NCBI are delighted to announce that Sky Q boxes will soon receive an update
which will greatly enhance its accessibility features allowing people with
Visual Impairments greater access and control of their Sky Box.
* High Contrast Mode
* Voice Guidance
High Contrast Mode
A high Contrast mode can be selected which will make on screen menus and
displays easier to read.
Voice Guidance
Voice Guidance is an internal Screen Reader which can be activated from the
Sky Q menu or working in tandem with Sky Q's Voice Control and existing
accessibility features, Voice Guidance will make Sky Q even more accessible.
To start using it, simply say "Voice Guidance on" or "Voice Guidance Off"
into your Sky Q Remote.
Once activated all menus and Electronic Program Guides (EPGs) will be read
aloud by the screen reader allowing independent use of the Sky Q for people
with Visual Impairments.
Kyran O'Mahoney NCBI's Chief Technology Officer (CTO) said: "Sky's continued
focus on accessibility is massively welcome. The new Voice Guidance feature
will make a real difference for users. Being able to access and browse
content without the help of others is a huge step forward."
These updates will begin to roll out to customers from Wednesday 31st March
and will be available to all customers by the end of April.
