Amazon Echo "Alexa" For People With Disabilities

[@tammygould8404]

so can it turn on and off your tv?

There is no way for the echo to control your television. You can change channels and even select shows on Netflix.

Hello! I am a journalist for DW television (Germany's international broadcaster) and I was wondering if I could use a clip from this video in a report I'm doing on how smarthome assistive technology can help people with disabilities. I can of course site the Assistive Technology Blog. My deadline is the end of the week (Oct. 27). Thanks!

[@AssistiveTechnologyBlog]

Yes, certainly!

[@amienorion]

Thanks!
