Given that she        is crippled with arthritis, a voice activated way to accomplish        things would be the best way. But she doesn't pronounce words        "normally", and given that she lives about 280kms away, it is        not feasible to train the device for the nuances.              The idea was to use one of the Amazon Fire tablets + Alexa.              --        ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.50        * Origin: Get MOBILE on your mobile! http://shorturl.at/cfsJ0 (2:221/1.58)       SEEN-BY: 153/757 221/1 6 360 229/426 664 280/464 292/854 423/81 460/58       SEEN-BY: 770/1       PATH: 221/1 6 229/664 426           |
