I am disabled (quadriplegic) and therefore cannot press the answer and hang up buttons on my smartphone to answer a phone call. On my Samsung S6 EDGE phone (Android 7), there is a function in the settings to pick up the phone by saying "answer". The problem is that since Android 8, this function no longer exists.

As I would like to change my telephone, I would not like to find myself unprepared. That's why I would like to know if it would be possible that I could make from an application or a script a system that allows me to press the pick up a button and hang up the phone when I say "pick up" or "hang up".

  • "Alice" - a friend recommended me this app few years ago - he used this for hands free text-to-speech listening incoming sms, make phone calls etc while driving car. the link is free pro-version of this (not in store). note: I haven't tested this app but guess you need help for initial setup. sure there are similar/better apps in google play store out there

The accessibility app Voice Access might help.

According to Get started with Voice Access spoken commands, some of the prerequisites:

  • Only available in English, Spanish, German, Italian, or French.
  • Requires Android version 5.0 or later.
  • Requires Google app.

According to Use Voice Access commands, after Voice Access is enabled, it is at least possible to answer a call by saying "answer call".

Answer calls

If you receive a call, you can answer it by saying "Answer call."

Another option is a WearOS watch that links to your phone and comes with voice assistant. https://wearos.google.com/intl/en_ca/#works-on The added bonus being that the phone can stay in your pocket or a belt clip/ holster ! You may even find one that is compatible with your current phone.
