Oh I should also add that often times when something like this happens we simply remove the person from the list. More often than not they are free to join up again, we do hope that they take the time to read the guidelines I wrote more carefully before posting again. Often sadly they don't and they get kicked again possibly not to return since we keep notes. Food for thought boys and girls. We are noted for running a tight ship, the reputation is well deserved.
David Ferrin A complex system that does not work is invariably found to have evolved from a simpler system that worked perfectly. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gopi Bala Sent: Friday, January 16, 2015 11:28 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [JAWS-Users] new mobile App - Be My Eyes. A new mobile app was released recently that I thought some of you may be interested in. The app connects blind people with volunteer helpers from around the world via live video chat. A blind person requests assistance in the Be My Eyes app. The challenge that he/she needs help with can be anything from knowing the expiry date on the milk to navigating new surroundings. The volunteer helper receives a notification for help and a live video connection is established. From the live video the volunteer can help the blind person by answering the question they need answered. There is a rating and reporting system to help minimalize misuse. Their website can be found here: http://www.bemyeyes.org/ Right now it is only available on IOS / Apple. You can register to be notified of an Android release here: http://bemyeyes.us6.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=e7bc4d93c409f117307da5764 <http://bemyeyes.us6.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=e7bc4d93c409f117307da5764&i d=6715c5a0ea> &id=6715c5a0ea If anyone chooses to give this a try, please provide feedback to the group on your thoughts. As this is a new concept and app, I am sure there will be problems with it, but will get better as time goes on and the volunteer network grows stronger. Cheers!
