Parrot Speak to Call: Hands free phone software

As we saw in the previous post, spinal cord injuries or paralysis may render useless arms. Anyone with not so good motor skills also have difficulty using their fingers and hands to perform daily operations, making them dependent on others around them to do things. One of those things may be getting help to make and receive phone calls - a process that seems simple enough, but without the use of weapons, can be a bit challenging. It is quite possible that someone may not be all the time, and waiting for a friend or caregiver to come check on them may be the only option for a lot of people.

To alleviate this problem, Loro "Speak to Call" provides a very convenient solution. A software that runs on Windows PC with Dragon Naturally Speaking and Microsoft Speech (comes with Windows), Loro helps make and receive phone calls using only speech. The interface is very simple and minimalist with only the essential items displayed. The software comes with some "lists" of their own (family, friends, professionals and business and labor), to which you can add contact information and phone numbers. Of course, it gives you the ability to add more if the four lists also it comes with are not enough. With only one word commands, parrot can making and receiving calls a breeze. Check out the quick video below to see Loro "Speak to Call" in action.

Installation is very simple (make sure you know how to activate its voice recognition software). The best part is you do not need a phone line or the need to connect it to your existing phone line. It works by itself and does not depend on other hardware accessories (except the USB headset to be used to make calls) that normally complicated setup and use, and make things difficult to fix if they break. When you register, you get a phone number as well.

A very good solution for people who do not have good motor skills or can not use their arms to cause paralysis and other injuries of the spinal cord. This software can also be used by bedridden or those who can not move much because of sickness or old age to call your caregiver to let them know if you need anything.

Registration only requires a $ 99 fee and a monthly fee of $ 39 for unlimited calling within the United States and Canada (month to month, no contract). $ 10 from each sale goes to charity too!
