Please do refer the archive of iPhone 3GS where I mentioned about its accessibility options. In short, it comes with built-in voice-over synthesizer exacltly like Mac and a built-in magnifier and a add-on app for shake dialing. I won't recommend its voice over though entirely based on its touch screen because there are always a loads of confusion and trouble to access it accurately and speedly for my totally VI friends unlike the other traditional phones, which gives you tactile feedback. Having said that, its magnification technology is really state of the art. Infact, once you use it - you get addicted of it somewhat like zoomtext and even better than 'magic' on PC but all this features are really very handy for low vision or partially-blind. About its performance: Among the 3G S' new features, the unsung heroes have to be the improved performance and battery life. Well, the improved performance is somewhat sung, since the 'S' in the phone's name stands for 'speed'. Although it's not as glamorous as cut-and-paste capability -- I never thought I'd be writing that -- it improves the experience of using a phone that already feels top of its class for responsiveness. The 3GS also supports voice control, which suits me, since I like to yell to myself on the Delhi-Metro to frighten off muggers. lol. It's activated by holding down the home button or pressing the button on the included headphones. You can use it to control the iPod functionality, as well for making calls. I was happy to see that it supports UK/US English, so I didn't have to put on a Cupertino accent to make myself understood. It had no trouble recognising who I wanted to phone or what band I wanted to play, and it prompted me pleasantly when there were several phone numbers on offer. Not a day goes by when I don't use in-built GPS system, which is overall alright. I can track all that running with the built-in GPS, and there's a compass to point me where I want to go in Google Maps. It's also great for finding the correct exit from the London Tube or Delhi Metro, but it isn't used in Google Street View in the very cool way I've seen on the HTC Magic. I'm looking forward to what developers will do with the compass app in the future. The landscape keyboard makes its way into the messaging apps and Web browser in OS 3.0, which is great for sausage-fingered typists, and could help if this is your first touchscreen keyboard. I've always been big fans of the iPhone's keyboard, whether in portrait or landscape orientation, because of its great predictive text. It's even better than a full netbook keyboard for typing in the passenger seat of my coach everytime I go out of town. OS 3.0 also includes MMS, so you can send images, video, audio and contacts in text messages. It works painlessly, but only images can be put in directly to a text. You can also send links to locations from Google Maps, which is my favourite use of MMS. For such a great entertainment phone with access to the iTunes store, I used to be frustrated that I couldn't grab TV shows and movies as easily as music. Thankfully, Apple's now remedied that, although I'm still annoyed that we can't stream to podcasts. Damn the data costs.

Re: [AI] Introduction
Hi welcome to this list. You will find it very useful. Can you provide me with any link to listen instrumental music? Your talent will be appreciated. Regards, -Original Message- From: accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of Dr. Yogesh Sharma Sent: Wednesday, February 24, 2010 11:00 AM To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Subject: [AI] Introduction Dear Access Indian Friends, Today as I was again going through the introductory mail I received from Madam Kiran, I realized that in my very first mail, I forgot to provide a proper self-introduction as required by Access India. To start, I am Dr. Yogesh Sharma, working as assistant professor in the department of postgraduate studies in Instrumental Music at Govt. College for Women, Ludhiana, Punjab. As you know, Punjabies are famous for their jolly nature and rich food. As far as nature is concerned, I always try to live up to the reputation of my state, and as far as the food is concerned, I would rather love to prove it whenever I have the honor of being your host on your visit to Punjab. about educational background, I have done Masters in Music Vocal as well as Instrumental from Punjab University, Chandigarh and later my M. Phil and Ph. D. from Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar. Like me, my younger sister, Nimita is also visually challenged and has the same educational qualifications as myself. By the grace of God, we both have been 5 times gold medalists from our Universities.Apart from that, Nimita holds National Championship in Light Vocal Music in the National Youth Festival held at the University of Rurki in 1990 and I hold India's Color in Instrumental Music [Sitaar Vaadan] in the Thumri National Festival held at Karnaal, Harina. We both have been the top Scorers in the Close Up Antakshari new year special episodes along with the famous Bollywood personalities like Mr. Anupam Khaer, Mrs. Ila Arun, Mr. Kumar Sanu and Mrs Padmini Kolhapuri. The programme was divided in to 2 episodes and telecast from the international TV Channel, Zee TV in December,1998. These days, Nimita is working as assistant professor and head Dept. of Music Vocal in Govt. College for Women. Now about family Background, our father, Late Dr. R. Paul was an eminent scholar of Chemistry and retired as Head Dept. of Applied Sciences at Guru Nanak Engineering College, Ludhiana. He wrote more than 16 books on his subject, some of which are still selling hot in market. Our Mother, Mrs. Santosh Sharma has been a student of Priyaag Sangeet Samiti, Ilahabad, a premier university of Music and Dance in India. Later on, she retired as principal of Govt. Senior Secondary School for Girls, Ludhiana. Obviously, both our parents have been our inspiration and have worked very hard in helping us to achieve our educational goals. We are regular performers in Vocal and Instrumental Music [both Light and Classical] from Akashvani and Door Darshan. As regards our hobbies, I like to compose music for Hindi and Urdu poetry as well as write Poetry myself. Nimita likes to visit new places and practice Yoga. Our other hobbies include Computer,current affairs, Comedy TV Serials and collecting recordings of grate Musicians. As we have been recently introduced to Access India by some of our friends, we are deeply impressed by the grate informative work being accomplished by it at such a vast level. We extend our heartiest gratitude and best wishes to you and your Grate Organization. Warm Regards. Yours truly, Dr. Yogesh and Dr. Nimita Sharma, from Ludhiana, Punjab.

