Aira provides on-demand, remote visual interpretation services for the blind and low-vision community. Download the app, press a button and your phone's camera streams a live video to a highly-screened Aira Agent.
Aira agents are certified and trained by Aira and provide immediate information to users to accomplish any task as a team. They work from home, pass a background check, sign a non-disclosure agreement and go through extensive training on orientation and mobility.

Consider them an additional feed of visual information. From navigating around campus to finding an open seat in the classroom, there is no task too small for calling an Aira Agent.
Aira agents are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Aira Customer Care team is available from 8 am to 8 pm Central Standard Time 7 days a week.
Use an iPhone or Android smartphone to sign up as an Aira guest. Once you are registered and in an Aira-enabled location, you can call an Aira Agent using the app.
If you are a CLC student, staff or faculty member with a need to use Aira off-campus, it may be possible. Please reach out to the Access and Disability Resource Center with this request.
You may contact Aira directly.
