[GUI-Talk] smart speakers/touch screens /accessibility

[Ted Shelly]

Hi,

I have set up an Amazon Echo Dot with Alexa and also a Sonos speaker with
Alexa.  In each case I use my iPhone with Voiceover to do the setup.  While
the setup is somewhat complex, it is quite doable without sighted
assistance.

 My question I think  relates to GUI because I have heard that a GUI
touchscreen might be involved in setting up and initiating smart speaker
like the Alexa machines and competitors? What I would like to
know is balancing   capabilities, performance and accessibility  out
of the box,which is the best  Alexa-like   but any  maker/vendor
smart speaker  machine for a blind user to maximize use and set up alone,or
in other words start up and use with the least need for sighted person
assistance or guesswork? And what are the notable lackings,shortcomings
and/or riks of these devices for a blind user?
