Authentication in a non www enviroment

Hi,

I am reviewing Alexa for a hosted VOIP service. This would be for both speech synthesis (we already do this), but new would be speech recognition. The VOIP service is offered to business users (not a consumer product). End users access our web site to configure the VOIP system. The use is for in telephone system auto attendants.

I can't quite figure out how the authentication should be used. It would be confusing to our customers to have to authenticate somehow with Amazon - is this a requirement of Alexa or is it allowable for us to authenticate as ourselves?

Thanks

Nick

I'm not entirely sure what you're expecting Alexa to do for you. Do you expect a user to speak to her, and you get the text that the user spoke? Are you planning on building a skill with her? Do you expect to feed Alexa text and get her voice back?

To answer your other question: yes, it is required that users log in with their Amazon account. Alexa needs the user's permission to access account details for that user, such as what songs are in their music library and what skills are enabled.
