[NHLakesChapter] Fwd: Alexa, Open National Federation – Access NFB-NEWSLINE

Wed Apr 28 22:56:28 UTC 2021

Thank you for sharing Jody.  I have an Alexa, so I will have to see if I can make this work with Newsline.  We have 17 of 27 active on this list now.  Hopefully more will connect soon!

Love and Prayers, 

Dana, Brady, Lydia

“My favorite method of accessing NFB-NEWSLINE is Alexa. I like to access NEWSLINE this way because I do a lot of multitasking. Alexa allows me to access NEWSLINE anytime during my workday. Some people like to turn on a radio for background noise, and so do I. But, I also like to listen to different publications available through NEWSLINE. I am a huge fan of technology. I think Alexa is a fun piece of technology and a convenient way to access the NFB-NEWSLINE service. Since it’s hands-free, I don't even have to stop what I am doing to select a publication.” - Samuel, NFB-NEWSLINE subscriber

Alexa, Open National Federation

The NFB-NEWSLINE Amazon Alexa skill must be enabled, and subscribers must log-in to NFB-NEWSLINE on their device on first use, but it’s then unnecessary moving forward. Here are some more tips and guidance on how to use:

*	Alexa can help you select and move through publications easily with a variety of commands
*	The reading voice and speed of articles using the Alexa skill can be altered
*	Any article read by the Alexa skill can be sent to you via email

Check out this demonstration logging in into an Amazon device from a previous recorded training. <https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=20850&qid=5189793>
