Hi there it really astounds me why totally blind persons who cannot see the screen do not test these things. the only way for things to get better like the sky talker is to let blind people test the products out. I agree with Will again like this so called awareness training the same always happens. anyway look forward to seing this thing though yesterday sky told me it was £45 and is great but no offence this is from a sighted person's point of view.

I missed a rather important point. Sorry don't know how I edited it out. You can use the search and scan banner and find out what's on up to twelve hours in the future. I think you will be able to hit record on top of the programme so that it gets recorded and added to your sky planner. Of course, the slight issue is you can't then read your sky planner and watch it back. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Damon Rose Sent: 24 September 2010 14:28 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Sky Talker: much more info Sky Talker comes out on 26 October. Price is 60 pounds. The box looks like a Sky Broadband router. It's black. It has a volume up and down switch for the voice on its top. There are 9 available voices male and female. You can adjust their tone and speed. You can't access the EPG or any of the menus, it only works from within the channel you're watching. It'll say what channel and what programme is on now on the channel you've selected. The play, record, rewind and pause buttons all speak. You will get a warning every 60 seconds if you leave it on pause so you know what's happening. You can press the remote's 'I' info button for a programme synopsis. it also speaks channel numbers.
