Accessibility - Screen reader compatibility
It would be nice and hopeful, if you can improve the platform with more accessibility features we use two different screen readers, and within the combo boxes of the screen meters. It does not read the combo boxes it will only read it if a mouse is hover over each element within the combo box. At this point there’s not a lot of people that have full eyesight. And it would be nice to have all the elements read with both screen readers.

While I can not speak to any of your other smart tv apps, I imagine they probably have similar issues. I would like to encourage you to put in the time to make the entire platform, including listener apps, fully accessible. I would be happy to test any beta builds for improved accessibility. If you would prefer that someone on your development teams does this, that is fine, but accessibility should be built in from the beginning, rather than being an afterthought. -

Blind or visually-impaired users can toggle the accessibility mode by going into settings, under the Accessibility section. When this is toggled, blind people can use a screen-reader e.g., NVDA, (Non-Visual Des -

Ionut SarghiJAWS is not able to interact with event scheduling and clockwheel creation. The website buttons need better labeling as this is what the screen reader uses to name the button. Many are currently labeled as button 0 since they do not have a name.
