Having been publicly released, Voice Control is beyond the experimental stage, but many of its features need refining.
That said, Voice Control is excellent for granular control of UI elements and for simulating and/or obviating swipe gestures. For example, "Go Home" replaces swiping up from bottom.
Voice Control also actively listens to everything as potential input. So, if an input field is active, merely speaking will trigger speech-to-text in that field. The accuracy is sometimes startling.
On the other hand, watching video with Voice Control active will result in Voice Control suggesting available commands (because Voice Control will interpret some of the audio as invalid [or sometimes valid!] commands).
I am not (yet) touch or motor impaired, but Voice Control is a godsend for hands-free manipulation of the UI. I hope your mum finds it similarly helpful.
