Alexa stops midway when reading long sentences
-
I try to make Alexa say long results of commands running through TriggerCMD, but I observed that she stops after a few seconds. Is it possible to have her read long sentences or is it a built-in limitation?

@tigor, How long is your sentence?
I tested this command with the conversational skills (TC, TRIGGERcmd, and Trigger Command) and it said all 56 of these sentences:
Here's my command if you want to test it yourself:
%USERPROFILE%\.TRIGGERcmdData\sendresult.bat "This is a lot of words 1. This is a lot of words 2. This is a lot of words 3. This is a lot of words 4. This is a lot of words 5. This is a lot of words 6. This is a lot of words 7. This is a lot of words 8. This is a lot of words 9. This is a lot of words 10. This is a lot of words 11. This is a lot of words 12. This is a lot of words 13. This is a lot of words 14. This is a lot of words 15. This is a lot of words 16. This is a lot of words 17. This is a lot of words 18. This is a lot of words 19. This is a lot of words 20. This is a lot of words 21. This is a lot of words 22. This is a lot of words 23. This is a lot of words 24. This is a lot of words 25. This is a lot of words 26. This is a lot of words 27. This is a lot of words 28. This is a lot of words 29. This is a lot of words 30. This is a lot of words 31. This is a lot of words 32. This is a lot of words 33. This is a lot of words 34. This is a lot of words 35. This is a lot of words 36. This is a lot of words 37. This is a lot of words 38. This is a lot of words 39. This is a lot of words 40. This is a lot of words 41. This is a lot of words 42. This is a lot of words 43. This is a lot of words 44. This is a lot of words 45. This is a lot of words 46. This is a lot of words 47. This is a lot of words 48. This is a lot of words 49. This is a lot of words 50. This is a lot of words 51. This is a lot of words 52. This is a lot of words 53. This is a lot of words 54. This is a lot of words 55. This is a lot of words 56."
Do you see your whole sentence in the Runs list for your command?

@Russ I ran your command, and observed that she stops in the middle of the third sentence. I think I found where the issue is. In my Alexa routine, I call TriggerCMD by using the following action: "ask TriggerCMD to run my_trigger", but after that, I tell her to "stop running TriggerCMD", which probably stops Alexa while she talks. The reason I do the second command, is that the first command seems to leave Alexa in a "TriggerCMD state", where she doesn't respond to queries as usual after the routine is completed, so I explicitly tell her to quit this state.
Do you have a better solution to avoid Alexa to be in this TriggerCMD state? Thanks

@tigor, I cut my command down to just this, and tested.
I wasn't able to reproduce the issue. Alexa stopped listening right after she spoke that short sentence.

Actually I can't reproduce anymore.... I must have done something wrong that led me to a wrong conclusion. Thanks Russ. I'll let you know if there's a problem!

@tigor, great. I'm glad it's working.
