US-based startup Aira connects visually impaired users via video link to a trained professional, providing them with sighted assistance for everyday tasks such as navigating and reading documents or emails. It's a valuable service, but also a pricey one. The company charges $124 a month for the standard plan of 120 minutes of assistance time.
