Get Amazon Alexa in your car with Speak Music’s Muse gadget

If you’ve got used to having an electronic voice assistant at home, leaving your house means leaving Amazon Echo or Google Home behind.

But not anymore – Speak Music has unveiled a new gadget, Muse, which brings Amazon’s Alexa into your car.

The small circular device connects to your smartphone via bluetooth, allowing you to use voice commands on the go.

Muse is powered by the cigarette lighter port, attaches to the dashboard on a magnetic mount, and can connect to in-car wi-fi.

Speak Music’s project has been funded on Indiegogo, where early adopters can can get a discounted pre-order.

“Unlike your phone's native assistant, Alexa does not ask you to unlock your phone. It has over 25,000 skills that work with just your voice,” the device description explains.

As with the full Echo device, Muse's Alexa allows users to request music, ask for information, and can sync up to your shopping lists and calendar. It also allows for hands-free phone calls.

While Spotify support won’t be available for Muse at launch, an update is already being planned to bring the streaming service to the gadget.

Muse is already in production, and it’s hitting America first – but it looks set to arrive in the UK in early 2018.
