This popular app gained notable attention from the paranormal community after being tested by [Live Scifi TV](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Razer-Acquired). The iOvilus app is able to [produce speech from ghosts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/santas-magical-telephone) based on changes to sensors on your phone, through a phenomenon called instrumental trans communication. The idea is that an outside force can "affect a change and register a response," and is based on an old concept with new and improved methods for capturing the change. The device doesn't use a random word generator but rather uses the environment to output words from its dictionary.
