Amazon and Microsoft have announced that they will integrate Amazon's Alexa voice technology with Skype. The deal means that users will be able to accept incoming calls or make outgoing calls verbally, with the service expected to be made available September. The news followed last year's collaboration between the two companies, which enabled Alexa to communicate with Microsoft's digital assistant Cortana. The voice platform was also incorporated into the company's Xbox gaming consoles in this year.
