Be My Eyes a very interesting new app for IOS

Posted by Kim Kilpatrick

There has been a lot of talk about a new app which helps identify things for you through sighted volunteers.

I tried it out the other day and talked to some lovely people from Portugal who told me about the box of tea I was holding.

They were very excited to do it.

At first, they told me to zoom out and I wasn’t quite sure what that meant.

Here are a few links for podcasts and information on the app.

Here are four podcasts describing use of the app to solve everyday problems:
