This sounds way cool. It's too bad that I'd have almost zero use for one otherwise.

Nice! Wish Echo was available in Canada.

Video demo anyone?
