AccessChat: Motor & Dyslexia Assistive Typing

Local, privacy-first assistive typing overlay for Google Chat.

AccessChat: Motor & Dyslexia Assistive Typing for Google Chat AccessChat is a powerful, privacy-first assistive typing layer built specifically for Google Chat. Traditional autocorrect relies on standard spelling models, but AccessChat is engineered to understand and correct the unique mechanical and phonetic patterns common in motor control disabilities and dyslexia. Key Features: Tremor & Key-Bounce Filtering: Automatically collapses accidental repeated keystrokes caused by micro-spasms (e.g., typing "isssue" becomes "issue"). Spacebar Timing Correction: Fixes premature or delayed spacebar strikes using a dynamic token-shifting engine (e.g., automatically corrects "th e" to "the" or "bu tit" to "but it"). Neighbor-Key Collision Filter: Detects and strips accidental double-strikes of adjacent physical QWERTY keys (e.g., "uncorrectred" to "uncorrected"). Dyslexic Phonetic Support: Catches and resolves common phonetic sequencing transpositions. Text-to-Speech (TTS) Verification: Includes a one-click auditory preview to hear your message read aloud before sending. Fully Accessible UI: Features a frictionless, keyboard-only approval system (press Tab to apply, Esc to dismiss) and a toggleable WCAG AAA High-Contrast mode with dyslexic-friendly letter spacing. 100% Private & Secure (Zero Data Collection): Because Google Chat is used for sensitive workplace communication, AccessChat processes everything locally. The extension contains a built-in algorithmic dictionary and runs entirely on your device's volatile memory. It does not collect, log, or transmit any keystrokes, messages, or personal data to any external servers. How to Use: Simply install the extension and type in any Google Chat window. When AccessChat detects a motor or phonetic typing error, a subtle, high-contrast overlay will appear above your text box. Press Tab to instantly apply the correction, press Esc to dismiss it, or click Listen to hear it aloud. Use the extension icon in your Chrome toolbar to customize your typing pause delay and visual settings.
