   Hello Erich B.!

   At one time, I was thinking of gifting a tablet to an aunt of     
   mine, so that she could enjoy photos that people could send her     
   and look up stuff she might be interested in.  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.
