Predictable:
Text-to-speech AAC app
Predictable is designed for people who are literate but don't have the ability to speak possibly due to cerebral palsy, motor neurone disease (ALS), autism, laryngectomy, stroke, apraxia or brain injury. It is accessible via Eye Tracking!
Predictable now offers integration with the Irisbond Hiru eye tracker, so that Predictable can be controlled entirely with eye-gaze, available on newer iPad Pro devices.
Face gestures are also compatible with eye tracking: you can look at the items and select them by blinking. Watch the video to see how accurate it is!
Eye Tracking
Predictable is included in the UNICEF App Catalogue.
The Catalogue is a library of health and distance learning apps developed by the public and private sector and assessed by UNICEF for functionality, use by children and accessibility. All applications listed are inclusive, meaning they can be used by persons with and without disabilities. The Catalogue also includes apps designed specifically to provide support to children or adults with disabilities. Find out more here https://www.unicef.org/appcatalogue/predictable
Head tracking and Gesture Speak
Predictable offers an enhanced head tracking feature using face recognition technology available on newer iPad Pro devices.
Face gestures are also compatible with scanning methods: you can scan the items with switches and select by blinking. You can also create recipes of gestures to create quick and easy access to a huge number of phrases.

You can save as many of these messages as you like and Predictable will rotate through them so that you don’t repeat yourself. They can also be played at the touch of a button.
