How To Series: Audiobooks and Reading

Being blind, deafblind or having low vision should not be an obstacle to set foot in the world of books. Books gives readers the opportunity to gain knowledge, self-confidence and independence. With the use of Blind Low Vision’s library you’ll be able to have access to 36,000 books.

How to:

•  Simply ask Alexa “Open Blind Low Vision”. Alexa will then guide you through the main menu.
• Alexa will then give a rundown of its services. Audiobooks and reading materials are situated in the library. So to access the library say “Alexa, 4”.
• Alexa will then go through the different types of reading materials. Like newspapers, audiobooks and articles and ask what type of material you’d like to read.
• Then you’d say “Audiobooks” now you’ll have access to 36,000 audiobooks.

P.S

If you say “surprise me” Alexa will randomly assign you a book!
