Voice commands for partially sighted and blind.
Hi
my mum is partially sighted and has Alzheimer's disease. She uses the voice commands for changing channels however. There's are several channels that don't work with voice commands so she is not able to access them.
channels that start "U&" don't work with voice commands also itv quiz. I know the latter has only just launched but I was wondering when it would get updated.
thanks
Rob

Have you rebooted the Sky box?

Unfortunately I know from painful experience that if you have a distinctive accent, some voice control apps don't understand you.
