There's no way this ends well is there?

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!

"Order, order." Mister Muffins gazed slowly at the others around the gazebo, all comfortably resting in their identical, pink-and-blue-striped patio chairs. "Welcome to the sixty-seventh lunar gathering of the Nettle Place Society. The first item on our agenda—"

"What a bother," said Comtesse Mittens, barely stifling a yawn. "I was in the middle of sunbathing, you know."

"Comtesse, you know well this meeting is scheduled at the same time every moon—"
