Got an Alexa device? You can stream us and listen to our station and podcasts while you’re getting dinner ready in the kitchen. Simply say, ‘Alexa, enable 92.1 WROU Dayton’s R&B Leader Skill…’ It’s a whole new way to listen to 92.1 WROU in 2018.
WHAT IS AN ALEXA SKILL?
+ Amazon’s voice service is called Alexa. Much like your phone has an “app”, your Amazon devices (Echo, Echo Dot, Echo Tap, Echo Show, etc) have skills. Users interact with their Alexa enabled device via skills.
+ Skills can be “default” – meaning they come pre-enabled on your Alexa device, or they can be “custom”. Custom skills are searchable in the Alexa Skills Store and offer a more robust feature set.
ARE CUSTOM ALEXA SKILLS FREE FOR ALEXA USERS?
+ Yes, custom Alexa skills are free for users to enable and interact with on their Alexa-enabled devices.
HOW DO I ENABLE THE CUSTOM ALEXA SKILL FOR 92.1 WROU?
To enable, you have three ways to enable the 92.1 WROU skill:
+ Search Amazon.com/skills for 92.1 WROU Dayton’s R&B Leader Skills & enable
+ Open the Alexa companion app on your mobile device, search for the 92.1 WROU Dayton’s R&B Leader skill & click enable.
+ Say “Alexa, enable 92.1 WROU Dayton’s R&B Leader skill”
ONCE MY SKILL IS ENABLED, HOW DO I USE IT?
+ Simply say “Alexa, launch 92.1 WROU”
+ If you say “Alexa, play 92.1 WROU Dayton’s R&B Leader”, you will likely open the TuneIn skill. If you want 92.1 WROU skill to open, giving you access to the live stream and more, make sure to say “Alexa, launch 92.1 WROU”.
+ Skills have sets of features/abilities that you can access simply by asking. Until you are familiar with a skill’s abilities, use Help or Options voice commands to hear what a skill can do. When you know what features are available, ask for your specific course of action.
