Here are the instructions to set up your Alexa device to hear the Scarborough Talking News and Scarborough Talking Magazine. (Please note that, currently, Talking Newspapers are no longer available via Google Smart devices.)

This is possible using the British Wireless for the Blind Fund‘s Talking Newspapers skill.

To setup the skill, say to your Alexa device:

Alexa, enable Talking Newspapers

Alternatively you may enable the skill in the Alexa App as follows:

Open App -> More -> Skills and Games -> Search -> “Talking Newspapers” -> Enable

Once the skill is enabled, you can play a Talking Newspaper by saying:

Alexa, ask Talking Newspapers to play <<Scarborough Talking News>>

Whilst the service is playing there are a number of commands you may use:

• “Alexa, next track”
• “Alexa, previous track”
• “Alexa, pause”
• “Alexa, play”
• “Alexa, stop”
• “Alexa, cancel”  to exit completely.
