Target now offers free Aira service in stores to support guests who are blind or have low vision.
Using the Aira app, guests can connect with a trained visual interpreter for real-time assistance navigating the store and finding products. The free Aira access offer applies automatically when you open the Aira app in store. Aira is also available free of charge for assistance online if you need help shopping target.com.

Coming soon: First Accessible self-checkout kiosk in retail, showcased at the National Federation of the Blind (NFB) Convention, designed to further support independent in-store shopping. We’re rolling out accessible self-checkout over the next year. Once it’s available, simply bring a pair of wired earbuds with a standard 3.5 MM headphone connector, and insert them into the tactile keypad on the left side of the screen to activate the screen reader, and hear instructions on how to operate the kiosk.
We set high standards for web accessibility and constantly strive to ensure we’re in compliance with all laws and guidelines. Our team is filled with professionals who are dedicated to making all of our online experiences the best they can be, and we collaborate with advocacy groups, industry partners and vendors to identify areas that need improvement.
