Other ways of listening eg Alexa
If you have an Internet connection (wi-fi):
There are many ways for you to listen online, and it may take a little experimentation, perhaps with the help of friends or family, to find which works best for you. We are available on Alexa and now Spotify, Apple Podcasts and most places you get your podcasts from.
We are called Chatterbox Norwich Talking Newspaper.
Alexa
Alexa is a service enabled by Amazon that enables you to have a dialogue with a ‘virtual helper’ called Alexa. There are many ways to access Alexa. The simplest is to use a special device called a ‘smart speaker’. This is a speaker that responds to your spoken voice commands. You can use it for lots of different things, including listening to Chatterbox.
Enabling Chatterbox material the first time you use Alexa:
Chatterbox Norwich has 5 publications which are available on a memory stick, our website and streamed using Alexa.
The weekly news summary edition is available on smart speakers by saying Alexa, enable Chatterbox”.
Chatterbox Just Talk is also available on smart speakers by saying "Alexa,enable Chatterbox Just Talk".
Chataround Magazine is also available on smart speakers by saying "Alexa, enable Chataround Magazine”.
Chatterbox EDP Norfolk Magazine is also available on smart speakers by saying "Alexa, enable Chatterbox EDP Norfolk Magazine”.
Once enabled, to hear any of these publications listeners just need to say "Alexa, open Chatterbox / Just Talk / Chataround / EDP Norfolk Magazine"
When Alexa says that the talking newspapers skill has been disabled, start again from the top i.e. say Alexa enable talking newspapers which should now work.
If you have wi-fi or an internet connection we can supply you with a smart speaker at no charge and set it up for you if you wish. Please call us on 01603 765365 for information.
