There some voice activated remotes. I believe RCA makes one.

Subject: Remote for laptop

 

Hello all,

 

I am working with a PALS who is using a head mouse to control his laptop.  He asked me if I knew of any software that he can download that will allow him to control his tv remote from his laptop.  He does not have any bulbar onset at this point, so communication is not an issue, but does not have any functional use of his extremities.  He is pretty "tech savvy" and is trying to stay as independent as possible.  Any thoughts or ideas?  Thanks.

 

Jenna
