<say-as interpret-as="time">14:25</say-as>

Alexa says as fourteen twenty five. Is there a way to specify as two twenty five pm?

Hi,

thanks for your post.

It is not possible to format time in the 12hr format that way.

However the "time" tag supports the "pm" word as well, so you could use something like:

<say-as interpret-as="time">2:25pm</say-as>

Kind regards,
Gaetano
