In this demo, just thought I would share a setup that I use when demoing these smart speakers at workshops etc without having to hunt for power points or connect to WiFi networks.

Hope you find it useful.

In this demo, I take you through the use of my very manual and physical button based key lock safe that I use to secure my keys for cleaners and others coming to my house.

I thought it was a nice manual practical solution on giving people access to keys, access cards etc and didn't involve Bluetooth, HomeKit or any other smart type environment: it just works.

As I explain in the demo, its like an over sized padlock with a physical keypad with a storage compartment inside, and a hasp that you use to attach it to something like a gate, fence, tap, door etc.

Cost was about $66 Australian and I purchased it at Bunnings Warehouse.

Yes, Wind Chimes skill for your Amazon Echo when you don't have an actual one available smile.

A go through of the very fun to play Ear Hockey game for Windows 10, self voicing, and free from the Microsoft online Store.

In this demo using the Narrator Online User guide, I demo navigating by list of links, headings or Land Marks.  Demo the Table reading mode and the Narrator Find command.  Run through how to change and navigate  the Narrator reading view, and summary comment on bringing web links etc, scan mode, Narrator Find, Table reading, and reading views all together.

When you are listening to Audible audio books on your Amazon Echo, Alexa now lets you adjust the REading Speed by saying Alexa:

Read Faster (up to max 150 percent),

Read Slower (down to 75 percent) or

Read at Normal Speed (back to 100 percent).

Finally we have at least some control of Auidble audio books speed as we do on the Iphone, not as fast, but certainlyh better than nothing.

Now I can really enjoy my Amazon Echo with my Audible books the way I like to listen to them.

In this demo, I run through Scan Mode toggled via Narrator+Space, Narrator Views (changed with Narrator+Up/Down Arrows and navigate via Left/Right Arrows), and using Narrator gestures with the touch screen.

In this demo, I use Notepad to demo the various Narrator navigating commands for previous, current and Next Character, Word, Line, Sentence, Paragraph, and Page.

I also demo continuous reading and show with the FN key it allows the cursor keys to be Home, End, Page UP, and Page Down.

In this demo, I take you through the Typing Echo and Keyboard settings in Narrator settings access via Control+Windows+N.

Also do a bit of a demo showing how my typing settings sound by launching and typing in to Notepad.

In this demo, I look at the startup options for Narrator within Narrator Settings accessed by Control+Windows+N, and go through the Narrator Home screen which is ahndy for beginer Narrator users.

Note - keep in mind that this and other demos is based upon the Windows Insider build of Windows 10 and is mostly what you can expect when the next version of Windows 10 is officially released.
