I can't imagine the scene. I shall take the note from my pocket or wallet to
my hand, then scan it with my mobile, listen to it and then pay with this
note. It reminds me of a very famous Bengali story of the sixties by Shibram
Chakraborty.
A bus conductor is brought for trial for slapping a lady.
Judge: Why did you slap a lady passenger?
Conductor: When I went to the lady for ticket, she opened a handbag. She
fumbled inside it for some time and brought out a small pouch from it. She
then opened the pouch and brought out a purse. She then produced a paper
pack from it. She unfolded the paper and produced a 10 paise. But by then I
had moved forward to the front side of the bus, approaching other passengers
for ticketts. She wrapped the paisa inside the paper, placed it in the
purse, placed the purse in the pouch, and then put the pouch in the handbag
and put the zipper in place. Five minutes later, I asked her for ticket
agaij. She opened the handbag, brought out the pouch from the handbag, ...
Judge: If you don't cut short, I shall give you a slap.
Conductor: See, sir, I am only telling you what happened and you are losing
patience. Feel my situation when it happened to me.
With best regards

The government must be forced to produce and distribute free of cost a
standalone electronic device capable of recognizing the currency by just
touch or by inserting any corner of the note into it.
This kind of device is provided by the USA government to eligible
citizens.
It will be a small device, about the size of a credit card, a bit thicker,
will need to be charged occasionally, and will announce the currency
denomination in loud voice when the note is put on it.
I understand that it may cost hundreds of rupees but the government must
pay this kind of fine for the mess it has created with new and old notes
in circulation.
It should be easy for everyone to use.
I have written about this earlier, also in a letter to RBI, but who cares
on that side!

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.

Something is better than nothing. 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.

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.

Good effort, will surely try it, but focusing the paper or note for
recognition is the big problem for totally blind.

Hi All,
With all the conversation around challenges with the currency,
BarrierBreak has taken the initiative to develop an app called 6 by 6. 6
by 6 has 3 different tools and another few are being built. 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
