Hi Janet.
You don’t need sighted assistance to set up the echo, however you do need to be
familiar with iOS or Android operating systems or have someone willing to set
up the Echo for you if you are not. The Alexa app is definitely usable and the
instructions provided by both app and speaker are clear and easy to follow.
All the best, Ibrahim.

this may be a stupid question but is there a guide as to how to set the echo up
in the first place and how to connect it with your iPhone or is it better to
have sighted assistance. Janet

Hi Alison.
Yes, most of the skills are free, however some require you to have
functionality from websites in order to work. For instance, if you want to use
JustEat to order your favourite takeaway, you obviously have to have a JustEat
account and to have placed an order before to enable this functionality. There
are other skills which enable you to order cabs, check airfare prices and
flight status etc. etc. as well as the fun and novelty ones as previously
mentioned.
All the best, Ibrahim.
