Apple TV Now Has Voiceover

[Dane Trethowan]

Hi!

Can't verify as to whether this is true or not, was given information that the Apple TV units now have Voiceover as part of them, that's all I know, was given a link to a video but the link doesn't work, anyone else heard anything?

Hi,

There's a MacWorld article, "Apple to enable AirPlay with Apple TV 4.1
software update":
http://www.macworld.com/article/155879/2010/11/appletv.html
The details about VoiceOver support begin with the paragraph that
starts:
<begin quote>
The other major feature added with the Apple TV 4.1 software is
support for VoiceOver, or spoken menus. This feature can be enabled
from the Accessibility submenu of the General menu under Settings.
<end quote>

There's a YouTube video. (I read the article and played the embedded
YouTube video demoing VoiceOver with AirPlay on my iPad). Here's the
YouTube video link to the VoiceOver demo:

Another thing: there's support for Keynote, etc. display on Apple TV.
(This was originally through an earlier source tracked back to a Steve
Jobs email.)

Cheers,

Esther

No, Ian, it is nothing like that.

You stream to it, not from it. If you want to stream from something, you need the Slingbox, http://www.slingbox.com

Sorry for the late response but I only remembered when I saw Maria's message.

An after-thought. Maria, that is the longest signature I think I have ever seen!
