Have you tried a Bluetooth headset but found that you can't easily press the small button that is required to activate the headset?  We have solved that problem with our own EasyBlue!™ switch adapted headset which allows you to operate the headset using an accessible ability switch instead of the small hard to reach button found on all Bluetooth headsets.  Connect any standard TASH ability switch, sip-n-puff switch, or wheelchair ECU port into the ETOEngineering.com EasyBlue!™'s jack, then simply press your accessible switch to make, answer or end calls from your Bluetooth cell phone.  There is no need to press that tiny button on the Bluetooth headset or any buttons on the phone. 

• Use the TASH ability switch, sip-n-puff switch, or wheelchair ECU port to:

   

  • Answer incoming calls

  • Hang up the telephone

  • Call contacts by name or by directly speaking their phone number

How it works

With your Bluetooth cell phone and the ETOEngineering.com EasyBlue!™ paired and turned on, simply press your TASH ability switch or use your sip-n-puff switch, or wheelchair ECU port to access the phone to make, receive, and hang up calls.  Although the ETOEngineering.com EasyBlue!™ will work with any Bluetooth cell phone with voice recognition, we highly recommend Bluetooth cell phones with VoiceSignal’s one-step, speaker independent, speech recognition software solution.  VoiceSignal is a free voice recognition software that is pre-installed on specific phone models.  Unfortunately the phone either has VoiceSignal software or it doesn't, it cannot be purchased and installed later except in very rare exceptions such as with the PalmOne Treo.  So you want to make sure that your Bluetooth cell phone has VoiceSignal voice recognition and you can access VSuite by pressing the button on a Bluetooth headset.  You can find out more information and a list of phones that support VSuite at the Nuance website.  

Some examples of how ETOEngineering.com EasyBlue!™ works with a VoiceSignal VSuite Bluetooth cell phone are shown below.
