That site didn?t work.  I got a loud male voice telling me the page was not
available, and to press the red button for back and the blue button for
home.  I pressed home, and it seemed to be about Netgem, plus links to
things like RNIB services.  As Netgem doesn?t make the talking Freeview box
any more, I am not sure how helpful this site would be.

Hi

For alternatives check out:

Hopefully competition will force down prices in the not too distant future.

My only comment, and please feel free to jump on me if you want folks
(though not literally) (smile), is that it's a rip-off for £620 or whatever
it costs.  I know it speaks, but £620 for that?  Phew!

 

I loved their Talking Teletext unit when I had mine, but that was when there
wasn't so much information available elsewhere.  Certain Freeview boxes,
while they don't provide speech navigation, do offer Audio Description, and
there are also lots of DAISY players on the market to tap into.  I just
think it's well OTT.

Hi list.

 

I've been reading about the Portset Accessible Freeview Receiver and I'm
quite interested in it.  I'm wondering if anyone on this list has one, or
knows anything about them.  I've listened to the audio demo on the Portset
website and it seems very accessible.

 

Any feedback would be grate as I'd love to have an accessible freeview
receiver.

 

Sue.
