The Roku app is accessible. It’s a lot easier to use the app, and it is to use
the Roku with the remote itself. The hardest part I find using the Roku for me,
personally is understanding what the lady is telling us to do as far as if

I know there has been discussion in the past to the effect that the Roku is
totally not accessible. Now however, I am asking about possibly being able to
use a Roku with the iOS app for your iPhone. There is one, and it has decent
reviews for the most part. But you really can't test its

There is no Roku accessibility. Contentwise, Roku's got a lot more , but as a
blind person can't use it, it doesn’t' really matter. If your husband or other

everyone's blind, then don't even bother with a Roku

I had no idea the Roku had become the least bit accessible. I once had a
