Hello Erich B.!

At one time, I was thinking of gifting a tablet to an aunt of  
mine, so that she could enjoy photos that people could send her  
and look up stuff she might be interested in.  Given that she  
is crippled with arthritis, a voice activated way to accomplish  
things would be the best way. But she doesn't pronounce words  
"normally", and given that she lives about 280kms away, it is  
not feasible to train the device for the nuances.

The idea was to use one of the Amazon Fire tablets + Alexa.
