I realized after getting the information on Be My Eyes for Anthony that I 
needed to update my web site.

This is what is now on my web site about Be My Eyes:

There have been many updates since Be My Eyes first appeared in the app store. 
Here is information about the newer Siri commands, plus the description from 
the app store as of, June 24, 2025.

Here is one simple example from a picture my Great-Niece sent me of her 14 
month old son.
The picture features an adorable baby boy sitting among a bunch of pumpkins. 
The baby has curly light hair and is wearing a green cap with a yellow front. 
He is dressed in a striped orange and white shirt with navy blue suspenders. He 
has a big, joyful smile on his face showing his little teeth. The baby is 
surrounded by medium-sized, bright orange pumpkins. Some of the pumpkins have 
stickers on them. The background is a brown cardboard-like surface with some 
green patches. The baby's blue shoes are also visible, and he seems to be 
having a great time sitting among the pumpkins.