I was taken aback when many print readers said they enjoy holding and reading a book, the smell of a book, and some of them also admired the tactile affection which they get from a printed material. Even turning pages while reading is a pleasing experience for book lovers including sighted and blind folks. I feel no need to mention here the tactile intimacy which we derive from Braille books. As an avid Braille reader, I am also using computer as a reading machine less by choice more by compulsion. The need of the hour is to design an affordable Braille display for Braille users of third world countries. If blind teachers are qualified enough to generate interest in Braille and impart proper Braille skills to blind children, the future of Braille will always be bright. There is no way to read/study in noisy places like trains, buses, public gatherings etc other than Braille. I also admire the efforts of some organisations which are promoting Braille. Perhaps bulkiness of books and high cost of production also made braille unpopular. To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.

Hi Satguru, Here is the guideline issued from Judiciary,Finance Ministry and RBI, which allows us to use most of the banking services. Hope it would help to understand our rights and limitations.

MS shilpa has asked about tutorials of all of these softwares, and wanted to know details of system access to go. Two e-mails have been sent in this regards. Since the topic is pretty much the same, here's my response combining both the e-mails. Jaws: A nice tutorial on jaws can be found at http://atto.buffalo.edu/registered/Tutorials/jaws/index.php in adition, The official website of freedomscientific provides a number of tutorials and documentation about JFW (jaws for windows). Here are some old, but nice audio ttutorial found on freedomscientific website: http://www.freedomscientific.com/fs_downloads/jawsdemo_audio.asp windoweyes: the GW micro offers nice audio tutorials to describe the functionalities of windoweyes. These can either be downloaded or heard online at http://www.gwmicro.com/Audio_Video_Archive/Window-Eyes_Tutorials/ NVDA: Here's a nice article in tutorial form that describes key features of NVDA specially in a perspective of new users. http://www.gwmicro.com/Audio_Video_Archive/Window-Eyes_Tutorials/ though documentations on official website of NVDA too are amazing enough.

Well, in my opinion, there are some tasks and specializations, which we can not perform and that's why we are called "Disable". I haven't seen anybody facing 100% Vision Impairment and signing or writing anything without the assistance of sighted people. It's something like aspiring to see the colours of Rambo, Shiny light of Sun and Milky smooth moonlight. But the truth is we can only feel it, imagine it and can describe it according to our sense and perception. As far as ATM is concerned, to build a completely accessible infrastructure across the country, it requires a huge expenditure and effort. Fortunately, SBI has taken the initiative but still it is only in the form of announcement or on the paper. Let's hope that the day will come when we would be able to use ATM without any assistance.

Jaws: A nice tutorial on jaws can be found at http://atto.buffalo.edu/registered/Tutorials/jaws/index.php in adition, The official website of freedomscientific provides a number of tutorials and documentation about JFW (jaws for windows).

The answer is yes. I've personally installed in 1 N79 and 2 E63 handsets and it works. But if you like to buy E63 then, you must have to installed nuance talks v4.11.3 in it. Keep it in mind that, if you like to use a crack version, you have to hack your device or signed your software 1st. Nokia devices belong to s60 3rd platform do not support unsigned application. So if you ever fall in trouble to sign your app, I'll try to help you. Though, signing app is not totally free. It costs at least rs 199. Still, it is chiefer than the original version. So, don't hesited to buy a new handset. If any of you like to use mobile speak, I'll try to help you also.

