Amazon.com Help: Set Up Your Dash Button Device
...
The Dash Button isn't the only way that Amazon is looking to make life easier (and thus make you more dependent on them, of course). The latest innovation the company is offering is a new Dash device that can scan barcodes. To order something with this, just scan the barcode, hit the button and Amazon will search their product list, find it and ship it out to you. You can also order a product without the barcode by hitting the microphone button and speaking the name: Amazon's Alexa voice recognition system will try and recognize the name and add it to your shopping cart."
