Which apple computers will allow my mom to initiate voice control of her computer just by using her voice?

I want to know what apple desktop computer I need to buy to allow my mom to initiate voice control of the computer only by her voice. She can't see the buttons or the keys. I want her to be able to start applications using her voice. Is this possible? I have called Apple. They sent me a link. The link babbles and babbles and babbles and babbles about how mighty and wonderful Apple voice recognition system is, without ever saying a thing but blowing bigger and bigger bubbles of hype. Ten to one I will have to ask this question on reddit for any chance of getting an answer to the question but I thought I would waste another half hour of my life registering with this online form to ask the question. So far I have spent 15 minutes trying to set up a user profile and ask the question in this space but -- lol -- so far it has been forcing me to select from a drop down list of a whole bunch of different apple computers and the problem is, I don't KNOW which apple computer might have this ability. That is part of the question!

This may be a good starting point: Use Voice Control on your Mac - Apple Support


Of course, it might be the same link since you didn't say.


I suggest you contact an organization that deals specifically with the sight impaired, They are the experts.


I have a blind friend who uses voice control, but he uses Windows. Honestly, I've never seen a voice controlled Mac. But I doubt Apple would let Microsoft get too far ahead of them, if at all.