Firstly, I've been using and experimenting various talking softwares from London and Chicago, which are locally developed and much popular Talks and Mobile Speak on different symbian based handsets. But for past six months, I switched over to iPhone 3GS which comes with several built-in accessibility options for blind, partially-blind and deaf people. Though I personally use it's built-in magnifier and speech technology specifically meant for partially blind. And believe me guys - nothing can be better than this. It works so smoothly and wonderfully without any lags at all. I'd highly recommend it to any partially-blind fellow as it does wonder, once you get used to it and have the same feel of being fully sighted. I can't shed much light on it's fully-fledged talking software for blind as I don't use it but whatever I've used it little so far it worked great. I'd be happy to give it's demonstration to anyone genuine in Delhi, who can further review it, compare it and can feel the power of new technologies. Many Thanks.

Re: [AI] FW: Draft petition to the railwayMinister
Dear list members, I am sorry for the inconvenience. I am pasting the document in this email. Please read this email. I am Srikanth, an undergrad student at M I T. I appreciate your knowledge and your valuable suggestions to the world of visually challenged. Your advice is needed for a good cause. Please do pay attention to this email. On we half of M I T's visual and computational lab, we are launching oral course where for school and college blind students in India. attached is the summery of the project that we are going to start. Please provide your comments. Please let me know wither anything in this document are not useful. At the same time, please do write your suggestions in separate email. Oral CourseWare Enhancing Educational Opportunities for Blind Children in the Developing World The World Blind Union estimates that fewer than 15% of blind children get any kind of education. The situation is especially alarming in developing nations where key resources like schools and trained teachers are inadequate. It is not realistic to wait for these countries' basic infrastructure to be improved. What we propose instead is a technologically straightforward and potentially far-reaching solution: the development of oral courseware for elementary and middle grades. Such courseware can be distributed at minimal cost and, more importantly, permits independent learning. It thus sidesteps the lack of schooling infrastructure in third-world nations and is rapidly field-deployable. This effort will draw upon the global diversity of MIT's student body who will be enlisted to help create the oral course material. It has good prospects for sustainability and, by making education accessible, holds promise for bringing about a transformative impact on the lives of blind children globally. The Need: Blind children are amongst the most vulnerable segments of a country's population. This is especially true in the developing world where treatment and educational facilities are very limited. According to the WHO, 87% of the world's 1.5 million blind children live in developing nations. In a 2008 report, the World Bank describes the marginalization of children with disabilities. The proportion of such children in the school system in India, for instance, has actually registered a decrease over the past six years. The resulting lack of education has profound downstream consequences. The vast majority of the blind do not get employment (in India, their unemployment rate is estimated to be a startling 99%) leading to poor life prospects and lost productivity at the national level (estimated globally to be in excess of $20 billion annually). Deficient education of the blind is truly a problem of global scope, affecting every developing nation on the planet. In this proposal, we outline a technologically straightforward project that can have far-reaching impact towards improving the educational opportunities available to blind children. There are several hurdles involved in delivering education to blind children in a developing nation. These include: - Limited number of schools for the blind - Inadequate special education facilities in mainstream schools - Lack of teachers trained in the instruction of blind children - Poor availability of course material in Braille and lack of Braille training All of these challenges argue for a non-Braille based instructional system that a blind child can pursue without much involvement of a teacher. Oral courseware is a natural and promising option. Given its obviousness, one would expect it to have been already implemented and widely deployed. The reality, however, is starkly different. A negligible fraction of blind children in the developing world have access to oral courseware, and in fact, such courseware does not even exist for the early school grades. Our Approach: We propose to develop 'oral courseware' targeting the early grades that can be made available to a large number of children and schools for the blind at minimal cost. This approach permits independent learning, and can thus get around the problem of the lack of trained teachers. For ease of getting started, we will focus initially on India, a country that carries the world's greatest burden of childhood blindness. However, given that childhood blindness exists in every nation on the planet, the relevance of this work transcends any one country. Hence, this proposal is appropriate for consideration by the MISTI-Global fund. Implementation: Step 1. Fact-finding visits to make sure that the oral courseware is maximally effective: During IAP, 2010, MIT personnel will visit several schools for the blind in India, as well as the Directorate of Education to obtain information on educational curricula and languages of instruction. They will also enlist the administrations of ten schools for the blind to be partners in this effort. Step 2. Development of oral courseware at MIT: Based on the informati

Hi brother, How are you? Hope you might have become a big man by now. I haven't seen you since long time. How is your brother? Thank you for your wishes. Your comments will be valued with great care. By the way I did not miss understood Harish sir. I thought It would be good to use polite terms like might, may, please and can, since it is sent to hole list. I am the not main person to edit the proposal. I have also suggested my comments. This is the first time that M I T is launching this kind of project. That is the reason we would like to get input from the most successful stars of our country. Please do post your valuable suggestions to this good cause. All your suggestions will be taken constructive. This list is very helpful in sharing knowledge and wisdom as well.

