voice controlled camera?

[bee4bee]

does anyone know of a camera that can be controlled by voice?  Ideally with a decent zoom, touch screen and easy wireless transfer to a cloud [eg Google photos]  does such a camera exist? Sony or any other brand?/

Hello @bee4bee,

there are certain action cams which you can at least start and stop the recording with your voice, but no camcorder with zoom and other professional features allows that.

Look up "Pluto Trigger", it may help you.

thnx for ur reply [and perseverance].  i'll look it up.

i'm looking for a voice controlled camera as i have extremely limited dexterity - i am unable to operate buttons, dials and any other fiddly controls. currently i'm using a samsung galaxy camera, which  can be controlled by voice [zoom in/out, capture, take a video], it has a touchscreen and, being android-based, automatically backs up photos to google photos.  it also has 21x optical zoom.  however, it was released in 2012, the version of android is obsolete, every 2 weeks i have to restore the factory settings.  i'm looking for a replacement, but have drawn a blank so far.  a friend told me they'd seen a sony camera that has voice commands, but with the pandemic it's impossible to check it out in stores 😞
