Hi Joseph, VizWiz is already in the UK Stores, as well. I haven't tried to search exhaustively, since I'd have to go through the process of resetting my iTunes store location to every country in order to check. You should just try the link for the U.S. iTunes store. This is a free app:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/vizwiz/id439686043?mt=8 Here's the web site: http://vizwiz.org/ There's a specific link from that home page to a Vizwiz tutorial: http://vizwiz.org/tutorial.html The tutorial is helpful to read through first, since the app just opens with the camera. There's also a web site for the research project at the University of Rochester, if you want to read up more about this (in a scholarly research sense) http://hci.cs.rochester.edu/currentprojects.php?proj=vw The more readable informal New Scientist article about this project appeared a couple of weeks ago: http://www.newscientist.com/blogs/onepercent/2011/05/smartphone-app-lets-the-blind.html HTH.
