Hello @debbiedo49 Have you seen our posts on disability aids and equipment.
Have a look at those innovations catalogues for solutions and ideas.
Also on line. Might be worth looking at.
One other is local OT people of the council do they not have anything you can use.
Hope I can help.
Take care

Hi
If you have an android phone Google assist is an OK aid, not perfect but it will help.
Apple tablets have Siri and there is a microphone on the keypad so you can dictate.
