- An Accessibility Review of the Fire TV with VoiceView from Amazon, by
Bill Holton
<http://afb.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=bd3c8fefc9f905f5ccf41c577&id=2c5229ee99&e=0122cec033>
If you own an Apple TV and wish you could also accessibly stream Prime
Video on your home TV, the $40 cost of a Fire TV makes it an affordable
option. The Fire TV VoiceView Preview is by no means a finished product.
But it does most of what it needs to do to allow you to watch Prime Videos
or accessibly purchase and play a movie or TV episode.
