Why we built I Have A Voice
A personal mission born from family
For some, words take everything they have
Until the 3rd of May 2025, he was a man who filled a room - warm, sharp, opinionated about the things that mattered, fluent in several languages, with work he loved and a future he was leaning into.
Then came the accident. His body was paralyzed and on a ventilator. His mind, his humor, his love - all still there. With no way out.
A screen becomes a voice. A glance becomes a conversation.
The app turns any iPad or iPhone into a communication device. A caregiver reads out letters, waits for a signal - a blink, a glance, a breath, any agreed cue - and selects. Letter by letter, sentence by sentence. Precise, deliberate, and worth every second.
With eye tracking, the person can do it themselves. Look to navigate. Open your mouth to select. No touch. No switch. Just you.
Built with respect
Every word in this app belongs to someone. We built it to honour that - a focused, uncluttered interface that serves the person using it, and nothing else.
We built I Have A Voice for one person. We're sharing it because there's no reason it should stay there.
