Reflecting on 2024: A Year of Hard Work and Exciting Surprises!

Published: 08. January 2025

As we step into 2025, let’s take a moment to look back at an incredible 2024—a year filled with hard work, innovation, and exciting milestones. The star of the year? The launch of our newest model, BlindShell Classic 3!

The Journey to Launch

Preparing for the launch of BlindShell Classic 3 was no small feat. As anyone who’s done it knows, things rarely go as planned! But we teamed up and worked tirelessly to make it happen. 

More Than Just a Launch

Of course, 2024 wasn’t only about BlindShell Classic 3. Here’s a look at what else we achieved this year:

  • More Apps, More Fun: The BlindShell App Catalog grew with exciting additions.
  • Community Connections: In October, we launched the BlindShell Forum—a place to unite all BlindShell users. Haven’t joined yet? Registration is simple and quick—become part of the community now!
  • Events and Adventures: We met so many of you at conferences across Europe and the USA. Remember our Sight City competition? We hope the winners of the tickets enjoyed the exhibition as much as we did!
  • Tips and Tricks, Anytime: In August, we added a new section to our website full of handy tips and tricks so you can make the most of your BlindShell phone.

The graphic aims to express the communication and connection between people all over the world.

Sweat, Tears, and a Fun Run

2024 also brought us new challenges—like literally sweating during the Běh pro Světlušku (“Run for the Firefly”) race in Prague in May 2024. We may have underestimated the difficulty of running less than 5 km, but hey, it wasn’t just about the finish line—it was about the cause (and catching our breath after it)! This race supports the blind and visually impaired community. The best part? Blind runners are also welcomed to participate!

Celebrating in Style

To wrap up such an amazing year, our team gathered in Prague for a cooking class, where we learned to make delicious Phở Bò and Bún Bò Nam Bộ. Unfortunately, most of us forgot the recipes almost immediately—looks like we’ll need a refresher class!
