24.01.2022 Article - Being Their Eyes BY HARRIET FLINN ON AUGUST 5, 2021 https://westernindependent.com.au/20//05/being-their-eyes/ Blind citizens of WA are saying a new app is helping them with their everyday lives, and igniting conversation around the disability.... Be My Eyes website: https://www.bemyeyes.com/ Released in 2015, Be My Eyes is a free mobile app that assists the lives of blind and low-sighted people around the world, providing them with a new pair of virtual eyes. Video link: https://youtu.be/6GRfFuWsjNU The app is designed around the use of a video call, where blind and low-sighted individuals are connected with their sighted volunteer counterparts, essentially acting as their eyes, and helping them with everyday tasks. Grace King has been blind since birth, and says the app has had a significant impact on her life. It has definitely raised awareness and offered people who can see, a glimpse into the lives of people who are blind. she says. Grace King talks about her experiences with Be My Eyes. Video: Harriet Flinn https://videopress.com/v/xDFfwxed The app has almost five million volunteers in over 150 different countries. Savanna Kileff has been a Be My Eyes volunteer for almost one year, and has answered a number of calls, helping out blind app users from around the world. I actually first found out about the app on TikTok, and thought it was so amazing that I went straight to the app store to download it she says. I remember waiting patiently for my first call and when my phone finally rung, it was someone in their house, who was struggling to figure out the flavour of their cider bottles. She says she felt extremely helpful after picking up that first phone call, and says so many of us take vision for granted. If you have a phone, time, and two working eyes why not do it! Various statistics on vision impairment in Australia. Infographic: Harriet Flinn. Greg Madson is a senior consultant at GAM Industries, and has been helping create assistive disability technology for over eight years. He says the Be My Eyes app has been a huge step in the right direction. When you’re blind, you’re home and you’re by yourself, Be My Eyes acts as a voice of reason for so many blind people around the world. I have been working with vision impairment technology since 2013, and the app has definitely worked to create a more inclusive and accessible environment, he says. Creating easy-to-use and adaptive technology for visually impaired people is so important in our new-age tech-world, so this app is definitely helping to raise the standard for disability communication.

16.01.2022 What role does digital access and inclusion play in employment? Zel Iscel, Chair of Blind Citizens WA (West Australia), believes that the accessibility of local governments digital environment plays a significant role. [http://bcwa.org.au]... Local governments are urged to adopt and implement the Australian Standards, AS EN 301 549: Accessibility requirements suitable for public procurement of ICT products and services published by Standards Australia in 2016. In doing so, the ICT software and services can also be accessible. When local government authorities are questioned about the accessibility of their software, they often say there is no one employed who requires ICT to be accessible. Yet those who do require accessible software cannot get jobs because the software is not accessible, and so the vicious circle continues. Global Accessibility Awareness Day reminds us that if we want to be stronger and fairer organisations through a more diverse workforce, then the accessibility of our digital environment matters. #digital #inclusion #accessibility #a11y #ict #gaad #blind #employment #localgovernment #pwd #disability #australia https://lnkd.in/g34WzFr
