If your relative can get use to voice commands, instead of pressing buttons, that usually works well too. For example, using the Roku remote capable of voice commands, I use the Spectrum app for a good portion of my streaming. I just say, "Hey Roku, Open spectrum app" and it turns on the TV and opens the app. You could print the voice command list on a paper, and for most instances, no button presses needed.
Using the mic actually turns On the TV? And then opens the app? I had NO idea. THIS may be VERY helpful. My relative has YouTube TV through Roku but has trouble w/the remote because the buttons aren't labeled and they're small. The volume and mute buttons being on the side don't help.
Should have mentioned 1st, they have a Streaming Stick 4K w/Voice Remote, so this may be doable. Having to press only 1 button for most functions would definitely be a plus; I didn't realize using the mic was such a flexible option. I have a Stick as well and am going to try turning On the TV and opening an app!
Thank You!...volleydrummer.
It has its quirks at times, but I hardly ever use the power button to turn on the TV or open the app. I can't say it works for all brands of TVs for turning on, but it works with my LG and Samsung. I would say as long as your brand is listed in the remote-control section of the settings, it should be fine. Then if you are looking for a specific program you can also use that to find a specific show/movie or app by voice as well, no button pushing required. I have Ultras, so I don't know if those features are different on the stick, but I would assume it would be the same.
