I'd like to set the trigger of an AWS lambda that uses Alexa events to run the trigger, but I can't find anything in the SDK documentation. Does anybody know? I would be particularly happy if somebody showed me how to do it with the node.js SDK, but other ideas (CLI) are also welcome. I was playing around with the event source mapping SDK calls, but it doesn't seem to do the trick. I think the APIs were designed for Kinesis and Dynamo streams and just didn't catch up with latest Alexa development changes. I have found it. Thanks to this Amazon Developer Forum Article You need to use the add

I am trying to convert an mp3 file to the format expected by the audio tag in the Amazon Alexa SSML markup language as described here: https://developer.amazon.com/public/solutions/alexa/alexa-skills-kit/docs/speech-synthesis-markup-language-ssml-reference The documentation recommends using https://www.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html I tried this command but can't find the right codec to use: ffmpeg -y -i input.mp3 -ar 44100 -ab 48k -codec:a mpeg2 -ac 1 output.mp3 I know I need to convert the file because Alexa fails with the following error: The audio is not of a supported MPEG version szatmary Its a

I've already posted this question to the amazon developer forum but don't receive an answer there. I guess Stackoverflow should've been the first choice from the beginning: From my understanding if I use a Custom Slot Type even if the list of its possible values does not contain the spoken word the spoken word is still passed to the function. The documentation says A custom slot type is not the equivalent of an enumeration. Values outside the list may still be returned if recognized by the spoken language understanding system. Now I have a Custom Slot Type LIST_OF_PERSONS with values Matthias

I am trying to integrate amazon skill kit in my website without an amazon echo unit. I want to implement voice commands on my website using the laptop/PC microphone instead of an echo unit. I have used this tutorial but I didn't find anything about how to implement it on my side. I also tried these samples available on github. But I think these also require an Amazon echo device: https://github.com/amzn/alexa-skills-kit-js I am using Windows with the development environment given below My development environment I am able to configure web server for Alexa skills and it is working Asp.Net C#

I want to ask alexa different sorts of questions and then at the end I want it should ask "Is there anything else you would like to know?" and when I say yes (where yes is working suggestion) it should suggest me according to the intent I am in. Like if I am in IncityIntent: 'InCityIntent': function () { speechOutput = ''; speechOutput = "The atmosphere in the city is beautiful. Is there anything else you would like to know"; this.emit(":ask", speechOutput, speechOutput); 'YesIntent': function () { speechOutput = ''; /*when the user say yes, he should get this output*/ speechOutput = You can

I'm writing a skill in Node JS 8. I have an intent set up with slots and it works properly if I say Ask {skill name} to {utterance}. I'd like to design my skill so that the user can just say Open {skill Name} and on opening it will ask them for input that will then be handled and passed to the intent. I've seen multiple people say that you can't do this. But I've used 2 skills today that did exactly this. I'm just looking for the correct syntax to do this. I have: 'LaunchRequest': function() { this.response.speak("What note would you like?"); this.emit(':responseReady'); } Which seems like it
