About us
Aira (pronounced eye ruh) was founded in 2015 to uniquely address the needs of people who are blind or have low vision by providing access to visual information thereby providing independence and agency. Our mission is to remove barriers and make the world more accessible with visual interpreting. Whatever the reason, whatever the need, we provide access to visual information, anytime, anywhere. Initially, the AI in our name stood for Artificial Intelligence and the RA stood for Remote Assistance. Now with millions of calls to date, the importance of a human in the loop, providing access to information that is sometimes rather nuanced, is abundantly clear. We have reinterpreted the meaning of our name, AI now stands for Access to Information. Aira is visual interpreting, it’s access to information through remote assistance.
