There is a page on the Apple website that details the accessibility for the new TV OS, according to Apple vis. I haven't been there, but they say voiceover will be there. What I want to know is about the new force touch or touch 3-D. How is voiceover going to work with that. That is a more serious question it seems to me. And of course, we heard nothing about that in today's speeches. Mary
