  3. I am reminded again today how much I appreciate apps like #BeMyEyes and #Aira. Today a fave artist posted some pics on their timeline. Previously, I'd just scroll past and miss out. Today, I enjoyed the precious pics they shared of their family enjoying the beach.

  5. #Meta glasses have just worked with #Aira for me for the first time in over two weeks! Glad they started cooperating again. Has anyone else in our #Blind community had this issue lately?

  7. Life has been a bit of an emotional rollercoaster for me lately. My mom recently passed away with cancer. I spent several days in Illinois where I am from originally and came back home to South Carolina with "the crud" (a really bad cold). In spite of the circumstances, I was blessed to reconnect with family and old friends. I also put the Meta glasses thru their paces with #Aira and was able to navigate two airports using just the visual interpretation of my agent. That was an absolute rush, as I hadn't flown for quite some time. The day after I returned home to SC, I learned that I have been accepted to the #Monarch Rise Project. I had learned that applications were being accepted as my family and I were dealing with Mom's illness and almost didn't take the time to apply. I'm so glad I did, and look forward to learning more about this lifechanging #Braille technology. Through all of my recent endings and beginnings of life chapters, it has been so refreshing to read my Mastodon feed, to keep up with tech news, laugh at some jokes or appreciate the descriptions of beautiful photography from around the world. I'm grateful for this community and, as always, look forward to staying in touch. Blessings, all.

  9. @technocounselor Ooh I'll have to see if they make smaller ones. I hope it serves you well. The last Fire TV I got literally wouldn't launch Voice View until I got signed into Amazon. I couldn't do it without #Aira. That was most disappointing.

  11. RE: nfb.social/@AccessOn/116529551

    After hearing this, my verdict still is the same: #SeeingAI beats em all, by far. The new #Aira thing is very tempting, but I guess, Aira will never get to non-English-speaking countries, so... we stick with SeeingAI.

  13. I just asked #Gemini to transcribe all the audio from a 28-minute-long #Aira session and it did a perfect job! I'm relieved, but should I also be horrified? #accessibility #AI @airaio

  15. I just finished installing my first screen protector all by myself. Turns out that the prospect of my possibly messing it up was less horrifying than my 10-year-old daughter running around with an unprotected phone! It went well. Seems they're a lot easier to put on than they used to be. I did work with an #Aira agent just to help make sure it was aligned properly, which also turned out to be unnecessary as there is a notch that obviously goes toward the top of the phone. #accessibility

  17. 「AI鏡子」如何改變視障人士看見自己的方式?

    BBC News 中文 2026-01-31 16:00:00 CST
    本文探討 AI 應用如何作為視障者的「文字鏡子」,提供前所未有的外貌回饋。此技術雖具賦權潛力,卻也因演算法偏見與不確性,引發身體焦慮等心理衝擊,其影響利弊並存,值得關注。

  18. Had an amazing experience with #Aira this morning. I had been sent an inaccessible document last week. I’ve been putting off trying to fill it in because I was dreading trying to fill it in. I made an attempt to fill it in myself to no avail. It was a Word doc on my Mac full of tables, tick boxes, and lists. After wrestling with it for half an hour, I tried ChatGPT to fill it in. It filled in half the document and lied about filling in the rest. So I tried Google Gemini. It was no good. It wouldn’t fill it into the Word doc at all. So I wasn’t sure what to do. Then I thought of Aira. I have only started using it in the last month, so it doesn’t come to mind instinctively. I remembered that you could attach files, and so that’s what I did. Within less than five minutes, the agent had filled in the form and emailed it back to me. I am so impressed by the service they provided me. I think I would have been struggling with that form for the rest of the day if not tomorrow as well without the help I received today.

  21. För Harald Mix värmepumpssatsning Aira är nyckeln till framgång användarvänlighet. Att teknikchefen hämtats från en bransch där mjukvara och konsumentupplevelse står i fokus är ingen slump.#värmepump #värmepumpar #energi #aira

  22. In August 2025, the #ArtificialIntelligence and the Rights of #Autistic People (#AIRA) project presented a workshop at the #Autscape conference, discussing advocacy topics with the audience of autistic people from the UK and other countries. This video shows some highlights from the workshop presentation by Willow Holloway and from a discussion on designing practical learning assignments, as well as comments from workshop participants.

    AIRA is a three-year project (2023-2026) by the European Council of Autistic People (#EUCAP), funded by the European AI & Society Fund. Autscape is a founding member organisation of EUCAP.

  23. @AiraVI It's not a paid position but I volunteer with multiple organizations as a secretary and i've used #Aira to ensure that documents are formatted properly. I've also used them in a pinch when needing to download various things needed to do my job when websites are more difficult to navigate or to expedite tasks when hurried.

  25. @DavidGoldfield No no no, just no! There is an extremely short list of humans I’d allow to check my stool sample, and a perfect stranger #AIRA agent isn’t on it, I don’t care how much training they’ve had. I would take a picture with #BeMyEyes and have #AI do the honors.

  27. I know things can be frustrating for those of us who are blind, but it's good to focus on the good parts. Thanks to #Aira and #Uber I was able to make a quick trip to #Walmart to pick up a prescription with no assistance. Love it when I can do things independently!

  29. So I just applied for an #accessibility role that would be a great fit for me except that the application required a driver's license and I had to physically draw my signature! I creatively answered all the driving questions and got help from #Aira for the signature, but, really, do I even have a chance of being considered? There wasn't even an attempt to provide ?reasonable accommodations.” #furious

  31. Well that's that I can't schedule a pickup for my #Walmart return via the #FedEx website. I'll have to call them in the morning. Even Scott the lovely #Aira agent couldn't accomplish it. And I thought the #UPS site was a bear with which to deal.
