To get started, just say "Alexa, open sheffield talking news". You should hear an option to hear the introduction for new users.
Saying "help" should offer you the option of listening to the introduction again, then the option to change speed, then the option to hear the TN contact details.
If you choose the "play faster" option, then audio playback of the recording should be 50% faster until your preference is changed again. Note: If you have started listening to a track and then select "play faster", it will start again from the beginning of that same track.
Once playback has started, only next, previous, repeat, exit, stop or cancel will be recognised.
Saying "repeat" during playback should rewind the track 30 seconds.
Invoking the skill again by saying "Alexa, open sheffield talking news" should offer the option to resume the current edition. Saying "resume" will continue playback, and saying "start over" should always play the first track of the latest edition.You can also dial in and listen to this service over the telephone by calling: 0114 383 0345 Download recordings, get notified of new editions and subscribe to our podcast at https://listen.talking-news.info/sheffield.
