Just a guess but I think Talk Back in this instance is just a description, the same as saying Voice Feedback. Your attitude to the Television is much the same as mine was when I bought my first Samsung set in 2011 for the small sum of $200. I still have that 19 inch set which will be moved into the Den at a later time. There’s nothing special about this Television apart from the fact that it still works after 7 years without a hitch. The Television has no special connectivity, has 1 HDMI socket, a Digital out and a whole heap of RCA sockets that are to do with video in and video out though I’ve never bothered about them having no need. I like the fact that I can turn on the Television and just switch to whatever channel I fancy watching so if the Television did come with some sort of extra accessibility built-in? Well yes that would have ben a huge boom. Actually the Television did come with an accessibility function I hadn’t counted on, Braille lettering next to certain controls on the remote - c for channel up/down, v for volume up/down and p for the power button. - The Sony Android offering I have in my lounge is a real boom but not for everyone. I have to accept that I’m a power tech user and that’s probably why I really like the Sony as - running the Android operating system - all sorts of possibilities are at my fingertips -. I do appreciate that people wouldn’t be too interested in an Android Television so that brings us back to your set and my Samsung 2011 19-inch Television.
