The Verge did a review of the Fire TV from a general perspective. From what
I've read, the Voice Search feature works wonderfully, but there's no
auditory read out of the results i.e. you'll need to know the title of the
movie for which you're looking. Music search is not yet available, but is
rummored to be coming soon.
The Boice Search, for now, is limited to Amazon products i.e. not with Net
Flix, Hulu Plus, etc.
I have yet to see any info about accessibbility features other than Voice
Search.

Subject: Accessibility of the New amazon FireTV Set Top Box?
Hello,
I'm curious if anyone here knows if the new amazon Fire TV set top box has
any voice capability built in? Hoping Amazon incorporated some of the
voice features of the Kindle Fire into this new device.
I love my Apple TV box mainly for it has the Voice Over accessibility
option.
I do have an Amazon Prime account and having the ability to listen to
their massive library of movies/TV shows has my mouth watering. Also
purchase a lot of music on Amazon, so I'm looking forward to accessing my
music library via the use of Amazon's Cloud service through Fire TV.
If anyone can shed more light on the accessibility of Amazon's new Fire TV
box please share. Thanks.
