Hi-

The Xbox One worked very well as a hands-free, voice-activated control for one of our clients for his Netflix and TV. He used one of the older versions. I believe the newer ones also need the Kinect. 

Thanks,

Sara

I know this group had a discussion a couple of weeks ago about using the Echo for controlling a TV remote.  I know Antoinette asked if anyone knew of any other device besides the Blu Moo to use but I didn’t see a response.  

Has anyone tried Google Home with another device to operate a TV remote?

We have a significant number of people that can still speak but don’t have hand function.  They want voice recognition access to their TV and since they don’t have an SGD I am trying to find alternatives for them.

Any recommendations appreciated.
