Type with your eyes
For someone a stroke, injury or illness has left unable to speak or move: the front camera watches the face, the letters scan on their own, and a long blink (or opening the mouth, or raising the eyebrows) selects. Type a word and the phone says it out loud. Ready phrases for hospital and home. No special device, no upload — all in the browser.

How to use it
- Put the phone or laptop in front of the face in good light, press «Start» and allow the camera.
- Rows highlight one by one. When the row you need lights up, blink long (or open your mouth, per the setting), then the same on the letter.
- Choose the «Speak» row so the phone says the sentence out loud. Slow the scan if it feels fast.
Questions
How is this different from medical eye-trackers?
Medical devices track your gaze precisely and cost thousands. This relies on automatic scanning and a simple face signal, so it works on any phone in reasonable light — slower, but instant and free.
What if the patient can't blink on purpose?
Choose another signal: mouth opening or eyebrow raise. There is also a large on-screen button a carer can press when needed.
Is the video stored?
No. The camera is analysed on the device in real time; nothing is sent or saved.

A whole row: yes, no, pain, water, tired, call the nurse, thank you — spoken with one selection. A coming update lets you add your own.
