I saw this on Facebook demonstrating using a Xbox One to control the TV using voice only
https://www.thetsf.org/ https://www.facebook.com/148425091884505/videos/1387274131332922/ Here is a video of me demonstrating how to control a television hands-free using Xbox one. Also a thank you letter from one of the TSF's recipients who received help getting this set up. "Tyler, I wanted to send you a quick thank you note for your help in finding some assistive technology that has given me a great deal of freedom. As being legally blind and a quadrapoligic, I spend a significant portion of my day listening to the television. For the last month or so, thanks to your recommendation, I have been using an Xbox to control my television. Where as before, I had to sit and endure the same channel for hours on end. A very frustrating experience indeed. With the Xbox voice control capability my situation has improved significantly. Being able to change or mute the volume, change chanels at a whim or even switching the TV on and off has enabled me to have much greater control over my environment. This is a significant improvement from the past where I was totally dependent on a caregiver to do these simple tasks. It was very frustrating when I had no caregiver and the chanel wasn't right, or I wanted to take a nap and the volume was too high. Having the freedom that your solution has afforded me has greatly improved my quality of life, and your assistance helping setting the system up is really appreciated. Thank you very much!"
