Hi Saqib,
Below is a list of TV's that are supposed to have the voice guide in them,
however you need to make sure when you look up a particular range on the
Samsung site, which size you are actually looking at. Even if you look up a
40 inch model via something like Google, when you arrive on the Samsung
site, you are automatically on the largest version of the model. You then
have to go down the page and look for the size variations, and select the
one you are interested in. Then you go down to specifications, then more
specifications, and finally accessibility, and if it says something like,
voice guide in 17 countries, then you are in luck.
Quick example, the tv I bought is the Samsung UE49KU6400. the 49 in the
model refers to the screen size. It also comes in 40, 43, 55 and 65
inches, however the 40 inch model is the only one that does not have the
voice guide.
Finally, the below list was sent to me after I had already purchased my new
telly, and I do not know the sizes in the other series' that have the voice
guide. There may be others available that I do not have in the list, but
this will get anyone interested started.
KU6000, KU6020, KU6100, KU6400, KU6450, KU6470, KU6500, KU6510,
KU6640, KU6650, KU6670, KU6680, KS7000, KS7500, KS8000, KS9000, KS9500,
KS9800.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
Jim.

Hi Saqib
This is exactly what I am in the process of finding out. Jim gave me some
invaluable pointers over the weekend, so I have started to take more
interest given the amount of accessibility there is in these sets now.
Kind regards,

Hi. How would one identify whether a Samsung model has speech voice
guidance?

Hi Jim,
Thank you very much Jim for this information. Could I just ask another question ? is it just freview or can you use sky as well. I am hoping to go in to curries soon to see if they will let me have a look at it that’s of course they have it in stock. It is a new model so surely they would have it. Also I am waiting to see if anyone else has any suggestions before I make up my mind.
O yes and when you say it speaks to you, is it as good as theTvonics was? does it tell you what channel you are on and so forth?

Hi Sandra,
I just got rid of my Panasonic talking tv, in favour of a new Samsung model. I have to say, I'm very impressed with all that the Samsung speaks, and now including a bunch of 3rd party aps, including Netflix. Although that now speaks, I haven't found out how to activate the audio description on the site through the telly. The newer Panasonic tv's are less accessible than the original 2012 model I just got rid of. The model I got was the Samsung UE49KU6400, and as I said, everything speaks, all the menues, settings, tv guide, sources, and even when I record direct from the telly onto an external hard drive, all is read out. Lastly, I stuck a bunch of movies from my pc onto the drive, plugged it into the telly, and I was informed that the drive had been connected, and if I would like to browse the files, and it read the names of all the movies, very cool.
Billy from Scotland, who is on this list, might still have a list of the other Samsung models that have the voice guide feature, that he could share, as sadly I can't seem to find it at the moment.
Regards.
Jim.

Hi All,
My Samsung TV has died of death now. Does anyone know of an accessible or fairly accessible TV. I have heard of the Panasonic but not sure if they are in use any more. Has anyone got any ideas for a good TV??
Thank you.
