Sample compression possible?

[Anastasia29]

Hi,

I wanted to ask you if there is any way to basically compress the samples. Let's say I have three utterances as input:
"why is it happening tonight",
"where is it happening tonight",
"when is it happening tonight"
and as output I want to get an alexa alike utterance syntax that "compresses" my utterances:
"(why|where|when) is it happening tonight"
Is something like this possible to create using your library? I'd appreciate your feedback and help. Thank you!

Best regards,
Ana

yes, you are looking for this I believe: https://github.com/alexa-js/alexa-utterances#generate-multiple-versions-of-static-text

Hi, If I understand it correctly what you just sent me is kind of other way around. Or not exactly what I need. Could you tell me how can I generate this: "(why|where|when) is it happening tonight" from this:
"why is it happening tonight",
"where is it happening tonight",
"when is it happening tonight" ?
What do I need to add to dictionary, slots and my template to achieve this result? I'd very much appreciate your help.

Thanks and best regards,
Ana

You can't, it's not currently designed to do that.
