Comcast Xfinity X1 control for people with disabilities

Xfinity X1 eye control is a web-based remote for tablets and computers. 

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.
