[Ohio-Talk] How to Use Newsline with Amazon

[Maggie Stringer]

Hi Ohio,



Several of our members wanted more information in being able to access
their Newsline subscription using their Amazon smart speakers. I have
included the directions and list of commands below. Make sure to have your
subscriber identification number and security code prior to setting up
Newsline on your device.



To enable the NFB-NEWSLINE Skill:

Say, “Alexa, open National Federation.” Or say, “Alexa, open Newsline.”

To hear instructions about the skill say, “Alexa ask National Federation to
give me instructions.”



You will need to log in the first time you open the skill. It will remember
you every time there after.

Say, "Alexa open National Federation."

Then say, "Alexa ask National Federation to log in."

State clearly, "Log in."

Now, provide your subscriber identification number and security code.



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 read next section."

"Alexa ask National Federation to go to previous section."



To move from article to article:

Simply say, “Alexa, Next” or “Alexa, Previous."

(Note: all other commands need to begin with “Alexa ask National
Federation.”)



To alter Reader Voice and Speed:

"Alexa ask National Federation to change 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."



To save an Article:

"Alexa ask National Federation to email me this article."



General Help Command:

“Alexa ask National Federation to give me instructions."



Hope this helps bring clarity to those having difficulty with using
Newsline on their Amazon devices.
