You just connect to helper, have you registered as a blind person? I assume you have. then once you do this connect to a helper point the camera in the direction of what ever you want help with and the helper should guide you. Hope this helps.

Hi,   I used it once and found it a good app,   I dropped something on
the floor and some nice person managed to help me locate it again I had
been crawling around like a demented idiot for a while and just kept
missing it. you've got to laugh.

Ah Henry I think you asked a different question first time round *smile*, you 
wondered why the person could not see what you wanted him/her to see so that 
was why Martin and myself suggested checking on the camera.  I would be fairly 
confident that there might be something written about it on the apple-vis 
website.  Hopefully another user then can give you some hints as I do not use 
the app myself.  On my last visit to my local Apple store, I was seen by a very 
nice gentleman who went on to tell me about the app and to recommend it to me, 
he said he was one of the sighted volunteers.  I downloaded it out of courtesy 
to him and the good work he is doing but have not used it to date.

    Good Morning Eleanor and Martin



    Many thanks for your responses.



    I have looked at the settings for both privacy and within the App, but all 
appears to be set correctly.



    I have also emailed the developers and awaiting a response, just find it 
odd that there appears to be no obvious instructions on how to use this App 
from a blind users point of view.



    Best wishes



    Henry

    maybe you should check in settings under be my eyes to see if you have 
allowed the app to access the camera on your phone. i'm just taking a guess 
year as I have not used it. I am surprised if you linked up with somebody that 
they weren't able to assist you in that regard.

      Hi



      I am new to the IPhone and have downloaded the App  “Be my eyes”.



      My question is how does a blind person use this app?



      I tried to use the service last Saturday and connected to a helper, only 
to discover that he was unable to help as there was no picture-do I need to 
adjust any settings?  I have looked on the Be my eyes website and within the 
App itself for instructions on what a blind user needs to do when connected to 
a helper, but cannot find the answer.



      Best wishes



      Henry
