  1. 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 ?

  2. Fix Earnings Month dropdown

    Hi,

    Your dropdown for selecting months in the Earnings tab is not displaying all months depending on the number of rows in the table below it. I, for instance, can only select up to June.

    Cheers,
    Lennert

  3. BUG: Echo Spot preview Background image squished instead of cut like on the actual Device

    Echo Spot preview Background image is getting squished instead of cut. I did this https://i.imgur.com/FMt1tUl.png template. It matches both devices very closely, but in the simulator preview the whole image is displayed in a squished state to match the circular shape of the spot.

  4. The tutorial screenshots do not match the current builder.

    The tutorial screenshots do not match the current builder.

    For example https://developer.amazon.com/alexa-skills-kit/tutorials/fact-skill-1 looks like https://www.dropbox.com/s/bp4p4xru11iama5/Screenshot%202018-05-03%2014.23.31.png?dl=0

    Yet the actual Skill builder looks like https://www.dropbox.com/s/e4kk4eo1o9lv50g/Screenshot%202018-05-03%2014.23.42.png?dl=0

    This makes following the tutorial a little confusing and difficult.

  10. Fix translation

    Don't use machine translation to translate the dev interface to other languages. The page on Intent History in the Alexa Console is awful in German and does not make much sense. For example the level of confidence in an utterance (High, Medium, Low) becomes "Vertraulich" in German which happens to mean confidential …

  12. Bug in the simulator

    Just today I noticed a bug in the Alexa Simulator. I test my skill, it works for the first time, however, it doesn't work (launches, but fails in intent calling) the second time unless I upload the same lambda function code again and save. Anyone else having the same problem? And any idea about the fix?

  14. One simple error in Alexa Developer Guidance.

    I would like to let you know one error in below page.

    https://developer.amazon.com/en-US/docs/alexa/workshops/build-an-engaging-skill/attributes-manager/step1.html

    The following codes are missing from the full code description section at the bottom of the page:

    //Let's now check if there's a current score. If not, initialize it.
    if (!sessionAttributes.hasOwnProperty('score'))
    sessionAttributes.score = 0;

    There should be after this line.

    sessionAttributes.current_celeb = null;

  15. Make Alexa India skills to Survive (earn) Globally

    I have been developing more skills and it is being engaged a lot globally by many users. However I am facing a lots of charge for use of Bandwidth. It was beyond 100 USD which is offered by AWS every month. Now I stopped deploying/Improving skills for the past two years due to this reason. As of now Only Alexa skills deployed in India can earn only from top engaging skills from English (India) Locale. However, it is to be noted that Indian products can be sold globally and why not these skills can't earned globally? Even we don't have…

  16. Person name is not taking properly

    I want to make an alexa skill which takes two person names and test the love percentage. But what I came to see that alexa is not accurate when it comes to the person name. Is there a way that I can give the person name using spelling For example : I want to give 'Tejasai' as a slot but alexa is taking it as 'Tejas', Instead I want to give slot (or input) as
    'T' 'E' 'J' ' A ' 'S' 'A' 'I'

    (spelling out each individual character) and it has to take the input as ' TEJASAI'.

  19. open any URL using Alexa voice

    I am able to create a Web application and manage it using AWS Lambda function but is it possible to open existing web application and manage them?

    For instance, If Alexa says open any existing application(For instance :Login page of my application),It should open the application in a browser by itself. Based on details from Alexa voice input, it should enter the username and password automatically. Can some one please confirm if this is possible and if yes kindly guide me on the same.
