I have had the most success with my Samsung Galaxy S4. This is my second one, just bought it recently for $90.00 new. I’m staying with the S4 at the present because it works with my AnyMote and Amazon Alexa. I purchased an expanded battery for the S4 from Amazon for $23.00 which enables it to be on the entire day.
This is my configuration: Dragon Mobile Assistant with attentive mode turned on, hands free mode (not driver mode) turned on. There’s an application called Screen On which allows the screen to stay on at all times, but I find it annoying. I just say Hello Dragon and it wakes up. Without Screen On it sometimes takes 30 or 40 seconds to wake up. I use a wired earphone—Bluetooth does not work for me anymore, but it used to-go figure! I can send texts, turn on the GPS, of course phone calls, search the Internet but since I can’t use my hands I cannot scroll through the pages, most importantly for me I can have a private conversation. It’s the best that I have found. Hope this helps.

I'm thinking that my type of emergencies would likely call for me not being directly in front of the phone, which I know leaves me something like Google Assistant, but I was curious if there is something else _____ From: Jim Lubin <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > To: Jeffrey Gaede <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Cc: Quad-list Post <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Sent: Monday, December 11, 2017 4:46 PM Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Cell phones I suggest an Android phone that works with Sesame Enable.
