Who makes Sayso

Sayso is made by one person, Shahrad, in Canada.

He has ADHD. English is his second language, and he speaks it with an accent.

The apps and AI tools he tried kept failing him: they did not understand him, or they asked him to read and type too much.

So he built the app he could not find. Sayso is the app he needed.

Even more for you

Sayso makes these jobs easier for everyone. For some people it makes them much easier.

If you have ADHD

Say things in any order. Sayso puts them in order for you.

It asks one small question at a time, and never more than three.

It does not count streaks and never nags. A wrong tap is undone with one tap.

If you have dyslexia

Sayso reads your list aloud and, on phones that support it, highlights each word as it is read.

It can also read aloud its answers about a letter and the questions on a form.

Make the words bigger in Settings, from Normal to Large or Huge.

If you use a second language in daily life

Sayso listens with a speech service chosen for accents.

Letters are explained in your language, whatever language they are written in.

Sayso asks you the form's questions in your language. It writes your answers in the form's language, side by side.

If you would rather talk than type or read

Talk instead of typing, any time.

Sayso reads your list out loud, in your language.

Pictures can appear next to the words, or replace them.

Say "read it back", and Sayso reads your list to you.

What people use it for

Shopping lists, grouped by store section, with a picture next to each item.
Things to do, and plans with a day and a time. Sayso asks only for what is missing.
Reminders that arrive on their own, once you turn them on.
Put a plan into your phone's calendar in one tap.
Take a photo of a letter. Sayso tells you in plain words what it is and what it asks you to do.
Fill in a form one question at a time. A PDF with boxes to type into comes back filled in with your answers.
Send a list to anyone with your phone's own share button.
No sign-up and no account. Your list opens even with no signal.

What Sayso will not do

Sayso never decides for you.
It explains what a form asks, but never tells you what to answer.
It does not give medical, legal, immigration or tax advice.

Why Sayso

Everyone has things that matter and still don't get done. The letter you haven't opened. The form you keep meaning to fill in. The day that falls apart before lunch.

Not because you don't care. Because the first step feels too heavy. Too much to read. A language that isn't yours. Too much to remember. A mind that races. So you put it off, and it gets heavier.

Sayso lifts that weight. Just talk, in your own language and your own accent, or show it a photo of a letter, a form or a prescription. Sayso guides you, one step at a time. Nothing to learn, no judging.

Say "milk, eggs, the kids have soccer at four, call the dentist", and you get a shopping list, a plan for the day and a reminder, ready for your yes. Show it a letter or a prescription, and it tells you in plain words what it says and what it asks you to do.

You stay in charge. Nothing happens until you say yes. It happens on your say-so.

Less stress, worry and frustration. Less of that quiet sadness when another day ends and the thing is still not done. You feel able again, and what matters gets done, by you, your way.

What we hope for

A world where no one is held back from what matters by reading, by language, or by a mind that races.

What we stand for

You stay in charge. Sayso shows you the choices and never chooses for you. Nothing happens without your yes.
Easy first. As little reading and thinking as possible: talk, tap or show a picture.
Your language, your accent. In your language, from the ones Sayso offers; change it any time.
No judging. Needing help never makes you feel small.
Your papers stay yours. We keep no copies of your documents; your copy goes to your own cloud. To read a photo or hear you, Sayso sends it to an outside AI service, only when you ask it to.
Honest and careful. Clear warnings, nothing hidden in small print. Sayso can be wrong, so check anything about medicine with a pharmacist or doctor.
Calm and beautiful. One clear thing at a time, good to look at.
