Be My Eyes App: Demonstration and Review. An App for Blind, Low Vision, and Visually Impaired 

Hi, I'm blind and I have this app on my device, but I still don't have access to Be my AI. My blind friend is trying to help me get access. He emailed them for me. I don't use a phone.

Hi, thank you so much for watching this video and for the comment. I completely agree, apps like this are amazing and help us for Blind or visually impaired so much. It’s awesome to know that there’s so many people willing to take time out of their day to help us with something when we call. It’s amazing, thanks again for watching this video, it’s so great to hear from you. And thank you so much for subscribing, I appreciate it! Talk to you again soon. Matt

Hi! Thank you so much for watching this video and for the comment. It is nice that you downloaded the app and that you enjoyed so much! It definitely is very helpful, it is nice to have the option to have this app. It’s great! Thanks so much for being here and for your support, I sincerely appreciate it! See you again tomorrow, Monday in the next video :-) Matt

Likewise..the only app i downloaded from youtube..😇

Hi! Thank you so much for checking out this video! LOL, I agree, the people who created this app are doing amazing things, it is so cool! Thanks for your support! We are happy to have you here

Is there any download link

Hi, that’s a good question, I don’t have any links to download, you can probably search for it in the App Store. :-) Thanks so much for your support

Hi! Thank you so much for watching this video. LOL, I didn’t even catch that part. This volunteer was so incredibly helpful, I am grateful for people like her and all of the other volunteers who are available to help us. The volunteers are definitely changing lives, it is amazing! Thanks again for watching this and for being part of this channel, your support means a lot to me :-) Matt

I noticed that too. She did so well, I kept getting nervous as he was approaching the curb but she told him to watch out for it!

Hi! Wow, congratulations on helping for the first time! That is so amazing! I’m excited for you and the opportunity that you had. I’m glad that it was a good one, thank you for everything you are doing! It is people like you were taking time out of your busy day to help us in the blind and visually impaired community and it means so much! Thank you for being a volunteer, you are definitely changing lives! :-) Matt

@@BlindtoBillionaire Thank you Matt and of course! I'm always happy to help! -Tori

Thank you! It is so nice of you to be part of this app and be available to help people like me! Maybe you will be my volunteer some time when I called, that would be so funny and fun! Have a wonderful day, hopefully you will enjoy my video that will be released in about seven hours! Matt

Hey Jessica! It’s so nice to hear from you. I have never tried a RIA, but I have heard a lot of great things about it. Rather than being volunteers, the agents are specialized and trained to help blind and visually impaired people. However, from my experience with Be My Eyes, the people have been very helpful and very nice. I’m very happy with the app and will definitely be using it. It’s such a great app for all of us were blind or visually impaired. Thanks Jessica, I appreciate you watching this video and reaching out! It’s so nice to hear from you :-) Matt

Jessica Eden hey Jessica! I just came across your name and wanted to reach out to you! I hope all is going well :-) Matt

Very true but, cus they’re volunteers it can be hit or miss and they don’t have access to your GPS like Aira does but; it’s great to have both options.

Jessica Watson I love Airas free option!

Hey Jessica! It’s nice to hear from you :-) well, it has been a long time :-) hope you and your family are doing well

Hi! Thank you so much for watching this video and for producing such an amazing app! I have only used it a few times, but it has been absolutely life-changing the few times that I have! I am so grateful to all of the volunteers who take time out of their day to help us who are blind or visually impaired. This is an amazing app and I’m so excited to have it. The agents that I have worked with have all been very nice and very helpful, I am impressed! Thanks again for your contribution to the blind and visually impaired community and for making our lives a little bit easier! Absolutely amazing what you have done for us! And I appreciate you watching this video and reaching out to me! I hope we can talk and connect again soon, Matt

Hi! I just had another thought, would you be interested in sharing this video on your social media and your RU-vid channel? If you were interested, I would love to collaborate and work with you on promoting your amazing app and getting it out in front of more people. Thank you! I sincerely appreciate it! Matt

Hi! You’re very welcome, thank you so much for watching this video! I love this community and connect with everybody, it’s always nice to connect with somebody else who is visually impaired or blind, I’m always here for you, please never hesitate to reach out to me! It’s awesome that you were recently approved for orientation and mobility training, I actually just started mine last year, so I was also very new to it as well. Thanks once again for being here, enjoy your night and hopefully I’ll see you again soon

We're here to help!

