I sympathize. There aren't a lot of options for people with disability or disease conditions that impair their mobility who still want to interact with their PC. Most speech products are transcription products, and then there's Cortana which I've never really used. But there is one product I can recommend, called "tazti" speech recognition.
I know a number of disabled people who use tazti to control their PC and play video games. It's *not* dictation software like Dragon, only command and control for the PC. You create custom speech commands and then specify what they do - Basic PC functions, mouse and keyboard, sending keystrokes, running programs or opening files or bat files etc. It doesn't control mouse movement but it lets you click and double click the mouse. And you can group commands together for profiles - for example you can have a different custom profile for each program or game, and you turn on and off the profiles using your voice. And you can download some pre-build profiles.
The other big thing about tazti is that's it highly customizable. You an create Macro commands activated by voice for games or programs as well. And they have good customer support as well.
It's really neat, and while it may not provide 100% coverage for your mom, it covers a whole lot of ground and may be really helpful to her, a big improvement over what what she currently has.
Anyway, like I said, I know disabled gamers who use it to play games, and people with disabilities who use it to interact with their PC. It's worth checking out. The URL is https://tazti.com/.
Sorry, didn't mean to imply that the earliest documents were related to Maimonides, just that there were very early manuscripts and also his documents were also discovered there. When I was at the British Museum they had a letter of Maimonides prominently displayed. I wonder if it was acquired from the Cairo Genizah trove.
What's involved/required in hosting a party here? Do I have to pay food and drinks for a bunch of people I don't know if I want to get something going?
