- jeffbax 9y agoI thought Alexa recorded all the time, maintaining a buffer so that it seemed to respond faster once it caught you saying the magic words
- sib 9y agoThe device is maintaining a short (<1 sec) buffer at all times. The device is Echo; Alexa is the cloud-side service, which is definitely not getting the audio until the wake-word is spotted and then streaming begins (backing up to the beginning of the buffer).