Hi! Thank you so much for watching. Yes, this is amazing! I’m so glad this video was helpful to you and to give you a demonstration :-) thanks so much for the nice message, it’s nice to have you as part of this community :-)

Unfortunate that she bought an iPhone.

Hi! Thank you so much for watching this video. That is amazing, there are so many volunteers in comparison to the people who need help on this app. It is so amazing to see how many people take time out of their busy day to help people like me who are blind or visually impaired. Thank you so much for doing that, you are changing lives! It’s because of people like you that make our lives so much easier :-) thanks again for watching this video and for being part of this channel, your support means a lot to me :-) Matt

@@BlindtoBillionaire if everyone do something, even just a little thing to help and change the world . Our world would have been a better place. Always take care and know somewhere around the world, someone cares :)

Hi, that is so true! All it takes is just a little bit of effort on everyone’s part and it would be such a better place here! But yes I completely agree, we just need to look out for each other :-) thanks for the nice comment. Matt

Hi, that is so true! If everybody just made a little bit more effort, it would be an even better place. We all just need to look out for each other :-) thank you for the nice comment. Matt

Hi! That is so cool you were teaching your godmother how to use this app. It is very simple and is a great app for all of us who are blind or visually impaired! I have only used it a few times, but it has been very helpful for the few times that I have! Thank you for showing her, hopefully she will find some independence with the use of this app. Thanks again for watching it, it’s always nice to hear from you :-) Matt

Living With Low Vision what pet of Chile?

Erbio hi, thank you for reaching out to Fernanda! She is a great friend :-) thank you for watching this video :-) Matt

@@erbio7984 she's from Talca

I was thinking the same have you taken any calls yet?

@@jesseserfling6807 not yet, I signed up as a spanish speaking volunteer so I guess it may take a while

Hi! Thank you for watching this video and thank you so much for signing up as a volunteer! That is so cool of you to do. It’s awesome that even though you have a retinitis pigmentosa, you are still willing to be a volunteer even though you have usable good central vision. That is awesome, very inspiring! Thank you so much for everything you’re doing, it means a lot to all of us! It is people like you who make our lives easier :-) thanks again for all your continued support, talk to you again soon, Matt also one more thing, if you want to, feel free to tell the people that you speak to on the app about this RU-vid channel! That would be so awesome of you! Thank you, Matt

Hey Jesse! That is so cool of you to consider volunteering! Both of you guys, that is so cool to volunteer even though both of you still have a retinitis pigmentosa. I mean, this is so inspiring! I wish I could volunteer, but I cannot see the screen on my phone. Or even my surroundings. If either of you are interested, feel free to tell the people that you help about this RU-vid channel as they may benefit from it as well! Thank you, you guys rock! Matt

Hi! Thanks for watching the video, I’m so happy to hear that you have the app and I’ve had such great experiences with it. I agree, there are some really great volunteers on here. I have had a few myself! Thanks again for the feedback, I’m glad you enjoyed the video and that you were utilizing the app. Have a great Sunday! See you again tomorrow. Matt

Jessica, that is really sad that you were denied services because you live in the country. Be my eyes, glasses with a camera, and a RIAR not the solution. I apologize and feel bad that you had to deal with that. LOL, I love your idea of having been my eyes help me go out to find a gift for Corey. LOL, she probably loves that idea too. We will see about that. She will need to earn it! However, I could use the app to go out and buy a secret surprise item for one of my great friends here on the channel, it could be you ;-) if you happen to get a chance, watch my video that I uploaded last night. I’m going to be doing the self promotional video project once again. It would be awesome if you were able to submit a video! Thanks again Jessica, have a great day! Matt

Hi, I agree with you. This is amazing! As someone like me who is visually impaired with very limited vision, it is a nice app to have on my phone in the event I am in a situation where I need help immediately. It is so nice, I have used it a few times and the volunteers have been incredibly helpful. I am very grateful to have such an amazing app! :-)

Hey Abby, I completely agree with you. It is a little bit weird to call and talk to someone and ask them for assistance and to make ourselves vulnerable to that person. However, I have had some great experiences with some very nice and helpful volunteers. It’s a nice app to have in the event we need it, but probably not an app that we will use all that often. I’m glad you enjoyed the video and I’m glad that you already have the app in the event you need it. It’s great to hear from you Abby :-) Matt

Hi! Thank you so much for watching this video and for reaching out with your comment, and thank you for signing up as a volunteer on be my eyes, that is amazing! People like me and other people in the blind and visually impaired community and rely on people like you who are very generous with your time to help us, thank you! What you are doing is very valuable to us, thank you for being so generous! I hope you’re having a great day, I look forward to hearing from you again sometime soon. Matt

