For those that are familiar with X-box One video game console (which I got for its voice control ability I can change channels, go on net flex…etc. Its great!) I recommend it to all those who have a physical disability especially those who have limited arm movement, However, recently they had an update and they did away with a feature that helps you use your voice to search the web( I can go to a specific website but once I’m on the website I can’t say "click on" an individual link anymore. So, i’m stuck looking at the same website I was wondering if I get enough people to sign my petition so microsoft will fix this issue!

I really thought this might just be me shouting into a void but seeing all this activity is honestly surreal. It feels like we are actually hitting a nerve because navigation without those voice commands is just impossible and I am so glad people get why this matters.

We'er rooting for this Joey. Don't know why they would do away with this good feature which gives variety and choice
The decision to remove voice control for the disable seems wrong headed. Certainly you can afford it.
You have the technology for the voice control feature to search individual websites- not just activate them. Please re- implement this feature for those with limited hand & arm mobility.
Please reinstate "click on" to view an individual link. It is a necessity for those with muscular dystrophy.
X-Box has the market on this feature. Many were using its voice control ability. Please offer it again.
Microsoft needs to create a new update that puts full support of voice recognition back in every application and game.
Please put voice recognition back on x-box to help those with disabilities who are unable to make the desired changes manually.
