Sky Q offers Voice Guidance, a screen reader feature designed to assist users with visual impairments. 

It reads out menu options and on-screen text, allowing users to navigate their Sky Q box without relying solely on visual cues. 

You can activate Voice Guidance through voice commands with the Sky Q voice remote or by adjusting accessibility settings in the menu.

  If you have a Sky Q voice remote, you can say “Voice Guidance on” to activate the feature and “Voice Guidance off” to deactivate it, according to Sky. 
• Accessibility Settings:

  Alternatively, you can navigate to the Accessibility settings within the Sky Q menu and turn on Voice Guidance there. 

• Spoken Menu Descriptions:

  Voice Guidance reads out the text on the Sky Q menus as you navigate through them with your remote. 
• Item Selection:

  It will also announce the currently selected item, so you know which option you’re about to choose. 
• Guidance to Content:

  It can guide you to your favourite shows and movies by reading out the options on the screen. 

• Audio Description:

  Sky Q also offers audio descriptions, which provide spoken commentary to describe the action in a program. 
• High Contrast Settings:

  You can adjust the picture settings to increase contrast and make the display easier to see.
