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.

Dear Diann,,

I have and use a portable camera from Brickstones called the "Spy Pen
Camera.
It will rrecord up to 90 minutes of video and audio and it looks like a
writing pen.
It does write, but can also record thingswithout being noticed.
It is designed to clip in to a shirt pocket and operates when you press the
button on the top of the pen.
The lens is located just above the pocket clip and takes a 90 degrees view
of what is in front of you.
It has a USB connection that can plug in to a port on your computer and
transfer info or play back what you have recorded.
I mostly use mine to record goings on on my transit servicesor things
happening at conventions.
It uses the USB to also charge the batteries.
There are some other places you can get these kinds of things from such as
the "Spy Shop" and other on-line stores.  Cost is anywhere from $80 to
$120.00.
