About Aira
Aira is an on-demand visual interpreter service that connects blind and low-vision users with trained sighted agents through a smartphone or smart glasses camera in real time, enabling them to navigate airports, read menus, interpret complex visuals, and handle tasks that automated AI still struggles with. Its Explorer app pairs on-demand human agents with AI-generated visual context, giving agents an enhanced view of what the user is seeing through computer vision annotations. Aira partners with hundreds of businesses, universities, and transit systems to offer free Aira access to customers and employees as an accessibility service.
