Alexa now has a skill that will allow certain Echo devices to identify products that you hold in your hand such as “a can of sweet peas” or “green beans.”  The skill, called Show and Tell, is only available on the Echo Show 10 inch.  Consumers need to be aware that there are other versions of the Echo Show, but the Show and Tell feature does not presently work on those models.  You will also need a little practice learning to hold products within the camera range in order to get adequate feedback from the device.
