I have bought a Portal TV for my father who has Parkinson's disease, his ability to speak is greatly reduced by muscular tension in his mouth and throat. he can gesture, thumbs up wave smile etc. but his voice is extremely quiet. I truly believed that the remote-control mic would work all the time and be sensitive to speech for the user when on a call, I don't see why it shouldn't be. Bit disappointed to be honest. I guess he'll have to carry on making a phone call and taking over the phone while he gestures using the Portal TV. It's a thumbs down from me and my dad!!!!!!
