I don’t think I would have access to reply to Vaibhav via the group address. But if that is a possibility, please pass on my note to Vaibav: Hi Vaibhav, Thanks for giving the app a try, and passing on feedback. This is incredibly valuable to me. While I was aware of BeMyEyes previously, I wasn’t aware of BeMyAI when building the app. I got to know about it in a conversation with Preeti Ma’am when I shared the link with her. Firstly, that doesn’t change anything for me. I am a strong believer of not letting any single company, or organization hold monopolistic control over a large tool. Especially, one that so many people depend on, like in this case. I strongly believe there should be multiple options in the market, even if they are not so good as the other one, to ensure fairness. Such alternatives are exactly what would prevent BeMyAI from suddenly announcing one day a subscription fee of $10 per month. (Not claiming that BeMyAI would do so, but only a hypothetical situation, which is very often the case). Secondly, there is no profit or monetary aspect driving this app. What started as something that I built as an pet project while I was learning AI, evolved into Newton Eyes. While I was not aware of such existing tool, I give full credit to BeMyAI for thinking of this idea first. Thirdly, I did a couple of workshops in enabling some of the students of Jyothi Seva Blind School with this app. I was surprised that none of those students mentioned about BeMyAI in those workshops, and they were actually experience such app for the first time. And when I got to know about BeMyAI app from Preeti ma’am, the first thing I did is pass on that information to the students I was in touch with there. Because I am not competing with other apps, but the intent was only to contribute to the community. Thanks to Preeti ma’am passing the message to all, I received a lot of feedback from many individuals. Below are the main themes of feedback: * Signup process is challenging, add one-click google login instead * The voice from the app often overlaps with the voice of TalkBack. So instead of broadcasting voice, just show the text on the screen and let the users read it using TalkBack I will be rolling out a newer version of the app soon implementing this feedback. However, this is a personal pursuit of mine, as a pet project, with no monetary intent. Without a large team driving it, the features and feedback will take time for iterations. As a further step, I would want to opensource this app so there is a opensource free alternative in the market, without creating a dependency on just any single organization or person.

Essentially, to me it just seems to be a coppy of the Be My AI feature of the Be My Eyes with some extra functions such as using voice and the verbosity levels.
