About this app

Look to Speak is an Android app from Google which enables you to use your eyes to select a menu of phrases and pictures and have them spoken aloud. The app uses the front-facing camera to detect eye gaze gestures, processing the feed in real time using machine learning. When a significant gesture is detected, the app will trigger your intended action. All data is private and never leaves the device.

Huge potential but you can only do 20 phrases? So its still just an experiment and not useful. I went out and bought an Android tablet and downloaded it hoping to help my mother that can not speak after a stroke. She can just point to a list easier than this. if it had categories of phrases and levels it would be useful. I hope they develop this into a real app. Right now its just a simple example and not worth downloading. I wish they would have more details about what it can really do

The look left right up for navigation is good. But it lacks a typing by eyes mode. I had to write the alphabet by myself, but that doesn't have a word or sentence forming assist feature, so I have to write each letter down manually. Good app, but it needs more features. If you open source this or provide eye tracking API, that would be great, so I can modify it to suit my mom's needs.

To be able to help paralyzed people around the world to speak, other languages shall be added. And to make it useful for paralyzed children (who dont know how to read) a selection between list of symbols of basic essential needs can be added in addition to the list of words. Recognizing head movement to add more commands could also be a good option to add. Great job, keep it up

To be frank the app works quite well but you have to look at the extremes a lot... The iris detector should be more sensitive because there is only very small angle between the left and the right extreme of the device which we use... Not only that since the angle depends on the distance between our head and the device... The app should also specify the right distance in order for working efficiently!

App with lots of potential. I had it say.. Hey Google call...... And my google nest did the call. This can extend to smart lights etc. keep up the good work. Can be very useful for a handicapped individual I unfortunately could not have it working with my Blue Light reading glasses and it was much slower with my regular reading glasses it went perfect without glasses.
