Press microphone button once to make it listen to voice commands (accessibility option)

alexmc67 — Sun, 26 Sep 2021 21:15:36 GMT

I have a friend with severe mobility problems. He has said that it is quite difficult for him to press the microphone button on the remote and keep it depressed while saying what he is trying to request

The suggestion is to add an accessibility option which means that the microphone button only needs to be pressed for it to continue to listen out for verbal commands for the next fifteen seconds or so. Currently it seems to stop listening immediately as the microphone button is let go of.

Obviously not everyone would want this which is why it should be an option.

That's a good idea. I'll pass it on.
