Hi Chris,
Could you tell us which of your devices offers the best accessibility and
has the most audio description content?
Thanks
Jo

Hello everyone, my name is Chris, and since last June, my whole family has
been part of the cord cutter trend.
Presently, I personally have a few Apple TVs connected to various rooms in
my upstairs area, One of which is connected to a complete surroundsound
Sonos home theater system. I also have an AT&T TV android box, and also a
Toshiba Amazon fire TV. (Not the Amazon fire stick, I'm talking about the
actual television itself).
I do have a Roku, although it isn't hooked up, and frankly has just been
sitting in a drawer for the last, God knows how long. I would gladly send it
to someone who could use it, if I could find the darn thing, but I don't
even think it works anymore. Even if it did, I find the text to speech voice
in the thing to be absolutely dreadful! Not to mention, at least with the
version of Roku I have, the built-in accessibility leaves a lot to be
desired. It would be almost the equivalent of using narrator on windows XP
back in the days. It's horrible! Again though, this is just my opinion. So
take it with a grain of salt. I do use a lot of the services like YouTube,
Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Sero's described video content, etc. I do often rent
movies as well as purchase content from the iTunes store, and I also
sometimes will do the same with Google movies and TV. I own both an iPhone
12 pro max, as well as an android pixel three XL.
I also have an iPad mini fifth generation. not the most up-to-date by any
means, I know, but it definitely does what I need to do.
Finally, I am both an advanced Windows user both with nvda, and also am Jaws
certified. finally, I also do you have a 2020 13 inch Mac book air.
I'm glad to be a part of this list, and look forward to learning a lot from
all of you.
Have a fantastic rest of your day.
Chris.