Hi! LOL, your messages always make me laugh because of the images that you leave. You’re so creative. I love the leafy tree, mobile phone, and there was another new one in there but I don’t recall what it was. LOL, I love it! I’m glad you enjoyed the video, this app is amazing! You should definitely try it out sometime :-) yes I injured my thumb a little over a month ago. It does not hurt at all. In fact, I don’t even know it looks bad until someone says something to me. LOL. See you again later today in another video! Have a great afternoon :-) Matt

Good morning Larry! Could be my eyes is amazing, I love this app. I have only used it a couple times, but it’s amazing. It is so easy to use and great on iOS! :-) Thanks for watching this video, hopefully you’re able to also utilize the app. Have a great Fourth of July. Matt

Hey Thomas, LOL, hopefully she didn’t see Corey. That would be so cool of you if you decided to be a volunteer! If you do, maybe you can tell each person that you help about this RU-vid channel! :-) That would be so awesome of you :-) thanks Thomas, you were way too nice! Matt

@@BlindtoBillionaire hahahaha lol. Well I tried signing up but they kept giving me a error.

Good morning Thomas! Oh no, that’s too bad, You will need to try again later. That is so cool of you to want to volunteer and help all of us! And, of course, to tell everybody about this RU-vid channel! :-) Thanks Thomas, have a great day! Matt

@@BlindtoBillionaire it would be cool if you are one of the people that I help 🙂

Hey Thomas! That would be awesome! We wouldn’t even need you to help me, we would just sit and chat like friends :-) LOL that would be really cool!

Hi! Thank you, that is so nice of you :-) I’m so glad that you enjoy our videos and that they make you have a nice and better day :-) that is so cool! Have a nice Monday, we’ll see you again soon in the next video :-) your friends, Madeline Corey

Hi Jerry! No, I did not have a cane. It just my phone and Corey was near me somewhere recording all this on video. I was just walking, slowly, but still walking on my own. The person that was helping me was great. I have had a couple people who were not very helpful at all and kind of rude, but this person in particular was great! I’m so grateful to all of the volunteers on here who take the time out of their day to help us, it is so cool! I think you’ll find this app to be very helpful at times when it is needed. It’s not something that I use all the time, but when I do need it or want to use it, it is really nice to have! Thanks again for watching this :-) have a lovely day! Matt

Hi Joe! Thank you for watching this video! As they say, it is better later than never :-) LOL. I appreciate all of your very nice words, that means a lot to me. We can definitely continue to talk and be friends here on the channel, I would love to continue our conversation! There are a lot of amazing people in this community and I am glad to have you as part of it. Thanks again for the very nice message, hopefully hear from you again sometime soon. Have a nice weekend and see you on Monday :-) Matt

Hi, yes, it is not one of those apps that you will use very often, but when you need it, it is definitely very nice to have! So far I have only used it a few times and the agents have been very helpful with the exception of one. The other people have been very nice and very helpful! I’m glad to have it and will use it sparingly, but will use it at times when it is necessary. I think you’ll enjoy it when you do! :-) Matt

Blind to Billionaire Have you tried Aira? I think there’s a few locations like Walgreens where you can use it for free, or so I’ve been told.

Hi, no, I have not tried it. Really? I didn’t know you could use it in different locations for free! That is very cool, I will need to do research on this and see which other stores or locations I could possibly use the app to try it out. That’s great information to know! Thank you for telling me :-) mad

I just downloaded the App as a volunteer. My thought About bad volunteers is that if a user isn’t finding a volunteer to be helpful they could just end the call and call back to get a different volunteer. If you want to ask a potentially dangerous question like which medicine is which, call four times and make sure they all identify the meds the same. Just ideas.

Hi! Thank you for watching this video. That is so cool that you just downloaded the app as a volunteer, thank you so much for doing that, it truly means a lot to all of us who are blind or visually impaired and rely on this app to help us occasionally. I think you will absolutely love helping when you receive a call :-) thank you once again! I agree, if a volunteer is not helpful for the situation needed, we can always call back and talk to someone else. At one point, I called four different times in a row and got four different people each time. I think the likelihood of getting the same person more than once is probably unlikely. Thanks again for volunteering and for watching this video, I hope to connect with you further and get to know more about you. Have a great day, Matt

