Tablet / TV for stroke patient - Echo Show or similar?

[Cornucopia55]

Hello - my dad has lost the use of his dominant arm and leg, so he is chair - and bed-bound. I'm looking for voice - controlled tech that he can use to watch TV, listen to music etc. I've seen the Echo Show used very well for video chats, but wondered if you had any suggestions for alternatives or for use? Dad is mentally able but did not use tech before the stroke, and prefers the idea of voice control. I'd be grateful for pointers before buying something for him.

I’m not sure about TV but he can use the Echo to listen to music. If you’re looking at voice commands, how good is his speech?

When you say that he didn’t use tech, what do you mean exactly? Do you mean that he didn’t have a smartphone or tablet or he is fundamentally against things like cars, vacuum cleaners and dishwashers

Has he got access to occupational therapy? They might have good advice. And try the charity Abilitynet for ideas as well.

Thank you. He does not use computers or smartphones. His speech is good, which is why we want to get him a voice controlled device. We know they're winners for music, but wondered what other people's experiences were for other things.

Those are helpful suggestions - thank you!
