Make life easy by using your voice to access the internet and hear the answers aloud.
Join our eight-week program to receive an Amazon Echo Dot smart speaker at no cost. We will provide support for you to install the speaker, which will enable you to access the internet by using your voice, and hear the answers read aloud.
Ask questions, hear the news, listen to your favourite radio station and cook along with voice guided recipes. Research your favourite topics, set alarms and connect with Vision Australia. Call family and friends who have compatible devices, and so much more, all using only your voice!
Your virtual eight-week program includes:
- Weekly one hour group sessions, where you will share tips and tricks with peers, and learn about all the ways the smart speaker can enhance your life and make daily tasks easier.
- Up to six hours of specialised support training tailored to your needs.
Vision Australia client, Rosa aged 96, shares how the smart speaker and program helped to make her life easier:
"This is a great way that I can access the marvellous world of information on the internet. I can’t use a computer so this is great. [Thank you for helping] us all to improve our independence and general quality of life, including access to information - thank you!”
