Surfboard Voice Activated Remote

Is it difficult for you to see or press the buttons on a TV remote? Then try the latest in voice activated technology, The Surfboard™ Voice Activated TV Remote! The Surfboard™ universal remote can control the volume, change the channels or turn on the TV by responding to your voice.

The unique Surfboard™ "Help" button talks you through the automated setup for your TV, cable or satellite equipment. Although it requires more programming, you can also use the unit with a VCR, DVD player or a Tivo box. If the brand you use is not in the library of codes, the Surfboard™ can learn the commands from the existing remote control. That means if you buy a new TV, you won't have to worry about compatibility!

Whether you have low vision, arthritic hands or are a gadget lover, the Surfboard Voice Activated Remote is easy and fun to use.

• The Surfboard™ is designed to listen for a specific keyword (factory set to "Surfboard") and then your command.

• The Surfboard™ comes with 5 pre-programmed (speaker independent) commands:
  

  • Power
  • Channel up
  • Channel down
  • Previous
  • Favorite

• If you'd prefer, you can replace the pre-programmed commands with up to 12 of your own. You can use these commands for access to other features and functions you use regularly. You can also create a customized keyword for waking up the remote.

• The factory set listen time is set to 10 minutes, but can be extended to 1 hour, 4 hours or forever. (The battery charger and 4 "AAA" rechargeable batteries (not included) is advised if you would like the remote to have a listening time that is longer than 10 minutes.)

We found the Surfboard™ to be very easy to install in simple TV/Cable or TV/Satellite situations. Additional devices are not difficult to install, but it is time consuming to follow the instructions and do the necessary programming. So leave yourself plenty of time to get the whole installation just the way you want it.

"I received the "Surfboard" tv remote that I ordered for my quadriplegic buddy. I set it up, and he was controlling the tv in a matter of minutes. At this point in his life, it is the only thing he has control of. The smile on his face was worth many times the cost of the remote. It is a great product and I highly recommend it for those who have limited or no use of their hands...Thanks for offering such a product." B.R., Ellwood City, PA

"I am a quadriplegic, and my arms have recently contracted making pushing buttons on a standard remote control impossible. The remote works wonderfully. It was easy to setup and train. I actually get to watch complete programs now instead of pieces of them waiting for someone to change the channel." E.Z., Lafayette, LA

"I have been researching voice-activated remote controls as I'm a quadriplegic and I was looking for an easier way to control my TV etc. I have found that the SurfBoard remote is superior to most of its competitors in that it uses a command prompt before it accepts a voice command. This way the remote-control will not pickup any stray noises thus changing the channel by picking up background noises. Background noise interference has been the number one complaint of it's competitors.Thank you for producing such a fine product that isreliable!" J.R., Milford, NH
