Many thanks to all mailbase members who have responded to my request for advice re-computing options for a quadriplegic user who no longer has the voice power to operate voice recognition software.

It's reassuring to know that there do appear to be technical solutions available and I have passed these suggestions on (plus any direct offers of help) to Bob Bruce.  He will be able to respond via his PA.  I will update the mailbase once any progress has been made.

Again, many thanks for all the help.

Subject: Computing options for quadriplegic user

 

Hello all

Could I request some advice on computing options for quadriplegic users, please?  I don't have any specific expertise in this area and I'm trying to canvas advice for someone with primary progressive MS.  He was a NaturallySpeaking user for years but his voice is now so weak that voice recognition is no longer an option.  He has reasonable head movement and vision, and is not cognitively impaired.

Sadly, his wife and main supporter died last year and he is now very isolated.  If there is a way of allowing him to at least open e-mails and browse the web this would be greatly appreciated.

He lives in Sheffield and if there are solutions, we would need to be able to contact someone who could do an assessment and make recommendations.

Thanks in advance for your help.
