New Drivers Review Questions With Online
Digital Assistant
Today, Stoel Rives LLP and the Utah Technology Council announced
that Utah.Gov has been recognized with a Utah Innovation Award for
its Amazon Echo Alexa Skill. Utah.Gov was selected as an Honorable
Mention award winner in the Consumer Software category.
“We are very proud of the recognition this service is
receiving,” said Mike Hussey, Utah Chief Information Officer. “We
strive to provide valuable award-winning services to the residents
of Utah, and being recognized by our peers in the state is
wonderful.”
The annual Utah Innovation Awards highlight cutting-edge and
innovative work being done in Utah and the creative minds behind
it. The Utah.Gov Alexa Skill helps Utah drivers study for the
driving exam by reviewing questions. In addition, Utah.gov also
added a Utah State Facts skill for the Echo. Alexa will share
interesting facts about the beehive state.
“We are excited for the possibilities new technologies like
digitial assistants create,” said Hussey. “When we see the success
applications like the Alexa Skill achieve, it helps us see new ways
to interact with state government.”
Nominees in the Utah Innovation Awards program undergo a strict
evaluation process by their peers and leaders from Utah’s business
and academic communities. This process is unlike any other used by
other programs in the state and results in awards that reflect the
esteem of leaders within the individual innovation areas.
Utahns can load the skill to the Alexa App on a mobile
device.
