Virtual Assistant for the Visually Impaired
Are you seeking a detail-oriented and compassionate Virtual Assistant to support a visually impaired individual in managing daily tasks, communication, and accessibility needs. We are tech-savvy, patient, and proactive in assisting with scheduling, reading, research, and technology troubleshooting. We would be honored to assist.
We think a virtual assistant should provide essential support to someone who is visually impaired by helping with daily tasks, accessibility needs, and communication.
Since very few websites are designed for the visually impaired, our VAs can help make things that should be simple, like researching birthday presents and finding the best shoes for running . . . much easier. Things online are getting better for the blind, but change isn’t happening as quickly as it should.
Here are some key ways ours V.A. could assist:
Daily Life & Organization
Calendar Management: Scheduling appointments, setting reminders, and organizing daily tasks is very much a task our virtual assistants can undertake.
Email : Reading, summarizing, and responding to emails can be helpful as there are often many emails with no value that just take up time.
Online Shopping & Order Assistance: Helping with grocery orders, medication refills, and other online purchases.
Travel & Navigation Support: Researching transportation options, booking rides, and providing step-by-step navigation assistance via phone or voice messages.
Technology & Accessibility Support
Screen Reader & Software Guidance: Assisting with VoiceOver, JAWS, NVDA, or other screen readers.
Document Formatting: A virtual assistant for the blind can get documents transcribed or put into accessible formats (e.g., audio or Braille-compatible files or large text).
Troubleshooting Tech Issues: Everyone can use help with accessibility settings on phones, computers, or smart devices, but we know for the visually impaired is 25% harder because the instructions and help files are often not in the right format. That is so incredibly frustrating.
Communication & Social Interaction
Reading Aloud (or making recordings): Emails, news articles, or other written content.
Writing Assistance: Typing or dictating letters, reports, or notes.
Social Media Management: Posting, responding to messages, and reading notifications aloud.
Entertainment & Learning
Audiobook & Podcast Recommendations: Finding accessible reading materials and entertainment options.
Event Research: Finding accessible concerts, community events, or meetups.
Personalized News Summaries: Curating relevant news or interest-based updates in an easy-to-digest format.
