Hi all. Since the middle of October, I've been Aira's VP of Explorer
communications. Since Aira has an iOS app, I thought the following info
may
be of interest to some.
For those not familiar with Aira, we provide real-tine audio description
of
anything visual, provided by security-vetted, trained professionals. You
can
use it with your iPhone on its own, or if you perform any tasks where
it's
useful to have both of your hands free, we offer optional smart glasses.
The Aira app is free, and it's free to use in an increasing number of
locations, or for an increasing number of tasks. We also offer
subscription
plans, much like cell phone plans, where you can use it for any task,
anywhere.
If you've been curious about Aira and have wanted to take it for a spin
in
your own environment, we've released a free 7-Day Trial of our full paid
service. This offer means that anyone with a free account can try anytime
access to Aira's professional agents whenever it suits them - just like a
paying subscriber.
The 7-Day Trial provides 30 minutes to try Aira's service over a period
of
seven days. Some of that time will be used for setting up account
preferences and asking questions about the service, but the majority of
that
time is free to use for any task. It's a great opportunity for people new
to
Aira to experience why so many use it as a must-have tool for enhancing
everyday life.
Got some mail that needs sorting? Need a professional agent to connect to
your computer to help with an inaccessible site? Or just want to research
nearby restaurants or stores? Well, now you can, as a free user and from
the
comfort of your home.
For all the details including a list of frequently asked questions, head

over to

Second, Aira has recently released a comprehensive series of training
modules available for streaming online, or for download in DAISY and MP3.
You can find it at:
http://aira.io/training. This is a good way to learn about Aira even if
you're not signed up yet but are curious. Because this is such a new
class
of technology, many people not only want to know how to use Aira, but how
it
might fit into their toolbox of blindness skills and apps.
Finally, we've just launched a podcast, called Airacast.
It's packed with news, interviews, tips, tricks, listener comments and
more.
Subscribe to Airacast now from all the places most people get their
podcasts, including iTunes/Apple Podcasts, Google Play Music, Stitcher,
TuneIn and more. Spotify is coming soon, iHeart Radio in a couple of
months
and an Alexa skill will be released eventually.
Many people enjoy hearing podcasts through HumanWare's Victor Reader
Stream,
so of course it's listed there too.
Should you wish to enter the RSS feed manually into your podcast client
right away, it is:
https://airacast.libsyn.com/rss
Search for Airacast in your podcast app of choice, or Here's an Apple
podcasts link for you.

All the best.