Secondly, what harish sir has suggested does not seem to be negative towards you or the initiative u r trying to undertake. 3. Perhaps, you would have carefully read the entire proposal before you send it to the list. As he said, we don't look at our children as the burden. As he also mentioned, you also have lot of other hurdles in the process you are planning to undertake. 1. Language: Different languages in India is something that you'll have to consider while you implement this particular project. For this you should contact some of our hardworking NGOs as they do lot of real work towards our welfare. They'll also be able to supply you lot of volentaries for recording the material in a local language. 2. Braille should be promoted: Secondly, Braille should never be neglected as it is the base for all our modern technologies. I think we don't forget our mother and motherland right? All the modern technologies are developed based on the experience we have with braille. We should encourage our children to read lots and lots of books in braille itself. Reading enhances one's maturity and patience. It also results in lot of confidence in a VI child. Finally, any initiative we undertake should aim at the overall education of a child. It shouldn't be synical to propagate once culture in other countries. I'm trying to explain you these detail since I know you personally, we're from the same school I guess. -- It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues.

Girish was waiting for the security check and at 09.20 AM on 14/02/10 one of the competent authority of the airlines completely rejected his travel to Johannesburg giving a illogical and baseless reason that the airlines was not informed before at the time of ticket booking that Girish is a Visually Impaired person and needs assistance. Leonard Cheshire Disability South Asia Regional office, based at Bangalore, the company which is sending Girish to Johannesburg from India as the representative of Young Voices to attend the Global meet of young voices across the globe with valid tickets, VISA, Passport and other statutory documents systematically, scientifically and consciously attempted to educate the airline staff but failed miserably. The disabled activists of Rashtriya Viklang Manch-RVM [National Confederation of Disabled] also tried to educate the airline staff about the specific articles of UN Convention on the Rights of people with disabilities on "Accessibility" "right to mobility" and "nondiscrimination". But the sheer ignorance of the duty staff failed to understand even the provisions of "DGCA Guidelines of GOVT India about people with disabilities" and created the most unpleasant and chaotic condition in the airport. Girish was literally harassed, threatened and intimidated with vulgar language and behaviour. Girish was sent out of the check in lounge after snatching the boarding pass, stamped baggage tag and other documents. Girish was waiting at the airlines customer care counter expecting help from the LCD and RVM till 02.00 PM. Finally RVM activists succeeded in getting the attention of Mumbai call centre people which enabled him to travel by 06.25 flight with whole lot of conditions imposed and signing the indemnity bond which was irrelevant and discriminatory. He was supposed to reach the destination at 20.50 Hrs on 14/02/10 but will be reaching at 10.50 Hrs on 15/02/10. This is an act of clear violation of the provisions and articles enshrined in the UN Convention on the rights of people with disabilities, where India has signed and ratified the treaty and the progressive statute of India that is "DGCA guidelines about people with disabilities" We the members of RVM on behalf of 70 million disabled citizens of this country strongly condemn this and urge the appropriate authority to initiate necessary action against the accountable people and airlines in general for having regressive rules even after the ratification of UN Convention on the rights of people w

Re: [AI] nimbus script available?
Hi this is Srikanth. Nimbus is an application through which we can call freely on nimbus network. We can send offline messages and multi text messages. We can also send files and photos/videos. If we are using nimbus on a multi tasking mobile, then we can get nimbus calls even if we minimize all the applications. There is one problem I noticed with nimbus that is eco of your own voice is being heard during the call. Hope this helps.

Dear list, Would like to share my thoughts on subject lines and postings. Can't we avoid continuing discussion on the same subject for long? For example, The topic behavior of my superior is on the list for at least more than a week. Still the topic is continuing even after the moderator's suggestion of closing the thread. Can't we go on a much faster pace covering more topics? Then again, the subject lines has much importance as far as a list has concerned. For example, A query, help needed, somethings to share ETC. These subject lines don't reflect the actual need or the topic a person wishes to discuss or share with the list. Of course, one can open the Email and read the contence. But, due to the heavy traffic on the list and persons subscribing to different lists such as this, Won't it be a good idea to put appropriate subject lines to allow the member to open the Emails of his or her choice? Again, can't we send the congratulatory messages to the concerned persons? I think, this is the most repeated suggestion in the list over the years. Finally, I will be much appreciative if you read this Email and give it a thought before sending the next posting to the list. These are my personal thoughts and no offense is meant to any member of the list. Regards, P. Balaraman.

