RE: Aira and Be my eyes
Believe it or not, I have used both AIRA and By my Eyes to assist me in find locations. For example, I have a new job coming up on Friday. I have used Be my Eyes to help me find the location of my job. I told the volunteer the address I was looking for and the street corner I was at. She looked through my camera and used Google maps to find out where I was trying to get to. If the volunteer is really good at navigation, By my Eyes can work great for orientation. But with AIRA, you are guaranteed to have someone with a dash board and more sophisticated navigation software to help a person get around. But both AIRA and By my Eyes can work good for orientation and navigation. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of deidreandlou...@gmail.com Sent: Tuesday, May 10, 2022 7:15 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Aira and Be my eyes Brandon The point is that I get a better connection with BE MY EYES and I am sharing minutes with someone for Aira.

RE: Aira and Be my eyes
I've used Ira when I want to take a picture. I've used Be My Eyes when I've needed to find out something like my kid who is in preschool checked out a Paw Patrol book that needed to go back to the library and he has other Paw Patrol books that aren't library books, so I used By My Eyes to verify that the book he was handing me was indeed a library book.

RE: Aira and Be my eyes
Beyond the confidentiality, I love using AIRA for help with online orders that have visual aspects. My sighted spouse is not a tech fan, so it's less stressful for us both if I use an AIRA agent to log into my computer and Finnish online orders for me. Just a minute ago I ask my husband to help with a slider bar on an order website and he had no idea how to work it. I called AIRA, had them log into my PC and the guy quickly moved the slider to where I needed it then helped me finish the order. Last week I bought play tickets for my family, The AIRA agent helped me navigate the new site and select my seats in the theater. Know those sites that have countdown timers on them to get your online order done? There's another time AIRA can help. One agent told me the shortest counter she had was a 2-minute clock to get the order done.My time and frustration is worth the investment in AIRA. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Marcos Rodrigues Sent: Monday, May 9, 2022 6:24 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Aira and Be my eyes Good morning.

RE: Aira and Be my eyes
AIRA does definitely have some advantages over be my eyes. Lately I've found an invaluable use for them. We have this new expensing system at work where we have to code our travel expenses each month. We use S A P Concur and the app is accessible. Part of what we have to do is upload our receipts to the app. When I get a receipt I just call an AIRA agent. They can take a picture of the receipt and email it to me. Then, at months end when expenses are due I need only upload the electronic receipts instead of trying to capture them on my own using the phones camera. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Joshua Hendrickson Sent: May 9, 2022 10:44 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Aira and Be my eyes I use be my eyes all the time.

RE: Aira and Be my eyes
Very good summary. Most of my calls to AIRA are well under 5 minutes also, although we do have the subscription for 30 minutes. Yesterday, we called them to describe the layout of buttons and connectors on a new receiver we had just gotten. They pulled up the model of the receiver on the web, and gave us a great description, which we recorded for future use. Many times, they do take a picture of what you are showing them so they can see it more clearly. My husband and I are both blind, or close to, and have found ways to deal with things that would normally need sight for many years without these services being available, but it is really nice to have these as an option now also. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Chris Chaffin Sent: Monday, May 9, 2022 12:43 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Aira and Be my eyes I would say as far as Aira and Be my eyes, it all depends on what you are doing. Keep in mind that Aira agents are sitting at a computer and have access to many tools like maps of your surroundings, airports that you might be at, and many other toolsbe like being able to use your camera to take a picture of something that has extremely small writing and for some reason is hard to scan with Seeing eye. Also, like Richard said, Aira agents are bonded and are under a privacy NDA. So they can help you read numbers of a credit card, information from a bill, or any other personal information. Aira agents can also help you with task or problems you are trying to do on your computer by the use of team viewer. And lets not forget that Aira has many free ways of using their service. Non paying members can use one 5 minute call a day for free, plus you can use Aira for free if you are at any of their sponsored locations; like Walgreens for example' or if you are having a problem with Jaws. And just in case anyone is wondering, the majority of my calls with Aira are less than 5 minutes. They are very quick and efficient in how they help you. Now, Be My Eyes is a great service, especially for those small quick task, like identifying objects, maybe finding something you dropped on the floor, locating a door, Reading a computer screen, etc. But I would not ask Be My Eyes to help me with anything personal, like my mail, bills, etc. I do personally use both services, and I think they both provide a great service. Just like in any situation, what tool I use depends on what I am currently trying to accomplish. Hope this helps.

RE: Aira and Be my eyes
I used to use Aira for 5 minutes regularly. I haven't been able to get through for months though. You now get a message saying high call volume & premier customers get priority. So it appears the 5 minute free calls a day will no longer work. I can't blame them; they need the money to pay their staff. I have been using Be My Eyes instead & for what I need they have been great. Sherry Wells “Let’s make stupid embarrassing again” Rex W.

Keep in mind that Aira agents are sitting at a computer and have access to many tools like maps of your surroundings, airports that you might be at, and many other toolsbe like being able to use your camera to take a picture of something that has extremely small writing and for some reason is hard to scan with Seeing eye. Also, like Richard said, Aira agents are bonded and are under a privacy NDA. So they can help you read numbers of a credit card, information from a bill, or any other personal information. Aira agents can also help you with task or problems you are trying to do on your computer by the use of team viewer. And lets not forget that Aira has many free ways of using their service.

Now, Be My Eyes is a great service, especially for those small quick task, like identifying objects, maybe finding something you dropped on the floor, locating a door, Reading a computer screen, etc. But I would not ask Be My Eyes to help me with anything personal, like my mail, bills, etc. I do personally use both services, and I think they both provide a great service. Just like in any situation, what tool I use depends on what I am currently trying to accomplish. Hope this helps.

Re: Aira and Be my eyes
If you leverage what technology you use for what, the minimum plan at least for me with Aira suffices. That is, use my scanning apps for some things, be my eyes for reading labels or checking things on my washing machine, and Aira for confidential information or helping me with aspects of websites I can’t manage. > On May 9, 2022, at 10:26 AM, Kathy Blackburn wrote: > > Actually, Aira agents are paid.

RE: Aira and Be my eyes
AIRA agents are not trained volunteers, they are trained staff. Part of what you pay for is their salary. In full disclosure I have no need for AIRA more than once or twice in several years because I have a sighted wife. I know someone who uses them a lot. She went on a vacation and use them to take pictures of things she wanted to share with her sighted friends/family. AIRA does offer I think one 5 minute call for free per day, so you can try it out at no risk. The volunteers with BE MY Eyes I do not believe get any training. At least the ones I have used didn't seem trained, but were very, very helpful and willing.
