Opdenkamp, Again, My intention was not to insult. It was a frustrated generalization. And I apologize you took it that way. I appreciate everything the Devs of XBMC and its addons have done. XBMC is a very polished wonderful piece of software and you all have done an amazing job. I don't want you to think I don't appreciate what you all have accomplished as I really do. I realize it's not a snap your fingers solution. I just want devs to keep the Visually impaired in mind when developing there software.

I have no experience in developing. However, I have a bit of R&R Leave coming. When I am back home I will have a look at it see if it is maybe something I can learn enough to accomplish. Using JSON-RPC, I would have to create a separate interface altogether to pull guide and video data, format it in a way to provide for the TTS engine, Then translate the any selections back into XBMC JSON command? Is that about right? More or less creating a totally separate interface and running XBMC more as a service.

Traker1001, sure, the VoxCommando forums are lively and the dev is very active. It has TTS support via Windows. My main XBMC machine is a xbmcbuntu machine so I haven't quite figured out an innovative way to get TTS feedback to work. Not sure how much TTS support there is for menu navigation but saying "play movie Star Wars" and other complex phrasing implementation with smart lists I think can certainly assist you. There are many tutorial videos and stuff in the forums to help setup and free demo. I hope this helps.
