Getting started

Up and running in three steps

No technical skill needed. Every step can be done by a family member or caregiver.

  1. Install

    One file: Mistey‑Setup.exe. Double‑click, click Next, done. No Python, no downloads, no administrator password — the offline speech models and everything else are already bundled in. You get a Mistey icon on the Desktop.

  2. Activate

    A one‑time, per‑computer step that works fully offline: send us your Machine ID, receive a small key file, and drop it into a folder. Because it's just copying one file, a caregiver can do the whole thing — even before you can operate the PC yourself.

  3. Control

    A friendly guided setup tests your mic and camera on your real hardware, offers a gentle practice game, and helps you pick the preset that matches your body — so you see what works before you commit.

Control methods

Your body, your choice

Use whichever method suits you — and switch any time from the on‑screen menu. Head and hand share the camera; voice can run alongside either.

Head & face

Your nose steers the pointer — just look toward where you want to go.

  • Open your mouth briefly = left click
  • Hold it a little longer = right click
  • Hold longer still = grab & drag; close to drop
  • Or use dwell clicking: rest the pointer to click — gentler for tremor

If your face leaves the camera view, the pointer simply pauses and picks up again — any drag is safely released.

Hand in the air

Your index fingertip steers the pointer — no touching anything.

  • Thumb to middle finger = left click (hold to drag)
  • Thumb to ring finger = right click
  • Open‑palm swipes = scroll and next/previous
  • Fist = pause; thumbs‑up = confirm

Clicking uses different fingers than pointing, so moving never clicks by accident.

Voice

Around 108 offline commands in 15 groups — move and click the pointer, open apps, scroll, manage windows, control volume and power, all by speaking.

  • Dictation: "start typing" and everything you say is typed
  • Speak your own language — for example Bangla or Hindi
  • Not sure what it heard? Mistey asks "did you mean…?" — and learns your phrasing for next time
  • Risky commands (shut down, restart) always ask you to confirm first

Optional extras opt‑in

Four more ways to control the PC — all OFF by default. Nothing turns on unless you tick its box, and each has a "Try it" test first.

  • Blink & eyebrow: deliberate slow blink = click; eyebrow raise = right‑click. Natural blinks are ignored.
  • Head‑tilt: hold a tilt to scroll
  • Eye‑gaze cursor: steer with your eyes — honest note: best for big targets, after a short 5‑point calibration
  • Switch scanning: one reliable signal (a switch, a key, a sound, or a blink) operates everything

Ability‑Based Design

Made for your abilities — not the other way around

Most software expects your body to adapt to it. Mistey adapts to you, three ways:

21 disability presets

Pick the option closest to your situation — Parkinson's, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, locomotor disability, low vision, hearing impairment, autism spectrum and more — and Mistey tunes pointer steadiness, click timings, spoken feedback, and confirmations to suit. For example, the Parkinson's preset adds heavy smoothing, a tremor dead‑zone, and dwell clicking.

Calibration

A short webcam routine learns your head movement — how much you can move, how steady it is — and personalises sensitivity and smoothing to match. Re‑run it any time from the on‑screen 🎯 Calibrate button.

Live adaptation

While you use Mistey, it makes small, bounded, logged adjustments — for instance steadying the cursor if you keep having to repeat actions. Every change stays within safe limits so the pointer can never become unusable, and you can switch adaptation off entirely.

Honest support tiers

We tell you exactly how well Mistey supports your situation — before you commit. Every preset in the setup screen is colour‑coded:

Fully supported

Hands‑free control works end to end for these profiles in the current version:

  • Locomotor disability
  • Muscular dystrophy
  • Multiple sclerosis
  • Parkinson's disease
  • Cerebral palsy
  • Chronic neurological conditions
  • Leprosy‑cured persons
  • Dwarfism
  • Acid‑attack survivors
  • Hearing impairment
  • Low vision
  • Intellectual disability
  • Specific learning disabilities
  • Autism spectrum disorder
Partly supported

A genuinely usable path exists, with limits we're upfront about:

  • Speech & language disability — full head + dwell control, but no voice input
  • Blindness — Mistey narrates itself and the active window, not full third‑party app content
  • Multiple disabilities incl. deaf‑blindness — switch scanning gives a first usable path

A few listed conditions (thalassemia, hemophilia, sickle cell disease, mental illness) aren't this version's focus — Mistey still runs for them, just without a dedicated tuning. We'd rather tell you that here than let you find out later.

