"I recently set up an Amazon Echo device which runs the Alexa voice recognition service for a women who had just come out of hospital and was struggling to walk. She wanted to listen to the radio but was unable to get up to turn it on. With Alexa she can now talk to it from across the room and turn Radio 4 on. But, even better, she can use Alexa for listening to the weather forecast, her favorite book or music, the news (including her local talking news) and a myriad of other useful services".
