Now that I'm getting the hang of APL, I can easily capture user-input
from touchscreen Echo Show devices. See the above quick-and-dirty video,
which shows a beta copy of MediaServer (called 'Playground', so I can
test both the live and beta skills without mix-up) asking to list Snow
Patrol albums in my LMS library. I then choose and play one of them (on
the assumed player) by touch-input rather than voice. The subsequent
feedback on my selection includes both spoken and visual confirmation,
in addition to the fact that the chosen album actually starts to play
:cool:

Obviously, exhaustively browsing your library is best done on a
tablet/mac/PC because it has no limitations. Voice-control is great when
you're under the shower or chopping vegetables and can't use a tactile
controller. A hybrid of the two paradigms opens new possibilities — make
an initial selection by voice, then narrow-down by touch after receiving
visual clues (the spoken feedback stops when I touch the screen but
would continue on a screen-less Echo).

Any thoughts on how useful this would be?
