Download Aira Explorer, create an account, and connect with a professional Visual Interpreter with one tap. Aira streams live video, including your GPS location, so a Visual Interpreter can see your surroundings through an integrated dashboard. Using your phone's camera, they'll support navigation, description, and narration, guided by your requests and questions. Visual Interpreters can also take and save images to your account, search the web, send messages to you via chat or email, and integrate with your Lyft account. Aira is also available on desktop or hands-free with AI glasses from Meta. ARE THERE AI FEATURES AVAILABLE? Access AI is Aira's free image chat feature. Take or upload a photo through the Access AI tab and you'll get an AI-generated description trained by the blind and low vision community. Ask follow-up questions, get a refined answer, or use Aira Verify for a free confirmation of the description by a Visual Interpreter. Popular uses include reading labels, signs, and printed menus, choosing an outfit, and reading a digital display like a thermostat. HOW CAN I GET AIRA MINUTES?
