Title: Smart Speakers?
Post by Administrator on Dec 11^th, 2017, 12:54pm

"Talk to your speakers".

The BBC Media Centre, here announces.. that..

"The BBC today launched its first full voice app for voice-controlled smart speakers, an Amazon Alexa skill for Echo devices, with other smart speakers coming in future.

Through a single voice service, the BBC can provide easy access to all of its live radio and on-demand podcast content across the BBC. The BBC will also launch brand new voice experiences exclusively for smart speakers through the service in future."

"Alexa-Please switch to Radio 2 while the BBC1HD test card is showing at the end of the News"
