Forcing a user to remember a skill name is counter-intuitive, bad experience and leads to low adoption rates.
PROBLEM: Forcing a user to remember a skill name is counter-intuitive, bad experience and leads to low adoption rates.
Examples :
Alexa, tell Agent NEO to find my Home Value
Alexa, tell Harmony to turn on my TV
Alexa, ask AllRecipes for a Pasta RecipeProposed Solution:
Alexa, find my home's value (Alexa knows that the skill Agent NEO that the user has enabled, can handle this intent)

allow access skills from another region/language
More than 1 million Bulgarian immigrants scattered across the globe are struggling to preserve their cultural identity/heritage and to pass it over to their children. There are Alexa skills (like "Bulgarian library" skill) which could help them teach BG-language to their children however currently Amazon does not allow access to this skill from anywhere except US,UK,CA,AU. Most of the world (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, etc) has no access to it. So, in this case splitting the globe into regions makes no sense whatsoever.
Would be greatly appreciated by thousands of people IF Amazon allows access to skills which are outside…

Alexa Czech Language Support
Please consider Czech language support for Alexa, as it is a highly developed country in terms of e-commerce, and as well as one of Amazon's logistics centres is located there. Thank you.

Add support for multi languages on the same phrase.
Being a spanish speaker in US it's hard to ask Alexa to play your favorite spanish artist in Amazon Music. Things like: "Alexa, play Joaquin Sabina", are almost impossible today.

Document at least, and please work at least slowly on IDN
For SmartHome-Skills & German language, there has IMHO been no progress within the last 6 months. Undocumented non-support for certain languages e.g. for scheduling with ThermostatController is a No-Go. My preferred shortlist for german language support expansion: 1) Scheduling, 2) Sensors (Liters, Watt, kWh, mm etc.) to query all kind of numbers.

Make Alexa.ContactSensor and Alexa.MotionSensor available for en-gb users
The ContactSensor and MotionSensor types are available in many regions but not the en-gb locale. Given that the security panel controller is available in en-gb it would bring a large benefit to users to be able to utilise the contact & motion sensor functionality.

How Alexa can recognize Hindi/Marathi names of river, city, mountain and many more like Ganga, Pune, Kalsubai etc
My question is related with India store of Alexa . In India river name, city name, mountain name could be pronounced differently per region in India and Alexa would recognize it differently. For example, ganga could be gangaa, gangga, ganges and many more. I tried entity resolution approach, however practically it’s not feasible to identify all possible combinations of spellings in advance to add as synonym in custom value. How can it be achieved ?

Standard intents in brazilian portuguese - Amazon.Letters and Amazon.Numbers
Dear colleagues at Amazon Alexa, good morning. I am developing a series of educational skills for Alexa, in Portuguese, Brazil.
As these skills have quiz, with questions and answers, and options like a, b or c. , I noticed, that even putting the options a., b., and c in AnwerIntent there is no guarantee that Alexa will understand the letter "c". Often, when it is pronounced c., It is understood as "sim".
My suggestion is to have a standard intent for letters in the Portuguese language - AMAZON.LETTERS. , the same would be important for numbers, - AMAZON.NUMBERS. Both would…

Add Portuguese/Brazil in the support regions for camera apps...
Add Portuguese/Brazil in the support regions for camera apps with Alexa.RTCSessionController and Alexa.CameraStreamController.
This will allow many apps that already work in English to be added to the Brazilian store. It can also solve some problems that video apps have to not work correctly on Echo show 5 and 8 in brazil
