What it does

Be My Eyes is a free app that connects blind and low-vision people with sighted volunteers and company representatives for visual assistance through a live video call.

Experience the benefits of accessible technology with Be My Eyes. Connect with volunteers for real-time assistance via video.

Be My Eyes connects blind or low vision users who want assistance, with volunteers and companies across the world, through live video and AI. A female with long dark hair dressed in dark trousers and a grey top is holding a white cane in one hand and holds a phone up to her ear with the other. She has a biog smile on her face. She is sitting outside on a concrete wall with trees and buildings behind her. It is a sunny bright blue sky day. Our goal is to make the world more accessible to people who are blind or have low vision. We couldn’t do this without the help and dedication of our community.
