If you have an iPhone or iPad you may want to access Newsline via the</span><br><span>app. If you have an I device and have not yet tried the app. Now might be a</span><br><span>great time to give it a look, I think you'll like it a lot.</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>One more bit of good news is that the NFB Newsline skill on the Amazon Alexa</span><br><span>devices is working fine. If you have an Amazon smart speaker such as an Echo</span><br><span>or Echo Dot, simply ask Alexa to open or enable the skill. You can do this</span><br><span>by telling her, "Alexa, enable National Federation". Once you'veWhen</span><br><span>enabling the skill for the first time, you will need to tell her your six</span><br><span>digit NFBNewsline user account number and then give her your four digit</span><br><span>passcode. Anytime you want to checkout Newsline on your Alexa device after</span><br><span>that you can simply say, "Alexa, open National Federation". I've been</span><br><span>enjoying my access to Newsline via my Echo Dot for a while now, and think</span><br><span>you'll find it a great deal of fun.</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>Looking forward to seeing all of you next weekend in Boca Raton at</span><br><span>convention. As a reminder, the NFB Newsline workshop will take place on</span><br><span>Saturday, May 26th from 3:00 to 3:45 pm. It would be awesome to see the room</span><br><span>packed with past, present and future Newsline users!</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>Russ Davis, Chairman</span><br><span></span><br><span>NFB Newsline of Florida</span><br><span></span><br><span>National Federation of the Blind</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>Contact for Support:</span><br><span></span><br><span>ph.
