Media Players

Modern entertainment comes in a variety of media.  Many of the media players lack features to make them easily usable by people wlth physical or sensory limits.  Various accommodations do exist, however.

• Personal music players can store hours of music, talking books, or other entertainment to be listened to.
• Players often use batteries too quickly or have controls that are not accessible.  Docking the player gives it access to better speakers, larger controls, and power for the batteries.
• Some radios have accessible features, and some accessible players have radio receivers.
• Videos such as movies are often stored on DVDs for playback.  Some players have been designed for accessibility, and others can be modified for accessibility.
• Screen magnifiers may make it possible to obtain information from a screen where the print is too small to be easily read.
• Sometimes a video may need to be larger to be enjoyed.  Video magnifiers often have more features than still image magnifiers.
• A person with hearing aids may need the sound at a level that is uncomfortable for other people in the area.  Magnetic or Bluetooth interfaces can send the sound directly to the user's hearing aids so that listening need not intrude.
