You can now choose from the following five distinct voices to personalize your NFB-NEWSLINE experience.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Kate: Our beloved clear, professional female voice<o:p></o:p></p><p>Paul: The familiar, warm male voice you've come to trust<o:p></o:p></p><p>Sophie: A new, natural-sounding female voice<o:p></o:p></p><p>Mark: A new, engaging male voice<o:p></o:p></p><p>Eloquence: Our reliable synthesized voice option<o:p></o:p></p><p>Trying out these voices is simple! Just say, "Alexa, ask National Federation to change voice." Each time you use this command, the skill will rotate to the next available voice, allowing you to sample each one until you find your perfect match.<o:p></o:p></p><p>We encourage you to explore these high-quality voices and find the one that best suits your preferences. Whether you're catching up on your favorite newspaper, magazine, or local news, these natural-sounding voices will make your listening experience more enjoyable than ever.<o:p></o:p></p><p>If you need any assistance or have questions, our dedicated customer service team is here to help.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Phone: 1-866-504-7300<o:p></o:p></p><p>Email: <a href="mailto:nfbnewsline@nfb.org">nfbnewsline@nfb.org</a><o:p></o:p></p><p>Give these voices a try today.
