Improve usability of arrival info #49

From Amazon:

When we read out the times they come by fast. Can we also add a repeat intent? If you do not have time for that, can we at least add a pause between each time slot?

To clarify, from Amazon:

The slight pause I am referring to would be a period, space and end quote so that it sounds more natural. Not talking about using SSML or anything more complex. For example, var speechOutput = "I will ask you " + GAME_LENGTH + " multiple choice questions. Respond with the number of the answer."

Working on the repeat intent...

ganeshgella commented 8 years ago

To reduce the output size for arrivals, should we add duration to arrivals intent ?

Currently one of the arrivals intent is as below,

GetArrivalsIntent for arrivals How about an additional one like, GetArrivalsIntent for arrivals in next {time_slot} minutes

@ganeshgella that's a good idea - can you add that to the ux issue for milestone v1.1? We are trying to get v1.0 out the door.
