ETO Engineering SwitchByVoice™ is a simple highly accurate and reliable voice activated solution providing two independent contact closures. Unlike other solutions, SwitchByVoice™ is activated by actual words, not simply by sounds or a specific loudness. The user can set up SwitchByVoice™ to activate based on preset command words such as "Toggle One", "Activate One", "Energize One" or by recording the users actual voice to trigger the outputs.

ETO Engineering, PLLC has partnered with SAJE Technologies LLC. This makes it even easier for physically disabled customers to quickly start to use their cell phones independently with access to SAJE's nationwide local dealers for purchasing, installation and support.
Why Accessible Cell Phones are Important to the Blind, Low Vision, Hard of Hearing, Quadriplegic or Physically Disabled?
It comes down to this
- Safety: Cell phones can be taken and used anywhere. Although everyone in the industry has a disclaimer that cell phones should not be relied on in an emergency, especially voice recognition, that is usually one of the main reasons that cell phones are so important
- Independence: It's increasingly difficult to find public phones much less carry exact change. For people who rely on public transportation, cell phones provide a means of calling for and checking on their transportation. Cell phones also give people the confidence to get out and go places, knowing that they can get help if needed.
- Business: Personally I don't know how small businesses were ever run prior to cell phones and MapQuest. If you are a professional, especially someone who has to be out of the office at times, then you need a cell phone in today's economy.
- Cost: If you can get on a family plan, the overall cost for cell phone service on a monthly basis can be much less than the cost for using landline service. For the same cost of landline service, you can get a cell phone that you can use anywhere, not just at home.
- Entertainment: You can find all-in-one devices to play music, videos, games, web, email, sms in addition to phone calls.
