Hi Saqib
Yes, that's what I am thinking too. My TVonics still works, but a television
that speaks everything is better than a television that speaks nothing! I wish
they were slightly smaller, especially as neither of us have the sight to watch
it. But I am going to Scotland next month, and will drop into John Lewis there
since they have lots of Samsung TVs. Their staff are normally extremely
helpful in demonstrating equipment, so I want to get some hands-on if I can.
Jim Cosgrove on this list has been extremely helpful to me in explaining what
his Samsung does, and I am very impressed. The confusion is that not all sets
in the 600 series have Voice Guide, so you do need to be careful.
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

Thanks Jacky. My Tvonyx box died last summer and I need an accessible
replacement and I don’t mind shelling out for a new telly as it’s an all in one
solution without the extra equipment and cables.

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.
