I use this. Yes, latency is kind of big, but it's tolerable. The big difference for me is that you have to program every command. I've never used the Echo, but my understanding is that it has a ton of pre-built commands that you can use: set a timer, what is the weather, play somesong, etc.

For jasper (pocketsphinx) you have to manually program the action for all of these. So it's a lot more setup. I still like it and use it all the time though.

How do you find yourself using it?

I do a few things: control music (pause/play, volume up/down, etc), change my lights (dim, bright, color), read off the weather, ask what time it is.

I've got a few other ideas: control my roku, add milk to the grocery list, read emails, etc.

Nothing life-changing, but fun stuff that makes small parts of my day easier.