More than motor

Accessibility beyond motor control

These modes switch on automatically with the matching preset, and most can be toggled by voice too.

Captions & visual alerts

For Deaf and hard‑of‑hearing users: everything Mistey would say out loud appears as large on‑screen text, and the screen edges flash visually for alerts and confirmations. A captions‑history button lets you review anything you missed.

Screen reader & high contrast

For blind and low‑vision users: Mistey announces the window you're in, reads what's under the pointer, and can echo each word or letter as you type. Say "read screen", "where am I", or "open magnifier". Low‑vision profiles also get a bold high‑contrast theme and a glowing halo around the pointer.

Simple Mode

For cognitive and learning needs: the interface becomes one clear instruction line and five large buttons — Talk, Keyboard, Help, Again, Exit. Language is simplified and Mistey confirms actions more often, so nothing surprising ever happens.

Privacy & offline

Everything stays on your computer

Assistive software watches your face and listens to your voice all day. That's exactly why Mistey does all of it on your own PC.

Fully offline, by design

Camera frames and microphone audio are processed locally, in the moment — the speech recognition, the face and hand tracking, the command understanding: all of it runs on your machine.

  • No cloud. No account. No sign‑up.
  • No audio or video ever leaves your PC.
  • Works with zero internet — forever.
  • Even activation is done offline.
  • Your voice logs and learned phrasings stay in a folder on your own disk.
  • A few clearly‑separate extras (weather, Wikipedia, news) use the internet — only when you ask for them.

We won't lock you out of your own computer

If a payment is late, Mistey keeps working for a grace period and tells you clearly — because for many of our users this is how they use a PC. And if the price is genuinely out of reach, tell us your situation: we work with individuals, families, NGOs, schools and hospitals.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Does Mistey need an internet connection?

No. Installing, activating, and everyday use are all fully offline — the speech models are bundled into the installer. A handful of clearly optional extras (weather, Wikipedia, news lookups) use the internet only when you ask for them; everything else works with zero internet, forever.

Will it run on my modest laptop — say, 4 GB of RAM?

Yes — Mistey is built for modest machines. The offline speech recogniser automatically picks a model size to match your PC's memory, so voice control runs even on a 4 GB laptop. For head and hand control you'll want a working webcam and reasonable lighting (there's even a built‑in "ring light" that uses the screen edges to light your face in a dim room).

Which versions of Windows does it support?

Windows 11 is recommended; Windows 10 may work. You'll also want a webcam (built‑in or USB) for head/hand control and a microphone for voice control.

Can a family member or caregiver set it up for me?

Yes — the whole journey was designed for that. Install is a two‑click wizard, activation is copying one small file into a folder, and the guided setup walks through everything in plain language. A carer can complete every step before you ever need to operate the PC yourself.

What if my abilities change over time?

Mistey changes with you. You can switch to a different disability preset live from the on‑screen menu, re‑run calibration any time, and Mistey's live adaptation makes small, safe adjustments as you use it. If a method stops suiting you, switch to another — head, hand, voice, dwell, or switch scanning.

Is my camera or voice data sent anywhere?

No. Face tracking, hand tracking, and speech recognition all run locally on your PC. There is no account and no cloud service. The only personal files Mistey keeps — a private log of your voice commands and the phrasings it has learned from you — live in a folder on your own disk.

What does Mistey cost?

A free 7-day trial, then ₹500 per month or ₹5500 per year for one computer (saving ₹500). Nothing is charged automatically — we don't hold your card. If the cost is genuinely out of reach, tell us your situation; we work with individuals, NGOs, schools and hospitals.

What happens when the free trial ends?

Mistey warns you several days beforehand. If you don't subscribe it stops — but only after a grace period, and it always explains how to continue. Nothing is charged automatically, and your settings are kept if you subscribe later.

Your computer, back in your control.
