Sky has added Voice Guidance for the visually impaired to its Sky Q TV platform, as part of a wider feature update. It’s also expanded voice search functionality, bringing Disney+ into results.
With Voice Guidance switched on, users can navigate Sky Q’s TV guide, and assorted menus with voice prompts and spoken descriptions. With spoken descriptions of any menu being navigated, it’s easier to reach shows and live content. The feature is activated by simply saying ‘Voice Guidance’ into the Sky Q voice remote.
The updates will start to appear on Sky Q boxes from today, with all customers covered by the end of April.
