If she wants to learn all the Voice Control commands, that could work, but is a lot. I think a better solution is one I just learned about. You can connect the Amazon Alexa app to your email and calendar and access your email and calendar totally hands free. I just tested it with my Microsoft email and calendar. Here is the welcome letter after setting this up which gives you an idea of what you can do. Congratulations on linking your calendar and email account with Alexa. Here are a few tips to get started.
Stay on top of your day "Alexa, what's on my calendar?" "Alexa, add a new event." "Alexa, check my email." "Alexa, cancel my appointment tomorrow." Alexa can help with reviewing your upcoming calendar, and can also add, delete, and move events to a new time. Check your emails, and reply, delete, or mark as important, and get more done hands-free. Never miss an important event Get calendar notifications from Alexa by visiting Settings > Calendar & Email in your Alexa app, and selecting the account you want to enable. Add Calendar and Email to your Alexa Routine Create an Alexa Routine, where a series of tasks are done with one command. For example, say "Alexa, good morning" and hear your schedule for the day, the weather, and your latest emails. "Alexa, good morning." "Alexa, start my day." To enable custom Routines in minutes, follow the steps in your Alexa app under Routines. Alexa is always getting smarter and adding new productivity features. Visit the Alexa Guide for the latest updates. As a reminder, your calendar and email may be available to anyone using your Alexa devices, and a copy of your linked calendar and email are stored in the cloud. ________________________________________ (c) 2021 Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.

She's a VoiceOver user. Is there a way to do this.
