Google Home theocratic actions?

[Tegra]

Hello, I have heard that some have created some “shortcuts” for Amazon Echo that will do things such as play the daily text, weekly Bible reading, and music from jw.org.

 

Is there anything for Google Home that anyone wished to share?

 

It seems like these devices would be great for some of the older ones who have trouble navigating a computer/tablet.

Tom, we use Alexa at our house and I literally just gave my Mom four new "skills" to use with Alexa.  I put each statement she needed on an individual index card so that she could do the daily text, bible reading, read a particular scripture, and learn facts from the bible.  It is awesome to use and easy for her to take care of those things through the day when she is alone by herself.  I would imagine that Google would have something very similar.

Since Alexa will read the daily text and read scriptures, do you think she will ever desire to have her own Bible Study?

When it reads the daily text or scriptures, is it doing so by means of text-to-speech in Alexa's voice, or is playing the audio recording?

Hi brother's,

 

Thought I would give this a nudge.  Does anyone know of a Google home version of JW Access?  I've tried to do some searching but haven't been able to find anything.  I'm actually tempted to buy a echo just to get this functionality.  Hopefully there's something that can be done on Google home to give the same access.

 

Thanks

It is Alexa's voice.
