Any iphone app that uses siri to start a voice memo without needing to press the red button? (self.Blind)
submitted by turbotub
Hi, my blind relative is quite old and has very low dexterity. He needs a way to record memos that is purely voice-activated.

Siri opens the voice memo app, but then a user has to press the record button.

Happy to move over to Samsung if there's anything on the market.

Surely a hands-free voice memo app exists?

thanks a lot

iOS 13.1 has a feature called voice control where the phone can fully be controlled without touching the phone at all. You can even navigate to where you need it to be by saying swipe left or right with your voice. You might want to give this feature a try. You can turn it on by going to accessibility then touch and selecting voice control

iOS 13 has voice control which lets you do just about anything on the phone using your voice rather than the screen. Maybe try that. I've been on the beta for a while, I'm not sure when the official release drops though. It's probably soon-ish.

Download Just Press Record, create a shortcut in Siri which will automatically start recording when the shortcut is invoked.
