I agree to haresh sir. product development should be done with proper testing by real users. unfortunately recently many many programmers, IIT people, have launched devics, apps but they are all limited or not really useful. these people never consult properly with blind. I remember somebody mentioned accessible chesss board what is it? where it is? it was mentioned blind organizzation helped? and so many other android apps. one good success story is of I I t Delhi smart cane. they did good testing with blind group of people. we need usable products not just symbolism development in the name of blind for publicity. Simple eye is a really good concept. we need better understanding or someone should explain it properly. at present we are lost on how to use it efficiently and is it replacement for talk back or it is a partial product?
please help and provide info on simple eye. tsincerely ajay On Fri, Oct 17, 2014 at 4:23 PM, Kotian, H P <hpkot...@rbi.org.in> wrote: > Hi > > Pleasure to have you in the list.
