*Below is a note from Be My Eyes, an app I have been using now for over six
weeks with generally good success. I say generally because my issues have
centered around bad connection to a helper, resulting in occasional poor
resolution for a helper. The audio has always been quite good. Its a VERY
useful service. Heres a little history about the app that is worth
reading:*
Hi Hap,
Most people dont really know how Be My Eyes started in a little town in
Denmark called Aarhus. And though its now grown to a global community of
more than half a million people, it all started with one blind guy with a
great idea.
Our founder Hans Jørgen is not a software developer. Nor would he describe
himself as particularly tech-savvy. He is visually impaired, trained in
philosophy and works as a craftsman. But first and foremost, Hans Jørgen has
big ideas and a deep interest in improving society however possible.
In the following video from a conference in Copenhagen, Hans Jørgen tells
the story of how he came up with the idea for a simple app that has become a
small revolution in the world of volunteering:
