Amazon is adding more accessibility features to the Fire TV range, helping to ensure everyone can enjoy their products.
The ability to audio stream to hearing aids (ASHA) support is being expanded to more hearing aid manufacturers, allowing viewers to have uadio delivered directly to their hearing aids. To allow ASHA users to still be part of the room, they are being dual audio to some of their Fire TV sets, allowing audio to be played direct to hearing aids and still be played into the room.
In addition, Amazon is updating packaging to add tactile markers around QR codes, making them easier for customers who are blind or low vision to find the QR code for setup. This sounds like such a simple change, but as a blind customer, I can't tell you how much easier this will make it to set up products and get rhe support needed.
It is great to see Amazon continuing to develop and release new accessibility features, to increase the reach of their products.
Building on Amazon’s ongoing mission to develop technology that makes more possible, we strive to make our products and features inclusive of and accessible to everyone—including the more than 1 billion people worldwide living with a disability. Today, we’re introducing three new accessibility updates across Fire TV and other Amazon products that we hope will delight our customers when it comes to their options in streaming and home entertainment.
