To completely control things like scheduling and such through voice recognition?  Not sure such a beast exists.   Unless you are talking Voice rec for a computer, like previous email for dragon.

But you can consider Margarets options or various people have switch adapted music players...?

Hi Ann-

I don't know of adapting a cell phone, but I know ETO Engineering sells a
switch adapted PDA solution.

I recently attended a session at RESNA on TBI and veterans. They mentioned
using PDAs as memory aides, and there was certain software that they
mentioned using. I'll see if I can find it and email it to the group.

 Hi Everyone!

I am wondering if anyone has adapted an Iphone or similiar products for
switch accessing? In addition, is anyone using these products with voice
recognition for keeping a schedule, recording conversations, to do lists,
etc. and are you running across any limitations that I should be aware of
prior to suggesting such an option?   I am exploring  for  future use with
clients.    If you have experiences you  would not mind sharing how you were
able to accomplish it would be great to learn.  . 

Thanks,
