Thanks Mary, Yah I just want to be able to access menus and movie category and individual movies. So, in addition to my I-pad mini and HTMI cable to connect to my dumb TV, I need two other items to get, right? The TV fire stick and the Voice View screen reader. And I take it that Amazon sells everything I need?
I'll check it all out and let you know how things are going. Thanks again, John Chilelli -----Original Message----- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Mary Otten Sent: Wednesday, June 28, 2017 8:09 AM To: PC Audio Discussion List <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Subject: RE: Fire TV Stick with Voice Remote Hi John, Yes, with the fire tv stick, you can access netflix and see categories of movies, go through lists etc. When I first got the tv stick, sign in was not accessible. Now it is, according to other blind people; since I got sighted help for my initial sign in, I haven't had to do that again, so I can personally verify it. My set up is wifi. I honestly don't remember how difficult it was to do that sign in, because it was several months ago, and I've gone through a lot of stuff in my personal life since then. Now the fire stick has alexa as well as the voiceview screen reader. I don't use the alexa much, but it is there. I also can't speak to Pandora accessibility, since I don't use that service. But netflix is good, better than on the apple tv, because it is better at announcing the category or row of movie listings you are in. Mary
