Hi Saqib.
I don't have specific models I could name of the top of my head, however Sony
are reputed to be Android tv's and I believe there are some Samsung models
which can use Talkback instead of the voice guide feature that comes as
standard with most of their latest models. You'd best contact a dealer or the
manufacturers themselves to establish what tv's support the features you need.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi Ibrahim, thanks for your reply and could you point me to any manufacturers
who are making their television sets accessible as I’m looking for an android
TV that is fully accessible with Talkback

Hi Saqib.
It depends on what the manufacturer means by Android TV. Android TV is a
branding certification to show that the TV is compatible with the Android TV
streaming platform and has Chromecast integration, Google Assistant etc.
Your TV is probably running a forked version of Android OS which can be
customised by the manufacturer. I've never heard of JVC TV's being
accessible so I doubt whether your TV has accessibility features over and
above what is offered by Freeview such as Audio Descriptions, Subtitles etc
though there may be some display customisation options as well.
Good luck but if you want an accessible Android TV experience then you should
look to Sony or Panasonic or Samsung.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi, Could someone tell me if all Android TVs have TalkBack or does it depend
on the respective manufacturer as we have a JVC 50in model and TalkBack is no
where to be seen in the settings menu and there is no accessibility menu
either. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:-
