by Aira Tech Corp
Founded in 2015 and headquartered in San Diego, California, Aira has built a network of professional visual interpretation agents available at all hours. Access Partner agreements with major organisations worldwide make the service free for customers when visiting those locations.
Users open the Aira Explorer app, tap to connect, and a live Aira Agent views the smartphone camera stream to provide real-time narration and guidance. Agents assist with navigating buildings, reading signs and documents, shopping, managing computer tasks, completing paperwork, and more. An AI image description assistant within the app is always free and handles photo queries without drawing from paid call minutes.
Aira serves people who are blind or have low vision and want immediate, skilled human assistance for complex or time-sensitive tasks. It is widely used by professionals, students, and travellers who need reliable guidance beyond what AI alone currently provides.
