In an ideal world, it would be available in as many countries as possible, but
one can only imagine the additional overhead Aira would incur by trying to
staff up with enough multi-lingual or exclusively Spanish speaking agents. That
and honestly, how many blind/VI iOS folks are there in Mexico or Latin America
in general that can afford to use this service? Probably not enough at this
moment to make it a viable option for Aira to offer.
I work in the interpreting field. I don’t personally deal with or offer
telephonic interpretation through my company mainly because it is such a hassle
and can get prohibitively expensive. As an example, for Spanish speaking
telephonic interpretation, agents can get paid 30 to 50 cents per minute. This
isn’t even considering more specialized fields like medical or legal fields
where a certification may be required. Not to mention issues like what’s
referred to as localization in the industry. I.E. Mexican Spanish isn’t
necessarily the same as Spain or Argentinian Spanish etc. These same issues are
present with English I’m sure for them, but again, you’re probably going to
have a wider pool of English speaking iOS users and agents and a more universal
vocabulary that Aira’s already spent resources on to properly train for.
I’d like to be proven wrong, but I at least for now don’t see how they can make
it work financially in the motherland.
I don’t personally use Aira, so don’t know their terms of service, but have you
considered maybe accessing it via a VPN? Seems like BeMyEyes would be a more
immediate and accessible option in the interim as well.

Subject: RE: ira going free
What a disappointment it’s not available here in Mexico! I’ve Emailed Aira to
see what can be done about it though. I was really looking forward to giving it
a try! I’ve heard so much about it over the months that it sounds interesting
and useful overall!

Asunto: ira going free
Since I got a complaint about the long list of email recipients and since I’m
still not sure if this is a hoax or not, I’m sending the text of the message I
received earlier in my inbox. If it is a hoax I apologize in advance.
God bless!
The day we've been waiting for is finally here.
Aira is free everywhere and at any time.
Let that sink in For a moment!
Aira. Is. Free.
Starting today, you can make short calls to Aira agents for free, everyday.
So whenever you are doing those small daily tasks where a little information
can save a lot of time, we've got you covered.
We know, we can't hardly believe it ourselves!
There is no catch. So long as the call is relatively quick (5 minutes), its
free. Just make sure you have the latest version of the app on your phone.
As this is the early version of the service, we ask for some patience if you
come across any hiccups, along the way, or if we end up making some minor
tweaks further down the line. We are so excited to get this out into the world
that we just couldn't wait any longer! The important thing is to remember that
Aira is free now and will always be free.
Want to learn more?
The best way to learn is to Use the Aira app and connect with an agent-you can
aske all of your questions and it won't cost you a thing. If you are not on a
plan, that's great! You can now make short calls for free to Aira agents every
day and everywhere. You're no longer limited to using Aira in just access
locations or with access offers (those are still good to use if you want to do
something that will take more time, like explore a museum.
If you are on a plan
That's great too! You can use your daily free short calls to help make your
plan minutes stretch further. As the first (5 minutes) are free.
Connect with an agent now and start saving time. You have nothing to lose -
literally!
