both would be nice, but having Audio Described Television would be really awesome. If I had to choose where Tablo focuses development, I’d choose SAP over accessible app navigation. Hopefully accessing the Tablo and it’s features from my Mac with VoiceOver will work. So not being able to navigate in the Tablo app isn’t a deal killer, it would just be nice if I could use it if my wife or kids need help. Since Tablo currently does not support SAP, I will not be able to hear the Audio Described Television audio track that some TV shows have. ![]() Well, that is kind of a bummer with the Roku. VoiceOver works great with most Apple apps, but third party apps is hit or miss with VoiceOver accessibility – some are accessible, and some are not. Yeah, that is how it is for several apps on my iPad. Thank you so much for testing the audio guide accessibility feature on your Roku. Hopefully or will respond to this thread with a comment on whether such support is in their plans. The Roku Audio Guide function appears not to be currently supported in the Tablo app, at least not on my Roku 3600 Streaming Stick. Alas, there was no descriptive audio at all inside the Tablo app, just the beep sound as one moves between selections. I then started Tablo with the Audio Guide still enabled and moved through menus and into program selections. ![]() Not being experienced with the feature, I started both Netflix and Amazon Video to check functionality and found that it read a name for the current selection in the menus, read program descriptions when a show was selected, etc. On the streaming stick it announced it had turned on the function, then read the home menu information. ![]() W7KBX, I am not visually impaired, but to try and answer your last question, I enabled the Audio Guide feature on my Roku Streaming stick (four rapid presses of * key) after finding that the function doesn’t seem to be supported on my Roku 3s. Is it just a matter of getting used to? Does anyone know if the old-school aluminum remote works with the 4th gen ATV and the Tablo app? Our choice is now between the 4th generation aTV and the Roku Ultra.ĭoes anyone have any thoughts about ATV and the Tablo app? I’m not a fan of the Siri remote for the 4th gen ATV. Meaning, how does the Roku’s screen-reader for the blind handle the Tablo app, and how does the Fire TV screen-reader for the blind handle the Tablo app? Is there anyone reading this who has used the Tablo app/channel on both Roku and Amazon Fire TV? If so, which do you prefer and why?Īnd here’s a question that I don’t know if anyone will be able to answer, how is the accessibility of each app. Our choice, based on price and needs, will be one of the Roku models with ethernet, or the Amazon Fire TV stick. Problem is, we have no streaming device for our TV’s to access a Tablo. It didn’t take long until I was persuaded to eventually get one (hopefully in another month). In my search for an affordable replacement, I stumbled upon Tablo. So, our OTA TiVo of 9 years crapped out on us. ![]() And really, I’m asking for my wife and 5 kids, all of whom are fully sighted, but don’t know how all this DVR and streaming devices work. I’m blind and searching for archived topics and forums is a bit time consuming for me. I’m sorry if this topic has been discussed at infinitum.
