Hi Chris I had a quick look at a prototype they were displaying at Techshare. It would appear this is going to be a mainstream effort that comes either in PC format, or a Freeview box. I have no idea how much or when it will be available, but RNIB are involved. Kind regards, J Jackie Cairns cairnsplace@xxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Chris Hallsworth Sent: 18 November 2009 20:36 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] New Freeview box that speaks Hello all, Does anyone have in-sight information about this new Freeview box coming out I think next year? Apparently it uses text-to-speech to speak the Electronic Program Guide and the menus, for example, so that one can enable audio description.
