Amazon Expands Accessibility Features With New Text Banner for Fire TV

Amazon has launched ‘Text Banner’, aimed at assisting users who struggle to read the onscreen text. This text banner appears in a fixed location on the screen and works across the Fire TV UI, but also Prime Video and other applications on your Amazon device. It can be enabled within Settings under Accessibility.

The new mode on the Fire TV summarises the currently focussed content in the bottom left hand side of the screen, in a high contrast purple/white box. Source: thestreamable.com.
