Be My Eyes

This is an app that lets you help vision impaired people. I downloaded it yesterday and just got my first call. I helped a nice lady pick out a tank top to wear to a Dr's appointment.


The app that describes the world for you

Be My Eyes provides the world’s largest online community of people who are blind or have low vision with seamless access to real-time visual assistance. Through our app, users can connect with a global network of volunteers, specialist company representatives, and visual AI to receive live descriptions, product support, and guidance—all for free.

As it happens, my wife is blind (diabetes). She has us, so she doesn't need this service, but it's a really nice thing it's out there for those who do need it.
