Accessible Shopping is evolving, allowing more options for blind and visually impaired people to browse, search, get advice and safely purchase on the internet.

In this video, Learning Skills & Lifestyle Coordinator, Nadia Patel, chats to us about the latest innovations in online accessible shopping.

Using a new accessible shopping feature developed by Innosearch AI which can be accessed via the Be My Eyes app on smart phones, allows shoppers to browse the big-name retailers such as Amazon, Home Bargains, Ebay etc. at their fingertips but all completely accessible, no advertisements, and billions of products to choose from.

They have the facility of searching for products using just your voice as well as a keyboard, allowing you to shop with a conversational tone verbally. They have also launched a telephone shopping feature too.

The platform has a high contract design and has been designed specifically for blind and visually impaired users, ensuring a seamless, hassle free experience for accessible shopping.
