Be My Eyes Launches its Award-Winning App on Windows with Immediate
Availability


Be My AI, the world’s first AI visual assistant for people who are blind or
have low vision, is now available on any Windows 10/11 PC through the
Microsoft Store, for free.



A little over a year since the successful debut of Be My AI in our Android
and iOS apps, Be My Eyes is now taking another giant step forward with the
launch of its Be My Eyes app on Windows desktop, on the Microsoft Store.
Officially being unveiled at Microsoft’s Build Week in Seattle, this
innovative tool brings the Be My AI feature of the iOS and Android app onto
your desktop, promising to redefine the way you can get unprecedented visual
description on your personal computer.

The Be My Eyes app offers a number of features designed to provide rich
visual descriptions to people who are blind or have low vision. From photos
and graphs to screenshots, the app employs OpenAI’s GPT-4 with Vision model
to deliver detailed descriptions, and present visual content in a more
useful way.

Be My Eyes for Windows is available starting today. You can download it onto
your Windows 10/11 PC through the Microsoft Store
<https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9MSW46LTDWGF> .


How it Works


With the Be My Eyes for Windows app, people who are blind or have low vision
can now receive rapid, automated descriptions of screen elements,
photographs and diagrams through AI-based natural language conversations,
directly on their Windows 10/11 PC. By providing AI-powered descriptions of
images and graphics, coupled with an interactive chatbot feature, the Be My
Eyes app can be used for a wide variety of tasks, in a lot of different
situations. Here's just a few ways in which it can be used: 

1.	Describe Your Screen: whether it's an application interface or a web
page layout, you can now get detailed descriptions through which you can now
grasp any visual elements with ease.
2.	Describe Local Images: From family photos to documents, you can now
simply upload images to the Be My Eyes app  and receive comprehensive
descriptions in return, in a matter of seconds.
3.	Describe Online Images: Browsing the web becomes more inclusive as
the Be My Eyes app seamlessly describes online images, ensuring no visual
content goes undescribed.
4.	Help You Get Ready for Video Calls: By using a connected or built in
camera, the Be My Eyes app can describe how you look to the camera, are you
centered, or is the lighting ok, prior to a live video call.

And much more! Now it’s a conversation. Be My Eyes goes beyond mere
description, allowing users to ask follow-up questions and delve deeper into
the content being described. This interactive feature enhances engagement
and fosters a more dedicated user experience for people who are blind or
have low vision.

‍‍"The new Be My Eyes for Windows app will soon become an essential resource
for accessing all the information on the desktop” said Andy Lane, Be My Eyes
user. “Over the coming months, it will become an essential resource for
accessing a ton of information on your Windows PC, be it photos, graphs,
screenshots or web pages. It’s set to become a valuable tool for anyone who
is blind or has low vision!”.

The Be My Eyes for Windows app is available starting today on the Microsoft
Store, you can download it directly from here
<https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9MSW46LTDWGF> . Just like any other Be
My Eyes products and features such as the Be My Eyes mobile app, Service
Directory and Groups for Friends and Family, our new Be My Eyes for Windows
App is free of charge for users.

By harnessing the power of AI and making it readily available on Windows
10/11 PCs, Be My Eyes continues its mission to make the world more
accessible for 285 million people worldwide who are blind or have low
vision. We truly hope you enjoy easy access to your desktop files, images
and pictures.
