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.
