What Is A Good Phone To Use For Someone With Tremors?
I have both essential tremors and Parkinson's, some days holding the phone is difficult let alone answering it or texting with it. What type of phone has worked best for those with tremors ?
I have a family plan with T-Mobile and I cannot change that service . I prefer to use an Android, I really can't afford an iPhone.
I don't know much about Adroids, but my PD husband puts his iPhone flat on the table and uses the voice activation to send texts and emails. When he talks by voice, he keeps the phone on the table and pushes the button for speaker phone so he can hear. Keeping it on the table takes away any issues RE tremors. Can someone help you find the setting on your android phone to turn on the voice activation for texting/emails?
@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member - touch screens are So difficult with tremors. I Love the Voice Activation & use it a lot. I got an inexpensive folding Bluetooth keyboard for times when I had to use the texting/emails without talking.
Thank you for your idea. Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best.
PS to clarify: voice activation allows you to speak and the phone types what you speak. You say "period" and "new line" as well to direct the phone while you speak the text you want to send.
