From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Jonathan Mosen Sent: Saturday, January 26, 2019 2:17 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: An Aira Update 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 on over to https://aira.io/free-trial 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. https://itunes.apple.com/nz/podcast/airacast-with-jonathan-mosen/id1449888701 All the best.
