[AI] Fwd: Article: GPS joins the guide dogs
Sydney Morning Herald, Australia Tuesday, October 02, 2007 GPS joins the guide dogs By Adam Turner WHILE a guide dog can warn you as you approach a kerb, you can't ask even the brightest canine to take you to the nearest ATM. Trekker is a GPS satellite navigation system for the vision-impaired, designed to complement a guide dog or cane in helping people find their way around town. Like in-car systems, Trekker providers users with turn-by-turn navigation - reading aloud the names of the streets rather than just saying next left. Produced by Australian assistive technology developer HumanWare, the Trekker system consists of off-the-shelf components: a HP 2490B hand-held PC, a Bluetooth-enabled GPS receiver and a shoulder speaker. The system can be worn around the neck under a jacket or on a shoulder strap. A sleeve slides over the hand-held PC, which is fitted with buttons that in turn press the touchscreen, allowing users to enter commands such as their destination. They can also search for local points of interest such as hotels, cafes and ATMs, as well as have these pointed out during a journey. One of Trekker's strengths is the ability for users to study maps and rehearse routes before they set off, making it easier for them to find their way around unfamiliar places. They can also create their own points of interest using voice notes that allow them to record extra information, such as the location of steps or other obstacles. Trekker relies on data supplied to HumanWare by global mapping specialist NAVTEQ. After several years on the market in North America and Europe, Trekker was launched in Australia late last year to coincide with NAVTEQ's move into the Australian market. While Trekker gives vision-impaired people greater freedom to travel, HumanWare Australia's national blindness products consultant, Ramona Mandy, says it's no replacement for her guide dog, Paisley. The Trekker doesn't just give vision-impaired people information, it gives them independence. That independence makes you more confident and more employable. Some of my customers have said it's useful to be able to review a route first from the comfort and safety of home by using the offline browse, Ms Mandy says. We call it a secondary orientation device, because it never will replace a guide dog or a cane. You have to have good orientation and mobility skills. Orientation is all about travelling safely and independently, so whether you're a cane user or a dog user, you have to have good orientation skills first. An hereditary eye condition saw Ms Mandy's vision fade during childhood. She learnt braille at seven, starting using a cane at 15 and was completely blind by 25. Today she relies on Trekker, Paisley and a BrailleNote, a Personal Digital Assistant with a braille keyboard and display as well as text-to-speech functionality. Vision-impaired people have access to about 5 per cent of information that sighted people access through print. Having Trekker helps improve that imbalance, Ms Mandy says. Obviously all blind people don't live together in Blindville, so with these NAVTEQ maps we can go wherever we need to. It means I don't need someone to take me new places for the first time. For example, I'm going to Perth for a conference later this year and I'll be able to find on my own where the nearest ATM or pharmacy is. NAVTEQ's global coverage also makes it easy for Trekker users to travel overseas, says NAVTEQ's Australian business development director, Kirk Mitchell. We've been working with HumanWare overseas for several years now and when we moved to Australia we had teams of mappers scouring the country, recording information above and beyond that required by motorists so we can meet the needs of customers like HumanWare, Mr Mitchell says. Next year we're looking to bring out in Australia what we call Discover Cities, which is a pedestrian-based product that will include points of interest, such as all the exit points in railway stations.

