How good is VoxCommander as compared to Amazon Echo?
I am the creator of VoxCommando so I can't really answer this objectively, and anyway I have never used an echo, but based on what my users have described the echo wins in two obvious ways. 1 - The microphone is very good for speech recognition and does a good job of filtering out undesirable sound and homes in on your voice when you speak. 2- It's easy to set up, at least if you want to use it the way Amazon intended.
On the other hand VoxCommando should be able to offer vastly superior options in terms of flexibility and it's designed to be customized by users, so in that sense, it may be easier to set up if you want to do anything interesting. It works with a lot of multimedia programs and home automation stuff etc.

You can try it for free and decide for yourself if you like it. It can do many many things, so there is a learning curve but most people find it fun to use once they get over the initial hump (I think).
Also of note, VC does not require an internet connection and does not upload your audio and other data to "big brother" the way the Echo does. For this reason it is probably also much faster.
