BeMyEyes
BeMyEyes is a mobile app that transcribes visuals that cannot be seen by blind people into spoken words. The app helps users dodge obstacles, carry out movement easily, and communicate with their surroundings — turning the camera on a phone into a voice for the visual world.
It is intended as an alternative solution to expensive modern electric walking sticks, putting assistive navigation within reach of users who would otherwise be unable to afford the existing tools. By running on a phone the user already owns, BeMyEyes makes independent movement a more practical reality for blind people.
