Comments on Look to Speak for Android

★★★★★ James Young · Jul 3, 2021

This is a great start, and awesome to see Google trying to help people with motor deficits! Could do with the ability to spell out words, form new sentences from words, and add them to the phrase book from the eye tracking UI. That would greatly improve its usefulness.

★★★★★ emilio chang · Sep 21, 2025

My friend recently had a stroke, he definitely can use this, can you add a look down feature to open up more phrases? That would be awesome 👍

For me, it is not working at all either on Android phone or tablet. On my phone it says "not able to detect eyes" while on tab only the snooze part is working. It's a nice idea for disabled people but seems like a lot of work needs to be done on this app. Please give option to users to debug the eye tracking. Also, please allow app to work in landscape mode (allow app rotation) as some tabs have camera installed in landscape mode.

It want to detect my eyes. I only get a bunch of lines and blurry green screen.

5 years ago there were eye tracking apps that let you type individual letters, now all I can find is this pitiful ripoff. What happened?

★★☆☆☆ Dudi Cohen · Mar 23, 2024

This is a great app for anyone except hebrew speaking. As of today there is no voice support in Hebrew which renders it useless. Have contacted support however no response from Google so far.
