Enhanced Audio Descriptions
Creating as many descriptions for videos as possible is our primary task. We need as many volunteers to our network as possible who would check the video requests from blind people and create written and/or spoken narrations. We need volunteers from all countries all languages. One interesting aspect of our platform is that even blind people are able to help other blind people by translating existing narrations to other languages. For example given an English narration at least in text format is available a blind person can also translate it to an another language.
Translations
We would like to make the platform available the most languages possible, and for that we are looking for translators who could translate the texts used in the mobile application.
Web and application developers
The admin interface for volunteers are written in Angular 8, and the web application is using Ionic 4 and MEAN stack. In case you have experience with these technologies we welcome you to take part of the development of the platform.
Social media experts
We are looking for talents who could help us to improve our social media strategy and manage our posts to spread the word and gain followers.
Graphic designers, video editors
Currently we don’t have a branding, we would like to have a nicer logo, better marketing website and help for our social media experts with producing content.
