Voice Applications for Alexa and Google Assistant is your guide to designing, building, and implementing voice-based applications for Alexa and Google Assistant. You’ll learn to build applications that listen to users, store information, and rely on user context, as you create a voice-powered sleep tracker from scratch. With the basics mastered, you’ll dig deeper into multiuse conversational flow and other more-advanced concepts. Smaller projects along the way reinforce your new techniques and best practices.
About the Technology:
In 2018, an estimated 100 million voice-controlled devices were installed in homes worldwide, and the apps that control them, like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, are getting more powerful, with new skills being added every day. Great voice apps improve how users interact with the web, whether they’re checking the weather, asking for sports scores, or playing a game.
What's inside:
Building a call-and-response skill
Designing a voice user interface
Using conversational context
Going multimodal
Tips and best practices
About the reader:
Perfect for developers with intermediate javascript skills and basic Node.js skills. No previous experience with voice-first platforms is required.
By the end of this book, I want you to be able to build voice applications for both Alexa and the Google Assistant platforms. I want you to understand the code necessary, and I want you to understand how information moves through a request between human and computer. Finally, I want you to understand the principles that provide a strong voice user experience.
To learn all of this, we’ll build a number of voice applications. Therefore, this book is ideal for anyone who wants to learn by doing and who has at least a basic understanding of programming. We’ll use javascript as our language of choice, although you don’t need to understand advanced javascript to follow along. I want you to focus on what we are doing to build the voice applications, so sometimes, I’ll explain portions of the javascript code that might be unfamiliar to those who don’t use the language regularly. Nonetheless, this book does not try to teach javascript.
