Hi, I'm blind and I have this app on my device, but I still don't have access to Be my AI. My blind friend is trying to help me get access. He emailed them for me. I don't use a phone.

[@shame2189]

I love the fact that apps like these get made to help blind people, and the fact that there are millions of people taking time out of their day to be someone's eyes is priceless.

[@BlindtoBillionaire]

Hi, thank you so much for watching this video and for the comment. I completely agree, apps like this are amazing and help us for Blind or visually impaired so much. It’s awesome to know that there’s so many people willing to take time out of their day to help us with something when we call. It’s amazing, thanks again for watching this video, it’s so great to hear from you. And thank you so much for subscribing, I appreciate it! Talk to you again soon. Matt

The app is the only thing that i actually downloaded from a youtube ad, i feel excited, whoever created this app is doing a great thing

[@BlindtoBillionaire]

Hi! Thank you so much for watching this video and for the comment. It is nice that you downloaded the app and that you enjoyed so much! It definitely is very helpful, it is nice to have the option to have this app. It’s great! Thanks so much for being here and for your support, I sincerely appreciate it! See you again tomorrow, Monday in the next video :-) Matt

[@ramanr8552]

Is there any download link

[@BlindtoBillionaire]

Hi, that’s a good question, I don’t have any links to download, you can probably search for it in the App Store. :-) Thanks so much for your support

[@christine-r1j]

We sighted folk take all this for granted, it is only when you see a demo like this you realize how difficult life and ordinary tasks are to complete for visually impaired people, thankfully with smartphones and kind people, everyday tasks might be a little bit less daunting, thank you to all the kind people who help, ❤

[@bluetrapp9502]

I actually looked this up because I was nervous to volunteer for the first time and wanted to hear an example of a good way to communicate. I was afraid I might describe things in a way that wouldn't be helpful, and wasn't sure if I should say hello or anything or just get right to it. Thank you for this!

she almost said 'red' bench, but didn't. bless her heart

This volunteer was so incredibly helpful, I am grateful for people like her and all of the other volunteers who are available to help us. The volunteers are definitely changing lives, it is amazing! Thanks again for watching this and for being part of this channel, your support means a lot to me :-) Matt

I noticed that too. She did so well, I kept getting nervous as he was approaching the curb but she told him to watch out for it!

I just helped out for the first time and it was very fulfilling. I'm not the greatest reader, but the man I was helping didn't mind and we laughed together everytime I tried to say the word "anthropology."

[@BlindtoBillionaire]

Hi! Wow, congratulations on helping for the first time! That is so amazing! I’m excited for you and the opportunity that you had. I’m glad that it was a good one, thank you for everything you are doing!

Be my eyes can do all of this free! I may not need to pay extra with Aira. The technology but really the beautiful people behind it is what makes it!

[@BlindtoBillionaire]

Hey Jessica! It’s so nice to hear from you. I have never tried a RIA, but I have heard a lot of great things about it. Rather than being volunteers, the agents are specialized and trained to help blind and visually impaired people. However, from my experience with Be My Eyes, the people have been very helpful and very nice. I’m very happy with the app and will definitely be using it. It’s such a great app for all of us were blind or visually impaired. Thanks Jessica, I appreciate you watching this video and reaching out! It’s so nice to hear from you :-) Matt

Very true but, cus they’re volunteers it can be hit or miss and they don’t have access to your GPS like Aira does but; it’s great to have both options.

Hi! I just had another thought, would you be interested in sharing this video on your social media and your KZbin channel? If you were interested, I would love to collaborate and work with you on promoting your amazing app and getting it out in front of more people. Thank you! I sincerely appreciate it! Matt

Thank you so much! I've been visually impaired my whole life, I have myopic degeneration, I'm starting to try to find resources over the last 3 years. I've recently been approved to do O&M training and am starting soon. I didn't have any idea apps like this existed! I wanted to cry over the fact that there are wonderful people out there helping blind and low vision people like this, wow! Thankful!

I gave a seminar to Israeli tour guides in training yesterday about hosting people challenged by a range of disabilities; having completed the Israeli licensed course to be sensitive to different needs. It was a Ministry of Tourism English language course, which enables citizens who are not Hebrew-speaking to learn and become guides. When I explained and demonstrated hosting blind or visually-impaired guests an Arab participant told the class about this app; and here the next morning I signed up to volunteer. I am very moved at the opportunity to be someone's eyes. Thank you for demonstrating it.

[@lifeisartreality]

Seriously! Your mobility training problem is solved. Teachers refused me because I live out in the country. Even with transportation. My answer at the time was Aira, a paid video service with the option of glasses. Using the phones’ a camera,I took the door to door bus and got into town around the gym. I learned where the grocery store and some restaurants. Be my eyes is going in this same advanced direction. You could do the Sam thing. I found the phone easier than the glasses! So happy for you! You can surprise Corey by having be my eyes take you shopping for a gift for her.

[@BlindtoBillionaire]

Jessica, that is really sad that you were denied services because you live in the country. Be my eyes, glasses with a camera, and a RIAR not the solution. I apologize and feel bad that you had to deal with that. LOL, I love your idea of having been my eyes help me go out to find a gift for Corey. LOL, she probably loves that idea too. We will see about that. She will need to earn it! However, I could use the app to go out and buy a secret surprise item for one of my great friends here on the channel, it could be you ;-) if you happen to get a chance, watch my video that I uploaded last night. I’m going to be doing the self promotional video project once again. It would be awesome if you were able to submit a video! Thanks again Jessica, have a great day! Matt

[@abbyhipps4532]

I have this app but I’ve never used it. I don’t know the idea of actually calling and talking to someone random I don’t know well, is a scary thought. Not to mention I’m typically with a sited family member so I haven’t had the need for it yet. But I do own it and I already have it downloaded on my phone if The event ever arises that I need it. It seems very helpful, and the people seem really nice.

[@BlindtoBillionaire]

Hey Abby, I completely agree with you. It is a little bit weird to call and talk to someone and ask them for assistance and to make ourselves vulnerable to that person. However, I have had some great experiences with some very nice and helpful volunteers. It’s a nice app to have in the event we need it, but probably not an app that we will use all that often. I’m glad you enjoyed the video and I’m glad that you already have the app in the event you need it. It’s great to hear from you Abby :-) Matt

[@manuelapenela1924]

I just downloaded the App as a volunteer. My thought About bad volunteers is that if a user isn’t finding a volunteer to be helpful they could just end the call and call back to get a different volunteer. If you want to ask a potentially dangerous question like which medicine is which, call four times and make sure they all identify the meds the same. Just ideas.

[@BlindtoBillionaire]

Hi! Thank you for watching this video. That is so cool that you just downloaded the app as a volunteer, thank you so much for doing that, it truly means a lot to all of us who are blind or visually impaired and rely on this app to help us occasionally. I think you will absolutely love helping when you receive a call :-) thank you once again! I agree, if a volunteer is not helpful for the situation needed, we can always call back and talk to someone else. At one point, I called four different times in a row and got four different people each time. I think the likelihood of getting the same person more than once is probably unlikely. Thanks again for volunteering and for watching this video, I hope to connect with you further and get to know more about you. Have a great day, Matt

Great, dude! I'm joining it.

Thank you very interesting. I have been diagnosed with a rare retina disease and the gene has been identified. I am ok now, and alright to walk well, just miss a few things here and there. Have been completely blind at night for sixteen years. I’ll continue looking at the apps so if I need help I’ll know a bit of what I can do.

[@independentlyblind5816]

Another great video! I’ve always wonder how this worked. You. Got a really great assistant.

[@BlindtoBillionaire]

Hey Jason! Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Yes, the volunteer was very helpful in this video! In fact, I called right before this agent and had a different person who was terrible. We decided to re-record the video and call to connect with a different agent. The girl in this video was very helpful and very nice. You will get people from time to time for not very helpful, but this person was definitely great! Glad you enjoyed the video, hopefully you can use the app at some point. Thanks again my friend, Matt that shit

[@independentlyblind5816]

Hey buddy, I look forward to trying it soon as well. I wanted to point out, whether it was lovely voiceover, or auto correction, the last part of your message is pretty great. you might want to check it out. Just in case you don’t want anyone else to see that. You’re the best bro.

I used to have this app back in the day and it never rang or anything and I was disappointed I wasn’t able to help anyone. My dad is blind so I thought it would be nice to be available for others who need a sighted person’s help. I recently downloaded it again, i still had access to my old account. However, nothing is happening at all now. In the “home” section, it’s blank and looks like something is trying to load. I can click on stories and read those and I can go to settings. But that’s it. So I’m not sure what is going on....

[@BlindtoBillionaire]

Hi, thanks so much for watching this video in for the comment. Thank you for downloading the app as a volunteer, people like you are would make our lives so much easier. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to help someone who is blind or visually impaired. Actually, all of the people I have talk to you rarely get calls as well. Maybe one call every month or two at the most. There are a huge number of volunteers in relation to the number of blind people. Either way, it is the thought that counts so thank you so much for doing this! I’m not sure what is going on with the app, possibly try to delete it and re-download it or turn off your phone and turn it back on. Or maybe there is a pending update for the app. Just not sure, thanks again for being here, your support means a lot to me. Matt

Hi! Thank you for watching this video. You know far more than I do and have much more experience with these apps than I do. I appreciate your feedback and how you use the apps.

Maybe you can discuss some of the Strank’s in weakness is between each app and what each one offers. I think it would be very good coming from someone like you who uses both of the apps versus me who only uses Be My Eyes every so often.

No problem@@BlindtoBillionaire I've been using it for a while as well. Used it a few times when my laptop went nuts or something wouldn't work. Used it to unpack everything my family got at the store and to tell me if I had a box of cornflakes or all bran in my hand. I had some help with a few tins of food as well. The app's also not to heavy on data use and that's great if you are in a country where the data's quite expensive or when your WI-FI kicked the bucket when you need it the most. If you aren't sure about something or want more info on it, I'll help you if you want. It's what I do best. (smirk)

Hey Matt I just subbed to your channel and I have all notifications. Hey look man. I am a business owner who is totally blind. I am a working pianist and love my job. I however receive my checks my bank is assisting me with deposits but with mobile deposits if I want to do those it is pretty difficult. I need sighted assistants with this to aim the camera to the check. Can bee my eyes app do this can it actually assist in showing me where to take the picture of the check? I had a talk with my bank about a possible trigger for notifying me about this like a tactile vibration or something but I haven’t heard anything back from them. I told them that they needed to get the camera part of the app more user friendly. However, when I do mobile deposits, I always need to get someone’s help like my room mate. I am wondering if bee my eyes can assist with this. For me it is just easier to go to the bank and work with the teller like old school but if you have an answer for this that would bee great. I love your enthusiasm and you are really amazing. I would love to hear from you. For me, I love to go to the bank but their is situations where mobile deposits reallly come in.

[@avicohen6068]

I see this video and it gives me inspiration. Blind people need gyroscopic feedback from thier phone on at least one axes. To better capture /aim thier phone. I think blind people can develop visual perception through touch. Design a tight T shirt where the back and front of the T shirt, is made of a piezoelectric dot matrix. The blind person would wear a head ban with two small cameras front/back connected to a small processing module on the neck of the shirt. The processing module would translate deferential colours to deferential voltages to the piezoelectric dots. The more resolution, the better. Anyone can develop a visual perception out of dot pressure matrix. It doesn't take specialized training. I hope some engineers would read this , and put thier mind to the challenge.
