#a11y Techies banner of episode 10, featuring the title of the episode and a picture of Myrna Miller, from BlindShell.

More than a decade has passed since the idea behind BlindShell was born out of inspiration from a master's thesis.

Nowadays, this cell phone for blind and partially sighted people is available in 23 countries worldwide and has even earned international recognition by winning the FeelVision Award 2025 at the annual SightCity fair in Frankfurt.  

Myrna Miller, Community Engagement Specialist at BlindShell, tells us more about this fruitful journey and the current applications featured in the latest BlindShell model, such as its AI-based assistant Luna or its image description software, in the latest episode of #a11y Techies.
