At REHACARE Düsseldorf, visitors explored an earlier MindSpeaker prototype and shared enthusiastic feedback, including “Something totally new”. Thank you to everyone who joined the demonstration and discussed communication access with us.
What the demonstration means
MindClick is being developed as a trained selection controller for communication software. The user builds a message by selecting letters, words or symbols. It does not read free-form thoughts or translate an intended sentence directly into speech.
Correction: Earlier wording in this article described direct thought-to-speech and effortless communication. Those descriptions overstated the demonstrated capability and have been corrected. Individual reliability, usability and benefit remain under evaluation.
Historical event footage
