I'm in a similar predicament, James, due to a muscular dystrophy known 
as Duchenne that has left me quadriplegic from atrophy. I can barely 
operate a rollerball mouse (but I'm of course grateful for that small 
favor for as long as it lasts). I was wondering, are these devices 100% 
voice activated, or do you need to be able to hit a 'wake' button to use 
them? I doubt I'd be able to reach and press the button in most cases.
