Hi John, That is the one I also have and about 2 years ago I was in touch with the developer and even spoke with him on Skype a few times regarding accessibility. They did make some changes because at first it was not very accessible at all, but I lost interest in the project because I find it much too inconvenient to have to plug in the dongle, start the app, then if I want to turn the volume up or down I have to unlock the phone, find the button, make the adjustment etc. I find I don't often need to go into advanced settings for my receiver, the TV I only turn on if I have sighted company so for the most part it's changing volume or maybe channels if I listen to TV and that is easily done on a regular remote with good old buttons.

It is not totally accessible but with some moving of the icons a majority of the icons can be used. For example, I have a suddenlink cable box manufactured by Cisco and with the RE Remote I can turn the volume up or down; change channels and a few other things. It will also control my Samsung receiver. Here is the link from Amazon.com. The unit was around $48. hth Re iPhone Universal Remote Control - Infrared Remote Control Accessory for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch -------------------------------------------------- From: "Ramy Moustafa" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, February 01, 2013 9:43 AM To: <[email protected]> Subject: talking remote control to speak the channels > > Hi all: > Can't we find a program on iphone that can control the tv receiver and > speak the channel names?
