After Enabling The Skill In The Alexa App
Alexa should now respond to Ventura County Information Skill commands. Begin by saying “Alexa, ask Ventura County Main Menu”. This will cause Alexa to read off a list of topics you may ask about.
You can ask questions such as:
“Alexa, ask Ventura County where do I go to get a copy of my birth certificate?”
If you ask more than one question soon after the previous question, you should not have to repeat the part “Alexa, ask Ventura County”, just ask the next question.
- “What topics can you tell me about?
- “What questions can you answer?”
- “List Topics”
- “How do I get a food sales permit?”
- “Where do I go to find the jail?”
- “Where do I report for jury duty?”
