Alexa in The Browser, see https://alexaweb.herokuapp.com for a demo
The client uses getUserMeda to access the microphone, this mean it will only work in Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Edge, no IE and no Safari Support, also the latest version of Chrome requires that the page be served via https for anything other than localhost, running from heroku is therefore useful ;)
This app was built for heroku, if you want to run locally or on another platform you will require python 2.7 and a local install of redis, you will then need to install the modules listed in requirements.txt
git clone [email protected]:sammachin/alexaweb.git
make a note of your app name and if you want to rename it with
heroku apps:rename [yourappname]
heroku create
Add redis
heroku addons:create heroku-redis:hobby-dev
Next you need to obtain a set of credentials from Amazon to use the Alexa Voice service, login at http://developer.amazon.com and Goto Alexa then Alexa Voice Service
You need to create a new product type as an Application, for the ID use something like samsalexaweb, create a new security profile and under the web settings allowed origins put http://localhost:5000 and as a return URL put http://localhost:5000/code also if you are deploying to heroku add the heroku app url in addition to localhost:5000
Once you've got the security credentials put them into the creds.py file.
git add creds.py git commit -m "updated creds" git push heroku master
heroku open
