Hi Moreen
The person I am asking about I have not met, but I was told about her at a
meeting yesterday, so I am looking for info to pass on.
She has arthritis in her hands, so can not use a keyboard.
Steve Nutt has said that one can use Dragon. I am not sure what sort of
computer she has, but just need lots of info to pass on.
David.

Hi David.

The windows operating system has various tools available, both free and paid
that allow you to interact with the computer via voice or by using a webcam
to move the mouse with head gestures etc. what's the level of disability that
we're talking? and what kind of things does she want the device to do?
android and iOS operating systems also offer various functions via voice
including skype, calling people in your contacts, dictating text messages,
etc. if you'd rather a chat via phone for further advice, please don't
hesitate to drop me a note on or off list.

is where you'll find me.

all the best,

Hi,
this is a difficult subject, but I know some one who is fully sighted, but
needs a computer which she can talk to. This to open Skype, but she can not
use her hands. Is their such a thing like this on the market? Need to find
out very soon, so if anyone can point me in the right direction I would be
very grateful. David.** To leave the list, click on the
