Subject: Amazon Alexa Command Sheet for your records friends

I have been asked many times for this so thought I would copy it here for 
all of you:
Amazon Alexa Command Sheet
        NFB-NEWSLINE® subscribers can access NFB-NEWSLINE hands-free on any 
Amazon Alexa product, including Echo and Echo Dot. Below are some sample 
commands for accessing and using the skill.

Getting Started
Say "Alexa open National Federation" then "Alexa ask National Federation to 
log in."
Be sure to clearly state "log in" for best results.
Next, you will be asked to provide your subscriber identification number and 
security code.

Selecting Content, Navigating Sections and Articles
Alexa can help you select and move through publications easily with a 
variety of commands. Here are a few to get you started:
"Alexa ask National Federation to read The New York Times."
"Alexa ask National Federation to read The Wall Street Journal."
"Alexa ask National Federation to go to next section."
"Alexa ask National Federation to go to previous section."
“Alexa ask National Federation to list publications from Texas.”
“Alexa ask National Federation what sections are available.”
“Alexa ask National Federation to list issues.”
Move through articles by simply saying “Alexa Next” or “Alexa Previous.” 
(Please note that all other commands need to begin with “Alexa ask National 
Federation.”)
Voice Selection
"Alexa ask National Federation to change voice."
"Alexa ask National Federation to use voice Paul."
"Alexa ask National Federation to use voice Kate."
"Alexa ask National Federation to use voice Eloquence."

Changing the Speed of the Reading Voice
"Alexa ask National Federation to read a little faster."
"Alexa ask National Federation to read a little slower."
"Alexa ask National Federation to read much faster."
"Alexa ask National Federation to read much slower."

Emailing an Article, Section or Publication
"Alexa ask National Federation to email me this article."
“Alexa ask National Federation to email me this section.”
“Alexa ask National Federation to email me this publication.”

Adding Favorites
“Alexa ask National Federation to add this to my favorites.”
“Alexa ask National Federation to list my favorites.”
“Alexa ask National Federation to delete this from my favorites.”

Getting Help
In order to listen to a recording of a training session on the use of the 
Amazon Echo with the NFB-NEWSLINE skill that was conducted earlier this 
year, please use the command “Alexa ask National Federation to give me 
instructions.”
For more assistance, please call 866-504-7300 or send an email to 
nfbnewsline at nfb.org.
And if anyone wants to sign up in New Jersey, just send me an email at:
