Sight loss advice
RNIB and Amazon have worked closely together to
make information and advice about living with sight
loss accessible using your Echo device.
You can now instantly hear RNIB-verified
information using voice commands such as, “Alexa,
what assistive technology do blind people use?”,
“Alexa, how do I register as sight impaired or
severely sight impaired?” or “Alexa, what should
Ido if Ithink I’m losing my sight?”
Alexa Skills
Alexa skills are how you enable your device to help
you perform more voice-activated actions. Skills add
new functions to your experience with Alexa. They
are available in a variety of categories, such as:
•
Education & Reference
•
Games & Trivia
•
Health & Fitness
•
Kids
•
Productivity
•
Shopping
•
Smart Home
•
Sports
You can discover skills by voice or in the Alexa app.
By voice, try saying, “Alexa, discover skills.” The
device will then list the three most popular skills,
tell you a little about them and ask you if you want
to enable them. You can say Yes or No or ask to
hear more.
