What is Speakprose?
Speakprose is a functional communication app that empowers users with the tools to engage in conversation, build meaningful relationships, and express their true selves. With an intuitive interface, you can type or use eye and head tracking with facial recognition to quickly express unique and personal desires, needs, feelings, ask questions, and more. You can also independently access and control smart home devices through a direct interface with Alexa, a cloud-based voice service. This means direct access to information, news, weather, online orders, and direct control of appliances, entertainment systems, and other smart-enabled electronics.
