Help users avoid incorrect keywords
Example: I want to listen to the Troll soundtrack. 'Trolls' does not interest me. In 4 of 4 attempts, Troll was successfully heard, and Trolls started.
Usage:"Alexa, play Troll soundtrack, not Trolls" or "Alexa, play Troll soundtrack, ignore Trolls".
Alternatively, it could ask "Did you mean Trolls (Original Soundtrack) by varied artists or did you mean Troll?"

Have Alexa be able to spell certain words in commands through the Alexa App
Go ahead and try to get Alexa to play "Cantos Profane" by Richard Band. Or get it to call my friend Viktyr (No, I don't have any friends named Victor". Some things just require spelling, and Alexa does not accept spelling words out.

log out of unsatisfactory skills
Many skills perform the same tasks, some better than others.
Trying different skills is okay.
When skills are disabled they are still used (linked).
No way to stop old skills from interference. thanks1 vote -
See how styles affect component layout in APL
It would be useful to see why elements are positioned as they are in the simulator. Suggestions:
1. A feature to view the applied styles on each element, especially padding properties and the alignment properties of containers.
2. A feature to show the outlines of elements, especially invisible elements such containers.1 vote -
Utterance Profiler for Speech
Enable the utterance profiler for speech. My experiences using the profiler is that it gets typed utterances correct. However the problems occur during speech. I would like to see the various intent considerations.

Allow for a shorter time window for intent history
The intent history tool is currently aggregated as a rolling window that goes back 30 days and covers any day where at least 10 unique users used the skill. Unfortunately, there is no way to view data from a smaller, more recent window. This is particularly troublesome for iterative design, as the process to enhance your intent model is extremely slow, something like:
-Use Intent History to find cases where users are hitting the wrong intent, and fix skill (1 day)
-Certification (1 week)
-Wait for Intent History to clear out utterance misfires that were part of the rolling window…1 vote -
Add FM and DAB etc. to the InputController
I don't know if the intention is for the Mode Controller to replace the Input Controller in due course but as it stands the input controller does not have the full set of useful inputs in the localised markets.
In the UK for example I would suggest that FM, DAB are certainly missing and arguably it would be useful to have the more branded Freesat, Freeview, Sky as likely components that are driving an input.

Home Cards not shown in simulator for Echo/Dot
There is a problem with the simulator in that is doesn't show home cards for the Echo and Echo Dot. Since this is part of certification, it would be nice to be able to test this.

Promote Better Multimodal Skills on Skills Store and/or on SKill Details section
to enable end users recognize easily multimodal skills and incite them to activate and use on their screen devices (Echo SPOT,/Show/Tablets/TV..) , is it possible to show an extra iconnear each skill to indicate multimodal Ready for small/medium/large/extra screens on the skill store and/or on the skill details section ? In addition, skill developers may be interested to do extra development to get their skill compatible to multimodal and get more user engagement. Thanks, adrien

Please can the units of measure be enhanced to include all SI Units
The SmartHome SDK RangeController accepts a unit of measure.
It would be helpful if the full SI unit catalogue could be handled (both Base and Derived: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_System_of_Units#Base_units)
I can immediately see a need for Hertz for example

delete persistence record automatically when user disables a skill
In node.js if a user disables your skill, the framework should delete the persistent info record from the DynamoDB stream for the alexa skill automatically. Why leave dead data in my persistence store? The user has decided to disable the skill. It even gives you a warning that it will remove information but it's not deleting it from my dynamo db stream.

Support all available Amazon Polly languages in Alexa SSML tags
As of today, Amazon Polly has a korean voice available. However, this language can not be used in the Alexa SSML lang markup.
Please consider supporting all available Amazon Polly voices in Alexa as well.

Make alexa to take input like "double nine" or "triple six" and convert it into respective numbers.
If the user says something like "Double nine seven three four three eight two double six" for the phone number 9973438266, as is the case with a lot of users, alexa can't convert it to a number.
As of now, if the user says "Double (some number)", Alexa behaves unreliably. Sometimes it sends a question mark (?) and sometimes some unwanted request is called.
As this is one of the most common ways to provide numbers, It would be good if this option is added to alexa sound library.1 vote -
Add Locale information to the SmartHome API, in particular discovery
I had posted this previously but it seems to have disappeared?
With the SmartHome SDK there is a need to prevent users accessing interfaces that are not in specific regions. For example, an Australian customer accessing the US endpoint may or may not have access to the SceneController capability or the TemperatureSensor capability.
This is controlled at a level below the specific Alexa Gateway as some gateways only support some interfaces in some languages. We need a mechanism to identify which interfaces are supported.

API to set endpoint.
particularly when testing, the endpoint address may change...regularly. Testing using a service such as NGROK for example it likely to change when services go down. if the host could create the end point and call an API to set it up that would be just great.
thanks for considering.

Include a pre-defined key name in UserId for interactions coming from certification process
I run analysis against my skills to understand customer usage patterns. However, for some of my lower volume skills, this data can be clouded by interactions that happen for certification testing - and I have no way to know what traffic is from real users vs. certification testers. It would be great if userId's from certification testers included a specific format or key name (like "CERT") so I could filter them out in my analysis.

Add S3 Persistence Support to ASK SDK for Python
Currently the ASK SDK for Python supports data persistence using DynamoDB and it is recommended to use it, however, to expand some capabilities that only S3 can provide is a great alternative. the SDK for NodeJS already includes support for this officially. Not sure if this can be useful, I have implemented it and the information can be found here https://github.com/frivas/alexa-s3-persistence-python
I hope you find it useful.
Thank you very much.1 vote -

Allow Save, Disallow Build during certification
In developer console, I would let developers to SAVE the skill during certification stage and I would not BUILD the model. Bu this, it would be possible to continue development while putting in pause the distribution of it.
