Re: Roku accessibility, any good? Sorry I lied. I have an LG tv and I'm afraid it doesn't have a screen reader.

Re: Roku accessibility, any good? @15 You are right. My parents have a Samsung, and I turn it on and off all the time.

Re: Roku accessibility, any good?
Re: Roku accessibility, any good? Mine's Samsung, and I want to say you can turn it on by holding mute until it starts talking. But that may be incorrect as I've not ever turned it off.

Re: Roku accessibility, any good?
Re: Roku accessibility, any good? I have one, and it works, but I wouldn't recommend getting one. It doesn't read Youtube, and the voice is kind of hard to understand. It works for me, but I would not buy another one.

Re: Roku accessibility, any good?
Re: Roku accessibility, any good? Thanks, folks. Finally found the magic Google keywords that led me to the Access World review, and it does look pretty bad. Maybe I'll just suck it up and buy into an ecosystem--one larger and more monopolistic than Roku, in any case.And unfortunately, my current TV lacks a screen reader. We found some sort of visually-impaired accessibility setting (maybe it wasn't *exactly* called that, but it was super ambiguous) but it remains greyed out. And even if it worked, I likely wouldn't want to keep this thing. It always loses my setting to disable the crappy tinny internal speakers on reboot, meaning I routinely drunkenly have to punch in a konami-esque code into my remote so I don't get an awful-sounding reverb when the TV competes with my surround sound.Back to the drawing board...

Re: Roku accessibility, any good?
Re: Roku accessibility, any good? When I tried it 1.5 years ago or so I found it unusably bad, in the sense of even if I had the patience it wouldn't have mattered. It might have improved since.If you don't know, many regular old TVs just have a screen reader built in now. Yours might. Depending on what it is that might be enough. Mine's pretty good, very much to my surprise, and I think it has at least some Roku integration. But it's not my area of expertise.

Roku accessibility, any good?
Roku accessibility, any good? Slowly but surely replacing my appliances with more accessible equivalents, and now I'm eyeing the TV. Is anyone here familiar with Roku? If so, how is its accessibility, and would you recommend it?Disclaimer: I've seen enough specific question topics derail into general slugfests about which platform is better, don't get that get this instead, etc. I know about Apple TV, Google's various offerings, etc. If it turns out Roku's accessibility isn't great, then thanks, question answered. I don't want to get off into the weeds talking about Chromecasts, FireTVs, etc. I'm looking into Roku for some very specific reasons, but a platform that is only 70-80% accessible would be a reason I'd dismiss it, and that's what I'm trying to establish here.Thanks.