Re: [AI] How to type the simbols like Delta, Squire root of A and other such characters?
Hi, thaught it may be of some use:
Introduction to LaTeX: 2. Typing Math
Introduction to LaTeX: 2. Typing Math
Text and math modes (review from Part 1)
TeX has three basic modes: a text mode, used for typesetting ordinary text,
and two types of math modes, an ordinary math mode for math formulas set
inline, and a display math mode, used for displayed math formulas. At any
given point during the processing of a document, TeX is in one of those three
modes. The behavior of TeX depends on the mode it's in. For example, certain
characters (like the underline or caret symbols) are only allowed in a math
mode, while others (like the greater than symbol) take on completely
different meanings, depending on whether TeX is in text or in math mode. (Try
this: write some ordinary text that includes the string From (which is often
generated by email software), and see what the symbol becomes after
compiling the document. In math mode, by contrast, does what you'd expect:
it serves as the greater than symbol.)
Text mode.
This is the normal, or default, mode of TeX. TeX stays in that mode unless it
encounters a special instruction that causes it to switch to one of the math
modes, and it returns to text mode following a corresponding instruction that
indicates the end of math mode.
Ordinary (inline) math mode.
Mathematical material to be typeset inline must be surrounded by single dollar
signs. For example: $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$. The single dollar signs surrounding
this expression cause TeX to enter and exit (ordinary) math mode.
Display math mode.
Material that is surrounded by a pair of escaped brackets (\[ and \]), or
by equation environments such as \begin{align} ... \end{align}, or
\begin{equation} ... \end{equation} is being processed by TeX in display math
mode. This means that the expression enclosed gets displayed on a separate
line (or several lines, in case of multiline equations). Longer mathematical
formulas and numbered formulas are usually displayed in this manner. Note
that the commands for entering and leaving display math mode are distinct
(\begin{...} or \[ for entering and \end{...} or \]), in contrast to the
ordinary math mode, where a single dollar sign serves both as entry and exit
command. This allows for better error checking. (This is a major difference
between LaTeX and AmSTeX or Plain TeX. In the latter two TeX versions, a double
dollar sign ($$) is used to indicate the beginning and end of display math
mode.
While the double dollar sign (still) works in LaTeX, it is not part of the
official LaTeX command set (in fact, most books on LaTeX don't even mention
it) and its use is discouraged. Use the bracket pair \[, \] instead.
)
Basic math
Elementary arithmetic operations:
The plus (+), minus (-), division (/) symbols have the usual meaning. To
denote multiplication explicitly (this is rarely necessary), use \cdot
(producing a centered dot) or \times (producing an x). The equal, less
than, and greater than symbols on the keyboard work as expected; to get
less than or equal, use \le; similarly, \ge gives greater than or
equal.
Square roots: Square roots are generated with the command \sqrt{...}. For
example, $z=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$.
Subscripts and superscripts:
These are indicated by carets (^) and underscores (_), as in $2^n$ or $a_1$.
If the sub/superscript contains more than one character, it must be enclosed in
curly braces, as in $2^{x+y}$.
Fractions and binomial coefficients:
Fractions are typeset with $\frac{x}{y}$, where x stands for the numerator and
y for the denominator. There is a similar construct $\binom{x}{y}$ for binomial
coefficients. (The latter is part of the amsmath enhancements which you get
when using amsart as documentclass.)
Sums and integrals:
The symbols for sums and integrals are \sum and \int, respectively. These are
examples of large operators, and their sizes are adjusted by TeX
automatically, depending on the context (e.g., inline vs. display math). Note
that the symbol generated by \sum is very different from the cap-Sigma
symbol, \Sigma; the latter should never be used to denote sums. TeX uses a
simple, but effective scheme to typeset summation and integration limits:
Namely, lower and upper limits are specified as sub- and superscripts to \sum
and \int. For example, $\sum_{k=1}^n k = \frac{n(n+1)}{2}$. (Note that the
lower limit k=1 here must be enclosed in braces.)
Limits:
The subscript trick works also for limits; \lim produces the lim symbol,
and the expression underneath this symbol (for example, x tends to infinity)
is typeset as a subscript to \lim: $\lim_{x\to\infty}f(x)=0$. Here \to
produces the arrow, and \infty (note the abbreviation - \infinity does not
work!) produces the infinity symbol. \limsup and \liminf work similarly,
as do \sup and \inf (for supremum and infinimum), and \max and \min
(for maximum and minimum). For example, $\max_{0\le x\le 1}x(1-x)=1/4$.

[AI] Increaseing hearing problems among visually impaired community
Dear list members, I would like to invite your views and openians on the following. Recently we all have read the e-mails from our 2 members mr. Manish Agarwal and mr. shadaph husen. mr. Agarwal wrote that he is facing some hearing problem dew to the robotic voices of our screen reader programs. Friends, most of us are working in a computer bassed jobs. In this kind of jobs, we have to work with headphones for around 7 8 hrs or more according to jobs. I think that this might develop hearing problems in our year. Because there is no option to use headphones during work hours. And the voices are very troublesome. If we think to use other voices from JAWS, there quality is not so good that we can understand each and every word. So friends, according to my personal view, it may be a serias problem among us. in one side we are saing that IT sector have opend many opportunities for the employment of V I, but if this is the other side that affects our basic capability of hearing then it is time to think on any effective solution on this problem. There is no need to mention that if a visually impaired person have no perfect hearing, then he has to face many problems in his/her daily life. The problems may be regarding comunication or interaction or mobility also. Now you might think that why I am writing such a long mail and very deeply? Because I am facing such problems in my life. I already have almost 80% hearing los and I have to work in the above mentioned situation. I am affreding that if I continue to work in the same situation, the problem may get develop. Your views regarding this problems are welcome and esencial. Friends, sorry for such a long mail, but it is very very important for all of us. So lets discuss this issue very seriasly.

