Be My Eyes for Computer

For students who are blind or legally blind, accessing visual information on a computer screen can be one of the biggest barriers to learning unless you have an APP like Be My Eyes on Computer. Whether it’s a graph in science class, a diagram in math, a picture in a digital textbook, or an unlabeled image on a website, visual content often goes unexplained — unless someone is available to describe it.

Be My Eyes now solves this problem directly on your computer.

What Be My Eyes Can Do on a Computer

When installed on a PC or Mac, Be My Eyes can:

• Describe graphs, charts, and diagrams
• Explain pictures, illustrations, and maps
• Identify objects or images in digital textbooks
• Summarize visual layouts on websites
• Clarify icons, buttons, or menus that are not labeled
• Provide context for images that screen readers cannot interpret

This is especially powerful for students who are legally blind and need immediate access to visual information without waiting for a teacher, aide, or parent.

How It Works

1. Open the Be My Eyes app on your computer.
2. Take a screenshot or upload the image you want described.
3. Use the “Ask About This Image” feature.
4. Type your question — or simply ask:
   • “What is shown in this graph?”
   • “Describe the picture on the screen.”
   • “What does this diagram represent?”
   • “What is happening in this image?”

The AI will give a clear, detailed description that students can use immediately for classwork, homework, or studying.

Why This Matters for Blind and Low‑Vision Students

Visual content is everywhere in school — especially in math, science, social studies, and digital learning platforms. Without access, students fall behind academically and lose independence.

Be My Eyes gives students the ability to:

• Access visual information instantly
• Work independently without waiting for help
• Understand graphs and diagrams in real time
• Participate fully in class assignments
• Build confidence and autonomy

For students who are legally blind, this tool is not optional — it is essential.

When to Use Be My Eyes vs. Other Tools

• Be My Eyes: For describing images, graphs, diagrams, pictures, and anything visual.
• Screen Readers (JAWS/NVDA): For reading text, navigating websites, writing, researching, and completing assignments.
• CCTV: Only for viewing pictures or visual diagrams — not for reading.

Together, these tools create a complete access system.
