Mapping for Alexa's speech recognizition #160

Closed Eldres closed 6 years ago

Work on mapping for phrases so Alexa can better recognize them

ie: "firebolt"{ "firevolt", "fireholt","fire bolt","firejolt", ...etc }

This issue has more to do with how Amazon handles words outside of our application. I did a bunch of research and contacted Amazon support - the long and the short is it's an Amazon issue. I added prompts in the skill description that ask users to open the application (interactive mode, not one shot mode) and retry if they're having issues.
