How to enable Alexa Skill?

We recently developed Amazon Alexa Skill for a charity organization in the U.K called as “Basildon Hindu Samaj”. https://tinyurl.com/y4knnyfv

Purpose of “Basildon Hindu Samaj” skill is to get the events details hosted by “Basildon Hindu Samaj” committee members. Also it would help you to know more about type of events, time of the event, place of the event and how to contact them.

You can either enable “Basildon Hindu Samaj” skill from your Amazon Alexa mobile app or by saying to Alexa device to enable “Basildon Hindu Samaj” skill.

I know many of you have already got Amazon Alexa devices and are very familiar with the invocations and enabling skills.

In this video I would like to show, how to enable the skill using your mobile app, and start asking questions about “Hindu Samaj “skill. This is very useful for people who don’t have Alexa devices, but they can use there smart phones as their Alexa device.

You need to install Amazon Alexa mobile app, then navigate to Skills section and search for “Basildon Hindu Samaj”, the next step is to enable the skill. Once you have enabled you would see options to choose from the various English accents. If your Alexa devices are registered in the UK, Or if you have an amazon UK account by default it is set to English GB accent.

If you want to speak and listen in Indian English accent then you need to De-Register your UK devices from amazon (manage devices settings ) and register with Indian English accent.

If you have got Indian English accent setup on your device, then you can straight away ask questions.

ask hindu samaj when is the event

ask hindu samaj to tell about the event format

ask hindu samaj about committee members

If you have got UK English accent setup on your device, I would advice you to invoke the skill first before asking questions. Click on the blue button to invoke intent as seen in the video.

If you have got UK English accent try out the commands above, if you don’t have UK English accent try commands as shown below.

example

you can first say,

“ask hind samaj” and give a pause to hear a message from Alexa, then you can ask

“when is the event”

Voice has power – Alexa where is my ???

Alexa_DeepakRoy.jpeg

The next generation future is going towards voice enabled AI devices and applications. GeniusLead is trying out prototypes on Alexa Skills one of them is called as “Where is my thing”, you can enable this skill https://tinyurl.com/y6qzkeop on any device.

Remembering all the things you have placed unconsciously at home, office, school becomes difficult. It’s better to outsource this job to a free personal assistant, who can store all the details of the things or objects anywhere as you store them. Use your voice command and ask Alexa to store any object at home, and retrieve any information any time. Example : Say “Remember” “Land registry documents is at my office desk at fourth rack”. Then ask alexa “Where is my” “Land Registry documents”. Another example : “Remember” “My old sticker book is in the shed”, then ask Alexa “Where is my” “sticker book”. You can also update the location again for the same object, Alexa would retrieve the updated location. Data is stored in a secured database on cloud for each user and not shared with anyone. Try it out yourself, still more to come soon!!!

Times Of India:

Govt school adopts mobile app to record students’ attendance.

The Government Higher Primary School at Hale Kesare village has become the first state-run school in the district to use a mobile app for recording students’ attendance.

The ‘Smart Attendance’ mobile app was launched on Saturday by the scion of the erstwhile Mysuru royal family Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar. The app has been developed by Genius Lead, United Kingdom-based software company, which was founded by Deepak Roy, a Mysurean and one-time resident of Hale Kesare village.

Pointing out that he had been able to realise his dreams by following his passion, Roy said, “I was good at computer science since my childhood. I worked without a salary, on my laptop for one year at my first job. I did it because I did not want to lose the opportunity of working at a good software company. I just followed my goal and improved my skills.”

Highlighting the environmental benefits of using an app for attendance in lieu of registers, Roy said, “Not only will the app ease the process of taking attendance, but it will also reduce use of paper at schools. If about 4,000 schools adopt this app, then more than ten trees can be saved from felling in a year. If all schools in the state adopt this technology, then more than 2,000 trees will be saved from the axe.”

The Maharajas of Mysore in Education- The Legacy Lives On

 I trust that under the enlivening influence of English education which has done so much for the progress of the Nation, Mysore will not be found behind the rest of India.

– Sri Krishnaraja Wadiyar III

The contribution of the Maharajas of Mysore to the improvement of education has a long legacy. The famous Mysore University was set up by Sri Krishnaraja Wadiyar IV and has been a pioneer in higher education and the betterment of the education sector. The welfare of his subjects was prime on the Maharaja’s focus and in his far-sighted wisdom, he saw the role education had to play in it.

The contributions of the Maharajas started much earlier however. The Raja’s Free School was established by Sri Krishnaraja Wadiyar’s grandfather, Sri Krishnaraja Wadiyar III in 1883. This set the foundation to what the rulers of Mysore would keep as one of their foremost goals. The Free School offered high-quality education to the boys of Mysore without charge.

Since then, the Maharajas have championed the cause of education. This spirit is held high by the now ruler of Mysore – Maharaja Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar. When he heard about our event and our intention of contributing to bettering the education processes for government schools, he graciously accepted to honour the occasion with his presence. He is an inspiration to the future generations and we are deeply grateful.

We look forward to having the Maharaja with us at the event. The Invitation is below. It is on the 22nd of July at Government Higher Primary School, Hale Kesare, Mysore. We look forward to having you there!

Motivational Success Quotes

We all want to be successful. We all want to reach for the stars. We all want to soar and achieve our dreams. The drive to succeed, the positive energy to keep at it, and the determination to achieve our dreams is a fire inside us that keeps us up.

I have always been conscious of my passion to soar high. Both literally (my flying lessons are under way successfully!) and symbolically, I decided nothing would stop me. When I conceptualized Genius Lead, I knew I had to fight hard to achieve success and I embraced it completely. I love the journey.

Each one of us entrepreneurs have that spark inside of us – the drive that will eventually get us to where we want to be. Every spark does need fuel to keep it burning though and I have found that tapping into the words of great achievers, savouring their story and letting their success infect me keeps my positive energy burning alive. Hope it helps you too.

Here are a few success quotes from the greats

Smart Attendance

Geniuslead has chosen few remote village in India, to try out the prototype and also the establish awareness of advance technologies in the market. Geniuslead has some brilliant ideas on collaborating remote villages to a centralise hub, where the resources are easily shared with any poor children in that school.

In the first phase, Geniuslead is issuing ID cards to all the school children at free of cost. Soon after that an mobile app is going to be released for all the teachers, to take attendance using smart phones. At this point complete attendance book would go online, and can be accessible by a secured web application.

Second phase is much advanced, sepecific to android phones with NFC enabled, where a teacher can take attendance without even calling their names. How????

wait for my next blog.
