If reading it is the hard part

Small print, dense paperwork, a second language, a bad day, or eyes that are not what they were. Frankie reads what you show it and explains it in ordinary words, and you can argue with it until it makes sense.

What it does

Point, listen, ask

Anything printed, read aloud

A letter, a bill, a form, a label, a menu, a notice on a door. Photograph it and hear it back, then ask what it actually means.

You sayWhat does the small print at the bottom say?

Explained, not just narrated

Text to speech reads words. Frankie reads the words and then tells you what they mean, what is being asked of you, and what happens if you ignore it.

You sayDo I have to do anything about this, or can I file it?

Ask again without starting over

The document stays in the conversation. You can go back to one line without sitting through the whole page a second time.

You sayGo back to the part about the deadline.

Your own display, on every page

Text size, contrast, spacing, and reading controls sit in a launcher on every single page, including this one, and the setting follows you.

Try itThe round button in the corner of this page.

All of it by voice

One button. No menus to find, no small targets to hit, no keyboard. Answers come back out loud in a natural voice.

You sayJust tell me what I owe and when.

Two languages, mixed freely

English and Russian, including sentences that switch halfway. A letter in one language can be explained in the other.

You sayПрочитай это письмо и объясни, что от меня хотят.

Access is not a feature we bolted on

How the product is built

Most software treats accessibility as a compliance checkbox added near the end. Here it is the reason the product looks the way it does, which is also why it turns out to suit people who never thought of themselves as needing it.

Voice is the primary interface, not an alternative one. Everything can be done by speaking.
Display and reading controls live on every page, not buried in a settings screen you have to find first.
Real headings, labels, and landmarks, so screen readers get a sensible document rather than a pile of divs.
A visible focus ring on everything that can be reached by keyboard, everywhere, by default.
Reduced motion is respected. If your system asks for less movement, the site stops moving.
Big targets and plain language, because a button you cannot hit and a sentence you cannot parse fail in the same way.

The full detail, including what is not yet perfect, is in the accessibility statement. If something here does not work for you, write to hello@frankiegpt.com and tell us. That is a real address and it gets read.

Questions

About access

Does it work with a screen reader?

Yes. The interface uses real headings, labels, and landmarks, and it is tested with keyboard navigation. It also has its own reading and display controls on every page, so someone who does not use a screen reader still gets large text, higher contrast, and spoken output.

Can it read something I point a camera at?

Yes. Take a photo of a letter, a bill, a form, a prescription label, a menu, or a sign, and Frankie reads it out loud and explains what it means. You can then ask questions about it rather than having it read start to finish again.

What if I cannot type at all?

Then do not. Press one button and talk. Everything Frankie does can be done by voice, and answers come back out loud. Typing is there for people who prefer it, not as a requirement.

Is this only for people with a diagnosis?

No. Plenty of people use it because print is small, because their hands are full, because English is their second language, because they are tired, or because reading a dense letter at the end of a long day is miserable. There is no gate.
