Aira is an Android application developed for people with visual impairment. The service connects these individuals with qualified specialists who are able to assist them in various tasks and situations.
Purpose
Users with certain disabilities can make phone and video calls to ask help from well-trained interpreters. These specialists can assist in various tasks such as ordering food at restaurants, booking tickets at the office, traveling in public transport and so on. It is worth noting that the application was created for people who live in Great Britain.
Qualified help
Aira agents are able to make traveling through various places easier as users can get full assistance from beginning through the end. To make a call you only need to have mobile data and a phone with a camera. The interface is simple, does not have fancy design and only displays texts with large letters so that people with low vision could see necessary information and navigate through the app.
It is worth noting that the services provided by interpreters are not free. Taking into account that the utility is developed by a profit organization, you need to pay a certain amount to get help from agents. However, the first five minutes do not charge anything and allow you to see whether this assistance meets your needs.
