Interview with Be My Eyes Hans Wiberg and Community Directer Alexander Jensen: Specialized Help and Community Stories


Listen Later

Be My Eyes is the ever growing creation of Hans Wiberg. He envisioned a service that would help the Blind and Visually Impaired have a means of connecting with volunteers to assist with a task and thus becoming their eyes for a few minutes. This idea was launched 3 years ago and I had the privilege of interviewing Hans. Well, here we are 3 years later and Hans has brought the Be My Eyes App to the world. With over 64,000 users and an astonishing number of volunteers, nearly a million, and 24/7 service, Be My Eyes is still adding features that will enhance the opportunities and give answers to those connecting to a volunteer through the Be My Eyes app.

We here from some users and volunteers about their experiences and Alexander tells us about the Specialized help launching with Microsoft Help Desk at your finger-tips.

You can get the Be My eyes app for your iPhone or Android phone.
