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

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 😉
