News: Trials set to start soon for accessible set top boxes in Australia
by BlindMind.net, 25 Mar 2011
Accessible set top boxes are coming to Australia in the coming months. Two manufacturer's hardware devices are currently being tested, with public trials set to begin in April.
The set top boxes have in-built TTS with adjustable speed and speaking volume, and allow access to all the set top box's features.
In Australia, anyone with a Centrelink card will have a box provided to them by the government at no charge when they are released, which should hopefully be around June or July of this year.
