Yeah and blind people watching TV is so unusual for them that is cute so you
just have to sit them down and talk to them like children explaining all about
audio voice notifications on menus

Thanks Gerry and Tim. I had to smile when I read your response Tim. My own
experience whenever I raise the subject of accessibility in any outlet, be it
phone, electrical or otherwise; is surprise at a question they have never
heard before, followed by curiosity, and - asuming that they or I have the
time to discuss the subject further - fascination.

Assuming, of course, the people in these shops know how to use the
accessibility features!

Hi The best way to test out all of these different products and their
accessibility is to going to any of the curries or other shops which Stockton
and get someone to show you how they work noting that also any hard drives
with you attached to these TVs will not have the spoken capabilities which
are built into the TV as it doesn’t extend to do use items on this things
have changed recently

Hi all.
I’m currently looking for a new television and have been googling to check
on the general state of accessibility for blind/vision impaired people.
Anyone out there like to share their knowledge or experience.
I note that the RNIB supports a range of Panasonic products but I’m not
sure if they will work over here. Also, Philips claim that their 2017 models
have particular accessibility features.
So far, given the current state of accessibility here in Ireland, I can’t
really see the point of investing in a smart television and I don’t think
that Apple Tv is available here. However, I’ve still got a pretty open mind
and am open to correction.
Thanks in advance
Paul
