Smartphones are a great medium of communication and have time and
again proved a boon to those with special needs. Targeting the special
needs customers in India, LG has added new features to its affordable
selfie smartphone — K7. The LG K7, with the new features, will make it
easier for visually impaired users to make the most of the smartphone
without anyone else’s assistance.

The LG K7 has been preloaded with features and applications that make
interacting with the smartphone easier for even the visually impaired.
It comes with voice-based apps and text magnification tools for users
with disabilities ranging from mild to severe. These apps include
@Voice, Cozy Magnifier & Microsope, Kota Daisy Reader, GPS Essential,
PocketBook and eReader Prestigion, which are available for access
right from the home screen of the smartphone. LG has further included
seven e-books for free on the K7 to be read out loud by the
accompanying app. To make navigation easy, LG has added features to
the smartphone’s Android 5.1 operating system such as Talk Back,
Screen Reading and Text-to-Speech set to English or Hindi set by
default.

The LG K7 was launched alongside the LG K10 in January this year.
Targeted at budget-conscious consumers, the LG K7 was launched at a
price of Rs 9,500. The customized version for people with special
needs carries the same price tag and features.  Source:

 2. Event

Workshop on Android Accessibility.

In the present scenario Android has emerged as the best option for the
visually impaired when it comes to selecting an accessible and
affordable mobile phone or tablet.  The Accessibility of the Android
platform has improved rapidly over the years and now even totally
blind persons can independently do everything the devices are meant
for. However, since most of the Android devices in the market only
have a touch screen visually impaired persons need guidance and some
training in order to use them effectively.

The Assistive Technology helpline of the National Association for the
Blind Delhi will conduct WORKSHOP ON Android Accessibility on Saturday
26 November 2016 from 10 am to 1 pm. Register for this workshop before
20 November, 2016 with the NAB Helpline by email:
helpl...@nabdelhi.in   or phone: 011 64556968. There is no fee for
participating in this workshop. No accommodation or reimbursement of
travel expenses will be provided by NAB Delhi for this workshop. More
