BlinkToText offers a form of independence to paralyzed people. The software platform converts eye blinks to text. Every feature of the software can be controlled by eye movement. Thus, the software can be independently operated by paralyzed people. Using the software, patients can record messages, recite those messages aloud, and send the messages to others. The software can be run on any low end computer, from a Raspberry Pi to an IBM Thinkpad. The software uses computer vision and Haar cascades to detect eye blinking and convert the motion into text. The program uses language modelling to predict the next words that the user might blink. The software can be easily customized for each patient as well. Blink to Text is free open source software. It is distributed under the MIT Permissive Free Software License.
