Our Mission

♿ Accessibility First

We design every feature with accessibility at the core, ensuring that our technology serves those who need it most and creates truly inclusive experiences.

🔒 Privacy by Design

Your privacy is non-negotiable. All processing happens locally on your device, ensuring your personal information never leaves your hands.

💡 Continuous Innovation

We're constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible in accessibility technology, bringing cutting-edge AI to serve human needs.

About the Founder

Omar Abdelnaby

High-school senior, CS & accessibility nerd

When my grandmother’s vision faded, she couldn’t read her medicine bottles—so I built Say It, an offline text-to-speech app that now helps 40 000+ people in 18 countries.

I taught myself Machine learning, shipped the app at 17, and still balance coding with piano and caregiving.

My next stop: college in Fall ’26 to keep turning empathy into code.

Our Journey

From a personal project to a global accessibility solution.