Re: [AI] Does anyone know?
unfortunately not but little off the topic i am adding a new information: - Monday 01st of October 2007 India has ratified a UN convention to promote and protect the human rights and fundamental freedoms of those with disabilities as also respect for their inherent dignity. External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee Monday deposited with the UN the instrument of ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities adopted by the UN General Assembly on Dec 13 last year. The adoption of the convention 'to promote, protect, and ensure the full and equal enjoyment of all human rights and fundamental freedoms by all persons with disabilities, and to promote respect for their inherent dignity' followed four years of intense negotiations. The convention marks a major step toward changing the perception of disability and ensures that societies recognise that all people must be provided with the opportunities to lead a life to their fullest potential, the permanent mission of India to the UN said in a press release. India is committed to the elimination of barriers that persons with disabilities face and the Constitution of India implicitly mandates an inclusive society for all, including those with disabilities, it added. International News Online Edition - New Delhi, India -Thursday, October 04, 2007 When I read the actual text. I found that the Minister said only two things. 1. his positive approach towards the convention in respect of india. 2. he talked about inclusiveness of society in indian constitution but still I feel that Government of India along with its state Governments should ratify their clear and a candid stand regarding the rights of persons with disabilities and to their human dignities instead of its stand for reformation of U.N.O it should ratify its condition towards disables out and about caste and other factors and thereafter it should submit its claim to be a permanent member of U.N.O. drun On 10/7/07, ashish [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: http://languagesweetforwindows.googlepages.com/home - Original Message - From: Ramit Luthra [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Sent: Sunday, October 07, 2007 9:45 PM Subject: [AI] Does anyone know?

[AI] Get IE7 No Windows Genuine Advantage Required
source: http://www.jakeludington.com/life/2007/get-ie7-no-windows-genuine-advantage-required/ October 4, 2007 at 9:00 am · in Tech · Comments · Related Either Microsoft is throwing a bone to pirates in the name of offering more secure computing for all, they're desperate to get a larger Internet Explorer 7 install base, or they're attempting to eliminate the need to support for IE6 altogether. As of this morning, you can get IE7 without needing to validate against Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA). According to the announcement: block quote Microsoft takes its commitment seriously in helping protect the entire Windows ecosystem. Security enhancements to Internet Explorer 7 include a built-in Phishing Filter that prevents an average of 900,000 visits per week to known phishing Web sites. Additionally, Internet Explorer 7 is the first and only browser to natively support Extended Validation SSL Certificates to help prevent online fraud. Internet Explorer 7 makes it safer and easier to accomplish everyday tasks online. It has a streamlined look and enhanced capabilities that make everyday tasks - such as tabbed browsing that makes browsing multiple sites easier- simple and fast. The primary modification consumers will notice is the Menu bar is turned on by default. For first time users, the first-run experience includes a new, easily accessible Internet Explorer 7 overview, and the on-line Internet Explorer 7 tour has been updated to include how-to's on great new features like tabbed browsing. This is an update to the availability of Internet Explorer 7 and not a new version of the browser. Also, for IT Pros, we've updated the Internet Explorer 7 Administration Kit (IEAK7) to include the ability to create an MSI package for enterprises that simplifies deployment for customers who prefer to distribute via Group Policy or those who are not using a corporate update management solution such as Systems Management Server (SMS) 2003 or Software Update Services (SUS). IT Administrators need only define a Group Policy setting to deploy a branded IE7 package to relevant units within their organization. block quote end The only caveat is IE7 will follow this model in English, German, Japanese, French, Spanish, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese initially, with other languages to follow before the end of the year. You can download IE7 immediately with no need to jump through the WGA hoop. To unsubscribe send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the subject unsubscribe.

