Is there an Accessory Setting that will allows verbal commands to the Camera App on an iPad?

i have an iPad, version 5, with iPadOS 14.4.2. I am a Post Stroke Survivor, with limited use of my light hand. Because of my disability, I have difficulty taking photos or videos. Is there a feature in Acessories Setting that will a user to verbally tell the camera to snap a photo and start/Stop a video recording. This would be really advantageous for me, since holding the iPad is sometimes difficult to do, while trying to snap a picture or trying to find the home button to start and stop a video


if a feature is not available, how can I tell Apple iPad Designers that this feature might be useful for a futureiPadOS?

iPad, iPadOS 14
