TRANSCRIPT · AUTO-GENERATED

Yacht to Dot, with 85 minutes skill to know show. For everyone who's simply dotting about Alexa. Hey guys, we're on here today, we're looking at a skill called In Your Area. And it looks really good, you have to give it permission to access your location, it'll send a little notification to your app, and then it gives you news from various publications in your local area.

So we could just open it with In Your Area, that's the name of the skill, but then it'll just ask us to ask for local news, so we might as well just add it on the end anyway. Alexa, ask In Your Area for local news. This is your local news from In Your Area. In Warwick, from levingtonobserver.co.uk, young tennis players celebrate Ginny Hill Award recognising fundraising efforts.

From birminghammail.co.uk, three Worcestershire areas have rated more than one in 200 people infected with coronavirus. From coventrytelegraph.net, two areas of Warwickshire have COVID-19 rates almost at 500. From levingtoncourier.co.uk, two crashes near Warwick in Levington are causing delays in the area. To hear more news from your area, visiting yourarea.co.uk.

Okay, I've got no idea how up-to-date they are. I'm assuming that they are, and I don't know why I just picked those out, because obviously there's more stuff going on on the local newspaper websites than just those headlines, so I don't know how it works, but anyway, it could be really useful just to get a snapshot of what's going on in your area. Thanks, guys. Speak in tomorrow.
