Our Software
AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) software powered by artificial intelligence, helping people with neurodegenerative diseases find their voice again. Fully controllable with eye-tracking.
IGOOR offers phrase predictions, adapts to individual communication styles, and learns from user data to improve accuracy over time.
Navigate the entire interface just by looking — no mouse, no touchscreen needed.
Clone your own voice so the app speaks with a voice that sounds like you — a deeply personal touch for you and your loved ones.
Answer any question from a conversation partner (picked up by the device's microphone) using a blend of fresh AI-generated replies and responses you've used before.
Feed the AI with documents about your life — family, relationships, how your condition is evolving — so predictions get sharper and more relevant. Update them anytime.
Quick-access board for your daily needs — fully customisable with your own requirements, preferences and labels.
Supported languages in the first version: French, English, Italian.
Start typing and the keyboard predicts entire phrases — not just single words — from the very first letters.
Our principles
The software is free and open source — available to everyone at no cost, with full source code included, regardless of income.
Open-source code invites developers, users and experts to collaborate and keep improving the software together.
But there is more: IGOOR is — to our knowledge — the only software of its kind released under the AGPLv3 licence (also known as copyleft). This prevents any company or medical startup from taking the code, improving it behind closed doors and releasing a locked-down proprietary version. Every improvement must remain free and open to all, whether it ships as a desktop app or a cloud service.
This ensures the community's collective effort always serves patients and the public — and can never be locked away by private interests.
The tool is built to work with any hardware — microphones, cameras, eye-tracking systems, or other input/output devices. No vendor lock-in.
Hardware neutrality is a cornerstone of truly inclusive communication aids. By staying flexible and affordable, we give users the freedom to choose the gear that suits them best — and help build a digital society that respects everyone's needs.
IGOOR currently ships for Windows because most eye-tracking devices on the market are Windows-compatible, but the app is designed from the ground up to be cross-platform — Linux and Mac versions are on the roadmap.
We design IGOOR to need as little internet as possible — especially important for people with disabilities, and even more so in areas with poor connectivity.
Some features will always need a connection — fetching the weather, for instance — but they are non-essential.
Today, hardware constraints also make a 100% offline solution out of reach. For example, IGOOR's predictions currently rely on cloud computing to deliver the speed and quality users need — running the same models locally would require a prohibitively powerful (and expensive) computer.
We are confident these constraints will lift soon, and we have committed to swapping in local processing the moment it becomes viable — so the entire app can one day run without any internet at all.
History
The original idea for this application came from Igor Novitzki, founder of the IGOOR association, who presented it in this video on Vimeo in June 2024.
The video also showed our very first working prototype.
IGOOR has come a long way since then, and AI technology has moved fast — yet all the core principles were already laid out and partly working back then, including:
The video was originally published on this very website.
