I do have a webcam and have thought of this idea before. The problem is that the print would have to be large enough for the sighted person to see it and make sense of it. My brother was easily able to tell me what was in a soup can when I held it up to the camera; but when I tried other types of print, it simply was impossible because it wasn't big enough. This was my experience with this, but maybe others have had different experiences.
