Simple 'Ask Alexa' flow...

[webtrekker]

This is just a first, simple attempt at triggering my Amazon Echo Dot using text typed into an Input Dialogue then allowing Automagic to read out the text to Alexa.

Usage is straightforward -

1. Make a shortcut to the flow on the Home Page.

2. Tapping the shortcut will bring up an Input Dialogue. Enter your Alexa command (use commas to add more space between words if needed) and hit 'OK.'

3. Your device will now read aloud the command and Alexa will react to it.

Here's a very short video of it in opration on my phone, triggering my Echo Dot. (The shortcut icon is the Union Jack).

This is the flow -

An obvious application would be for people with speech impairments or no voice.

Hope it's of use to someone.
