What people are saying
"I loved using Be My Eyes because I was able to speak to the Microsoft accessibility desk and gain assistance with disabling the media keys in the bios settings on my new Windows 11 laptop. Although I may have to gain help once more as it seems to have re-enabled itself, I was successfully able to get help with doing so before and really was glad this person was so helpful in doing so.”
Dominique, Be My Eyes user
“I was using Be My Eyes and my Meta glasses to go from one end of the store to the other on my lunch hour and I made it all the way there and back all by myself. That was so thrilling to me. This is giving me more courage and encouragement. Yea, this is going to change my whole life. It was so wonderful.”
