a thunderstorm seems to.be approaching. I am having the time of my life using the #VirtualVolunteer beta feature of #BeMyEyes to find out where the lightning strikes are happening using the #Carrot app. The screenshot of the weather radar app displays a map with several locations and precipitation information. The map's background has bodies of water in light blue and land in white. The locations labeled on the map are Keila, Saue, Tallinn, Maardu, Rapla, and Aegviidu.

The precipitation is represented by different colors. The blue areas indicate light precipitation, while the red and orange areas indicate heavier precipitation. There is a large area of heavy precipitation in red and orange around Keila and Saue. There are also patches of lighter precipitation in blue scattered across the map.

There are three lightning bolt icons indicating thunderstorms. One is located just to the west of Keila, another is slightly to the northwest of Saue, and the third one is between Keila and Saue.

At the bottom of the screenshot, there is a timeline from 15:30 to 17:00 with a marker at 16:18, indicating the time of the radar image. The top right corner has icons likely for settings and sharing options.

@ScottBlanks What, exactly, does #VirtualVolunteer" do?
Do you talk to it?
I got a little emotional this week when I realised I’d be able to add #AltText to images by myself now thanks to Be My Eyes #VirtualVolunteer. By asking the app to ‘describe the image’ it provides almost perfect description for me which I can use on social media. Amazing.

Can AI be one of the next frontiers also in accessibility?
Be My Eyes has developed a virtual volunteer program that connects users who are blind or have low vision with sighted volunteers. Now, the Virtual Volunteer tool has taken things to the next level by incorporating the language complexity of GPT-4 to provide even more detailed and personalized assistance.

MissionAssist – Serving World Mission from Home

We are a network of over 700 people, in the UK and beyond, using our time and skills to support world mission, for the sake of the gospel.

I’d love, if I had the time, to create or find a site where you can do a good deed by helping out with something you have a talent for and earn a credit which you could then use to ask someone to help you back.

#virtualvolunteer

Last year I made a website for people who want to #volunteer or do good in the world, but may not want or be able to do something in person.

https://volunteer.onl

It's a categorized index of ways you can #volunteer your time with a variety of projects.

I made it specifically for people who are struggling with #mentalhealth issues, who may be #disabled or are maybe just overwhelmed at where to start.

I'd love feedback or suggestions for more sites!
