Help is something we all sometimes need if you’re blind or have low vision, whether it’s reaching a high place when you’re short, opening a stuck jar, climbing stairs, or reading the expiration date or anything. But what to do If there’s no one around? Isn’t things would be tough, then? Here is technology giving a helping hand in the form of an App that will make a difference in low vision or blind people’s lives.
The App, Be My Eyes connects blind or low-vision people who need help or have questions with sighted people who can help them. People who need assistance can use the App to ask questions like grocery shopping, what the instructions say on any item, whether expiry dates, whether an outfit matches, and much more via a live video call. Isn’t it great?
According to Alexander Hauerslev Jensen, community director at Be My Eyes, “It is easy to understand the value of Be My Eyes for everyone, and there is something very pure and good about the connection between people; it is very human to want to help someone, but on a busy day, it can be hard to find the time. That is why Be My Eyes works so well — because it is easy to have a big impact on another person’s life.”
Be My Eyes is a must App and absolutely free to download. If you have this condition or you know low vision or blind people in your surroundings, inform them. Technology can be a lot of things, but this is truly amazing.
