Can you tell us what Right Here is?
19:37
We are a way-finding app and service.
19:41
So essentially, we work with, uh, organizations, buildings, companies, parks, basically spaces where people navigate through.
19:51
We help them make them more accessible using, uh, audio signs.
19:55
So that's talking signs, that is any written text or p- visual information that needs to be translated to a person with visual impairment is presented through this technology.
20:07
We work with beacons, and we work with markers.
20:10
So the last time we came on, we did not have the markers.

If, let's say, someone listening wanted a venue to be available on RightHere, you know, how do they go about it? Do they approach yourselves? Do they have to approach the individual venue owners to approach, uh, approach you guys instead? How does that process work?
6:44
Oh, yeah
6:45
... what the shape of the room is.
6:46
I wanna know where the chairs are.
6:47
I wanna know where the elevator is.
6:49
I don't care if I'm using them.
6:50
I wanna know they're there.
6:52
Because what if I do at some point during my journey through that building at some point want to know? Or maybe I meet somebody who's looking for them, and I can be that confident person who says, "Oh, yeah, the chairs are here." I like being that person.
