Re: Well, PS4 accessibility has ground to a halt, it seems
Assault_freak ADA actually doesn't cover it at all, it's another law called CVAA, which requires all communications technology (or communications elements of general purpose tech) to be accessible. Even PS4's limited text to speech covers much more than just navigating to and using communications (party chat etc), so they obviously can't only be interested in compliance.
So is amount of the OS that's covered the only thing what would be better about licensing an existing screen reader? There isn't anything else like quality of voices, configuration options etc that would be better too?
Porting things across platforms doesn't mean a full rewrite, it's less time and money to do that than to write something from scratch.
SLJ Being able to write apps doesn't help, those apps need to have low level access to the rest of the system. For example both Android and iOS have apps, but while you can write your own screen reader app for Android, you cannot for iOS. Same deal with consoles, they're locked down, same deal as with what you said about firmware.
