TVonics, a British manufacturer of Freeview set-top-boxes, and Ivona, a text-to-speech service, have been working in collaboration with RNIB to launch a TVonics Freeview+ HD Digital TV recorder that talks, making this easier to use for people with sight loss.
The new product uses Ivona's text-to-speech technology which is one of the most realistic text-to-speech services available.
The talking TVonics DTR-HD500 box is available from the RNIB shop. If you order from RNIB it also comes with accessible instructions.
This box is also available from other retailers, however they may not have the talking software installed. If you have purchased a box and would like to upgrade the software then you can download it from the RNIB shop.
For more information or to order the device simply call us on 0303 123 9999.
