> I heard about an online service where real people can sign up to help blind people by describing visual scenes that they capture on their mobile For anyone curious, it's called "Be My Eyes". When there's a request, it will send a notification to a batch of people. I get about one notification per month, often I'm unable to answer it right then, and when I do I occasionally get a notice that someone else answered first. Tasks I've helped people with were things like going through an unsorted stack of bills and telling them the denominations, holding up a few T shirts and asking me which is the blue one, reading a pressure valve. Would recommend signing up. It feels good and there's no pressure to answer since it sends out the request to many people at once.
