You have to pay Rs. 1500 per PC.
SAFA can support other regional languages as well provided there is a good 
sapi compliant TTS for that language.
Work on Bengali is going on and it may get added to safa very soon
Please note that SAFA as such is free because it has been developed by NAB 
as an open source software but it uses Vaachak - the Hindi TTS from a 
commercial company and they have to be paid for it.
You get all updates free after buying this software.

2006-11-05 Thread rajesh asudani
The price of Vachak was told in this list to be Rs. 1500, and it was also
stated that no demo is available for the same. However, before going for it,
I would like to know the state of actual performance of SAFA with vachak.
What fonts and with what level of accuracy may be read with it,  and so
forth.

Re: [AI] blind man climbed Mount Everest

2006-11-05 Thread Subramani L
Dear Vishal and others:

I am a big fan of Paulo Coelho, having read most of his books like 'The
Alchemist', 'Veronica decides to die', 'By the river piedra, I sat down
and wept,' 'The Pilgrimage,' 'Zaheer' etc. He has this art of talking
about things spiritual, without actually making the reader realise that
he is doing so.

However, after reading this article, I am a bit disappointed with Paulo,
because, he seems to be totally ignorant about blind people and their
abilities (or he is at least pretending for the sake of convincing the
readers about the abilities of VI). If you ask me, I am not at all
surprised about Eric's feat, because as Paulo has agreed in the article,
it's the question of what you exactly want to achieve in life.

I read about Eric a few years back and found his story motivating. Yes,
it's motivating, but not surprising, at least to those who are blind,
like you and me, because we never doubted our abilities, only that we
needed direction, guidance and a bit of counseling from others to
accomplish our goals. To feel surprised about Eric's achievement is like
thinking that he has done some magic --like pulling out a rabit from his
hat. But the real tribute to Eric is to understand that motivation can
lead us even to Mt. Everest, irrespective of who or what you are
(disabled or otherwise).

Sorry, this is my opinion.

Subramani

*Good article by Paulo Coelho, the present generation greatest writer*

Little by little we seem to grow used to the same metaphors for life.
Some time ago I wrote in the blog column in the "Manual for climbing
mountains", and out of the blue I meet a reader in Hamburg who decides
to share his experience with me about climbing in life. He discovered
what hotel I am in, and has some criticism to make of my page in the
Internet. After making some harsh comments, he asks:

"Can a blind man climb Mount Everest?"

"I don't think so," I answer.

"Why don't you answer 'perhaps'?"

I am almost certain that I am in the company of a "compulsive optimist."
One thing is the whole universe conspiring for our dreams to become
true, quite another is to place yourself in front of absolutely
unnecessary challenges, which can lead to death or unpredictable
failure.

I explain that I have to leave for an appointment, but the reader does
not give up.

"The blind can climb Everest, the highest mountain in the world (8,848
meters). Not only can they do it, but I happen to know of at least one
blind person who did it. His name is Erik Weihenmayer. Can your
appointment wait?"

Since he gave me a name, there could an interesting story here. My
appointment can wait, of course.

"In 2001, Weihenmayer managed the feat. Meanwhile, people complain that
they cannot afford a better car, more elegant clothes, and a salary that
matches their abilities."

"Are you sure?"

"Look it up in the Internet. But what fascinates me is that Weihenmayer
knew exactly what he wanted: he changed his life into what he thought it
should be. He had the courage to risk everything to have the universe
conspire in his favor."

I agree. The reader goes on, as if my attitude is no longer of any
interest to him:

"If you know what you want in life, then you have all you need to manage
to make your dream come true. Didn't you yourself say that?"

Of course. But there are limits, such as blind people climbing the
highest mountain on earth.

"And if people have no dreams, what are they supposed to do?"

"Think about something that they would like to be doing, and then take
the first step," I answer. "Without being afraid of making a mistake.
Without fear of offending those who 'worry' about their behavior."

"That's it!" said the reader, for the first time identifying my ideas
clearly. "So we realize that to reach what we want we have to run risks.
Don't you say that in your books?"

Not only do I say it, but I also try to keep my word. But we are
interrupted in our conversation; it is time for the appointment that has
brought me to Hamburg. I thank him for his attention, ask him to send me
suggestions for my page on the Internet, we then say goodbye.

At three o'clock in the morning, returning from that event, I reach into
my pocket for the key to my room and discover the piece of paper where
he had jotted down the blind man's name. Even knowing that I have to
travel to Cairo in a couple of hours, I turn on the computer, and there
it is:

"On 25 May 2001, at the age of 32, Erik Weihenmayer became the first
blind person to reach the top of the highest mountain in the world. A
former high-school teacher, he received the ESPN and IDEA prize for his

  It's like a binoculars that you wear as glasses. One can also use it with the

  Please provide me your feedback as soon as possible as I have only couple of

"Think about something that they would like to be doing, and then take
the first step," I answer. "Without being afraid of making a mistake.
Without fear of offending those who 'worry' about their behavior."

"That's it!" said the reader, for the first time identifying my ideas
clearly. "So we realize that to reach what we want we have to run risks.
Don't you say that in your books?"

Not only do I say it, but I also try to keep my word. But we are
interrupted in our conversation; it is time for the appointment that has
brought me to Hamburg. I thank him for his attention, ask him to send me
suggestions for my page on the Internet, we then say goodbye.

At three o'clock in the morning, returning from that event, I reach into
my pocket for the key to my room and discover the piece of paper where
he had jotted down the blind man's name. Even knowing that I have to
travel to Cairo in a couple of hours, I turn on the computer, and there
it is:

"On 25 May 2001, at the age of 32, Erik Weihenmayer became the first
blind person to reach the top of the highest mountain in the world. A
former high-school teacher, he received the ESPN and IDEA prize for his
courage in overcoming the limits that his physical condition permitted.
Besides Everest, Erik Weihenmayer has climbed the other seven highest
mountains in the world, including Aconcagua in Argentina and Kilimanjaro
in Tanzania".

If you don't believe it, look it up.
