Possible to get the text transcript along with the audio file response? about alexa-voice-service-client

[richtier]

@koshyviv I think this feature is unsupported by Alexa Voice Service. If you know otherwise please link to documentation and we can implement the feature :)

You're correct there is no documentation. I was able to find the transcripts from the history of alexa here -
https://alexa.amazon.com/spa/index.html#settings/dialogs

I can almost make good use of it. But for some reasons, i don't see the history being populated immediately for the requests that are sent from this client. For other services, like echoism it seems prompt.
Do you have an idea on this is so?

@koshyviv interesting. I wonder if it's because the http2 stream remains open. try updating this to something like:

        response = self.connection.get_response(stream_id)
        parsed = self.parse_response(response)
        response.close()
        return parsed

and feed back if the transcript becomes immediately available.

@koshyviv any movement on this?

@richtier i am assuming there was a server side issue - since its working well now without the update

good stuff. Closing.
