Help the Visually Impaired with Be My Eyes
Be My Eyes is a free mobile app with one main goal: to make the world more accessible for blind and low-vision people. The app connects blind and low-vision individuals with sighted volunteers and companies from all over the world through a live video call.
How it Works
Someone who is visually impaired and in need of assistance will open the open and make their request.
Volunteers will get a notification on their phone with details about the request and the support needed.
Volunteers can respond to the request with a video call (think Skype or Facetime) and solve the problem in real-time.
Translate with Tarjimly
The Tarjimly mobile app allows the world’s 3 billion multilingual speakers to remotely volunteer their language skills as translators and interpreters for the 65 million displaced people. Today, it is the most accessible translator service in the world.
How it Works
A refugee or someone who needs a translator or interpreter uses the Tarjimly app to make their request for assistance in the language needed.
Volunteers will get a notification on their phone if their languages match, with details about the request and the support needed.
Volunteers can respond to the request with a live chat session where they can send text, voice notes, documents, or even get on a live phone call.
