Re: Fantastic news regarding Sony PS4 Text to Speech Console hardware is often region-specific, not country specific. Ps4s in Canada are the same hardware used as the American ones.. because they, along with Latin-America all together come as one region. So yes, the TTS does work

Re: Fantastic news regarding Sony PS4 Text to Speech I'm very grateful for Karen's initiative, even though I'm not all that into sports games. It shows that there are indeed people who care... and I agree that at least in the case of EA, all the skepticism is misplaced. Sony, however

Re: Fantastic news regarding Sony PS4 Text to Speech

Re: Fantastic news regarding Sony PS4 Text to Speech The sad thing is that Soni's been the laughingstock for drm, and rightfully so. Rootkit locked people out of their own damn cd's, and installed unsolicited software on the machine accessing the disks without consent. My point? They've

Re: Fantastic news regarding Sony PS4 Text to Speech

Re: Fantastic news regarding Sony PS4 Text to Speech the TTS is blocked using hardware identifiers unique to each ps4 SKU. It's not a location based thing, so you can't spoof your location to gain access. This means that within the lines of code that make up theTTS or the ps4's OS it's

Re: Fantastic news regarding Sony PS4 Text to Speech In regards to EA, that's different. In that case I do think there are people there that want to implement accessibility, or at least try to sell it to the higher ups. Game accessibility isn't regulated in any way, so EA wasn't obligated
