Speakaboo App Does More Than You Think

In this detailed demo, Gregg Hayes walks through installing and using Speakaboo, an AI app similar to Be My Eyes and Aira but with notable advantages in speed and customisation. The app offers quick descriptions in seconds, a premium option for repeat and follow-up actions, and an extensive Siri shortcut library pre-built for accessibility tasks. Gregg highlights both practical and playful shortcuts — from reading menus and screens to checking who a package is addressed to, or even asking what your dog might be thinking.The standout example is the “Dog Poop Spotter” shortcut, which uses the phone’s camera to locate and describe the exact position of pet waste, helping guide dog owners maintain clean outdoor spaces without sighted assistance. Gregg also shows how shortcuts can be added to the iOS home screen for instant use, making Speakaboo a flexible and highly accessible tool for everyday life.
