Thanks for all your responses. I just don’t think that having head phones or ear buds will work. That means that he will either have them on all the time or quickly put them on when he gets a call. I don’t think he will be able to react that quickly to answer the call.
I tried to show him how to quickly turn on voice over when he receives a call and then do a two finger double tap. Again, too much for him to do in a short period of time. Voice command is an interesting possibility. I will experiment with this some to check out the feasibility.

Otherwise, there are some issues with it hearing VoiceOver and confusing it. The bottom line in this use case though is I do not think it will help for answering the phone. I would like to be wrong about that.

In fact, this is logical when not using any external listening devices. The mike is constantly listening and so may react in unexpected ways to a word or phrase spoken by Voiceover. So, if you want/need to use voice control, do so with an external device with a microphone. I love voice control for many situations and only wish it could be used to activate features of programs once opened.
