By default, the Amazon Echo can by deliver news reports by request, but is a little limited if you want to hear the latest stories from multiple outlets on specific topics. With News Feed by Audioburst, you can hear snippets of audio from a variety of news outlets through Alexa for a more lively look at the news.
Audioburst’s technological focus is making audio searchable by transcribing it in real time. With News Feed, they’re putting that tech to use by delivering a range of news reports to Alexa on any topic. If you ask about the results of a basketball game, for example, you’ll hear clips of the actual news rather than a simple summary delivered in Alexa’s amiable but robotic voice. You can see a few comparison in the demonstration below:
News Feed is free, and you can enable it on your Alexa devices here on Amazon or in the Alexa app.
