[Electronics-Talk] Fully Accessible 40-inch TVs

[Melissa Kane]

On our Toshiba Amazon tv, pressing and holding the menu and back buttons turned on and off VoiceView. However the original remote broke and the replacement doesn’t seem to have a similar function. The voice is the best of the tv tts that I have seen but it isn’t the quality of other products.
