I attended a meetup for Alexa designers, and the speaker stated that only twenty percent of Alexa users use skills.
I think part of the problem--a big part of the problem--is that the Amazon Alexa skills search engine heavily weights results to the one hundred or so skills attached to big name brands. However, there are a lot of skills that could be highly appealing and/or useful to people with, or without, disabilities.
For instance, if you live in the Boston area, there is a MBTA skill which will give alerts for each of the separate lines. You can place this in your flash briefing and then ask about that particular line at any time.
In order to start a Facebook group, however, I need to invite at least one other person.
If anyone here would be willing to be that invitee, and provide a Facebook moniker, I would appreciate it, and there would be no further obligations to participate if not desired.
Thanks in advance!
