What does RightHear do?

RightHear is an Israeli startup founded in 2015 that focuses on accessibility technology for individuals who are blind, have low vision, or face orientation challenges. Based near Tel Aviv, the company has developed a free smartphone app that provides real-time audio descriptions of indoor environments, helping users navigate public spaces independently. The app operates using Bluetooth low-energy beacons, which trigger audio information when detected, and it is available on both iOS and Android platforms. The app serves a wide range of users, including those with dyslexia and memory loss, and has been implemented in various venues such as parks, healthcare facilities, libraries, and hotels. RightHear operates on a subscription-based B2B model, allowing businesses to customize audio content through an online dashboard. The company has partnered with notable brands like McDonald's, Microsoft, and Google, and aims to expand to 10,000 locations worldwide, particularly in the US and UK markets, to create more inclusive environments.
