This paper discusses the ways in which Alexa skills can be developed and enhanced for customizable utility. The aim of this project is to enable users to create Alexa-powered flash card games without special programming knowledge. Users will fill in a simple template on a website. This data is captured and sent to an Amazon Web Services (AWS) powered database management system called DynamoDB. Alexa then reads the data from the table and gives the user the ability to practice those customized flashcards using Alexa’s voice interaction model. The user is able to get audio-visual aid in memorization of the flashcards using the web interface and Alexa’s voice user interface.
