Alexa.Speak Italiano about alexa-remote-control HOT 14 CLOSED

hey, it has a feature all other languages want to have ;-)

What you can try is to create a "speak" in the alexa App in Routines and see what happends there. The same or will it speak what you typed?

from alexa-remote-control.

I've tried to create a routine.
Activation via phrase, and then alexa say me what i ask it to do (I've to choose from a predefined phrase, seems that I don't have the ability to use TTS in routine as far as i can see)

from alexa-remote-control.

Interesting. In Germany and English you can also enter custom free text to speak. As Alternative to choose from a list.

Same issue in spanish Alexa as italian - it doesn't just speak the text, it tries to convert into an order. -e speak:'Buenos dias' just returns (in spanish) "Sorry I can't find an answer to your question".

Hello manutremo,
can you confirm that also in spanish using Alexa app you cannot create a routine and specify a custom text for TTS with Alexa ?

from alexa-remote-control.

Yes I confirm that spanish alexa behaves the same as described above for italian.

Then, to be honest: someone should get a proxy into the app communication very fast to see if they maybe send something different on the message level in the app ... but I fear (because of the above info) that it is somehow "only" a bug on their server components.

BTW: You can fix that for you by using the equivalent to "Simon says ..." to your language

PS: was spanish also new since 31.10.?

from alexa-remote-control.

Yes, alexa spanish was launched on Oct30th.

The trick "Simon says" does not seem to work at least in the form "Simon dice"... I searched a list of available commands and I found "Alexa repite conmigo" (Alexa repeat with me), but it just returns "I can't repeat yet, but I'm learning"... which look like a hint that it's still being developed for this language.

from alexa-remote-control.

But then this may be the reason!
Normally speak commands are treated as "Alexa replease with me" kind of commands internally with the entered text added. So if "repeat with me" is not available in your country then they may be the "Fallback" reason" to just do what was supposed to be said

from alexa-remote-control.

It looks like so... we'll need to wait until this response is finally deployed on new languages. I'll keep trying.

from alexa-remote-control.

Spanish seems to be already working... Just so you know, maybe Italian is too.