Re: [AI] Increaseing hearing problems among visually impaired
Don't use headphone if you care for your ears my friend. Initially, I'd also started with headphones at my workplace but the experience had been traumatic. Within 10-15 days only, I started having constant pain in one of my ears and that very day I decided to give it up. I bought my own speakers. And installed at my workplace. Now you must be wondering that either I would be possessing a single cabin for myself or I would have been complained by colleagues for disturbance? But nothing went either way. I had a cabin of four employees and to couple/triple it, other cabins were also connected to it both at the frunt and at the back and that too the cabins were just like as that of what we use to have in cyber cafe (without walls). But nobody complained -- reason being the very low sound at which I used to listen to. Ok. So, it's my strong advice that use headphones occasionally -- not as the only mean... It's better to listen a bit wrong at first rather than to lose it later all together. And lastly, you'll become habitual listening at a low voice within few days... the same way that habituates a VC to these robotic voices (that are not intelligible to sighted persons). After all, man inherits his quality of adaptability as that of other species from nature! To unsubscribe send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the subject unsubscribe.

Re: [AI] An oportunity at your door step
Hello friend There is nothing new about it. It is called money circulation. It works initially and runs for some months and a few years. Later on the outlay is very huge and the promoters simply vanish and start the same in a new avatar at our expense. Ask yourself a few questions 1 Are they out to distribute money, cause they have it in plenty 2 Which business gives such fantastic returns 3) Check in person, if they have RBI approval for it. Check in your local DNBS department of RBI if that business is approved by them. I am writing to you all not to fall prey to such lucratives. Anyway, this topic is off topic and let us not discuss on the list.

[AI] Gulf News
An article about an amazing woman and a dear friend. Kanchan Inner vision By Jyoti Kalsi, Gulf News Report Published: October 01, 2007, 00:41 This Ramadan is very special for Miriam Batliwala - because she has finally realised her dream of setting up a vocational training centre to help underprivileged women take charge of their lives. The Women's Empowerment Centre and Network (WECAN) is an extension of the D.M. Jariwala Orphanage and school in Mumbai set up by Miriam's father 68 years ago. Courses After my father, my sister and I took over the running of the orphanage, which houses 200 girls. We wanted to start this vocational centre, not only for those staying in the orphanage but for all underprivileged women because we believe in empowerment of women through education and wanted to provide our girls with skills that will help them to be confident and economically independent, says Miriam. WECAN now runs courses in computers, fashion designing, catering, health care, yoga, gardening, arts and craft and English language. The spacious new building is filled with the laughter of young girls, who were otherwise destined for a bleak future. But for Miriam the journey has been long and difficult. Her plans suffered a blow when in 1998, the original 100-year-old orphanage building collapsed. She and her sister have worked tirelessly to raise the funds for reconstruction and expansion, personally supervising every detail. We stood at the site through rain and sun and made numerous trips to small markets in the back alleys of Mumbai to save money on plumbing and masonry items, recalls Miriam. Dedication Her achievement and her immense optimism, energy and dedication to social causes are all the more remarkable because she is visually impaired. But nobody who meets Miriam would ever guess that she is almost blind. She is a vivacious person who loves to dance, play the piano, swim, play golf, travel to new places and make friends wherever she goes. Besides running the orphanage and vocational centre, she teaches at a school for visually impaired slum dwellers. She also conducts yoga workshops for sighted as well as blind people and has taught yoga in India, the US and now in Dubai. Miriam belongs to a rich and well-known family from Mumbai and had an idyllic childhood. Her world became blurred when she was 12 years old and was diagnosed with macular degeneration of the retina, a condition that had no known cure. But she has not allowed that to affect her life in any way, fighting every challenge with courage, resilience and a positive attitude. I believe in counting my blessings. How can I ever complain when I have so much to thank God for, and I see so many people with bigger problems than mine, she says. Not different Taking her cue from her parents, who treated her no differently from her siblings, Miriam never spoke about her condition to anyone and asked for no special favours at school or elsewhere. Despite difficulties in reading her books she did well in school and even continued her piano lessons by devising a way to play without having to read the notes. At 13, she coaxed her parents to send her to boarding school along with her sister and even played netball and hockey at school. I was able to do these things mainly because my parents and teachers never made me feel that I was any different from others and always encouraged me to do everything that I wanted to do, says Miriam. In fact, her father insisted that like every member of the family she too must learn to play golf. And as is typical of her she took it further to a competitive level and has won many golf championships. She cannot see the green or the flag, but her trusted caddy, points her in the right direction and tells her the distance so she knows how hard to hit the golf ball and which club she should use. Miriam also won medals at inter-collegiate and interstate swimming tournaments and even qualified for the college hockey team. But with her vision deteriorating, keeping up with studies proved to be more difficult. The last straw came when a keen suitor arrived to seek her hand in marriage. I did not want to marry a rich man who would treat me like a possession. So I decided to flee. I enlisted the help of an Italian friend to convince my father to let me go to Italy to learn Italian, she recalls. Yoga Yoga has been an important part of her life since her twenties and she is qualified as a teacher of Iyengar Yoga. I was fortunate to be accepted as a student by guru B.K. Iyengar, who gave me special training to teach visually challenged students. Yoga has given me inner strength and balance, and I have tried to share this knowledge with as many people as I can, she says. Do your part UAE residents can support WECAN by helping to improve the facilities.

