They appear to be fantastic for those with limited vision.

Same thing with voice assistants like Alexa, for the average person having a live speaker listening 24 7 is kinda silly, but for someone who's legally blind it's a life changer.

Say at 90 you can't see well, you can say, "Hey Alexa, play some John Coltrane". It would be better for this all to run locally, but let's not let perfect be the enemy of good.

Amazon has many device variants, they can even be used to guide vision-impaired users indoors, e.g. navigating via a sequence of audio breadcrumb prompts across multiple devices.
