How To Use Amazon Skill Set Without Amazon Echo Device
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#
- Javascript / Jquery
- Azure
Is it possible to use Amazon Alexa Skill Kit without an echo device?
Answer
Yes, the Alexa Voice Service does exactly that: Lets you process audio from any source, like a laptop or tablet or phone, using the Alexa Skills Kit. No Echo is necessary.
Make sure you read through Getting Started with the Alexa Voice Service and the Reference Implementation Guide; there are a lot of configuration steps that need to be done to make everything work together.
Did you get the Alexa Voice tutorial you linked to working?