Re: [AI] Fwd: Article: GPS joins the guide dogs
Asking casually, is there a Jaws shortcut key to toggle the punctuation? Even if not, Harish's idea is definitely worth examining. But one thing is for sure though, just now when I did this experiment before typing the last sentence, I could actually hear greater than sign on the blank lines. So Jaws cannot avoid saying greater when there is a blank line without saying blank, even if the punctuation mode is off. However, this should anoy or irritate as less as the message contains the blank lines.

Re: [AI] Fwd: Article: GPS joins the guide dogs
yeah, syed there is shortcut available for this. press insert + V to open the jaws verbosity option then hunt for the option. as for as harish sir's idea is concern, its working very well, as far as are not coming in a blank line. On 10/8/07, Syed Imran [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Asking casually, is there a Jaws shortcut key to toggle the punctuation? Even if not, Harish's idea is definitely worth examining. But one thing is for sure though, just now when I did this experiment before typing the last sentence, I could actually hear greater than sign on the blank lines. So Jaws cannot avoid saying greater when there is a blank line without saying blank, even if the punctuation mode is off. However, this should anoy or irritate as less as the message contains the blank lines.

Re: [AI] Increaseing hearing problems among visually impaired
I also had the same problem and I stopped using the head phone, but since I have to attend several phones the aching is decreasing at a small pace only. - Original Message - From: Ramit Luthra [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Sent: Sunday, October 07, 2007 11:47 PM Subject: Re: [AI] Increaseing hearing problems among visually impaired Don't use headphone if you care for your ears my friend. Initially, I'd also started with headphones at my workplace but the experience had been traumatic. Within 10-15 days only, I started having constant pain in one of my ears and that very day I decided to give it up. I bought my own speakers. And installed at my workplace. Now you must be wondering that either I would be possessing a single cabin for myself or I would have been complained by colleagues for disturbance? But nothing went either way. I had a cabin of four employees and to couple/triple it, other cabins were also connected to it both at the frunt and at the back and that too the cabins were just like as that of what we use to have in cyber cafe (without walls). But nobody complained -- reason being the very low sound at which I used to listen to. Ok. So, it's my strong advice that use headphones occasionally -- not as the only mean... It's better to listen a bit wrong at first rather than to lose it later all together. And lastly, you'll become habitual listening at a low voice within few days... the same way that habituates a VC to these robotic voices (that are not intelligible to sighted persons). After all, man inherits his quality of adaptability as that of other species from nature! To unsubscribe send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the subject unsubscribe.

