If you have an iPhone there is an app called "Be My Eyes". When
launched, it connects you with a volunteer helper and launches a video
chat session where you can point the phone's camera at anything and ask
the helper to describe it. You could use it to ask for a general
description of your surroundings, to read signs, etc. The service is
free to use.

I have been reading this list for a long time now and have learned a lot
of useful things from all of you.

I would appreciate any ideas about a small accessible wearable
videorecorder I could wear when I am out and about.  I have no useable
vision and would feel more confident in my travels if I could show
someone a video of qeustionable situations in order to correctissues
that arize during my travels.  Were I sighted or if I had some useable
vision I could simply describe situations or individuals to police or
other professionals should a need arise.

Any suggestions would be welcome.
