ABOUT
ALS is a disease that leaves people completely immobile and silent.
Technologies exist to help patients communicate again, but their cost makes them inaccessible to 90% of people.
The cameras included in Samsung tablets have the eye tracking and recognition technology normally used for facial recognition but, with the necessary software, they can be used for much more.
The free TALLK app uses the Samsung tablet camera to locate pupils and other facial landmarks, and translates their movements into a predictive virtual keyboard.
