TRANSCRIPT · AUTO-GENERATED

And you scale every day in five minutes. Hey guys, on the third December it was International Day of People with Disabilities, and many organizations put out information about accessibility of their products. For example, complete overhauled, their accessibility section, which gives you lots of information about their devices. That's apple.com, slash accessibility.

And Amazon did too. They have put out an accessibility hub for the ALAD, and it's really, really good. You can go to Amazon.co.uk, for example, slash ALEXA accessibility, all one word. And you'll see a lot of information there about the different devices.

You can also say to the ALAD, what are your accessibility features? I have many accessibility features to help people be more connected and entertained and independent. For example, you can ask me to speak slower or faster. You can tell me to create a shopping list, and access it on any device via the app or the Amazon app.

I can also set up routine for you. I have a request to be featured on the website, which is a screen, such as Tat-to-Alexa, show and tell them more. To learn about them, visit Amazon.co.uk, slash Alexa accessibility. Okay, there you go.

I know where to play part of the ALAD work when she says it, because I'm pretty sure that she went through herself. I'll do it anyway. So, I'm not sure about whether anything's in a shopping list or routines. You can automate a lot of things, and if you have challenges in that area, you know, particularly when it comes to connecting with some other things, that can be really, really empowering.

So, yeah, absolutely. But please be going to the hub. You may not be aware that you don't need to be able to speak, for example. To use the ALAD, you don't need to be able to hear.

To use the ALAD, there are loads of accessibility options, particularly in the ones with screens. It shows 5, 8 and 10 inch. And there is also a video that Amazon put out to promote the new hub, which is of low me, and I'll put a link to that in the show notes as well. They tweeted it, which is the link hub.

And that's about it really, just to say that accessibility is massive. And all of us, our different shapes and sizes are using our devices in different ways. I would strongly recommend having a play in the accessibility settings on whatever device you've got in your hand, or you're using it anytime, so that you can optimize it for yourself. I don't think any of us should just settle with another out of box experience, because we're all different.

And those accessibility settings are incredibly powerful. Really, guys? So, we can tomorrow. Feedback comments to most.
