[Electronics-Talk] Samsung talking Televisions

Sun Oct 29 12:26:06 UTC 2017

I don't get that either, Pam. Andy, thank you for being thoughtful and 
welmeaning. Like Pam, we're not into alexa or cortana. Talking to the tv 
only gives you so much access. The tv talks with the access to the menues 
talks very well so therefore there is no need for us to talk to our Samsung 
tv. While we can talk to it, there's no need to do that, between all you can 
do with the menues  all talking, from just changing a channel to scheduling 
a new show to the bunch of shows we already have scheduled to record, to 
recording a missed tv show. Andy could you tell us more about this amazon 
tv, the model and brand, and the details and features that it includes 
concerning accessibility. Thank you.
