Groom Elite class

Groom Elite's Dr. Mac will be posting short educational classes through Amazon Alexa voice skills during the Covid season to continue the education of grooms as they care for horses.

Comment 1

Inspiration as a thirty year student of horses and Dr. Mac, I saw the contest as an opportunity to give back to those that had helped me with their gifts.

What it does is gives grooms across the country easy listening access to Dr. Mac's classes while they are actively working in the stables.

How I built the skill was using the Voiceflow voice skill tool and an S3 account to publicly host the content image and video files.

Challenges I ran into were coordinating the development with Dr. Mac in Louisiana and me being in Arizona.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of my first voice skill passed ADC validation and getting to do Good with folks on my friend's list.

What I learned was how to supply correct content after the Next and Previous audio stream intents.

What's next for Groom Elite class is entering the second category for the Amazonraiseup.com contest using Amazon Pay.

Dr. Mac inadvertently choose the $39.99 Amazon Pay monthly fee instead of the $.99 choice. Dr. Mac has been quite upset about being charged and the difficult process to register for Amazon Pay.

The skill was not certified the first submission, due to advertising. Removed the mention of the Groom Elite contact information from the spoken text and resubmitted the skill for certification. Both times ran the Validation check and neither had any conflicts reported.
