[gui-talk] DVD Movies and TV Guides...

[Jonathan Cohn]

All Verizon customers with recent hardware can now have text to speech on the guide. It speaks quite slowly, but does seem to work.
ComCast has had this for over a year. 


Turn it on in 
menu settings accessibility text to speech 

I expect if you know the pattern well enough a blind person could turn this feature on.
 
		Best wishes,

Jonathan Cohn
