Comments on: Dyslexia Spelling Checker Wins Techology4Good Award http://www.headstar.com/eablive/?p=749 Access to technology for all Sun, 01 Apr 2018 16:32:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=4.0.1 By: Dan Jellinek http://www.headstar.com/eablive/?p=749&cpage=1#comment-6493 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 14:21:53 +0000 http://www.headstar.com/eablive/?p=749#comment-6493 Hi,
Sorry if the piece was a bit shorthand there – a fuller quote from BSkyB on the award shortlisting is:
“BSkyB… has embedded accessibility across its business and every level of customers’ experience including the products in their homes and the support they receive from Sky engineers and customer centres.
“They have also developed assistive technology such as the Sky Talker that vocalises parts of the electronic programme guide for those with sight-loss and an Easy-Grip remote control for those with physical disabilities.”

So there reference was for Sky Talker, that “vocalises parts of the guide”, and therefore presumably not all of the guide – we should have made that clearer. Sorry!
Dan
