[Electronics-Talk] information about the samsung tv with voice guide, completely accessible, for Peter and anyone interested in an accessible tv with speech

Sun Jan 22 11:31:40 UTC 2017

Peter, and, everyone, the week of thanksgiving, a lister named Mike here on 
the electronics talk list informed us about the samsung tv with voice guide, 
model number Samsung un32j5500afxza. Saturday of that week, about 3 or 4 
days after reading his message we went to Best buy to purchase the tv and 
it's really wonderful, it talks everything, all the menus, when going to 
another channel it will tell you what show is on and other details, the 
channel number and a few other bits of information. It talks all the menues 
so you would be abled to turn on audio description and other functions. The 
regular price for the tv is $280. When you get the tv home you could set the 
tv up yourself by pressing a button that will turn the speech on and then 
you can proceed to set everything up including scanning the channels in. The 
infomation about this button is in both audio files that are included in the 
folder and you can also read about the button in Mike's informative message 
about the tv included in this message. To begin with here's information 
about the tv which includes the messages from Mike that were posted to the 
list and I have his demo of the tv in a folder that we put together, and 
there's a little exchange of messages between Mike and I who was extremely 
helpful when we first got the tv. Then we have a audio demo done about the 
tv and also the text to speech with dish that was done by my boyfriend 
Wayne. Now that we know even more about the tv, he's going to do another 
audio file about the tv itself. If you have any questions please feel 
welcome to write to us on and or off list though  we're both on the list, 
though our contact information will be at the end of the message to write 
off list. Wayne had the idea of hooking the computer keyboard up to the tv 
and you could use  the keyboard as you do the remote, and we have a text 
file about that in the folder. Also in the folder is the manual for this tv. 
The tv remode for this tv is so well designed and talks everything. This tv 
remote is one of the best designed tv remotes both of us have ever seen, 
it's really straight forward. On the remote  there's a learn remote button 
so you can review what the buttons are, besides hearing the buttons speak 
what they are as you use the remote regularly, which Mike writes about in 
the messages included here and his demo audio file.  In his message and demo 
he clearly explains about the button that turns the speech on the tv.