Hey Michelle! Yes, it’s a great app to have on our phone. Although we may not use it all that often, it’s nice to have the app in the event we get lost or need assistance immediately. As you can see in the video, and someone answers relatively quickly and they are able to help with just about anything. It’s a very nice app to have at our disposal when we need it. Thanks for watching this, I’m glad you enjoyed it :-) mad

Hi! Thank you so much for watching this video and for the comment. That is so cool that you downloaded the app and will become a volunteer as a result of this video. Thank you so much, people like you who take time out of your busy day to help people like me who are blind or visually impaired makes a huge difference, thank you so much! Also, thank you for being here on the community and for subscribing, I sincerely appreciate your support! Hope to see you again soon. Matt

Good morning! Thank you so much for watching this video. I’m glad that you found it to be helpful! Also, thank you for being a volunteer, it is so nice of people like you to take time out of your day to help people like me! Who knows, maybe when I call sometime I will connect with you and you can help me! LOL :-) thank you once again for your support here on the channel, I truly appreciate it! Enjoy your day, I will see you again soon.

Blind to Billionaire I got my first successful call just a couple of hours later! I was so excited but I had nothing to be nervous over. It was awesome. And maybe! That would be a big coincidence. Thanks again for posting this. It helped me be less nervous for that call. Can’t wait for my next one.

That is so cool! Congratulations, I’m so glad that you got a call right away and it was so successful, that is really encouraging and exciting! Again, thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day and schedule to help people who are blind or visually impaired, that’s amazing! I’m so grateful for all of the volunteers :-) thank you, hopefully we can connect sometime! LOL :-)

Hi! Thank you very much for watching this video and for reaching out to me. That is so awesome you are a volunteer for a Be My Eyes, thank you very much! It is people like you who are generous with your time that we are so grateful to know and have at our fingertips. Thank you for being so generous and being so open to helping blind and visually impaired people. I know it may sound so basic, but people like you make our lives so much easier and better when we have the opportunity to connect with you for assistance. I sincerely appreciate you helping us! Thank you again for watching this video, it’s nice to meet you and have you here on this channel! If you ever have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me, it would be a lot of fun to connect with you again! Have a great day, Matt

Tech of The Blind I’m at 70, but it seems too slow, so I can see going up 5 or 10% more.

Nice! Depending on what I’m doing, I oscillate between 85% and 100%. I like it fast. LOL. Plus, it gives me some privacy since people around me can’t understand what it is saying so I can just listen to my phone out loud and it doesn’t even matter. LOL. Sighted people, LOL, they’re so naïve. :-)

Hey Kia! Good plan, I’m sure you can handle another five or 10%!

Hi, thanks so much for watching this video in for the comment. Thank you for downloading the app as a volunteer, people like you are would make our lives so much easier. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to help someone who is blind or visually impaired. Actually, all of the people I have talk to you rarely get calls as well. Maybe one call every month or two at the most. There are a huge number of volunteers in relation to the number of blind people. Either way, it is the thought that counts so thank you so much for doing this! I’m not sure what is going on with the app, possibly try to delete it and re-download it or turn off your phone and turn it back on. Or maybe there is a pending update for the app. Just not sure, thanks again for being here, your support means a lot to me. Matt

Hi! I’m so sorry for the delay in writing back to you, thank you so much for watching this video and for the comment. I love your innovation and ingenuity. It is amazing, yes there is this app, but there are definitely other needs in this community for the blind and visually impaired. I definitely think you are onto something. There are other applications for the services that you want to provide. I love your idea and it is so cool that you thought of something so innovative to help the blind and visually impaired and to help raise money to support your family :-) thanks again for being here and for being such a great friend and all of your continued support. I sincerely appreciate you subscribing to my channel :-) have a great day and talk to you again soon. Matt

Good morning! Congratulations, that is so cool and thank you so much for taking time out of your day to help people! That is amazing. Who knows, maybe you will get to talk to me someday! :-) Thank you once again for helping out, it truly means a lot to all of us in the blind and visually impaired community :-) have a wonderful day and thanks for being here, Matt

@0BleuFever0 no, i signed up months ago and i’ve only had 2, neither of which i got to in time to answer, there are a lot of volunteers tho haha

Hi! Thank you so much for watching this video and for the comment. Hopefully this video will give some clarity on how we use this app. I really appreciate you watching this, thanks so much for being here, your friendship and support means a lot to me! Have a nice day and thank you once again :-) Matt

Yeah a company should make a phone that specialize in voice commands

Hi, that would be amazing! The iPhone can be operated through Siri with voice commands, but he fully operational phone through voice commands would be pretty amazing as well. Thank you so much for watching this video :-) Matt

