Forsee
A speech keyboard for people who talk with their eyes.
Forsee lets you type by looking at keys and speaks what you write out loud. It works with eye trackers and head pointers that move the mouse, and with touch screens. It is designed for conversation, so it is quick to speak, quick to correct, and has short replies like “Yes”, “No” and “Help” one look away.
It is free and open source, and it works without an internet connection. Nothing you type or say leaves your computer.
Download
On a Mac
Open the downloaded file and drag Forsee into the Applications folder. Then open it from Applications. Macs with an Intel processor are not supported yet.
On Windows
Double-click the downloaded file. Forsee installs and opens by itself.
Forsee keeps itself up to date: new versions download in the background and install the next time you close it.
An early version
This is version 0.2. It is usable, but still young, and we would love to hear how it works for you. If you rely on eye gaze, support someone who does, or work in AAC or speech therapy, please get in touch at jeanmarc (at) empathy.works or on GitHub.
