Ive tried to use Capture (audio) which works for one persons name only I cant link others to tables ?

No problem we can help. Congratulations on your wedding next week – what an awsome surprise for guests!!

It’s tricky to know exactly why it’s doing this – could be it’s not understanding the names? Are they by any chance Irish – only ask as seen Sibohan confuses Alexa as it doesn’t understand the spelling.

Can you take a screenshot of the skill – showing the blocks and email it to us Hello@SmartHomeGeeks.co.uk? We don’t advise uploading here on a comment as it has your guests names.

Thanks I sorted it! I’ve uploaded it to Alexa and mostly works fine but when I try some guests names it gives the wrong table even though they are not linked to that block?? Any ideas?? It’s my wedding next week am really hoping to surprise everyone with this!!

Thanks for your comment – this means you used something other than letters in the invocation name, for example £ or *. Let us know how you get on.

Hi Gary, Glad you like it and got it working. Unfortunately you need to invoke Alexa and the skill name. The skill name can be as short as you like as long as unique, for example Gary’s Wedding.

To confirm, each guest would have to say ‘Alexa, open ‘venue name’ ” to kick off the conversation each time? Or is there a way to shorten this?

Gary

The skill needs to match the language the Echo is set as. To change the Echo language open the Echo App and click settings, see https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201601980

Let us know how you get on.

I had this problem initially too, but changed both langues to English – USA, however – we are in the UK so would prefer it in UK English. Can see how to change the language in the app but not in Storyline, do you know how to do this ?
