Hi does your TV have voice in the apps part or it? I have the 32 inch that came out in 2016 the model number ends in 32 and the only app support it has is net flex and there is no app support for that in that tv.

We can watch, Apple TV, Netflicks, Amazon Prime, Youtube, and no doubt Hulu if we had it on just the TV. The voice is OK, your stock Samsung voice; but along with our Xfinity remote, I can access all of it with few exceptions. Voice commands work very well. Our 3rd gen Apple TV is sitting in my wife's office not really being used since we got the SamSung.

I had a Roku stick, and it was sluggish. And although I have been using synthetic speech since the DOS days, I found their speech is hard to understand is anything I’ve ever heard in the synthetic speech world. In other words, avoid it like the plague.

Of course, if you have Apple TV Plus, all of their original programming is audio described, as is just about all Netflix programming as well. I do know, but not from firsthand experience, that the Roku app with a Smart TV is supposed to be accessible, but there are so many different Roku devices, that each one is different, and you turn on accessibility options differently, depending on the Roku device that you are using. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Anthony Vece Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 2021 9:24 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Apple TV Karen; I can say with certainty that the Apple TV is very accessible.

However, I didn't really pay attention to them because I wasn't needing the information. We currently have a Roku, and are thinking about changing to Apple TV. I have to admit that I never concerned myself with accessibility, and just let my husband control the remote, since we seemed to enjoy much of the same programing. For those of you who have had experience with both; Which do you prefer, and why? Would the Apple TV be as accessible as other Apple devices? Thanks.
