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.

Subject: Re: [blind-gamers] question to those who might have or know of the PS 
5 Disk Eddition. does the screen reader support extend to the playing of blue 
ray disks?

 

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!

 

Cara

Hi all I was just wondering I know that the ps 5 disk edition consul includes a 
built in screen reader and that it is a blue ray disk player. . My question for 
those who Might have the console on this list is does the screen reader support 
extend  to playing blue ray disk movies as wellas games? What I meen is if I 
wanted to play a blue ray disk that has a AD Track would I be able to get to 
this info independently with out sighted help? Many thanks. I am asking since I 
am trying to save up for one of these consels to play the different games that 
we as blind people can play. Also for those who are interested hear’s the 
newest link to the can I play that news letter that includes blind news about 
the newest spider man game.
