Favorite Amazon Echo Alexa skills as a blind person.

In this video I go over my favorite, and most used, Amazon Echo skills.

Awesome video! It's nice to meet you. I'm a visually impaired youtuber myself and I think it's awesome when other blind people out there have enough courage to get out there nad show the world we're just as capable as anyone else! Awesome job!

[@BlindGuyShow]

Nice to meet you as well!

Good Video alexa is interesting

[@theatomicpunkkid]

3 minutes 37 seconds, that's brisk baby! :-)

[@BlindGuyShow]

Hahahaha! Brisk is right!

[@theatomicpunkkid]

Also try things like Alexa play radio time machine and Alexa enable my tuner radio

[@theatomicpunkkid]

There's a blackjack game that reminds me of those old terminal games for Windows and also Simon's bomb squad and a couple other games but I can't figure out how to access them all

Dude this was really useful! Thank you. I’m always looking to find new technology to help me as a person who is legally blind.

[@BlindGuyShow]

You are very welcome!

I hope this video blow up someday.

As a blind Eco user I find I also use the dictionary quite a lot. Also very recently the ability to read Amazon Kindle books and listen to audible audiobooks through echo has been a boon.

Alexa be my driver so I do not have to schedule for a ride every time I want to go somewhere. It did not work man but maybe future Alexa will be able to do it because assistive technology is improving every day. That would be the best Alexa update ever.

When listening to the news briefs, can you interrupt Alexa and get the full story?

[@BlindGuyShow]

The whole news brief goes on for a few minutes and she actually goes on to Reed the full stories. I had to cut her off due too time.

[@michelebriere9569]

@@BlindGuyShow but if you wanted to listen to just one story, how would you do that?

[@LiveAccessible]

@@michelebriere9569 Hey! I don't know if it's too late, but I use Alexa to give news and there's no real way to pic a specific story just talking to Alexa, but you can set which stories you want her to tell you in your flash briefing through the Alexa App. Also, if you are not interested in one, you can ask her to go to the next one. Hope this helps!

Hi are you in Vestal NY?

Good stuff. I imagine "she" comes in awfully handy. We like ours.
