RE: Apple TV Questions/Considerations?

I find that really interesting I have had the last three versions of the apple tv and I can't say I've been upset by the lack of so called accessibility We don't get a lot of audio description with new Zealand tv shows unless you purchase a set top box which is a free view system that costs a

I was directed to an option that will resolve this. In VO Utility, General, look at the modifier key settings. There are 3 choices. 1. ctrl-option 2. capslock 3. ctrl-option or capslock I chose #3.. This allows you to use either option as the VO keys. Very nice. From E.T.'s Keyboard.

Re: Apple TV Questions/Considerations?

Actually, not very many Amazon Prime shows have audio description. For those that do, audio description is automatically switched on. For people who look at the ACB list, most of the shows on said list are not included in the Prime line-up. They cost extra to watch in Amazon Prime. Kind

Hi Christopher, Are you in the UK? I don’t know if that makes a difference or not. For the time being at least, I don’t intend to get rid of my Fios TV option. So, are you saying that if say, Fios offers programs that are described for blind viewers, then Apple TV over-rides that and the

Re: Apple TV Questions/Considerations?

Hello, personally I do not recommend Apple TV. while it has some good parts, like out of the box accessibility, there are some bad parts too. In my experience of using Apple TV, both third and fourth generation, whilst there were lots of content available, the majority of them were not audio

Re: Bug when entering phone numbers in contacts on Mac

Very interestingly, I do not encounter this with phone numbers but I do encounter it with e-mail addresses. I did change my card template 4-5 years ago so perhaps the order of items in the address card makes a difference. Also seems to behave a bit better (at least when cursor tracking is on)

Re: Slide to power off.

Oh, thank you very much. I have learnt something new today as I thought we had to slide and power off also. I do double tap it generally and never thought that slide was a sighted thing! I am still amazed that I can use Face ID, it still makes me laugh. Kawal. On 17 Dec 2017, at 08:07, Simon
