BeSpecular

Thank you to all the volunteers using our BeSpecular app! We are aware there’s an issue with the app crashing and notifications getting through. We’re working on it but as we’re a tiny team we hope you’ll be patient with us. #BeKind #shareyourvision #volunteer

@lkigai_ @______samira BeSpecular is also another great app to help the visually impaired! I get a request to help someone every other day. Not many people know about this one, as it’s not as widely used as ‘be my eyes’. Everyone should download both :)

Just helped someone on @BeSpecular, a great app which enables you to answer questions from blind or partially sighted users. Sign up! @actionhappiness

Also just used bespecular to get info on the time left on my Instant Pot. Seriously a very handy app when you need a question answered about a still picture.

For gishers looking for simple volunteer opportunities- this app is awesome! It’s called BeSpecular, and it is for people with sight to help blind people with every day tasks. I just downloaded it last night, and have already helped a couple of people today! #AMOKRA

@947 Please also check out @BeSpecular

Life Pro Tip: Got a couple free minutes? Help a low vision/blind individual by using apps like "Be my Eyes" or "BeSpecular".

Among visual interpreter apps that take a conversational, people-powered approach, @BeSpecular stands out as the most accessible for Deaf-Blind users. Letting people choose whether to work with voice or text is an inclusive design decision! twitter.com/dbscotland/sta…

LOVE this app! bespecular.com/download Be the eyes for someone else...download for free and spread a little love. @BeSpecular @APHfortheBlind @NCAdaptedPE @TracyNSharlow @NCPEID #APE #AdaptedPE #APEchatter #JustDoTheRightThing #MakeItHappen

Just used @BeSpecular and @AiraIO to find clues in a photo about where it was taken. Visual interpreters are happy to help with silly photo contests, not just "important" tasks 📸🎤💮

@PosiElsie Thanks for letting us know, Elsie, we’ll take a look. Sorry for all the frustration. Hope you enjoy your weekend!

Everyone should download @BeSpecular and be the eyes for someone else. You don’t realize how much you take for granted.

Just helped my first VIP on the @BeSpecular app! Such an amazing app. 👍👍👍👏👏

@tasiacustode @AccessibleMedia Hi Tasia, thanks for contacting us. We’d be happy for you to use the video. Please let us know if you need anything else. Thanks for the opportunity!

Hey @BeSpecular 👋🏻 We're working on featuring your app on @AccessibleMedia's AppTV. We love your press kit! Would we also be able to use your great video in our segment? Keep up the great work!

@WeeHilly5 @BeSpecular I have helped 15 people in 2 weeks and it's a win win for me and the person I have helped!! Plus very proud that one of the developers is a fellow South African!!!

@team_Brynn That’s so great to hear! Thanks for supporting us & our app!

@PosiElsie Hi Elsie, thanks for letting us know - we also received your email. Please don’t worry, the requests are sent to multiple volunteers to ensure an answer does get through to the VIP user.

@annettemboyer thats a great question! You’re welcome to use any color vocabulary like blue, green, yellow, etc. Visual impairedness is a scale, so some VIPs can see some colors depending eg on light. Also, some VIPs may have previously had sight and would know the colours you’re referring to

@BeSpecular - a genuine question for you and those who follow you: how would a sighted person using your app describe colors to VI people? I won't know if they had sight and lost it or never had sight. What's the most effective way to describe color when asked via your app?

@Takkiewax Hi Tandz, not sure what’s going on there. Would you mind sending us an email and @sonogiacomo can take a look for you as soon as possible :) hope you have a great weekend!

Is there a problem with the app? I'm trying to sign in but it keeps closing and opening and closing and opening. It hasn't happened until now. Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but nothing 😰😰@BeSpecular
