TV Speak is a revolutionary new application which makes a TV-enabled computer accessible for the blind and vision impaired by speaking on-screen textual information such as menus and program guides.

Designed by the Spanish company Code Factory, TV Speak can be installed on computers with Windows 7, Vista or XP, which have been connected to a TV antenna via a tuner card. Once installed, it will verbalise functions such as:

  • Common operations like channel up and down
  • Access to teletext
  • Electronic program guides
  • Tuning TV and radio stations
  • Recording programs
  • Parental control

TV Speak is currently only available in the USA, Spain, France and Germany.
