Study: Visually Impaired Adults Tune-In To Television Almost As Much As General Public

Survey from Comcast and the American Foundation for the Blind Gauges TV-Watching Behaviors and Awareness of Accessible Technologies.

Comcast and the American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) today released a survey of people with visual disabilities showing that a majority watch four or more hours per day – almost as much as the general public. Many of those surveyed report that today’s assistive technologies like video description, text-to-speech and voice control are helpful as they watch TV; however, those tools still suffer from low levels of awareness, according to the study.
