[Athen] Experiences with Aira

[Kluesner, Bryon]

We had one student use it last semester and it was paid for as a monthly subscription ($89?) by a private donation to the office. The complaint the student had was it drained his cell phone battery. He is working with Aira on how to get a discounted institutional rate and plans to to talk to city mayor about making it available downtown. He did like it, except the cell phone app issue.

Good afternoon all,



I am curious if anyone has any experiences in using Aira (aira.io<https://aira.io/>) with students who are blind, specifically on an institution level. We have one student utilizing a personal subscription in the classroom with seemingly great success, and we are curious if this might be a worthwhile investment for all of our students to utilize. Any information you are able to provide would be greatly appreciated.
