Publishing an Amazon Echo Skill
- amelius 10y agoIs there a way I can filter out (exclude) stories involving commercial/proprietary platforms from HN?
- eabraham 10y agoI encountered many of the same roadblocks for submitting a skill. I found this checklist helpful to reduce the number of submissions. https://developer.amazon.com/public/solutions/alexa/alexa-skills-kit/docs/alexa-skills-kit-voice-interface-and-user-experience-testing?ref_=pe_679090_102923190 https://developer.amazon.com/public/solutions/alexa/alexa-sk...
- acucciniello 10y agoYes this is very useful for this. Thank you for the link!
- adamveld12 10y agoFunny, I just tried making an alexa skill the other day so this is appropriate. How did you get around the restriction on the types of utterances you can do? It seems like with this type of app you would need to use AMAZON.Literal but they took that out for (security?) reasons. I saw that you effectively have placeholder text in your slot definitions, is alexa 'loose' enough with utterances to let you say almost any phrase?
- acucciniello 10y agoI hope that my post can help you then! It seems as if with the custom slot type, I was able to create my own slot type for each of the things I needed. Then I gave it some sample inputs for that type and I tried making it general but covering different types of inputs (ones with numbers, symbols etc). Here is a link to my IntentSchema.json file to see how I made the intents: https://github.com/acucciniello/alexa-open-doc/blob/master/speechAssets/IntentSchema.json https://github.com/acucciniello/alexa-open-doc/blob/master/s.... Here is a link to folder containing the slot type definition files: https://github.com/acucciniello/alexa-open-doc/tree/master/speechAssets/slotTypes https://github.com/acucciniello/alexa-open-doc/tree/master/s....