Re: [AI] how do blind people go swimming?
I don't think that something is going to happen to you while swimming. You can just go head and sign the document. May be it's their nervousness. As long as you are oriented with the pool then no problem. The only thing is that the institute people must provide you with a helper to you in the water. that's how I was provided. My helper use to stop me from hitting any edge of the pool or lain lines in the pool. Even when I jump of the diving board, someone will be in the water to direct me to the edge of the pool. One thing I recommend is you should where fence to your foot and you should have a small board in your hands which makes you to float on the surface while you are a beginner. To be frank, you will not encounter any problem other than bumping in to something or someone. This can easily prevented by having a helper with you in the pool. anyway, there will be life guards if you are swimming in the deep pool. please read this link just to get some inspiration. http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2010/srikanth-bolla-swim.html.

Trust me, I've tried quite a number of institutes before writing this mail, but I'm still not able to understand, whether I'm extra optimistic or they are coward somewhat. Some of them said that they would want me to sign a document stating that they won't be responsible for anything happens with me while learning swimming, which my parents don't allow me to do on any cost.

Dear all, hope you are all having great time. this email is addressed to MR Nagaswarya. I am not trying to teach you sir but please do remember that criticizing other school which you don't know much about is totally wrong. I agree when you have commented about your school in Kadapa. but you can't come to conclusion by spending two days in a new school. our school had many great achievements. please read the website for more information. do you know, that government of India recognized our school as the best English medium school? I don't want to write all our achievements but please read the website before commenting. I am proud to say that I am the student of devnar school and now I am in the top world's best university doing my under graduation in computer science and business management. I always agree that no school can make every student to achieve success. yes I do agree that my school is not putting enough effort in spite of the resources we had but again please don't try to criticize without proper evidance and research. please take this email in a constructive way but not in a different way please. thank you. regards, -Original Message- From: accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of Kakarla Nageswaraiah Sent: Sunday, November 07, 2010 1:20 AM To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Subject: Re: [AI] Standard of blind schools Sir, Actually, it's difficult to say. Many factors determine the standards of the schools for the blind--like the management, location, student's interests, teachers' way of thinking, etc. I studied in the Government High School for the Blind, Kadapa from 1987 to 1997. The school was established in 1949. I'm not satisfied with my school. The students have not seen braillers nor do they get computer training. In sports also, their performance is minimal. We first saw the 27-line slate in 1992. We began playing blind cricket in 1995. A few years later, our school got expensive computer system from the State government but it got damaged. Students are taught all subjects theoretically, reading lessonns and thereafter, dictating notes. In 2000, I spent a few days in a private school in Hyderabad, Devnar School for the blind. I was impressed by the students' interest in music and sports but their academic performance was not satisfactory, in spite of the fact that they had access to computers, braille printers and hundreds of braille books. I know a residential school at Hindupur, which started well but I can't say about its present standards. I came across two schools, where integrated education is imparted. The performance of the students of the school at Venkatagiri is satisfactory, whereas, the students of another school at Nandhyal lagged behind in all fields. There're some private schools, where the management's priority is to run the schools for earning money.

Banks have not yet started using it. Actually the importance of cheque issue is gradually reducing with the advent of internet banking, debit and credit cards, NEFT, RTGS, etc. So, it's safe and convenient to use these alternative channels of banking. But having said all this, some people may still prefer to use cheque, which is not at all wrong, as the computer literacy, especially amongst blind people,in India is still not significant.

However E signatures and even signature stamps are allowed on cheques, premium receipts in organized set ups such a LIC etc but not for individual clients. What u suggest can be proposed to the banking industry as a viable option. The VH community has to be very cautious before taking such decision, though this seems workable for now! If systems are created for checks and balances and it is declared as valid for acceptance then it can be allowed for VI customers for sure! This can come under reasonable accommodation. Law is not a barrier in this.

He used to sign on the paper and then fixed the stamp which carried his name. So, his signature was a combination of his writing with the pen which was not always identical but it also had his name stamped on it which was always identical. I want to know if this type of signature is legally acceptable? If it is then it may be a good workaround for many for signing cheques and other documents. -- From: "Srikanth Bolla" Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2011 7:36 AM To: Cc: Subject: Re: [AI] help required regarding cheque facility to blind inBankofIndia > Any designer will do it?

