Hi,
I would like to pass on some words of our tech for life team!
This feedback has been sent on and RNIB are looking at ways to resolve this,
the developers are working on these issues and will be working to improve the
skill. This is a first time of using an Alexa skill for RNIB, and at this
time we are still looking to improve along with the way services and
information is made accessible to more.
Best regards,

Hi Jonathan,
Yes, since you alerted me to it, I tried it, and it�s just a pile of
rubbish.
All the best

Subject: [access-uk] RNIB Advice Alexa skill - anyone heard of it or used it?
Was anyone aware that RNIB had a an Alexa skill called "RNIB advice"?
Apparently it's been out for a while, but I only just found it. I didn't have
much luck though.
I was getting significant delays in excess of 10-15 seconds to response to
most of the questions, even basic commands like "next" or "stop".
Maybe it's just my setup or network, but while other skills respond quickly,
this is what I was hearing - can anyone confirm?

It also can't seem to handle apostrophes so pronounces "you're, you'd and
you've" as "you re you dee and you vey."
Would love to know what they paid for it ����
