Aira is a professional assistance service dedicated to empowering individuals by providing on-demand, skilled, and reliable visual and American Sign Language (ASL) interpreting for a wide range of tasks.

What is Aira?

Aira offers on-demand interpreting services through two distinct applications:

• Aira Explorer: Designed for individuals who are Blind or Visually Impaired, this service connects users with professional visual interpreters. Your smartphone's camera streams live video to a highly trained Aira Visual Interpreter, providing instant access to visual information.
• Aira ASL: This service caters to the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community, offering on-demand American Sign Language interpreting to facilitate communication with hearing individuals. 

Both services aim to enhance everyday efficiency, engagement, and independence by providing instant access to critical information and bridging communication gaps.

Aira Mission Statement

Our mission is to remove barriers and make the world more accessible. Through remote video interpreting, Aira supports greater independence and more effective communication for both the blind and low-vision community, and the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community. 

Partnerships

In addition to the partnerships with companies and organizations like Wal-Mart, Google, Target, Starbucks and Amazon, Aira is proud to partner with AIDB and the State of Alabama to provide individual access to members of the Blind, Low Vision and Deaf communities.