Hi, that’s very true and a great point, FaceTime or other apps that allow video sharing is a great way to approach this as well. Be my eyes is a great app and it’s nice to have during times when no one else is available to help us. I’m glad to hear you are family and friends who are available to help you! That is very nice to hear :-) thanks for watching this video! Matt

Hey Jason! Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Yes, the volunteer was very helpful in this video! In fact, I called right before this agent and had a different person who was terrible. We decided to re-record the video and call to connect with a different agent. The girl in this video was very helpful and very nice. You will get people from time to time for not very helpful, but this person was definitely great! Glad you enjoyed the video, hopefully you can use the app at some point. Thanks again my friend, Matt that shit

Hey buddy, I look forward to trying it soon as well. I wanted to point out, whether it was lovely voiceover, or auto correction, the last part of your message is pretty great. you might want to check it out. Just in case you don’t want anyone else to see that. You’re the best bro.

Hi! Thank you for watching this video. You know far more than I do and have much more experience with these apps than I do. I appreciate your feedback and how you use the apps. In fact, it would probably be a good idea for us to make a collaboration video of us discussing the differences between be my eyes and a R I a. Maybe you can discuss some of the Strank’s in weakness is between each app and what each one offers. I think it would be very good coming from someone like you who uses both of the apps versus me who only uses Be My Eyes every so often. We can discuss this further if you are interested, but I think people would really enjoy hearing your perspective. Thanks again for watching this, you’re a great friend :-) mad

Hi! Thank you so much for watching this video and for the comment. It is nice that you were willing to be a volunteer and help us who are blind or visually impaired. This app is so incredibly nice and the people are so generous with their time to help us when we need help in certain situations. It means a lot to all of us in this community to have this type of app and so many generous people who are willing to help us when we need it. Thank you very much for being such an amazing person and being so generous. Also, thank you very much for subscribing and being here on the channel, I sincerely appreciate your support! Have a nice day, talk to you again soon :-) Matt

Hi, that is OK that you were apprehensive. No worries at all, it is completely understandable. I hope everything goes well for you, and thank you so much again for watching! I hope you are doing well. Matt

Hi! Thank you so much for watching this video, I’m so glad that you enjoyed it! It is very cool, I agree with you! Thanks for all of your support on this channel, it really means a lot to me! I hope all is well, I have a cool announcement in tomorrow’s bonus video otherwise hope to see you on Monday :-) and I have a very cool video coming out next Thursday, you definitely want to watch it! Thanks again, Matt

Hi! You’re very welcome, and thank you so much for watching this and for your support on this channel, it truly means a lot to me! Hope to see you again soon. Matt

Hi! Thank you so much for watching this video and for reaching out to me. It is so great to hear from you! Thank you for becoming a volunteer, that is amazing! People like me rely on a very generous people like you to help us when we need it. Thank you so much for doing that and for supporting me and this channel! I hope you’re having a great day, I look forward to hearing from you again soon. Matt

Hi! Thank you for watching the video, yes, this is a great app and has been very helpful to me the few times that I’ve used it. Occasional you may get a volunteer who is not very nice or very helpful, but my experience is that the majority of them are very nice and very helpful! I think you’ll be very pleased when you do use it. Let me know how it goes once you do! Thanks again for watching and for reaching out, nice to hear from you :-) have a great day, Matt

Hi! Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video and the app. It is an amazing app which I have really enjoyed using!. Yes, thank you for noticing. I smashed my thumb a couple weeks ago doing a demolition job. It hurt at the time, but does not hurt anymore. Unless somebody says something about it, I don’t even know that looks bad. LOL. I guess that is one benefit of not being able to see it. LOL have a great day, thanks again for watching! Matt

Hi, yes, this is definitely for everybody around the world. I hope you’re able to take it vantage of it! :-) Thanks again for watching this video :-) Matt

Hey Jesse! Thanks for watching, that is so cool of you to volunteer! I mean, this is so inspiring and awesome of you to do! If you were interested, feel free to tell the people that you help about this RU-vid channel as it may be helpful to them as well! Thanks Jesse, you’re an amazing person!, Truly, you’re an amazing and very thoughtful person! I’m so happy to know you and be friends with you :-) Matt

Hi! Thank you so much for watching this video and very the very nice comment. I agree with you, she did an amazing job and I’m very grateful for the opportunity I had to speak with her. I’m glad you enjoyed the demonstration. Thank you so much for subscribing, your support means a lot to me! Have a nice day and I hope to hear from you again sometime soon. :-) MATT

