It is indeed. Other than the devices that you plug into TV's, Amazon,
Google and Apple for example, this is now the most accessible TV service.
I look forward to the day when the third party apps on the box become
accessible, but third party accessibility is spotty even on the Amazon,
Google and Apple devices.
All the best

Thank you for this Steve.
I have just checked.
I also have it.
First impression is that it is a big step forward.

Subject: [access-uk] Announcement: Voice Guidance Is Here on Sky Q!
Hi all,
I am really excited to announce that speech is coming to SkyQ. The update
roll out starts today, and it is expected that most should have it by the
end of April.
See this news article from Tech Radar:-
https://www.techradar.com/uk/news/sky-q-is-getting-a-voice-guidance-option-i
n-addition-to-dark-mode-accessibility-features
So in the coming weeks, try pressing the voice button on your remote and
saying to your Sky Q box: "Voice Guidance On".
I have it already, and it is pretty darned good. Not all screens are
supported, but the major ones are, such as recordings, top picks, etc. Where
screens are not supported, you are informed with a message that Voice
Guidance Is Not Available.
I would say that other TV providers like VirginMedia have some way to go now
to catch up with this one.
Enjoy!
All the best
Steve
