Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedIn this week's omnibus episode of the Echo Tips Podcast, host David Ward provides an in-depth, yet constructively critical, review of the Library of Congress's "My Talking Books" Alexa skill for individuals with print disabilities. While praising the skill's responsive setup and book listing capabilities, David highlights several key areas for improvement, particularly in playback control and navigation. He contrasts the "My Talking Books" interface with the more intuitive designs of similar skills from RNIB and Vision Australia, demonstrating issues with pausing requirements for commands and a cumbersome multi-step exit process. David proposes innovative solutions such as the implementation of distinct voices and auditory cues to enhance user feedback and differentiate the skill's environment. He also touches upon the potential of AI to revolutionize accessibility interfaces and points out inconsistencies in content availability compared to other NLS platforms. This episode serves as a passionate call for a more user-friendly and efficient experience for accessing talking books via Alexa. ## Attribution Galloway's Demo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4Hk6J71PTE Dot to Dot Podcast Episode 1650 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dot-to-dot-the-daily-5min-alexa-demo-show/id1205291265…

Back in the September Amazon Event, we were told and even got to hear a small segment of what the new Alexa Voice would sound like, join us as we dive into the Alexa Beta and test out the new voice. Its hard to tell whether this is the same voice demonstrated on stage or a slightly less advanced version, but the natural sounding quality; pronunciation and timing has improved from our dusty old Alexa Voice.

Echo Tips
In this riveting episode, we delve into the intricate world of Alexa’s AI Beta. Buckle up as we revisit key discussions from previous episodes (286 and 262) and uncover the truth: blocking this elusive Beta is akin to chasing shadows. Blueprints, tools, and even routines stumble in their attempts to shield us from the AI Beta. Why the fuss? Because Alexa’s Beta isn’t your run-of-the-mill digital assistant. It’s a Pandora’s box that can conjure anything—from innocent queries to downright eyebrow-raising content. Imagine your curious kiddo innocently asking about dinosaurs, only to be presented with fake information or worse presented with inappropriate content, for his age. But fear not! We’ve got a glimmer of hope: Amazon Kids, the trusty sidekick. It wields the power to thwart Alexa’s Beta, but—brace yourselves—there’s a catch. The Parental Dashboard, designed with all the grace of a hippo on on roller skates, leaves much to be desired. And don’t get us started on Amazon Music’s Explicit Filter—it’s like a sieve trying to catch Niagara Falls. Our host and fellow listeners are passionate about their Alexa devices. We’re not here to bash them; we’re here because we care. So join us as we navigate the murky waters of AI, parental controls, and the delicate dance between convenience and caution. HOW TO PROVIDE FEATURE FEEDBACK TO AMAZON 1. Open Alexa App 2. Go to "More" Button in bottom right. 3. Tap on "Help & Feedback", then feedback. ALTERNATIVELY 1. Say to your Echo, "Alexa, feedback".