Hi! Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed the video and thought it to be informative. That is actually a great question, I am actually only called volunteers on this app a few times to ask for help. I have not encountered that, however, I think it would be very easy to overlook or forget it as a volunteer. Even people who know me very well like my family sometimes forget that I cannot see very well or cannot see your most things. So yes, I’m sure the volunteers do forget it at times as well. Thanks again, I hope this answers your questions :-) see you again in tomorrow’s video. Also, thank you very much for subscribing, I sincerely appreciate your friendship and support :-) Matt

Hi my friend :-) I’m glad you enjoyed the video and the app. We always get so excited when we see a reply from you, you are ours sweetie pie :-) that is what we call you at our house, our sweetie pie from Ohio :-) Corey says hi sweetie pie! Have a nice evening, hugs and cuddles :-) Matt

Hi, thank you very much for watching this video and for subscribing to the channel, it is great to hear from you and I sincerely appreciate your support. I hope you enjoy my next video which will be released in just a few hours. Matt

lmfaoooo

LOL

Bahahah

Hi, LOL, I love it! Let me guess, it was at 220 V? LOL, that would be scary and I would highly recommend it that volunteer does not get involved with electricity. That is a pretty funny joke though! Thank you very much for watching this video and for subscribing, I sincerely appreciate your support! Have a great day and I look forward to hearing from you again sometime soon :-) Matt

Good morning Sam! Thank you for all the encouragement, that is so nice of you. Yes I am not sure how she spotted the bench, but she did. It was a really cool experience to work with that person. I have called the volunteers on Be My Eyes a few times and they have been incredibly helpful and nice, it is just so great to have the ability to call somebody to get assistance in a matter of a minute or two. I don’t use the app all that often, but just knowing that it is there and available to me at my disposal is what matters. As for your question about using this app in the grocery store to read labels, I think that would definitely work. Maybe you will need to try it out sometime, but I think that would definitely help. It’s always so great to hear from you, I hope you’re having a great summer and doing well! Have a nice Monday :-) and once again, thank you so much for watching this and for all of your encouragement, that really means a lot to me :-) Matt

Hi my friend! I’m glad you enjoyed the video, it was very helpful and hopefully valuable to many people. Thank you, the area is pretty nice! We enjoy it :-) have a great evening, talk to you again soon! Matt

Hi, glad you enjoyed the video. I agree with you, abs are definitely very helpful for all of us with low vision. They make our lives so much easier. Thanks again for watching the video. See you again on Thursday. Max

@@BlindtoBillionaire Part of the excitement is having a glimpse into your world. For instance, I've never thought about the fact that people with low vision would knit, especially with color. My apologies for my ignorance. But this learning for me is what makes it intriguing.

Hi! I’m so glad that you enjoyed the video. No need to apologize. I’m just glad that you were here and enjoying the videos. Your support means a lot to me! There a duck definitely a lot of questions out there that many people do not understand which is why we have this channel and many of these videos to help educate and help the general public understand blindness and visual impairment :-) thanks again, see you tomorrow in the next video. Matt

Hi Tony! That is so nice that you have the app, I would recommend that you try using it sometime! I think you’ll find it to be very helpful and you’ll be very happy with the experience that you have. But just know, sometimes you may get a volunteer who is not very helpful or very nice. But the majority of the people are very nice and very helpful! All good! I’m so happy you made it to the gym again, I feel a little bit jealous that you went to the gym without me :-) LOL, I thought we were gym buddies! LOL. Very happy to hear that you’re getting back into it! Have a great day Tony :-) Matt

@@BlindtoBillionaire lol I'll pretend my gym buddie is you 😊 Even tho my gym buddie is a lady ..

LOL Tony! I’m glad that you think your gym buddy is me, just keep thinking that! Every time you go to the gym, just imagine that it is me! What do you enjoy doing at the gym to work out? It would be so much fun to work out together and to be gym buddies in real life, not just pretend :-) you were my gym buddy too, every time I am there I am Magent that my dear friend Tony is right there with me working out! :-) Mad

@@BlindtoBillionaire I love the treadmill then the bike ,glider, floor workouts the punch bag ,kettlebell, The rope 😊

Well Tony! You are intense! That’s awesome, we would be the perfect gym buddies, except for we will probably get lost sometimes. LOL and you might punch me thinking that I am the punching bag. LOL. That would be fun to work out with you! :-)

