Aira is a company that provides an app connecting people who are blind or have low vision to professional visual interpreters, offering secure access to visual information anytime, anywhere. Through partnerships with organizations such as educational institutions, museums, and transportation services, Aira allows these entities to offer the app for free to their employees, students, and customers, enhancing accessibility and inclusivity. The company champions the concept of visual interpreting, akin to video relay services for the deaf, which allows interpreters to verbally describe and navigate the world for their users in real time. Aira is at the forefront of enhancing accessibility through technology, serving businesses, governments, and educational sectors.
