Mission: Mindseye translates vision into audio.
Programs: Mindseye produced over 130 hours a week of unique programming that featured volunteers reading from magazines, newspapers, books and retail ads. This programming was distributed to over 13,000 people who are blind, low vision, or had another physical disability that prevents them from reading. Broadcasts played over closed circuit radio, several apps, a phone service, and on mindseye's website. Additionally, all hours of programming are available as mp3s each week that are available for registered listeners to download, 20 of these hours are available in specialized daisy format, making them easier to navigate.
mindseye began an audio description service, training 30 volunteers to go to theatres, museums and other cultural events to describe action on stage or art. A total of 31 events were described to people who were visually impaired.
