Verizon Launches Accessibility Features

Verizon Communications recently launched a resource page for its newly 
upgraded FiOS accessible video subscription service. The page provides 
information on FiOS text-to-speech functionality, which was pushed out 
to subscribers during a recent software update throughout the Verizon 
network.
The upgraded accessibility features are part of the changes made through 
the 21st Century Communications & Video Accessibility Act (CVAA), which 
requires
cable providers to make their navigation systems accessible for 
customers who are blind and visually impaired. These features are 
currently available on most FiOS systems. To learn more about the 
accessibility upgrades, including steps on how to activate such 
features, visit,
