Unique Phone situation

In my business we have a Verizon store. I have a customer who has no hands, he has hooks that split apart to grasp things. He is a truck driver and has been using the old style bag phone. He would use speaker phone to talk and he could press the buttons. Now that Verizon is doing away with analog, he is being forced to get a new digital phone. Most phones are a flip and he cannot open them. ALso the buttons are too small and close together for him to press. We were thinking of setting him up with a bluetooth speaker phone (clips onto the viser) and mount the phone in his truck, and just leave the phone open and plugged in. He could use the voice activated commands to dial. But I have used voice activated command and dont like it all that much. You have to repeat yourself a lot. Does anyone have any ideas for a setup for this guy? Maybe some device that could be attached to the phone, bluetooth or wired, that could allow him to press buttons. thanks

Voice recognition should be good enough to recognize spoken numbers. It will understand quite a few words too.
