Tom,I would be glad to help you with their web-site.  If you know how to use
it, it is totally useable with JAWS, assuming that's what you are using as
your screen reader.  It's best viewed now with IE.  Let me know off list if
you would like some help.

Hello Norma and list:  Yes...I've got it and it sounds good!  It made me
finally break down and get the Un Line subscription (have had the radio for
years) but resisted getting the "On Line" subscription because of
inaccessibility problems!  As far as I'm concerned, that website is still
not accessible enough for me!  But maybe it's just because I don't
understand how to do what--sigh!

Hello Mike and list:  Thanks for the offer; I hopefully will be able to get
back with you in a few days as.  Do you have a problem with putting your
email on here?  Only asking because, with Outlook 2013, I don't know if I
can just "reply to sender"...this is to say, I don't know if there is a way
to just reply to you from here!
Many thanks; yes...I am using Jaws 18

RE: Fire TV Stick with Voice Remote

[Mary Otten]

Hi John,

Yes, with the fire tv stick, you can access netflix and see categories
of movies, go through lists etc. When I first got the tv stick, sign in
was not accessible. Now it is, according to other blind people; since I
got sighted help for my initial sign in, I haven't had to do that
again, so I can personally verify it. My set up is wifi. I honestly
don't remember how difficult it was to do that sign in, because it was
several months ago, and I've gone through a lot of stuff in my personal
life since then. Now the fire stick has alexa as well as the voiceview
screen reader. I don't use the alexa much, but it is there. I also
can't speak to Pandora accessibility, since I don't use that service.
But netflix is good, better than on the apple tv, because it is better
at announcing the category or row of movie listings you are in.

Mary

RE: Fire TV Stick with Voice Remote

[Johnny Angel]

Mary,

Just how completely and fully is Netflix accessible? Are you able to use a
text to speech function to here individual menu choices or here information
on various movies. Are you able to with your setup, find and then scroll
down through various categories and individual movie selections? Is your
setup WyFy? If Netflix and Pandora accessibility that good, would you please
go over your setup for me?

Thanks,

John Chilelli

I did not read the access world review, and only fairly recently got the
fire TV stick. But it works fine, although some apps are not accessible. All
of the Amazon stuff is accessible. Netflix is accessible. You can adjust the
voice speed and the volume. So I'm not sure what you might be looking for
specifically in terms of accessibility questions.
