About

Ghostalker Lite

This app simulates a spirit box by converting sensor data into spoken words. It utilizes device sensors like vibration, GPS, and magnetic fields to generate output for paranormal investigation or entertainment. Users interpret the spoken words to understand potential messages.

Highlights
  • Converts sensor data to spoken words
  • Utilizes vibration, GPS, gyroscope, light, magnetic fields, proximity sensors
  • Database of over a thousand common words
  • Displays and speaks generated words
  • Calibrate function to tune out background variance
  • Enable/disable individual sensors

Whether you are a professional Paranormal Investigator, a hobbyist or just want to have some fun, this app works like a "Spirit Box" reading data from your sensors and turning it into spoken words. IMPORTANT: Do NOT hold your device and do NOT shake or tap your device while running Ghostalker LITE. It is designed to detect the smallest movements and vibration, as well as changes in electromagnetic fields, light, proximity etc. With a database of over a thousand commonly used words, Ghostalker Lite will read changes in all of the sensors it can find in your device. This includes sensors for the tiniest amount of vibration, rotation, GPS, gyroscope, light, magnetic fields, proximity etc. and convert them to words which it will display and speak. This app uses the actual raw data from the sensors to determine what to say, rather than picking one at random like some other apps. TIP 1: Paranormal investigators believe that leaving such devices running for as long as possible will allow "spirits" to learn what energy is required to trigger certain words. TIP 2: If it starts to trigger words constantly you may be getting interference from something close by. Try moving the device somewhere else or tap the 'Calibrate' button to get it to tune out background variance (although you will lose some sensitivity). TIP 3: Occasionally interference can cause individual sensors to trigger constantly. This can also be caused by faulty or overly sensitive sensors. From v0.2 you can now enable and disable individual sensors to prevent such issues. The LITE version of Ghostalker shows the last 10 words spoken but does NOT log those words, it does NOT include the log viewer, and it does NOT allow you to create a custom dictionary of words. If you like this app and want these extra features, please download the full "Ghostalker" app. This app is not designed to form complete sentences so it is up to you to interpret what it says in your own way. Top end phones and tablets tend to have more sensors than low end ones but the app is designed to work with whatever hardware it can find. The sensitivity of sensors will also vary between devices. If the app does not do what you were expecting, or there is an issue with it running on your device, please contact me for help. There are no adverts in this software and it does not require an Internet connection.

GhostAI uses A.I. (a neural net) and your device sensors to build, log & say sentences. Use all available sensors in your device to detect vibration, movement, rotation, and changes in magnetic fields, proximity, light etc. along with custom-built Artificial Intelligence (machine learning) to build sentences. Suitable for professional and amateur paranormal investigators, it is simple enough to use by everyone - even just for fun. NOTE: Do NOT hold, shake or tap your device when using GhostAI. It is specifically designed to detect the tiniest of vibrations. FEATURES include: + Uses the REAL raw sensor data and custom A.I. to build sentences. + Speaks the sentences (using text-to-speech) and logs the sentences to access later. + Includes a built-in log viewer. + Export logs in text/CSV format to use or share in other apps. For example spreadsheets, email, cloud storage. + Turn individual sensors on/off if they receive too much interference or are faulty. + No adverts or in-app purchases. + Does NOT require an internet connection to work. + Does not require any special permissions, apart from GPS access to read changes in movement and storage access to save log files. IMPORTANT INFORMATION to remember: + No information on your device is used to teach the neural net. + Do not expect perfect grammar or sentence structure. By using the real raw sensor data from your device it may not always make sense so you will need to interpret what it says and decide if it is relevant. + Do NOT believe everything that it displays. + If it says anything offensive or bad, consider it interference. + If you are at all worried, turn the app off and take a break. You can always try again later. TIPS: + If it starts to trigger sentences constantly you may be getting interference from something close by. This can include electrical wiring which can cause electromagnetic interference. Try moving the device somewhere else or tap the ‘Calibrate’ button to get it to tune out background variance (although you will lose some sensitivity). + If your sensors continue to trigger too much, you can try switching your device into ‘flight’ mode. This will disable all networking features (which GhostAI does not require) but should leave local sensors enabled. + You can see which sensors are being triggered by tapping the “Settings” button. The ones that turn blue are seeing changes above the threshold. If you think a sensor may be faulty or too sensitive, you can tap it to disable/enable it.
