I've mentioned this before and it may apply here. Most states have a adaptive equipment department, funded by the March of Dimes. They have such equipment on loan for 30-60 days at no cost. Usually the equipment is shipped from your States Capital or a Major Rehab Hospital with an Assistive Technology Dept. Best Wishes In a message dated 11/11/2015 8:37:52 A.M.

I have Comcast cable, and you can change the channel using the Xfinity website. I use Dragon NaturallySpeaking to control my PC. And so I can change the channels on my seven-year-old television set using a combination of Dragon NaturallySpeaking, my computer, and the website. Unfortunately, I'm not able to turn the TV on or off or change volume or switch the input from the cable box to my Roku box. maybe the newer televisions have more options for wireless control. Good luck. Dave Krehbiel From: Gail Overton [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, November 11, 2015 1:25 AM To: quad-list Subject: [QUAD-L] Voice-activated TV remote? Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a voice-activated television remote control? We caregivers spend way too much time changing channels for quadriplegics and I’m sure it’s frustrating for them as well…………… .surely in the 21st century there has to be something!
