No it is not. The voice on that device will put you off. The voice on the fire TV is quite understandable.

Is the voice on that TV the same as the one on the Roku stick? We have one of those, and I actually found a voice almost not understandable. I’ve been using speech synthesizers for a long time, all the way back to dos. So it’s a great mystery to me why these folks who make these TV boxes accessible can’t find a way to give us a voice that’s really clear. Amazon wins hands-down in my opinion in that regard. Just like with the Roku TV, switching ports is totally accessible on the Amazon one, and you can also named him whatever you want, which I didn’t bother doing. You also have voice control of the TV, including turning it off and on, switching ports, launching movies or apps whatever. The Amazon TV is more expensive than that Roku. So if you’re satisfied with the voice, it sounds like it could be a good way to go. I just couldn’t get past the voice if it’s the same as the one on stick that we have.

It only cost around $150. They have bigger ones but this one meets my needs perfectly. The Spectrum roku app is very accessible as is tunein. The text-to-speech voice isn’t real great but works for me fine. It has 3 hdmi ports and a fiber-optic out for running sound bars or our Yamaha receiver which has fiberoptic ports. It has a composit or component port (I can’t keep the two straight). I like the set-up very much.
