A couple of months ago a family friend had a very serious health issue and he couldn't move or speak much. So I put together a web app with a set of phrases, connected to a game controller, in a way that he could just select phrases from the list to communicate. Luckily this person got better quickly, and this app was no longer needed, but I decided to improve this experiment and publish it as an Open Source project.

So, this is VoxEase. It can be operated with a mouse, a touch screen, a computer keyboard, a game controller using a single hand, or you can set it to scan the list of phrases automatically so you only need to press one button to pick your phrase.
It only requires a modern browser and once downloaded it works offline.
It supports multiple languages and it can also be used by people with sight impairments (it works with screen readers).

Any suggestions on how to make it better are welcome!

@turi Good work. From a software development point of view may want to try relying on it for your own communication for a bit. I imagine you would find out real quick that having 'I'm in Pain' and 'I need help' should be toward the top and more quickly accessible than 'please' and 'thank you' which are nice to have but aren't communicating anything urgent.
@mystixa you're right, I haven't tested the app outside of a very narrow scope. I'm now thinking of making the entries sortable.
