About third-party assistive technology
The Comcast Accessibility Support Center for Customers with Disabilities supports the use of these devices and software packages to provide better access to Comcast's products and services. Moreover, Comcast seeks to continually improve our third-party device support through customer feedback.
If you require help and support for an assistive device, please contact the Comcast Accessibility Support Center for Customers with Disabilities. Agents will work to find a solution to your issue, and also actively seek your feedback in order to improve Comcast's scope of support for third-party technologies. Agents may ask for the make, model and/or version of your device(s), so please have this information at hand.

The large-button remote is the only third-party assistive hardware that Comcast currently provides directly to customers; however, Comcast customer support will attempt to provide general support for other third-party devices including but not limited to:

Customer service representatives will work with customers to troubleshoot general issues, and will refer customers to the device manufacturer’s customer support line for further assistance as necessary.
Software
While Comcast currently does not provide assistive software packages to customers, customer service representatives will work to troubleshoot general issues with third-party software and will refer customers to the software manufacturer’s support line for further assistance as necessary.
Comcast products are tested with the latest versions of JAWS and NVDA screen readers on Windows and VoiceOver on Mac OS X. For mobile apps, we recommend customers use the latest versions of VoiceOver on iOS devices and TalkBack on Android devices. For the best results with all of our products, we recommend that customers have the latest version of their preferred screen reader installed at all times.
