Leveraging AI along with millions of volunteers around the world, this groundbreaking accessibility app helps people who are blind or who have low vision navigate everyday activities.

What we love: Be My Eyes brings together more than 900,000 people receiving assistance and 9 million volunteers providing it. Tap the app’s Call Volunteer button to start a video chat with someone who can help with basic tasks, such as reading a street sign or checking the expiration date on a milk carton.

Quick tip: Snap a photo of your pantry using the app’s Be My AI feature to hear a detailed description of its contents. This AI tool can even answer follow-up questions, such as whether you have the ingredients for a particular recipe or what products are expired.

Meet the creator: Be My Eyes was created by Hans Jørgen Wiberg, who began to lose his vision at the age of 25. Wiberg pitched his idea for the app at an entrepreneurs’ event in 2012; he launched Be My Eyes in 2015.
