Deleting Voice Recordings Programmatically
I have a project coming up for someone that may include sensitive info, and I thought it would be useful to be able to run a script to delete voice clips through the CLI in order to scrub information it might have sent off without having to manually go through the app or something every time.
Or, even better, a way through the ASK to say something like "Alexa, delete voice recordings" and have it delete the recordings in some way.
I had originally asked about this in the dev forum and it was suggested that I suggest it here.…

Function of volume leveling
I have created skill introduces steps to cook meals with voice.
I have a problem. A gap between guidance in my skill and alexa’s voice are so different.But I can’t change volume of guidance, because they’re used in so many other platforms and they’re affected too.
Could you provide a function to adjust volume of media in video player and audio player?
That would be nice.Thanks!

Autosave please!
Please auto save! I've lost many edits on the older-version of this tool due to the lack of autosave. :)

Provide barge-in flag on request
As a developer, I would like a field on an incoming intent request payload that tells me whether that request was the result of a barge-in or not.
Rationale:
Today, there is no way to know whether an incoming intent in a live session was the result of the user completely listening to the previous response, or the result of the user doing a barge-in by invoking their wake word. There are several use cases where this information would be useful, but the two most important are:- If you were giving instructions to your user at the end of your…

Add an AMAZON.SmartHomeEvent.Updated notification
As more smart home skills are added that work with cycle based processes and devices such as recipe steps, ovens, washer, dryers,etc it would be very helpful to be able to proactively send Alexa notifications such as "Your upper oven preheat is complete" or "Your oven cook timer is complete" or "Your washer is done" or "Your dryer cycle is complete" or " It's time to baste the roast"
We have gotten solid feedback from our consumers saying that if they can start a cycle with Alexa, why can't Alexa tell them when the cycle is complete. These types of…

Support authorization when getting audio files to be played using the AudioPlayer
Currently audio files must be hosted on an Internet-accessible HTTPS endpoint on port 443 and authorization isn't supported, so a developer can't use an endpoint that requires authorization.
This limits the choices of media and forces customers to make audio files publicly accessible, while a customer should have the option to make his audio files available only through the Alexa skill/Mobile app he owns.12 votes -

Enable work with Echo Spot in-built camera on custom skill development
I would like suggest the possibility of incorporating a Camera Skill Kit in order to allow developers to manage the Echo Spot/Show in-built camera on custom skills.
I am thinking about all kind of skills that developers could design, like facial scanners, fall detector, etc..

Multiple Audio Streams For Skills
This would enable music, dialogue, sfx and background ambiences to start and stop independently and play simultaneously at runtime.
Ideally, some form of looping/ crossfading/ blocking/ ducking would be natively supported as well, though this could potentially be handled on the server or client side if the audio stream was able to be left open at great length.
Some form of this is already built into the Alexa stack as can be observed when Alexa interrupts music being played: In this case music doesn't stop but rather it ducks while TTS audio fires simultaneously.
Exposing this feature to the Skill…

AudioPlayer crossfade between 2 audio files / streams.
It would be useful to be able to crossfade between 2 audio tracks or streams.
If Track A was playing, then the track finished (or user says, 'Alexa, next') and Track B was enqueued, an option should be available in the response to fade between the 2 tracks.
If Stream A is playing, and a user says 'Alexa, next' (or any other audio control), an option should be in the response to fade between Stream A and B.
This would enable greater quality soundscapes and immersion. It would be an excellent benefit to innovative experiences in voice formats.

Alexa Smart Home: actual support for devices which are traditionally controlled by up/down or open/close switches
If you want to add the ability to, for example, control blinds in your smart home skill, the only option you have is the Alexa.PercentageController Interface.
This leaves you with the option to control your blinds by saying something like: "Alexa, set blinds to sixty". This feels very unnatural in our opinion. Wouldn't it be much more convenient to control such devices by saying: "Alexa, open/close blinds"? An optional "Alexa, stop" utterance could then interrupt the process.11 votes -
Support display directives in progressive responses
Currently, progressive responses only support voice/audio directives. Our skill can often take 5 - 8 seconds to complete its API calls to load up data required by a user's particular request. We would like to send down a display directive in a progressive response, allowing us to show a "splash screen" on Echo Show/Spot/Fire Cube (?) while the user waits for her request to be fulfilled.

Allow a "General" schema in Proactive Events API.
The new Proctive Events api has a limited number of specific schemas which greatly limits how customized the notification message can be.
Can we get a "general" type of schema that allows a more flexible message? This would make notifications much more useful.

Show Frequency in Intent History
The Intent History page in the developer console is a great tool for anyone trying to refine their voice model. The one thing it lacks, when viewing misfiring intents, however, is any indication of the scale of the problem. The output is just a giant list of utterance-to-intent mappings, without any context of how often those failed mappings are happening.
In the case of my skill CompliBot, for example, a recent look at the Intent History output gave me 13000+ unique entries, many of which were hitting the fallback intent when they needed to be hitting actual intents. Searching through…

Web fonts for displays
The release of APL is great, but we are stuck to using the Amazon Ember font, which is now the only thing that makes multimodal designs seen too Amazon-ish for some requirements.
It would be great it we could define custom typeface in the APL JSON and be able to use this font in containers and text fields in APL.
Cheers!
