TNET: Get the latest TigerNet news on any Alexa enabled device
Nov 17, 2017, 11:52 AM
|
|
The TigerNet Alexa skill is now available through any Alexa enabled device, such as Amazon Echo! If you are not familiar with Amazon Echo / Alexa, check it out in the links below.
"Amazon Echo is a hands-free, voice-controlled device that uses Alexa to play music, control smart home devices, make calls, send and receive messages, provide information, read the news, set alarms, read audio books from Audible, control Amazon Video on Fire TV, and more."
If you have an Echo, just say "Alexa, enable TigerNet" to enable our new skill. So far it can only read you the latest headline, but we are working on more features and if there is enough interest there is no end to what we could add.
If you have trouble enabling the skill verbally, you can add it through the Alexa mobile app, available on iOS or Android.
To check the latest headline just say "Alexa, ask TigerNet for the latest news"
Thanks for trying it out and give us your feedback and suggestions in the thread. Also, thanks very much for supporting us by using our Amazon links!

B-Meist®, I wasn't able to activate the skill verbally but did find and enable it in the app.
Great idea!

Let us know your suggestions for the next features. I was thinking to allow you to specify a sport and optional number of headlines.
Alexa, ask TigerNet for the latest 3 Recruiting headlines
I will also get it to read the teaser for stories.
