Google’s ‘Look to Speak’ app

Google has launched its ‘Look to Speak’ app to enable better communication for those with speech and motor disabilities. The app was introduced through an ad at the 94th Academy Awards in Los Angeles. The app expresses how a look can say a lot without saying anything. The app makes use of Google voice assistant while the eyes navigate to guide the pre-written phrases to be said out loud from the phone. The inbuilt technology reads the eye movements to come up with the phrases. Antoinette Fernandes, who has been diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) since the year 2019, is featured in the ad. She uses the app in order to communicate with her daughter.

In the Academy Awards of the year 2021, Google featured the story of a child of deaf adults (CODA) Tony, and how by utilizing helpful technologies such as Google Meet, Live Captions, Tony along with his family can spend valuable time with each other and communicate.

In 2020, language and speech therapist Richard Cave, told in Google’s blog “Conversations can now happen with more ease, where previously silence may have prevailed and am looking forward to witness those”
