Be My Eyes is a free app that was created to help people who are blind or low-vision with daily tasks.
Through a live video call, blind and low-vision users connect with volunteers who provide them with visual assistance for tasks ranging from matching colors, to checking if the lights are on, to preparing dinner, etc.
The app is available on iOS and Android, and is free for all users!
We explore different accessibility apps during Tech Tuesday, as well as in our Apps Club that meets as part of our Health & Wellness Program every Thursday. For more information about our programs, please contact our Program Director, Linda Groszew, via email ✉️ lgroszew@vlanj.org or by calling ☎️ 973-627-0055 ext. 1312.
