I can only add my praise to Sonos, I bought my first Sonos players in 2009 and they are still going strong. In those first years you could use most of the Sonos features with Voiceover, but the app definitely needed improvement, there were unlabelled buttons and so on. I was quite active in 2010 and 2011 along with Neil Barnfather to get Sonos to realize that accessibility should be a priority with an app for equipment which was of great interest to the visually impaired. Fortunately after a couple of years of not getting very far Sonos apparently had a change of heart and ever since I think 2012 or 2013 at the latest all versions of the Sonos app have been wonderfully accessible. In the beginning TruePlay tuning was not working with Voiceover, but they have also fixed that and it works fine now. All I can say is go for it, you won't regret it and you won't regret spending the money on Jonathan's book, either, especially as a new Sonos user..

It's called Sonisthesia, and can be purchased here. http://mosen.org/sonos Jonathan Mosen Mosen Consulting Blindness technology eBooks, tutorials and training http://Mosen.org On 28/09/2016, at 3:55 AM, Sachin Pavithran <sachinslistse...@gmail.com<mailto:sachinslistse...@gmail.com>> wrote: Hello all, I am considering sonos as a way of sending music to various zones in my house. I know sonos has been discussed here in the past but haven’t really followed that thred. Wondering if you could answer a few basic questions for me: 1) How accessible is the sonos app? 2) Has the company sonos been responsive to address accessibility issues? 3) When you stream audio using sonos does voice over remain on your phone? 4) Anything else I might want to keep in mind before taking this step? Appreciate any feedback that you all might be willing to provide. Cheers. Sachin -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
