Welcome to the Future

For many of us, using voice commands to turn on lights or change channels on our TV is a luxury, but for those with limited mobility, voice activated solutions such as these can be life changing, both for the individual as well as their caregivers. Bill and Deb Weis had the pleasure of meeting and working with Carrie and Robbie Ivey in the summer of 2017, and the need for this website was inspired from the work they did with them. Soon after the Ivey project, they were joined by an old Digital and Microsoft colleague (John Hollcraft) whose talents helped our company mature and achieve 501(c)(3) status. Robbie (pictured here) is a young man with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. This website represents a grass roots effort to bring awareness to what can be done with voice activation today, both out-of- the-box solutions as well as custom developed solutions. We also want to build a library of guidance documentation to supplement what might already exist in an effort to simplify installations. Finally, we want a way of gathering requirements for other unmet needs in hopes we can work towards solving those problems we don’t yet know. Voice activated solutions can be beneficial for anyone with limited mobility regardless of the cause whether that be from debilitating diseases, the battlefield, accident victims or other health related issues. I love the quote from Robbie that is contained in the MDA Blog where Robbie said, “I’ve regained independence by being able to control all the things in my room that I use every day”.
