Re: Two XB1 accessibility features unveiled
@ianhamilton_
Thanks for spreading the word, it's good to know that Microsoft are finally making what I would consider to be moves they could've started on a long time ago.
Although you're probably right that this will only cover the rudimentary functions at first, something tells me they'll expand it even beyond the reach of Sony's device, given the right support and encouragement.
To put this in to some context:
I contacted Microsoft a while ago via the
Microsoft Xbox access email address
to suggest a screen reader be implemented if it hadn't already been discussed. I also suggested a couple of other features that currently escape me.
I got a response very quickly (within a day or so if I remember correctly), with the reply implying that they were looking into it and asking further questions about what I would want to see from such a system. I respon ded with as much information as I could think of to at least get things going if they decided to create this additional accessibility method for the system and left it at that.
It's good to know that the hard work and dedication of individuals in this community must've paid off somewhere, I don't like to think that it's just the laws that have pushed Microsoft to do this. I mentioned to them in my email that Sony had added an element to their system that would sway more blind people to purchase PS4's, so they should try and make some sort of competition at least to give everybody a choice.
Seems like they've done it and hopefully we get to see some clarification as to how far this thing will go.
