Smart Speaker

A wireless speaker with an integrated voice assistant that responds to spoken commands, such as Amazon Echo (Alexa), Google Home (Google Assistant), or Apple HomePod (Siri). Smart speakers serve as central hubs for smart home control, allowing users to operate connected devices, access information, set reminders, and make calls hands-free. For people with mobility impairments or visual disabilities, smart speakers can be essential tools for independent living, though they present barriers for users with speech differences or hearing loss.