All, I have gone through railway budget complete text, which is available on internet in PDF. Following things to be noted down: 1. Concessions in Rajdhani and Shatabdi are proposed for physically handicapped persons. nothing more than this is saidout in the speech. 2. The word accessibility for physically handicapped is used twice in the budget, so that gives us a sense that they understand what accessibility means. While developing adarsh stations, this will be taken care off. 3. E-ticketing will be launched on the portal of cris, full form is central railway information commission something I believe since this is going to happen, we must put efforts so to insure that concessional booking is allowed for us. Previously IRCTC had a ground that concessional bookings are allowed by cris only. To my understanding it is the efforts of Accessindia which has led to the minister understanding about accessibility for physically challenged, and the concessions for Raj and Shatabdi. 100% goes to AI for making them understand accessibility. I feel steps should be taken for putting forward our demand of concessional booking through this portal. Hope to have healthy discussion on this. Regards Amar Jain.

Regads, -Original Message- From: accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of Prashant Verma Sent: Saturday, February 26, 2011 10:45 PM To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Subject: Re: [AI] help required regarding cheque facilitytoblindinBankofIndia Hi, My postal address and your other questions - Address: Prashant Ranjan Verma Equal Opportunity Cell Tutorial Building, Arts Faculty University of Delhi Delhi - 110007 INDIA Ph: +91 11 27662602 Any inkjet or laser jet printer can be used for printing the cheques. You would just need to understand how you should place the cheque in the printer paper tray. Note that it is possible to print on envelopes of various sizes using the standard printers and the cheque is about the size os of a small envelope. There are instruction in the readme file which you get with the templates. For convenience I am pasting it below. ChequePrinter This template has been designed for filling up Bank Cheques by printing the information on them using standard printers. It is very simple to use. Open the ChequePrinter, just TAB around, type in the required information and give a print command. The blank cheque will have to be placed in the printer. This template will then print the information on the right places on the blank cheque. You will have to make a test print on a blank sheet to find out how the cheque will have to be placed in the printer. For example in HP top loading laser printers, the cheque will have to be placed in the printer in such a way that the field where amount in figures is to be written goes into the printer first. (it will have to be aligned in the centre of the paper tray. there are guides which can be adjusted for paper width, use them to centre align the cheque)) If you get the following message, click "YES". "Microsoft Word Dialog The margins of section 1 are set outside the printable area of the page. Do you want to continue? Yes No " This is a form designed in Microsoft Word and saved as a Document Template. It is convenient to use because most people are familiar with MS Word. It is also very accessible as you get prompts for each field and you can access further help by pressing the F1 key. The information to be typed are . Date - This field will take only numbers in the date format such as 09.06.06 or 09/06/2006 . Name of Payee - Type the name of the person or the company/organization to whom payment is to be made. There is sufficient space for typing long names also as this field can take up to 100 characters. There won't be any problem in printing even if the name breaks into two lines. . Amount in figures - This is the field for typing amount in figures. It can take upto 14 digits. This field will take only numbers and format then to 2 decimal places. . Amount in words - This field is for typing the amount in words. It will take a maximum of 120 characters. By default the cheque will be crossed. If crossing is not required, you will have to DELETE the words "A/c Payee Only" from the cheque template using the DEL/BACKSPACE keys. If you are not sure where the focus is on the ChequePrinter, you can read the Status Bar or press F1.

Re: [AI] Html Editor Wanted.
Hi, I am sorry. I was un clear. Using this editor, you can write code and run. If you want to write any code to get user information like asking users to input data like there date of birth, JAWS doesn't support this function. You have to run the program through command line. Even then it is very difficult with jaws. Jaws will not read the output and if the code contains any boxes or graphics, then jaws will not support. I can say it is very easy to write, save and run programs. It does spell check by innicilising in word. Hope this helps.

The glasses are rather huge with a plastic frame. I could bearly keep them erect on my face. There are two buttons on the right, one for turning on the glasses, and another volume control-like button to adjust the distance. The vibration is rather gentle on the eye, when compared to the effect some of the wristband-based vibration devices have on the body. As you approach an object, the intensity of the vibration increases. Also, the glasses seem to fairly accurately detect objects at the set distance, although at times it is difficult to gauge the exact direction of the object. Since the device vibrates when someone passes by as well, it would be nearly impossible to use it on crowded Indian streets or train stations. Also, its utility would significantly diminish in such surroundings. I tested it in an indoor environment where one is likely to encounter more objects at close proximity. For an accomplished cane user, I think this device adds little value. It may however be useful for detecting hanging objects.

