the solution is not a bad idea. But, I have seen some of my senior citizen visually impaired friends, who are still depended on the nokia simbian operating devices. In my opinion, the solution must be universal and, every 1 should be able to use it.

At least, this app saves us from showing the currency to our friends and acquaintances who may get an idea of how much cash is available with us and they can use the info for different other purposes like borrowing, etc. -----Original Message----- From: AccessIndia [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of George Abraham Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2019 1:47 PM To: 'AccessIndia: a list for discussing accessibility and issues concerning the disabled.' <accessindia@accessindia.org.in> Subject: Re: [AI] Currency Detector My personal view. The app is a bad idea. At best it is usable when one is at home. While transacting with the auto driver or at a shop or in a public space, the blind customer and his app will test the patience of people. Besides I believe it would make us vulnerable. -----Original Message----- From: AccessIndia [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of Asudani, Rajesh Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2019 1:27 PM To: AccessIndia: a list for discussing accessibility and issues concerning the disabled.

The 3 tools are: - Currency Detector - Light Detector - Magnifier This app is currently on the Android platform and can be downloaded from the Playstore - https://play.google.noclick_com/store/apps/details?id=com.barrierbreak.fin&hl=en We know that some of you'll are already using it and we have received feedback which we have incorporated also. We know that some currency notes are not as well recognized like the Rs. 50 note and are working on this. Instructions to help you get an accurate prediction - - Hold the Currency between 5-6 inches from the phone. - Place the Currency on an even surface or in a straight position in your palm. - Tap on the screen to get an accurate prediction. We have also made some videos to help you use the app better - https://www.youtube.noclick_com/watch?v=rqu_Yw0EWeQ It would be great if you'll would download the app and give us feedback, since we would like to make the app better. Please feel to write to us at 6...@barrierbreak.com We will also be holding sessions in different organizations to show the app to your students and members. If you would like us to hold a Free session at your NGO, School or College, please write to us at 6...@barrierbreak.com Thanks Shilpi Kapoor | Managing Director BarrierBreak Celebrating Louis Braille birthday Jan 4th.
