Roku Remote on Windows
https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9pb287g9c68d?hl=en-us&gl=US
Description
A remote control for your Roku streaming device. This app will auto-discover all available Roku devices on your local network and allow you to control them. If auto discover fails you can add your device manually by IP address. !!WARNING!! This app will either work wonderfully for you or not at all. It's a limitation of how Rokus work, sorry. Your Rokus and the computer this app is running on HAVE to be on the same, unrestricted network. Your best bet is having the computer and Rokus either connected to the EXACT same wifi network, or all plugged into the same ethernet network. If you're interested in the technical details on how it works you can visit our GitHub site. If the app works for you please leave a rating! Bug reports and feature suggestions are welcome. The full source code for this app can be found on GitHub.

Comcast Xfinity X1 control for people with disabilities
I think it's great! I access my computer with a sip and puff to move the mouse and input text. I found this easy to use in Edge. Before this was available I was using an Android emulator in Windows 10 and the Android Xfinity app. I like being able to type voice commands. This is a great feature! I was able to type "netflix" and "prime video" and navigate those as well. So much quicker to use than navigating the Xfinity menu
With the phone app, I experienced more delay. This web-based app is more responsive. The phone app you need swipe between screens to access commands. The Harmony app has the same problem. This has everything one screen. I really like the "type voice command" box. I can type "game of thrones" and it takes me directly to the on-demand page for it.
Here is the article when launched: https://corporate.comcast.com/press/releases/comcast-launches-eye-control-for-television
Xfinity customers visit xfin.tv/access and use their credentials to pair the web-based remote with their set-top-box.
