AI voice keyboard for autistic people: get the tone right.

Moogoose is an AI voice keyboard for Android that helps autistic and neurodivergent adults, including people diagnosed with Asperger’s, write messages with the right tone. Written messages can be hard work when you have to guess what someone meant or how your reply will sound. Moogoose lets you ask about a visible message, say your reply in your own words, and choose the tone. It drafts the message and gives you a short spoken summary of it, and you decide what to send.

The difference

Can it help me understand what someone meant?

Yes. With Conversation Reading on, ask Moogoose about a message on your screen, such as “are they asking me to do something?”. It explains how the message is likely meant, so you can decide how to reply.

AI writing assistance

How AI helps with tone and meaning

Say what you want to communicate, then ask for the tone you need, such as “more polite”, “more direct” or “friendly but short”. With Conversation Reading on, you can also ask what a message on your screen means before you answer.

Everyday example

What this could look like

Situation

A colleague asks you to swap shifts, and you want to say no without sounding rude.

You say

“Tell them no, I can’t swap this week, but keep it friendly.”

Moogoose helps

Moogoose drafts a polite reply in the message field and gives you a short spoken summary of it. You can ask for a more direct version before you send it.

Using the keyboard

How the AI voice keyboard works

  1. Read or ask

    Open the conversation. If you are unsure what the other person meant, ask Moogoose first.

  2. Say what you mean

    Tap the Moogoose button and say your reply in your own words. Add the tone you want if it matters.

  3. Adjust the tone

    Moogoose tells you what it wrote. Ask for it warmer, plainer or more direct until it feels right, then send.

What to expect

The details that matter

Choose the tone

Ask for a reply that is more polite, more direct, warmer or shorter. Keep the version that says what you mean.

Ask before you answer

With Conversation Reading on, ask what a message means or what the other person wants, before you decide how to reply.

Plain, clear wording

Ask for simple, literal wording, and try as many versions as you like until the draft says exactly what you mean.

Good to know: Moogoose gives its best reading of a message; if something really matters, check with the person. You send every message yourself.
