No idea. She didn't tell me that, and I don't want another bit of junk mail cluttering my in box, so I wasn't really interested.

I rang Sky today and they have not heard of it! Obviously not ready for release if the disabilities departement have not been told of it, I would imagine. Cheers, Mark Threadgold Of all the things I have ever lost, The one I miss most is my mind... _____ From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Francis Holman Sent: 07 January 2010 16:28 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] info re sky Hi Thought some of you may be interested in this info that I received from offcom. Dear Francis Thank you for your email. We contacted Sky and it passed on the following information to us: “We are in the final stages of development of a product currently called the Sky Talker. We hope to be able to launch this product in April 2010. It has been developed in conjunction with the RNIB and translates some of the text on screen to audio which is obviously of great assistance to visually impaired customers. We would hope to be able to issue a press release raising awareness of the imminent launch later this month and as said earlier have the actual product in market in April 2010. We will also be briefing our internal customer service teams on this so that they are able to directly respond to customer queries such as this. This product would help with Sky+ navigation. It is very much the start of our development in this area. We hope to be able to share detailed product information shortly” We hope this information is of use.
