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.

★★★★☆ Adam P · Feb 4, 2024

I'm excited to try this with my grandma who is in rehab and unable to communicate by conventional means. I created a phrasebook with essential phrases. I wish there was room for more, the 20 phrase limit seems arbitrary. I hope this app scales well, because I'll need to run this on a large tablet for it to be legible to her. My phrasebook: Yes. No. I understand. I do not understand. I need to think. I consent. I do not consent. Repeat that? More options?

★☆☆☆☆ luis roa · Jan 24, 2021

This app could be extremely helpful for people, but it doesn't really work as it should, instead of removing the phrases in order to make sure the person does say what they want to say, it does it randomly, making it difficult or impossible to actually say what you want to say. The eyes muscles will get tired in a short time, the app is not able apparently to change languages even though you have another one selected on the text to speech options, and can be very unresponsive at times.

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

★★☆☆☆ adrian nm · Dec 4, 2022

The idea is great, but it's not working in Redmi Note 11. The front camera is not detecting anything because it shows all green
