This is an innovative accessibility app that allows you to freely operate your iPhone just by moving your eyes. Track your gaze in real-time using ARKit's facial recognition technology. Even people who cannot use their hands and fingers as they would like can still type, communicate, and browse the web just by moving their eyes. ■ Line of sight dial You can operate the keyboard, which supports Japanese 50 sounds and English QWERTY, just by looking at it. Characters are entered just by looking at them (dwell input), and predictive conversion makes it even smoother. It also supports finger tapping. ■ Voice reading Read the entered text out loud on the spot. We provide easy support for communication for people who have difficulty expressing themselves. ■ Fixed phrase panel Pre-register frequently used words such as "Thank you" and "Give me some water." You can quickly call it up with your gaze and read it aloud right away. ■ Bookmark If you save frequently visited web pages, you can quickly access them using eye movements. ■ Calibration Custom adjust gaze accuracy according to eye characteristics. You can set the operation feeling that is best for your eyes. --- This app requires a TrueDepth camera (iPhone with a depth sensor on the front camera). This app is a must-use for people who have difficulty operating a smartphone due to physical conditions such as ALS, muscular dystrophy, spinal cord injury, or the aftereffects of a stroke, as well as their families and supporters. Towards a world where everyone can freely express their will. SightKey turns your "eyes" into your "hands." --- Support site: https://adolfoi.info/ Privacy Policy: https://adolfoi.info/page_id197/ Terms of Use: https://adolfoi.info/page_id501/ Contact us: https://adolfoi.info/support/ A Premium subscription (separate purchase) is required to use this app. After purchase, you can use all features, including eye-gaze browsing, text input, phrases, bookmarks, and advanced settings.

Prism AAC helps nonverbal children and adults talk. Tap pictures, build sentences, and hear them spoken aloud — in 25 languages, on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. Core communication is free and works without an account or an internet connection: communication boards with 22 categories, a keyboard with word prediction, saved phrases, device voices and cached speech, on-device AI, visual schedules, therapeutic games and emergency communication. No ads. No data harvesting. Your child's voice never depends on WiFi. PRISM AAC CLOUD — optional subscription US$4.99 per month adds a monthly allowance of 50,000 newly generated natural-voice speech characters and 100 cloud AI requests. Cached playback and device voices never use the allowance. The allowance resets on the first day of each month (00:00 UTC), and there are no overage charges. The same subscription works on iOS and on the web with one account. Boards, saved phrases, cached speech, device voices, on-device AI and emergency communication stay available without a subscription and after one ends. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. The subscription renews automatically each month unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and it can be managed or cancelled in your Apple Account settings after purchase. WHY PRISM AAC - Privacy first: on-device AI keeps your words on your device - Works offline: boards, saved phrases and cached speech need no connection - Apple Watch: communicate directly from your wrist - 25 languages, including Simplified, Traditional and Hong Kong Chinese - Customizable vocabulary, grid size, themes and motor accommodations - Hands-free input: head tracking, switch scanning, gestures and voice - Caregiver tools: schedules, notes, insights and a caregiver PIN Terms of Use: https://synalux.ai/terms Privacy Policy: https://synalux.ai/privacy