With all the traveling I've been doing from past whatever months to different parts of world, one of the problems I'm facing is to cope with escalators. Escalators are becoming common in Indian structures too, but I found a lot of escalators at various places especially in countries like US, UK etc. No matter whatever I've tried, I haven't been able to independently use the escalators, and in fact, found myself in a strange nuisance all the times I have to use them. for Those who don't know, I'm a totally blind. Though I manage to take someone's help to climb through escalators, but even in that case find a lot uneasiness, particularly due to the strange manner most of the people use to help me. Sometimes, 2 people holding my hands from both the sides, shouting like hell when I have to further my leg, and all that irritates me to the crest. I feel like a victim and find a serious discomfiture. Since many of you have been traveling across the world and using escalators from quite sometime now, I request you to kindly share your experiences on how do you cope with them. Since I do not have any sight available, it'll be helpful if you can help me by describing from that perspective. So, can you please guide me on the following? 1. how to determine when to further the legs when you are totally blind and can not catch the visual signals? 2. is there a technique to do it independently? 3. I feel a little apprehensive about risk of legs to get wedged into the stairways. Is there a way out? Your valuable guidance will be of great use, not just for me, but for lot of others like me.

Re: [AI] about concession in air line
HI,
Yes there is concession but it is not really useful. Instead, if you buy
the air ticket before few months, you will get the ticket in a very cheap
price. I usually buy before 4 months to avoid high charges. They provide
concession on a full ticket but not on a discounted ticket. If you go for
full ticket and ask for concession, you end up paying high price Than going
for discounted ticket. Air tickets keeps increasing every minute. Near the
travel, expensive the tickets are. Usually full ticket will be mostly double
the discounted ticket. What we see on travel sites like makemytrip.com and
others are all discounted tickets. Even on the airline sites, they show
discounted tickets. Please speak to travel agents and find good deal you
think is reasonable. Regarding your question about which airline is good or
cheap, It depends on where you want to go. Usually people say Singapore
and emirates are expensive. You can go for British airline. This airline is
very much accessible and friendly. Moreover they operate to all main
destinations around the globe. You have other airlines. If you are a
frequent traveler, then you can register with their frequent fliers
programs. Through this you can earn miles and tear points on every trip.
Once you have enough miles, you can get free tickets using those miles.
Almost all airlines have programs like this. There are very good search
providers like ITA search for finding good cheaper deals. Try searching on
the sites like make my trip.com and yathra.com then speak to travel agents.
Usually you end up getting very good deal with the travel agent for
international trips. Hope this helps. Regards,

HI, Thank you so much for your immediate response. I actually tried the sign up link previously but it did not work. However I again tried after I read your message. And it worked. One thing I wanted to let you know is there is a captia in the end of registration form. They did not provide an audio captia. Can someone on the list fight to make this site accessible? And also, once I entered in to my account/plan my travel page, I could not enter the date of travel. There is a calendar which is not accessible with JAWS. I pressed enter on the date field but no use. Is there any way to get around this? Finally, after entering all the details, it says train list could not be retrieved. May I please know what to do?

[AI] myopenion on the mass marriages
Hi all, The discussion of mass marriage is interesting and teaching many lessons. First of all, I am completely against mass marriage. Marrying a sited or blind partner is a personal choice and marriage ceremonies should be arranged depending on once economic strength. But why do we need mass marriages? Is this to catch attention and receive sympathy? I would be fine if both blind couple get married according to once culture and among their relatives, friends and community members. I don't really understand why charitable organizations are trying to do something which is not inclusive. We are sending wrong message in to the society with these kinds of mass marriages. General people might think that this might be the first time that blind people are getting married. Why do we need press coverage for our marriages like the celebrities? Is this what happening among sited couples? Why do blind people need gifts and donations for their marriages from charitable organizations and common people whom they don't know? Is this what is happening in the sited world? If someone does not have any money, they get married without any grand function. So I don't understand the necessity of public blind mass marriage this will become a charitable practice and many donors will donate money, gold and other gifts for blind people. We always say we don't need sympathy but why are we going for public mass marriages? I would have felt very happy if this mass marriage was between blind and sited couple. I agree this might teach a lesson to sited people and inspire them but what do we get with this blind couple mass marriage? I don't mean to hurt anyone guys but it's high time that we should think of not expecting any kind of sympathy. Why do we go and tell that we need charitable help as always? We should work and earn for our living like sited people. If we don't have, we should starve but not beg donors for money. This will not protect our self-respect. In a way, we are the people stopping from blind people getting in to main streaming. We always want help in exams, we need own scribes, want exceptions in pass marks, diagrams and much more and we want our scribes to write answers for us. Why all this? Can't we work hard and study? Can't we prove ourselves that we can do wonders? Even auto drivers know about us. Many people asked me about this issue. When I tell them that I do engineering, they simply tell owe yes! Someone will write for you right? Do I need to hear these comments?? These kinds of incidents are spoiling the reputation of the entire blind community. Even blind schools want their students to sit in a single room and write the exam. They want smart students to help other students who cannot pass. Why blind schoolsare encouraging this anti-social practice?? This is in fact spoiling the careers of blind people when they go for higher education in main stream colleges. We will never become main streaming until we change our behavior and become proactive. Sorry if my feelings hurt anyone. I don't mean to target anyone. I am very much upset the way blinds are treated and respected in the Indian society.

