I have seen on TV a remote that you can talk to and program the VCR etc.
It should work for a TV as well.  I don't know what it was called or
where to find it, though.

Unfortunatly this is not a joke.  Got a 19" combo emerson that is so
full of smoke--I can't really describe how bad.  She also sent a second
similar unit for parts.  Apparenty she is nearly blind and has this
remote down pat, and does not want a new panasonic (with timer--her
primary neccesity in this set) because she don't want to have to learn a
new remote.  Is there such a thing as a braille---or talking remote.
Just wondering?   Would need it for a new panson    And  Yes,  I could
fix the combo---with a face mask, but it does have some serious issues (
bad capstan/mode switch. other normal mechanical things.  Blown
regulator.)   Age (1991)and estimate make it easily NWR
