Hi well this does help. If you are up to it or can do it I for one and I am Shure others would be really interested in seeing these things in action. As I said right now I am trying to save money since consuls are expensive but it would be nice to see things like x box and ps 5 blue ray players in action to see what the screen readers will or will not read. If you could do a demonstration or something that would be helpful if you are able to. I have looked for these kinds of vidiows on places like youtube but have not found that many most of the vidiows I have found have the people deminstrateing the screen reader but they will also talk over what the screen reader is saying. It would be nice to find some sort of demonstration where it lets the screen reader read it’s stuff and then go on to the next thing with out talking over it. For instince it will go through the menues let the screen reader talk and then go on to the next idem. I have yet to find a video like that. From Mich.

Hi Mich, Sorry for the delay in getting back with you on this. I meant to email you and the list a few days ago. I did try the PS 5’s blueray player and while it is workable, the workflow is anything but friendly in my opinion. Also, I haven’t yet figured out how to switch audio tracks for something like audio descriptions. The actual blueray menu for the disc is not read by the PS 5 screen reader but you can play a disc and move through tracks etc. I will be doing a bit more with this this week and also comparing it with the player on the XBox X to see which one is more accessible. I also want to try a few other discs so I have more to share. I hope this helps for now. Sorry I don’t have better news as yet. Have a great evening and will get back with you and the list again soon when I have more to share. Cheers!
