[Electronics-Talk] Netflix Issue

[Dennis Long]

I will no longer purchase fire products.  Amazon doesn't care.  You report
bugs and they do nothing.  For best accessibility go with an Apple tv box.

Subject: [Electronics-Talk] Netflix Issue

Good morning everyone,

	This is for users of Google Assistant, Amazon's VoiceView and
Netflix. Recently we began not having Netflix work with Google Assistant or
Voiceview. We're able to use it with Alexa but Google Assistant or VoiceView
will not access the Netflix screen contents as they have done in the past.
This began happening earlier this week before and since our issue with the
loss of video on our tv last Thursday. We want to know if others have
experienced the same behavior with Netflix and these two screen readers. If
Netflix released an update and failed to test it thoroughly with these two
screen readers this is shameful considering that Netflix was a 2022 Jacob
Bolotin Award recipient during the National Federation of the Blind's 2022
National Convention. My hope is that the problem will clear up on its own.
If not I'll be in touch with Amazon, hopefully Google and Netflix
accessibility departments to make them aware of this issue so they can
troubleshoot it. If Netflix wants to keep a good reputation among the blind
where its accessibility is concerned they had better get on top of this one!
All the best for a great weekend.

Peter Donahue
