Making the world more accessible
Vision Assist connects people who are blind or have low vision with volunteers and companies worldwide through live video and description. Our goal is to make everyday tasks simpler through the power of connection.
Our community of blind and low‑vision people first
We develop our products with and not for our community. Our North Star is to serve the needs of that community as we discover them together — even if it means changing our assumptions, thinking and business model.
Free for end‑users
We’re committed to providing our tools and services to the blind and low‑vision community without charging them.
Impact for business
True and equal accessibility means good business too. That’s why we strive for great outcomes.
We’re builders and owners
We operate fast and efficiently, pay attention to details, and take responsibility for everything we do.
We like to lead
We push boundaries because the community we serve deserves it.
Failure is necessary
Mistakes are part of learning and growing. No risk means no progress.
A positive environment
We’re serious about being kind, and fun and laughter are always part of the mix.
The Vision Assist story
Vision Assist started with a simple idea: make the world more accessible for people who are blind or have low vision through the power of connection.
The idea came from seeing how often people needed just a little visual assistance for everyday tasks. What if people who are blind or have low vision could connect with a global network of volunteers ready to lend their sight?
Today, millions of volunteers support users in many languages — proving that a little help goes a long way.
