Although very interesting, the fact is this is a JAWS list, and since JAWS does not work on phones your message is off topic. Long time subscribers know better than to reply to your post, but in case any of the new people are not so astute fair notice of a onetime nature.
David Ferrin A complex system that does not work is invariably found to have evolved from a simpler system that worked perfectly. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Gopi Bala Sent: Friday, January 16, 2015 11:28 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] new mobile App - Be My Eyes. A new mobile app was released recently that I thought some of you may be interested in. The app connects blind people with volunteer helpers from around the world via live video chat. A blind person requests assistance in the Be My Eyes app. The challenge that he/she needs help with can be anything from knowing the expiry date on the milk to navigating new surroundings. The volunteer helper receives a notification for help and a live video connection is established. From the live video the volunteer can help the blind person by answering the question they need answered. There is a rating and reporting system to help minimalize misuse. Their website can be found here: http://www.bemyeyes.org/ Right now it is only available on IOS / Apple. You can register to be notified of an Android release here: http://bemyeyes.us6.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=e7bc4d93c409f117307da5764 <http://bemyeyes.us6.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=e7bc4d93c409f117307da5764&i d=6715c5a0ea> &id=6715c5a0ea If anyone chooses to give this a try, please provide feedback to the group on your thoughts. As this is a new concept and app, I am sure there will be problems with it, but will get better as time goes on and the volunteer network grows stronger. Cheers!
