[Trainer-talk] Be my Eyes/Crowdsourced App to Provide sighted Assistance for Blind Users

[David Goldfield]

I just got word about this on Twitter. Be My Eyes is an app which is 
scheduled for release on January 15. It is a crowdsourced service, 
allowing blind people to obtain sighted help via videoconferencing. As 
an example, you could ask the helper to assist in setting a thermostat, 
identifying a specific box or can of food, etc. I do not know much more 
about this app, particularly the cost. Here is the Web site for more info.
