Visual Interpreting - Get Live, On-demand Access to Visual Information

Aira is a visual interpreting service. Live, on-demand access to visual
information. It's an accommodation or productivity tool that connects you to
actual humans to simplify your daily life. 

Access to information is a right, not a privilege. 

 

People who need visual information use Aira for everyday tasks like reading
mail, digital tasks like shopping online, and to navigate their
surroundings, all independently and with confidence.

 

What is Visual Interpreting?

Aira is a live, human-to-human professional assistance service, an
accommodation or productivity tool, that enhances independence by delivering
on-demand, skilled and reliable visual interpreting for just about any task.

 

 

 

Who Uses Aira?

Simple, anyone who wants visual information, anytime, anywhere. 

 

How Does Visual Interpreting Work?

Using the camera and an app on your smartphone, a trained agent will assist
by visually interpreting your surroundings, from describing to reading, from
explaining to navigating - just about anything, safely and securely.

 

 

 

On Your Terms

With Aira, at the touch of a button, people who want access to visual
information have it, enhancing everyday efficiency, engagement, and
independence.
