For most TNs, 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 <<Name of Talking Newspaper>>
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.
