Amazon is hiring - they are seeking a linguist with an Australian background. This will involve research for their voice recognition device, the Amazon Echo. Some software fails to recognize accents - Australians do not pronounce the "r" sound - their English also has a lot of diphones - multiple vowels. My own Philadelphia speech pattern was once criticized as "you slur your dipthongs." So, Alexa, what is the capital of Australia?
