Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Look to Speak is an Android app from Google which enables you to use your eyes to select a menu of phrases and pictures and have them spoken aloud. The app uses the front-facing camera to detect eye gaze gestures, processing the feed in real time using machine learning. When a significant gesture is detected, the app will trigger your intended action. All data is private and never leaves the device.
