Hi,
I think most is a little optimistic. Panasonic and Samsung are the only
ones I know of that talk, but there are a lot of TVs about that don't.
All the best

That's very interesting, Mo. I wonder, though, if these are only on the
larger TVs. We had great difficulty finding a small enough one for our needs
when last we changed, so if we looking for speech as well, I think we may
still have problems! What do you think?

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.
