Summary
RealEye introduces Re:Connect, a webcam-based eye-tracking communication tool that enables people with limited mobility or speech impairments to type using only their eyes. The solution requires no special hardware—just a standard webcam—and includes a voice cloning feature that lets users speak in their own voice from a short recording. The product aims to make assistive communication technology more accessible and affordable.

Too many people with limited mobility or speech impairments struggle to express themselves, and existing solutions are often slow, expensive, or inaccessible.
No special hardware required — just look, type, and express yourself independently.