Re: [AI] Gulf News
Very much inspiring. Renuka. - Original Message - From: pamnani [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Sent: Sunday, October 07, 2007 10:29 PM Subject: [AI] Gulf News An article about an amazing woman and a dear friend. Kanchan Inner vision By Jyoti Kalsi, Gulf News Report Published: October 01, 2007, 00:41 This Ramadan is very special for Miriam Batliwala - because she has finally realised her dream of setting up a vocational training centre to help underprivileged women take charge of their lives. The Women's Empowerment Centre and Network (WECAN) is an extension of the D.M. Jariwala Orphanage and school in Mumbai set up by Miriam's father 68 years ago. Courses After my father, my sister and I took over the running of the orphanage, which houses 200 girls. We wanted to start this vocational centre, not only for those staying in the orphanage but for all underprivileged women because we believe in empowerment of women through education and wanted to provide our girls with skills that will help them to be confident and economically independent, says Miriam. WECAN now runs courses in computers, fashion designing, catering, health care, yoga, gardening, arts and craft and English language. The spacious new building is filled with the laughter of young girls, who were otherwise destined for a bleak future. But for Miriam the journey has been long and difficult. Her plans suffered a blow when in 1998, the original 100-year-old orphanage building collapsed. She and her sister have worked tirelessly to raise the funds for reconstruction and expansion, personally supervising every detail. We stood at the site through rain and sun and made numerous trips to small markets in the back alleys of Mumbai to save money on plumbing and masonry items, recalls Miriam. Dedication Her achievement and her immense optimism, energy and dedication to social causes are all the more remarkable because she is visually impaired. But nobody who meets Miriam would ever guess that she is almost blind. She is a vivacious person who loves to dance, play the piano, swim, play golf, travel to new places and make friends wherever she goes. Besides running the orphanage and vocational centre, she teaches at a school for visually impaired slum dwellers. She also conducts yoga workshops for sighted as well as blind people and has taught yoga in India, the US and now in Dubai. Miriam belongs to a rich and well-known family from Mumbai and had an idyllic childhood. Her world became blurred when she was 12 years old and was diagnosed with macular degeneration of the retina, a condition that had no known cure. But she has not allowed that to affect her life in any way, fighting every challenge with courage, resilience and a positive attitude. I believe in counting my blessings. How can I ever complain when I have so much to thank God for, and I see so many people with bigger problems than mine, she says. Not different Taking her cue from her parents, who treated her no differently from her siblings, Miriam never spoke about her condition to anyone and asked for no special favours at school or elsewhere. Despite difficulties in reading her books she did well in school and even continued her piano lessons by devising a way to play without having to read the notes. At 13, she coaxed her parents to send her to boarding school along with her sister and even played netball and hockey at school. I was able to do these things mainly because my parents and teachers never made me feel that I was any different from others and always encouraged me to do everything that I wanted to do, says Miriam. In fact, her father insisted that like every member of the family she too must learn to play golf. And as is typical of her she took it further to a competitive level and has won many golf championships. She cannot see the green or the flag, but her trusted caddy, points her in the right direction and tells her the distance so she knows how hard to hit the golf ball and which club she should use. Miriam also won medals at inter-collegiate and interstate swimming tournaments and even qualified for the college hockey team. But with her vision deteriorating, keeping up with studies proved to be more difficult. The last straw came when a keen suitor arrived to seek her hand in marriage. I did not want to marry a rich man who would treat me like a possession. So I decided to flee. I enlisted the help of an Italian friend to convince my father to let me go to Italy to learn Italian, she recalls. Yoga Yoga has been an important part of her life since her twenties and she is qualified as a teacher of Iyengar Yoga. I was fortunate to be accepted as a student by guru B.K. Iyengar, who gave me special training to teach visually challenged students. Yoga has given me inner strength and
Re: [AI] Increaseing hearing problems among visually impaired community
I think the best solution is to work without headphones as much as possible or, if you can't avoid using headphones, take regular breaks --say, once in 20 or 25 minutes-- and keep yourself absolutely out of noise by using ear plugs (a good pair of ear plugs are available in health and glow shops for Rs 90). Don't wear headphones without covering (if possible, to a great extent) your ears with cotton. After office hours, spend more hours inside your private room without any kind of noise. Avoid going to parties where you may have to encounter more noise in the form of music played loudly. Above all, check your constantly with an ENT specialist and undergo audiogram tests to make sure your hearing isn't dropping considerably.

Recently we all have read the e-mails from our 2 members mr. Manish Agarwal and mr. shadaph husen. mr. Agarwal wrote that he is facing some hearing problem dew to the robotic voices of our screen reader programs. Friends, most of us are working in a computer bassed jobs. In this kind of jobs, we have to work with headphones for around 7 8 hrs or more according to jobs. I think that this might develop hearing problems in our year. Because there is no option to use headphones during work hours. And the voices are very troublesome. If we think to use other voices from JAWS, there quality is not so good that we can understand each and every word. So friends, according to my personal view, it may be a serias problem among us. in one side we are saing that IT sector have opend many opportunities for the employment of V I, but if this is the other side that affects our basic capability of hearing then it is time to think on any effective solution on this problem. There is no need to mention that if a visually impaired person have no perfect hearing, then he has to face many problems in his/her daily life. The problems may be regarding comunication or interaction or mobility also. Now you might think that why I am writing such a long mail and very deeply? Because I am facing such problems in my life. I already have almost 80% hearing los and I have to work in the above mentioned situation. I am affreding that if I continue to work in the same situation, the problem may get develop. Your views regarding this problems are welcome and esencial. Friends, sorry for such a long mail, but it is very very important for all of us. So lets discuss this issue very seriasly.
