AMAZON.LastName

Commonly used last names. For names that sound alike that are spelled differently, Amazon Lex V2 sends your intent a single common form.

The AMAZON.LastName slot type supports inputs using spelling styles. You can use the spell-by-letter and spell-by-word styles to help your customers enter names. For more information, see Capturing slot values with spelling styles.

Examples:

• Brosky

• Dasher

• Evers

• Parres

• Welt

AMAZON.LastName also returns a list of closely related names based on the original value. You can use the list of resolved values to recover from typos, confirm the name with the user, or perform a database look-up for valid names in your user directory.

For example, the input "Smith" may result in returning additional related names such as "Smyth" and "Smithe".

The following shows the response format for the AMAZON.LastName built-in slot type:

"value": {
    "originalValue": "Smith",
    "interpretedValue": "Smith",
    "resolvedValues": [
        "Smith",
        "Smyth",
        "Smithe"
    ]
}
