Subject: Re: [AI] DTH entertainment services! Technically this is possible only when the settop box has built-in TTS. Service providers are now a days selling boxes of diferent types e.g. with HD quality, with recording etc. All they have to do is to introduce the set-top box developed in UK with RNIB as one of the options. If the set-top boxes were interchangeable between operators then also we can just buy such a box from outside india and use in our homes. -----Original Message----- From: AccessIndia [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of Mahesh Narasimhan Sent: 12 July 2015 16:45 To: AccessIndia: a list for discussing accessibility and issues concerning the disabled. Subject: Re: [AI] DTH entertainment services! Dear George Sir, Great point you have shared! I would like to share a suggestion. With the growing demand for the DTH services, the remote controls can have a couple of extra buttons on it which would be integrated with the whole system. One button can be used to switch over the interactive voice and the other button can help us in repeating the highlighted message. Rest all the buttons can continue doing the existing functions. This would be helpful not only for visually impaired persons, but it would be of great help to the senior citizens of the country as well. If convincing, I believe this matter must be escalated to the highest level. -- "Good friendship is like the relationship between eye & hand!