Re: [AI] Access India Digest, Vol 59, Issue 327
I don't understand how does this model event helps blind people to come in to main streaming? Does that mean no blind couple got married so far? How do they judge couples based on the application? I would appreciate all these big big organizations and guests to provide main stream employment and educational opportunities rather than providing gifts, gold and money which are not sustainable for once career. These organizations may give temporary money and gifts but what about the entire career? Thank you.

Re: [AI] query pertaining to income tax
Hi Srinivas, Can you please provide tax exemptions for visually challenged people in India? Can blind people get tax reductions in the purchase of motor vehicles?

However, where such dependant is a person with severe disability, an amount of one hundred thousand rupees shall be allowed as deduction subject to the specified conditions. The deduction under (b) above shall be allowed only if the following conditions are fulfilled:- (i) the scheme referred to in (b) above provides for payment of annuity or lump sum amount for the benefit of a dependant, being a person with disability, in the event of the death of the individual in whose name subscription to the scheme has been made; (ii) the employee nominates either the dependant, being a person with disability, or any other person or a trust to receive the payment on his behalf, for the benefit of the dependant, being a person with disability. However, if the dependant, being a person with disability, predeceases the employee, an amount equal to the amount paid or deposited under sub-para (b) above shall be deemed to be the income of the employee of the previous year in which such amount is received by the employee and shall accordingly be chargeable to tax as the income of that previous year. 5.5.7.2 Deductions in respect of a person with disability (section 80U): Under section 80U, in computing the total income of an individual, being a resident, who, at any time during the previous year, is certified by the medical authority to be a person with disability, there shall be allowed a deduction of a sum of fifty thousand rupees. However, where such individual is a person with severe disability, a higher deduction of one lakh rupees shall be allowable. DDOs should note that section 80DD deduction is in case of the dependent of the employee whereas section 80U deduction is in case of the employee himself. However under both the Sections the employee shall furnish to the DDO following: 1. A copy of the certificate issued by the medical authority as defined in Rule 11A(1) in the prescribed form as per Rule 11A(2) of the Rules. The DDO has to allow deduction only after seeing that the Certificate furnished is from the Medical Authority defined in this Rule and the same is in the form as mentioned therein. 2. Further In cases where the condition of disability is temporary and requires reassessment of its extent after a period stipulated in the aforesaid certificate, no deduction under this section shall be allowed for any subsequent period unless a new certificate is obtained from the medical authority as in 1 above and furnished before the DDO. 3. For the purposes of section 80DD and 80 U some of the terms defined are as under:- (a) "Administrator" means the Administrator as referred to in clause (a) of section 2 of the Unit Trust of India (Transfer of Undertaking and Repeal) Act, 2002 (58 of 2002) ; (b) "dependant" means- (i) in the case of an individual, the spouse, children, parents, brothers and sisters of the individual or any of them; (ii) in the case of a Hindu undivided family, a member of the Hindu undivided family, dependant wholly or mainly on such individual or Hindu undivided family for his support and maintenance, and who has not claimed any deduction under section 80U in computing his total income for the assessment year relating to the previous year; (c) "disability" shall have the meaning assigned to it in clause (i) of section 2 of the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995 (1 of 1996) and includes "autism", "cerebral palsy" and "multiple disability" referred to in clauses (a), (c) and (h) of section 2 of the National Trust for Welfare of Persons with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Mental Retardation and Multiple Disabilities Act, 1999 (44 of 1999); (d) "Lif
