Hi to all

Thanks for the info you've sent. I'll be looking into this over the next couple of weeks. I don't want a big TV, 40" is a bout right but I'd love one that has two cards so you could record from one and watch the other.

Any more info on models etc would be much appreciated.

Hi Martin.

Most TV's have talking menus on now I think from the major manufacturers. We recently bought a samsung TV and it has talking EPG, menus, channel listing in realtime etc. similar to the TVOnics really. it tells you verbally when something isn't going to be read out if you click on the option. I'd advise you to pop in to currys or a local TV shop with someone sighted if possible, and get them to flick through the menus to look for an option called voice guide /accessibility. its normally in the main menu or in system. failing that, choose a TV you like the sound of, then download the manual for it. that's what I did with mine and if it lists accessibility and tells you what it may read out, then that could be a great help. I've been quite impressed by samsung equipment of late, they're making quite an effort for the VI market.

cheers,

Mo.

Hi folks

I'm due for a new TV and wondered if anyone knows if there is any out there with accessible talking menues for setup and operation. I'm sure I heard a while ago that panasonic were making one that was fully talking similar to the TVonics box, I need a smart TV for internet channels. Any info, blogs etc for me to look into will be much appreciated.
