  2. In Annotation Set page, when you don't add an 'expected intent' it says 'internal error'. Isin't easier to just add a checkmark next to the mandatory fields or columns. This is part of testing and feedback.

  3. Hi I need to turn on a light....

    AVS is cool and can be a lot... but why I need to run a Lambda instead of run my Local Skill?

    I'm quite sure that Echo Dot or higher end Alexa Devices are quite enough powerful to run my skill locally with no remote API/KEY/VALIDATION/etc...

    Send me an xml saying
    <LIGHT name="MyLight"><NEXT_STATE>1</NEXT_STATE></LIGHT>

    It would be wonderful if we could use AVS and a very light SDK library layer to run OVER the Alexa device.
    The purpose is to transform Alexa devices into a Mic able to ask to AlexaVS and then…

  4. 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.

    GET request /user_skills

  5. If this page is viewed on a small enough resolution, it will cut off the Alexa Client Secret string without any indication to the end user that they need (or even can?) scroll to the right for the complete string.

    Suggestion is to either make it explicit that the string is being visually truncated and you need to expand the window, or add a "copy to clipboard" function to eliminate any issues.

  8. Why the current behaviour (animation (AnimateItem) starts after the Alexa speech) should be changed:
    -As long as the animation is playing the user cannot directly interact with Alexa, only if the user use the activation word he can interact again with Alexa, this could be confusing.
    -If the animation is more like a bonus or a visualisation to the Alexa speech it should start directly with the response.
    Solutions:
    -Set the animation to start with the response and not after the Alexa speech
    -Give developers two options, "start with response" or "start after alexa speech"
    -Separate the animation from the…

  9. Currently I can quickly run tests of my code in development, but I'm now adding more <audio> tags in my SSML, and when I run the replay, all I see is <Short audio> What I'd like to see is <Short audio: door_opens.mp3>, etc. Just pull the last fragment of the URI and display it in the tag (e.g /([^/]+)$/ = everything in the uri after the last forward slash.)

    Otherwise, I can't automate any tests that require verifying the audio files in my ssml are right for the current context.

  11. When you navigate to Certification Tab after making a change in Code or Distribution tab
    Expected:
    It should launch validation automatically and display only remaining errors after validation checks with new changes.
    Observed:
    I was been displayed all errors and need to press run to run the validation.

  12. I have tried working with the VideoApp directive. There are many limitations to it.

    1) You cant move previous or next in it. Thus you can play only one video at once which is not feasible.

    2) After the video gets finished, the session times out at different intervals every time.
    Eg. When video played the first time, the session remains active for a longer interval of time, when the video is played second time in the same session, the session remains active for a very short span of time. This is an unexpected behaviour.

    I would request to add…

  13. Expose the same API in the ASK SDK that the Simon Says Skill has access to. Using AMAZON.SearchQuery does not cut it for messaging and social media type skills.

    Thanks

  14. Two of the permissions our skill requests are not strictly required to use the skill. We request either Location Services or Device Address permissions, depending on a user's device, to improve the experience of searching nearby.

    It would be nice if we could add an indicator under the "Manage Permissions" section of the skill settings to let a user know which permissions are optional and which permissions are required to use our skill.

  15. It would be nice to control the order in which permissions appear under the "Manage Permissions" link for an Alexa skill. More important permissions that a user must grant for a better skill experience should be listed first.

    Currently, the order of requested permissions is fixed as:

    • Device Address
    • Customer Name
    • Customer Email Address
    • Customer Phone Number
    • Lists Read
    • Lists Write
    • Amazon Pay
    • Reminders
    • Location Services

  17. The programmatic access to the device info data would open new opportunities for business that serve the customers through Alexa.
    Also, it would allow to access the data about the environment in which the device is operated.

  19. Many large companies have or utilize third party voice authentication mechanisms to provide voice auth across a number of channels (e.g.,IVR, mobile app). While voice profiles are available through Alexa, is it possible to have an option to reuse existing third party voice auth APIs companies have invested in already within Alexa Skills?

  20. Need two way video support using RTCSessionController to enable lot of skills, long with much needed Aira for Visually impaired. This is a much add feature and I hope low hanging for enabling accessibility using Aira.
