Hi everyone! Thanks for hunting us! My name is Assaf, I'm the VP marketing at Audioburst, the company who created News Feed. At Audioburst we develop technologies and products that transcribes and understands the meaning of auditory content in real-time. Or the short version - we make audio searchable. News Feed for Alexa is the first product we release ('Google home' coming soon). We'd love to get your thoughts and feedback! And of course I'm here to answer any question you may have. Thanks so much
Super cool. Thanks guys for making this
Maker
Thank you!
Agree. Fascinating product.
Interesting! What's the difference between "New Feed" and the regular flash briefing?
Maker
Thanks Dani! News Feed collects news from multiple sources and provide it in real human voice as it was broadcasted in the radio. You can ask for news updated on any topic that you like and News Feed will bring you the most updated pieces
Sounds really interesting! Question: Where are the bursts coming from? and is it possible to find local news or only national ?
Maker
Thanks Dima! Both local and national news are covered. Everyday, AudioBurst indexes thousands of minutes of audio from the radio, podcasts, video and other spoken-word media in real- time to make it accessible by our platform
News is like one of the best ways to use Alexa, definitely trying this out.
Maker
Thanks! Hope you will like it, like ewe do :)
Looks good! One of the things that I didn't like about using the Google home is the bad experience when listening to news. I wish I had something like this skill. Keep the hard work!
This is refreshing. Will try it out on my Alexa. Indexing audio files can be challenging - are you using any voice recognition technologies to make the search engine reliable?
Maker
Thanks Tommy! We are using a propriety ASR engine for the audio segmentation that is dedicated for this task
Waited a long time for something like this. Love it!
Maker
Thank you so much!
Cool product. I don't know if it was just me, but the audio level was very low compared to my other news sources (NPR, CNN, etc.). Worked really well!
Maker
Thanks Chip! We will look into the volume issue. Hope that you are enjoying News Feed.
Same. Extremely quiet
Spoil your Alexa a little
