Expanding possibilities for people with vision loss
The AccessWorld team Congratulates Comcast!
Today, the American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) will recognize Comcast
for breakthroughs in making its technology and programming accessible to
people with vision loss by honoring it with a Helen Keller Achievement
Award. The company made history in 2015 when it launched the industry’s
first voice-guided TV interface—the X1 talking guide—which allows customers
with a visual disability to operate settings and explore programming
independently. Comcast made headlines again later that year with its
video-described broadcast of NBC’s “The Wiz Live!”— the first live
entertainment program to be aired with video description.
In addition, Comcast Cable serves customers with vision loss by making
available braille or large-print billing statements, large-button remotes,
and an Accessibility Support Center that can be contacted seven days a week
(7 a.m. to midnight) by phone, chat, or email. Comcast’s closed captioning
is adjustable by color and font size, and the company also offers online
support videos with American Sign Language for customers with hearing loss.
Comcast Corporation is a global media and technology company with two
primary businesses, Comcast Cable and NBCUniversal. Comcast Cable is one of
the nation's largest video, high-speed Internet, and phone providers to
residential customers under the XFINITY brand and also provides these
services to businesses. NBCUniversal operates news, entertainment and sports
cable networks, the NBC and Telemundo broadcast networks, television
production operations, television station groups, Universal Pictures, and
Universal Parks and Resorts.
Accepting the Award for Comcast will be AFB Trustee Tom Wlodkowski, who is
Vice President of Accessibility for Comcast Cable, and Shanice Williams, the
young star who played Dorothy in The Wiz Live!
In past years, AccessWorld has followed these and other technological
advances of Comcast that have increased access to people with vision loss,
and we look forward to bringing you more information from Comcast in the
future!
Congratulations to Comcast for its leadership in accessibility!
