Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K (Gen 2) | NDIS Voice Control Aid

Control your environment with the power of your voice. The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K is a versatile piece of low-cost assistive technology designed to support NDIS participants with physical disabilities, fine motor limitations, or visual impairments.

Standard TV remotes with small, rubbery buttons can be impossible to use for individuals with arthritis, tremors, or low vision. This device replaces the need for complex physical inputs. By using the Alexa Voice Remote, participants can simply press a button (or use a paired Echo device for hands-free control) and say "Launch Netflix" or "Find Action Movies," promoting independence in daily leisure activities.

How This Device Supports NDIS Participants

Vision Impairment Support (VoiceView): The built-in VoiceView Screen Reader speaks on-screen text, allowing blind and low-vision users to navigate menus, read program descriptions, and adjust settings independently. It also supports high-contrast text and screen magnification.

Physical & Motor Accessibility: For users who struggle to press buttons or navigate complex on-screen keyboards, Alexa Voice commands provide a shortcut. You can control power, volume, and content selection with voice, reducing physical fatigue.

Hearing Support: The device allows you to stream audio directly to Bluetooth headphones. This enables users with hearing loss to listen at a higher volume without disturbing others, or helps those with sensory sensitivities block out environmental noise.

Smart Home Integration: Beyond TV, this stick turns your television into a smart home hub. View live feeds from security cameras (safety) or control smart lights/plugs via the remote, centralizing environmental control for users with limited mobility.

Key Features & Benefits

VoiceView Screen Reader: Award-winning accessibility feature that provides spoken feedback for navigation, ensuring total access for blind users.
Alexa Voice Remote: Search and launch content using voice commands, bypassing the need for fine motor precision on a keypad.
Bluetooth Audio: Connect hearing aids (via streamers) or headphones directly for clear, personalized audio volume.
Wi-Fi 6 Support: Ensures a smooth, lag-free connection for high-quality streaming, even in households with multiple devices.
Compact & Portable: Plug-and-play design allows the user to take their accessible setup with them to respite care, hospitals, or hotels.
