Inspiration
Taking a few minutes out of every day to be in the moment and enjoy peaceful sounds of nature.
What it does
Uses Alexa's new Sound library to play sounds from nature intermixed with advice on relaxation.
How I built it
Uses Alexa Skill builder and Lambda with Python.
Challenges I ran into
The Alexa Sound library only allows 5 audio files, so I had find a way to mix the spoken text with the audio files. I ended up limiting the playback time to 15 seconds to accommodate this limitation.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Learning about new Sound Library opened up a lot of possibilities for new skills.
What I learned
Learned a lot about SSML and audio playback.
What's next for Serenity Now
I would like to expand the Skill to use Spot and Show, perhaps showing pictures of nature to go along with the sounds.
