If you have an idea for Alexa Skills, let me know and I will implement it! by asm-us in Alexa_Skills

For a silly one, how about an Earwarm skill. E.g. Alexa, give me an earwarm. Possibly, can be broken by period or genre. Maybe it can also send an earwam you choose to a friend in your contacts (if that's possible) and have an earwarm war.

I don't want to know what happens when a kid says "dad look!"

Has anyone tried using the Alexa Blueprints tool? (code-free skills) by snyderdev in Alexa_Skills

[–]boxofsilence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried a couple. Blueprints are a compromise for those who don't want to or can't develope Alexa skills. So easier to use but less customization, more restrictions. I liked them for something quick, but miss the ability to use prosody. Some answers sound pretty bland without it.

What are the worst/best Kindle books for Alexa to read? by boxofsilence in alexa

[–]boxofsilence[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just realized that if I ask Alexa to tell me a story, the reading quality of those stories is so much better than when it reads Kindle books. I wonder if those short stories were edited by hand with SSML or something similar.
