Voice Commands and Read Aloud for Elderly Phone Users
Easy Phone can speak to your relative and understand simple spoken commands. It uses the voice that is already on the phone; nothing is downloaded or installed.
How much should it speak?
In the family settings open Voice and choose:
- Only when asked: speaks only when a "read aloud" button is pressed.
- Important moments: says who is calling, reminders and warnings. Never at night, never during a call, never the same thing twice.
- Everything aloud: for poor eyesight, also every button, every message and every screen, like a helper next to them.
Even with Everything aloud, the phone stays silent at night (22:00–07:00), during calls and when it is on silent.
Choose Which voice and the Speed (Slow, Normal, Fast), then tap Listen to try it.
Voice commands
- Turn on Microphone button on the home screen.
- Your relative presses it and says what they want, for example:
- "Call Ayşe"
- "What time is it?"
- "When is the next prayer?"
- "I took my medicine"
- "Louder"
On the big keyboard they can also speak instead of typing, and Read what I wrote checks the text.
"This phone has no speech recognition"? Install or update the Google app. No voice for the language? Choose one in the phone’s settings › Language › Text-to-speech.
