    Yes, if it has a “wake word” how does it know when the word is being said if it’s off

      For Echo devices there’s a separate system that listens specifically for pre-programmed wake words only.

      It’s why you can’t choose a custom wake word, but have to pick between “Alexa, Amazon, Computer, or Echo.”