Hi! Thank you so much for watching this video and for the great comment. Also, thank you for volunteering, it is people like you who are absolutely changing the lives of people like me. It is just so cool that you take time out of your busy day to be there for someone who is blind or visually impaired and need some assistance. I hope you are able to get a call sometime soon and have a great interaction with that person. Thanks again, I would love to hear how it goes if you were comfortable sharing after you have your call. Thank you once again for being here, I appreciate your support on this channel :-)

Thank you I hope if you need my help you can call me and I can help

And I do not mind sharing

Hi, that would be very cool if you were my volunteer! That would be so cool. I think he will love the interaction once you’re able to connect with somebody. I just want you to recognize that it could be a few weeks or maybe even a month until you get a call. From the people I have talked to you, many of them have said they don’t get all that many calls and it is usually only about one every few weeks or month. I do not want you to be discouraged, but just letting you know. Thanks again for being a volunteer, and I really appreciate your support here on this channel :-)

wolfgirl rocky thank you, that would be so awesome to connect with you. Have a great day and see you tomorrow in the next video. Matt

Hi my friend :-) so nice to hear from you again! It is awesome to hear that you have the Be My Eyes app, I think if you ever have the chance to use it you will be very happy and impressed. It also depends on who you get as a volunteer. Some of the people are very good, while others are not so good but generally I have had really good experiences. Thank you for the clarification on the special tea tab, that makes perfect sense. I appreciate you reaching out about this information. Thanks again for watching, as always, it is so nice to hear from you :-) have a great weekend, I look forward to talking to you again! Matt

Hi, Matt! No problem. If you need any information and I happen to have it, I will definitely provide it. I feel like this community is all about providing as much information as possible to one another. On an unrelated note, I have a question. I want to do some tags in my channel. Do you mind if I tag you? I plan to do the Disabilities Misconceptions Tag and the Blind/,,vi RU-vidr Tag. Carrie tagged you in the second one, by the way.

Hi! I completely agree with you, this community is all about sharing information and resources to everybody so that we can be as independent as we possibly can with as much freedom as we can. It’s a great community and a lot of us share such valuable information. Yes, you’re absolutely welcome to take me in anyway that you want to. I have a question for you, please forgive me for my ignorance. And, before I ask, please do not take offense to this. May I ask, have you been blind your entire life? Are you totally blind? Based on your videos and what I remember about you, I think you are totally blind from what I recall. And possibly have been from birth or from a young age. Please correct me if I am wrong and once again, I hope that you do not take it offense to this. I am asking for a specific reason, because I’m wanting to find a couple people who are blind from a very young age or from birth and you were totally blind to do some type of collaboration videos with. There are so many questions out there that people have for others who are blind from birth and who are totally blind. I think it would be a very interesting collaboration video if you were at all interested. Thanks, I hope you’re having a great weekend! I’m excited to hear from you again :-) Matt

Hi, Matt! No worries. I take no offense to your question. I get asked this question all the time. Before, I was unwilling to answer it, but now I don't care. I think it's a valid question in certain circumstances. It truly depends on the person. For example, as I continue to learn, I feel that, if the person I encounter is showing me pity, I wouldn't answer. I've been blind since birth. I was diagnosed with Retinoblastoma when I was five months old. I had a tumor in one eye and I got surgery. However, the doctor or doctors (I don't know which) operated on the wrong eye, so the tumor spread. I got another operation, resulting in my complete blindness. Although the diagnosis was at five months, we usually say I was born blind. I never saw anything beforehand, so, most of the time, I don't go into the story. However, I'm more open to going into detail now. I don't mind telling my story to people. This, again, depends on the people. I would be interested in a colaboration. I think it would be awesome. It would actually be my very first one. What type of video would it be? Also, how would we do it? Would it be a video on each of our channels and mention it's a colaboration or would I send you a video and you guys will edit it and post in your channel? Would it be another way? If it's accessible, I'm all for it.

