Print is everywhere—prescription labels, greeting cards, microwave instructions, and important documents. For blind and low vision people, accessing this information independently hasn’t always been easy. But with tools like Aira, reading print materials is no longer a barrier.

Whether it’s real-time help from a trained visual interpreter or using Access AI to get quick answers, Aira empowers you to read what you want, when you want. Because access isn’t optional—it’s a human right.

"You don’t have to see to enjoy." – Theresa Montano

Imagine standing on a trail surrounded by towering trees, feeling the cool breeze on your face, and listening to the rhythmic sounds of nature. Now, imagine having someone right there with you, describing every detail—from the color of the sky to the texture of the leaves beneath your feet. That’s what it’s like to work with a visual interpreter through Aira.

Thanks to the Colorado Governor's Office of Information Technology's expanded accessibility initiatives, visitors who are blind or low-vision can now explore Colorado's state parks with free visual interpreting. Aira’s visual interpreters navigate trails, describe scenic views, and even guide you to the perfect picnic spot.

This initiative opens up a world of possibilities, making the joys of nature accessible to everyone.
