Get visual descriptions through volunteer video calls and AI assistance for everyday tasks.
Tool Information
Be My Eyes is an accessibility service for people who are blind or have low vision. Its mobile app brings together volunteer video calls, AI visual descriptions and a directory of support services. In a volunteer call, a person uses the outward-facing phone camera to show the item or scene they need help understanding. Be My AI provides a separate way to obtain image and scene descriptions without connecting to a volunteer. The current product page uses the Be My AI name, replacing the earlier Virtual Volunteer branding in this directory. Choosing between these routes depends on the task: a person can ask a volunteer for clarification in a live conversation, while AI can help describe an image or interpret visible content. Important details in either route should be checked when an error would change the next action; a description is assistance rather than independent verification. The service directory connects users with participating organizations and includes country-specific support information. Desktop versions focus on describing screens, images and documents, and the public download page marks them for personal use. The consumer app is free for users and volunteers; business accessibility products are a separate offer. This review inspected official public pages without uploading images, calling volunteers, installing software or testing description accuracy.
