Re: [QUAD-L] Hands-free telephone
I too have had problems with the magnet on my wheelchair with the no buttons. And there is something to say about the speaking on a speaker. It is not the best situation all of the time. Thanks Joan for the info. I'll look at this. Q On Friday, September 26, 2014, Joan Anglin wrote: > Welcome Larry > > I am a C4 and have no arms nor hand movements.

RE: [QUAD-L] Hands-free telephone
Welcome Larry I am a C4 and have no arms nor hand movements. This is an ongoing discussion for all of us, and it is ever changing. Wheels mentioned the No Hands headset which uses the Blueant and it utilizes a magnet that can be attached anywhere and you need to just put the Blueant near the magnet which activates the Blueant headset and you can make calls-it does not need the Samsung galaxy you can use any cell phone with phone commands, I had an inexpensive phone and that worked very effectively. My problem is that I am very active in my wheelchair outside and never found a way to secure the flexible magnet wand so that it stayed accessible. I also do not like using a speakerphone all the time so that the Commute Bluetooth that Quadius mentions does not work for me also. I have not yet discussed the system that I am using now, (but keeping my fingers crossed-every single one that I can LOL) is working the best ever. I have a Samsung galaxy S4, utilizing S voice, and a Broadened Horizons power 2 go system which allows my phone to be on at all times and I am also using the S4 Voice Search so I am able to have the phone, and lots of apps that I haven't an even tried out and it works great. I am just using a sports earbud and the S4 microphone. Pluses: private conversation, battery does not go dead on the phone, can receive text message privately, and so far it seems I am going to be able to read a book on the galaxy if I want to etc. Cons: expense of the galaxy S4 and the Power 2 Go system. Broadened horizons is a good firm, I bought from them the years ago when they came out with a emergency-carry sling and although I've never used it, it gives me some peace of mind in case I have to get out of the house, and I am not in a wheelchair. I cannot comment on how good the Power 2 Go system is in the long run, but I am very satisfied with that so far. I also love the galaxy S4 am I have been using it since March. Tell us a bit about yourself, as much as you are comfortable with, and we'll tell you about us and if you have questions there is probably somebody on here will have some ideas, it is a fantastic talented group. Joan Some people make it happen Some people have it happen to them And some people say just what happened?

these options are "hands-free" but require the person to activate a switch http://www.specialneedscomputers.ca/index.php?l=product_detail&p=2102 http://www.specialneedscomputers.ca/index.php?l=product_detail&p=2730 http://gettecla.com/products/tecla-shield-dos On Fri, Sep 26, 2014 at 8:30 AM, Larry Hopkins wrote: > I am a new subscriber to Quad-List & and I need y'alls help desperately. > I am a high-level quadriplegic without a telephone.

Re: [QUAD-L] Hands-free telephone
With the commute you simply say BlueAnt speak to me and then it asks what you want to do. You then give the command phone commands. When the phone activates, you simply say call Joe on mobile.

Re: [QUAD-L] Hands-free telephone
my grandmother has a Samsung galaxy, answers by just saying "answer". To place a call however, she has to press one button, then says "call" followed by the person's name.
