Dot to dot. A new skill every day. In five minutes. Hey guys, today we are going to revisit a skill called Audible Clock that has been updated with some new clocks and it has some premium clocks too.
Now what is Audible Clock? Well, it just turns your Echo into a clock and there are loads to choose from and if you're like me you have a number of spare, in particular Gen 1 and 2 Echo Dots I recommend that you just use one as a dedicated Audible Clock and turn the microphone button off and then just leave it running. I think that's a brilliant idea because this will be interrupted by anything else that you do on your Echo that streams audio anyway. So let's give it a go.
Hello Alexa, open Audible Clock. Tick tock, the time is 8.29am. To start an Audible Clock, just tell me the name of the clock you want to use. Say something like cat clock, cuckoo clock, or say what clocks do you have?
Now, tell me, what would you like? What clocks do you have? I have traditional, grandfather, talking, animal, and special clocks. Which type do you want to hear about?
Traditional, grandfather, talking, animal, or special? Special. Okay, my special clocks include holiday clock, a clock that changes for each season. On the first day of Christmas, my true listen to me.
Train clock. And hickory dickory dock. Hickory dickory dock. To start a clock, just say its name.
You can also say, more, to hear more special clocks. More. The final few special clocks are, guitar clock. Stock market clock.
A talking clock that gives you a brief stock market update during market hours. And elevator clock. Wear a simple. Announces each hour.
To start a clock, just say its name. Westminster chime. Would you like Westminster clock to chime every quarter hour, half hour, or hour? Quarter.
Okay, starting Westminster clock. The first chime is due to sound in about 10 minutes. And now we've got the ticking. I don't know if you can hear that.
So, there you go. Loads of clocks to choose from. If we went for a premium clock, like the holiday clock, the Christmas clock, for example, then it would be 80 pence a week, you know, a month, thereafter, seven days free to try all the clocks, but then you do automatically get charged, unless you cancel before then. So, there you go.
80p a month for a bunch of clocks. So, I would just pick one that you like from loads of clocks, and then stick with it, and use that dot, and then mute it, and you're good to go. Brilliant, guys. Enjoy Audible Clock.
I love this one. Thanks a lot. See you again tomorrow. Feedback, comments, demos.
