Click2Speak is an innovative On-Screen Keyboard, which enables people with motor impairments to communicate easily and to have full access to Windows-based PCs and Tablets.
The software, which was founded in Israel and developed by people with disabilities for people with disabilities, helping people with any kind of physical limitation to interact with their loved ones, enjoy social life, work and earn a living with complete independence.
Now, the project is in danger, and we need your help to continue serving thousands of people with disabilities around the world.
What makes Click2Speak so unique?
Click2Speak allows anyone who cannot use a standard keyboard to type quickly, efficiently, with low error rates.
Easy to use: Although Click2Speak offers a wide range of features such as Text to Speech Output, full mouse emulator, Windows control shortcuts, advanced dwell options, and more, the software’s interface is very simple and fully customizable to suit every user’s needs.
Any language: Click2Speak supports automatically any language on the globe, thanks to deep integration with Swiftkey’s leading language prediction engine.
Free: With the belief that everyone deserves the right to express themselves, Click2Speak has been free to download from the day it was founded. We wish to continue to allow this, therefore we are asking for your contribution.
How did we start?
It all started in 2009 when Gal Sont (1976-2016), the driving force behind this inspiring project, was diagnosed with ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease).
With no effective available solution for computer control, Gal decided to develop an innovative software which allowed him to keep working, socializing, and communicating with his family and friends.
In early 2016 we started collaborating with Google Org who decided to support our initiative with a generous grant, we have been also collaborating with Ezer Mizion, Israel’s largest medical nonprofit organization.
Unfortunately, in May 2016 Gal passed away after a brave struggle with the disease, may he rest in peace.
We are here to continue his inspiring legacy.

How can you help?
For 4 years we have been developing and improving Click2Speak for the benefit of people with disabilities from all over the world, all without charging anything, with the aim of enabling a communication solution for everyone, regardless of any physical condition.
Now, due to the Coronavirus and the economic crisis that has plagued the world, we are unable to secure grants and investments, and the future of Click2Speak is in real danger. We want to keep Click2Speak free to use, but if we fail to raise significant financial support, we will not be able to continue doing so.
We ask you to support us as much as you can, to donate and save the project that helps daily people with disabilities. Help us keep Click2Speak free and keep spreading the message that everyone should be able to communicate easily and efficiently.
