I bought a couple of Echo's and they are excellent little devices. However, I'm not seeing any delay at all. Probably half a second or less before I get a response. I do find that if its a command I haven't used before, it can take a few secs, but after that its basically instant. I suspect it is all hardware based as the HA VM is running on some beefy hardware.
An issue I have a lot is the voice breaking up as it talks back to you. Sounds like someone with bad mobile reception. It happens maybe 50% of the time. I figured things would get better as the system gets developed further.
So Echoes ? I think it's totally okay to just pluralize words like, well, words.