Good morning, thank you very much for sharing your story and more information about yourself. It is really fun getting to know more about you. I completely agree, since the surgery happened at such a young age, I think it is relevant to say that you were born blind. In other words, you do not have any recollection of what anything looks like prior to the surgery and the loss of vision. Again, please don’t take offense to anything I’m going to say which I don’t think you will, but I just want you to know that I’m asking these questions and making the suggestions as a way to learn more about you and help other people understand blindness. I’m just sharing my potential collaboration ideas as I get many of these questions but I’m on able to answer them. I’m sure you have heard many of these questions already. I have had numerous people ask me questions such as, what do blind people see when they dream? What does color look like it is up to a blind person? What does it look like to be blind? I’m sure you have heard all of these questions and know all of the common ones. I was thinking to be very interesting to make a video of you answering these questions. The reason I am not relevant to answer these questions is because I lived roughly the first 27 years of my life with relatively decent vision. So when I dream, I can still see vivid images from when I actually had vision earlier in my life. I also know what colors look like because I have seen them so even though my vision is very poor now, I can still visualize many of the things I’ve seen previously in my life. But I’ve been thinking about it and thought it would be very interesting to do a collaboration video with someone who has been blind from birth and who has no recollection of what something looks like from previous years. In the situation, you would be an excellent person for this video since you lost your vision at such a young age. Let me know your thoughts, how would you like to approach this, and is this something you would even be interested in doing? I think it would be very informative and educational for many people as there’s so much confusion and miss information regarding blindness. Let me know your thoughts and we will go from there. Thanks again, have a great Sunday it’s great to hear from you! Matt

It’s really cool to have the ability for the agent to look through the camera now. That is an awesome feature and app. However, I could see how many people could possibly abuse this by calling and just talking to people because they are bored and lonely. Overall, it’s a great app and has helped me a lot so far. Thanks again, Matt

Good morning Lenny! Yes, that app is very helpful and fun. I’m really glad to have it. Well, I was a little bit apprehensive walking around since she was guiding me through the camera on my phone and could easily missed something, not only that as a result of losing my vision, by default I typically walk with a little bit of hesitation unless I am with someone that I trust. There of just been way too many times that I have tripped on something, walked into something, or hit my face on something that I don’t really trust a whole lot of situations anymore. It’s a gray it’s a great app and I’m really glad to have it. I have connected with a couple great volunteers. Yes that date was very nice and sunny! We will be riding the bike again this weekend :-) have a great Friday Lenny, see you again soon :-) Matt

​@@BlindtoBillionaire❤❤❤❤ great demonstration

Hi, thank you very much for watching this video and for reaching out to me with your question. Yes, we actually just edit the videos on our iPhones with iMovie. It is a free software that comes with an iPhone. I would highly recommend you start a RU-vid channel. If there’s anything I can do to help answer any questions or be of assistance of any kind, please reach out to me and let me know, I will help in anyway I can :-) I hope this was helpful. Otherwise there is a lot of editing software out there that a person can use, we just use iMovie which is basic, but it gets the job done. Thank you again :-) Matt

Hi, you’re welcome, and thank you very much for watching! Glad to hear that you enjoyed the video :-) have a great day, talk to you again soon, Matt

Hi, that’s awesome! It’s a really cool app and very helpful. I’m glad you also use it and enjoy it! Thanks for watching :-) Matt

Blind to Billionaire I don’t use it. I just like the video I mean

Hi, thank you, I appreciate your nice words! Glad that you enjoyed the video :-) Matt

Hi! Thank you so much for watching. I agree with you, she did an excellent job! This was so cool, thank you for watching :-) I truly appreciate it! Enjoy your day, I hope this video was helpful :-)

Hi! Thank you for watching this video. Oh great, that makes perfect sense! Thank you for the clarification of the other options on the app. I wasn’t sure what they meant and I was a little bit nervous to click on the tab because I wasn’t sure what it would do. Thank you for clarifying! And once again, thank you for watching this video! It’s a great app for all of us were blind originally impaired. Have a lovely day! Matt

No problem@@BlindtoBillionaire I've been using it for a while as well. Used it a few times when my laptop went nuts or something wouldn't work. Used it to unpack everything my family got at the store and to tell me if I had a box of cornflakes or all bran in my hand. I had some help with a few tins of food as well. The app's also not to heavy on data use and that's great if you are in a country where the data's quite expensive or when your WI-FI kicked the bucket when you need it the most. If you aren't sure about something or want more info on it, I'll help you if you want. It's what I do best. (smirk)

Hi, that’s great that you’ve used it up around the house and for different tasks. It’s great for those purposes! Plus it’s just nice to be able to talk to a human versus always having everything automated and electronic. It’s nice to actually connect with another human and have someone to talk to for a minute or two. I’m glad that the app has been helpful to you! I appreciate your willingness to help me, that’s very kind of you! I may just take you up on it :-) mad

Glad to help @@BlindtoBillionaire 👍

Thank you for this clarification! That is great to know. :-) Matt

Thank you! I’m glad that you enjoy the idea in the video :-) thanks so much for watching! See you again on Thursday in the next video. Matt
