Access visual assistance on demand, if you are blind or visually impaired, or lend your eyes to the blind or visually impaired if you are sighted.
Blind or visually impaired users can request help from a sighted volunteer, who will receive a notification. As soon as the first sighted user accepts the request, a live audio-video connection will be established between the two parts. The sighted helper can now assist the blind or visually impaired, through the video connection from the blind or visually impaired user’s rear-facing camera.
The blind or visually impaired user can need help with anything from knowing the expiry date on the milk, to making sure that their clothes match.
– Live audio-video connection between blind or visually impaired and sighted users – 90 % of calls answered within 30 seconds – Add the languages you speak in settings – An easy way to make a difference for blind or visually impaired people
