I am creating a skill that needs to work in a mix mode environment: One that takes advantage of Alexa's natural language engine (slots/intents) and one that allows me to handle raw user input as text. Could it be possible to integrate "Amazon Transcribe" with Alexa to achieve this? I have implemented a work around using dynamic entities but the processing time makes the transaction too slow and impractical as an app.

I would like to see more CSS transforms for animation commands such as transform: rotateY() or rotateX on 2D objects.

I need access to the user response audio clip in order to map intonations, pitch, speed, etc. Please prioritize enriching the ASK SDK with a method to retrieve the audio response clip and ability to save the audio clip to a json, mp3, or wav file for processing.

Capability to Set timer and Get timer on Non cooking appliances should be added.

Like to set timer on Laundry appliances or dish appliances and get time remaining on those appliances.

add currency slot type

The only way to hold a skill open (as far as I can tell) is to use long-running APL "delay" commands. I've also heard of people playing a silent audio file to prevent closure. This is not great. Can we have a feature to explicitly hold the session open until the user closes it?

Please allow us to create custom alarm skill so that we can create really cool features with that.

Provide ability to know the SpeakItem element that is currently being read (and being notified about it). Why? To keep the state, and when the user activate the skill again, it can start reading from the last SpeakItem element.

Please add the feature whereby a particular utterance would invoke Alexa to make an outbound call to a hard-coded phone number.

AlexaTextListItem's layout includes AlexaOrdinal. The latter has the parameter ordinalText. It would be nice to add to AlexaTextListItem the same parameter and pass it to the internal AlexaOrdinal.

Is it possible to allow changing of the doorbell chime sound via an API call, this way customers would not need to open the Alexa app.

Is it possible to enable the "doorbell press" option through the discovery / addupdate report or some other way?

A lot of customers forget to do this, so I was hoping to automate this or give them the option to change this via our website

Hi,

it would be nice to be able to read the current position of the audioplayer at every time. With this feature it would be possible to program an interactive audio drama, where the user could switch between characters or to enable switching between different versions of the same audio-file (For example an alternative version for people with hearing-loss).

If in my skill the user utters something I cannot answer, I would like the ability to delegate the utterance back to Alexa without exiting my skill. This way the user can "get the weather" for example without exiting my skill.

Could you please include in the JSON response an indicator of which environment the request are coming from? I.e. "Live" or "Development". This would make CloudWatch filtering easy.

Thanks!

provide an option to initiate alexa to alexa call/message from a skill itself

provide the original text as well, along with the intent

Have access as a developer to the full list enabled skills that a user has added to their Alexa device.

There might be use cases where a developer is dependent on another skill and wants to check if its active or not.
