Need a pair of sharp eyes? Or have some sight to lend? Be My Eyes is a simple, free tool to see the world better, together.

Be My Eyes connects you with a global community of volunteers and company representatives who are ready at a moment’s notice to help you see – to lend their eyesight and support with everyday tasks.

FREE. GLOBAL. 24/7.
Be My Eyes is a multi-lingual support community millions strong, available globally day or night, and has volunteers answering calls in more than 185 languages. Join the community today!

Sign up to get free visual support with tasks like reading small print, matching clothes, troubleshooting technology, setting up home appliances, or any other simple task a volunteer can complete over live video. If a task is too complicated or requires expertise, call one of our company partners for on-demand video customer support via Specialized Help.

If you have eyesight you want to share, sign up as a volunteer and answer calls from a person in need! Tasks are usually completed in just a few minutes, and if you’re busy there’s no need to answer – someone else will get it.

HOW IT WORKS:
1. Anyone 17 or older may sign up as a user or volunteer.
2. Calls are connected based on daytime timezone and language. Average wait time is about 15 seconds.
3. When a call is answered, a live one-way video (two-way audio) is initiated, allowing volunteers or company reps to see what’s in front of the user’s camera and provide verbal support.
Note: Specialized Help availability varies by region and company opening hours.

Pros and cons of Be My Eyes app for iPhone and iPad

Be My Eyes app good for

Today I had my first experience helping blind people and its very nice

Have gotten help with things that used to be impossible. Everything from mixing medications properly to reading messages on the screen of a broken TV. Just a little bit life-changing.

I got a call from a young man needing a tag size read from his pants And his shirt color A very legitimate question App worked great I was glad to help

Brilliant idea, hope that itll continue to grow and develop, helping blind people worldwide.

App works well. Good audio and video. What a great opportunity to serve others

It really works! I am blind and I have used this App to find out if my shirt is clean what my air-conditioning says, and, even how to set my stereo! Thank you! Thank you One and all

Some bad moments

I went to sign up as a sighted person, but the app demands access to my camera. I cant understand why it would need video of whats going on at my end, and it smells of spyware.

I never was called to help a blind person. What I did get is an endless supply of junk mail in my inbox, they must have sold my email address because I never give it out....I thought this was a worthy cause. I feel I got scammed.

Its a negative rank but not because of the idea. Just to get noticed, my app doesnt work on my iPhone 6 (8.1.2), any fix? Tried to reinstall it but nothing seems to work

Im from Brazil and im trying to register, but the app keeps saying that my connection is offline. And it doesnt recognize my facebook account. I really want to rate it with more stars, but sadly i cant even get past from the register sceeen. Ive used 3G connection too, but still doesnt work. I will try again later, but i hope this issue is solved with updates. Anyway, i loved the idea, congratulations!

The app closes alone. After update the app continues with bug

I received two calls but the app closes before I can hear the person talking!
