Re: [AI] Improve your mobilityLeader dog for blind.
I can't imagine having one in Bangalore, where public transport has almost crumbled to non-existence and the fact that pedestrians don't have a decent footpath to walk on would mean potential danger for the animal's life. Also, Sriram, you have lived in Bangalore and perhaps know the dog menace one faces here. If we use mongrels as dog guides here, perhaps we will be only busy in keeping them away from the stary dogs here.

(Taken from November, 07 issue of E-Access Bulletin) It was revealed this month that Google has become the fifth biggest company in the US, bigger even than McDonalds and Disney: a reflection of the fact that the way we search the internet has become one of the most important parts of our lives. As no-one with a disability or who works with or is close to someone with a disability needs reminding, the desires and needs of people with disabilities are precisely the same as those of everybody else, which means that searching the internet is high on their list, too. Google was always a highly usable site, one of the secrets of its success: simple and functional and text-based, which means it is fairly accessible already to people navigating the internet using text-to- speech converters or other special access technologies. But in recent years the company has realised that it is not just access to the search interface, but browsing the results; and even the accessibility of the sites returned as results that dictates how accessible the whole search experience has become. The man charged with looking at these issues for Google is research scientist T.V. Raman. Based at Google HQ in Mountain View, California, Raman is responsible for developing Google Accessible Search ( http://labs.google.com/accessible/ ), a trial version of the Google search interface that is designed to be easier to use by people with impaired vision or other disabilities, including a system of ranking search results according to the accessibility of the site. My job is to look at what Google technology can do for users with disabilities: to make sure it works with assistive technology, and also to look at what we can build to help in new ways, he told E-Access Bulletin in an exclusive interview recorded during a UK trip last month. Search is very useful for people with impaired vision, but one of the things I had observed over the years is that websites returned on the third, fourth or fifth page of results were often the most easy to read. I built accessible search last year to address this. It is not a different one: it is Google, the same index, the same magic. But it swaps the order of search results depending on whether they are easy to read. To make this assessment, the software looks at a group of 'design patterns' such as whether the HTML code is clearly structured; whether the page makes sense with images turned off; how the page uses colour; and whether the page can be used without a mouse. It looks at a whole bunch of things, some positive, some negative. And it gets trained: using user feedback on the results, it is trained to learn over time about which sites are the most useful. The accessible search tool is still in development, though it is publicly available through the Google testbed area 'labs.google.com'. While still primarily marketed by word of mouth, the ultimate goal is to make it a choice on the main Google home page, T.V. said. As befits a multi-billion pound technology company, these days Google's activities extend far beyond its initial core offering of an internet search engine, and T.V.'s work also includes looking at the wider range of Google's work such as web-based software and desktop tools to try to ensure that these, too, are as accessible as possible. I am looking at the whole range of Google products that have rich value to people with impaired vision. Blind users for example want simple ways to add events to a calendar. To help people gain access, Google has released the source code to its API (application programming interface), he said, and we are also looking for how we can make highly interactive web applications work better with assistive technologies. T.V.'s background is an unusual one for a Silicon Valley high flyer. His initials are a clue: they stand for Tiruvilwamalai Venkatraman, being respectively his ancestral village and his father's name, as is the tradition in Southern India, where he was born, in 1965.

Re: [AI] Unemployment up among the disabled in India.
do you not think that due to the only paper work as Persons with Disability Act this is going on? I heard that Social Justice Ministry has put a new Disabilities Act on the web, what is your opinion about it.regards drunsinha On 11/22/07, Sudhir R (NeSTIT) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: rediff.com November 22, 2007 10:16 IST A World Bank report has found levels of unemployment increasing among disabled persons in the country. The study commissioned by the Government of India and based on a sample of 2,000 households in Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh says that employment rate among people with disability (PWD) fell from 42.7 per cent in 1991 down to 37.6 per cent in 2002. The five percentage point difference results in part from the different sample as people with mental illness and retardation were not counted as PWD in the 47th round but were in the 58th round, where they were the PWD sub groups with the lowest employment rates. However, the finding of a reduced employment rate among PWD between the early 1990s and the early 2000s holds even when mental illness and mental retardation people are omitted from the 58th round sample. Excluding MI and MR, the study says that the employment rate of PWD still stands at 39.6 in 2002 i.e. 3.1 percentage points lower than in 1991. This compares to a fall of only 1.1 percentage points for the general population (from 58.6 to 57.5 per cent) between 1993 and 2000, the report points out. The report finds no explanation for this decline in employment rates over a decade among people with disability. Says lead author Philip O'Keefe: We are still looking for answers for this one. I feel better reporting and better awareness about the matter could explain the figures partly. The report, People with Disabilities in India: From Commitments to Outcomes, concludes that further research is needed to understand the determinants of the decline in the job rate of persons with physical and sensory disabilities between 1991 and 2002, particularly to assess if it results from changes in the demographic composition of the population with disabilities, in the increased severity of disability or factors in the labour market and society. The report goes on to say that fall in the employment rates of PWD relative to the general working age population during the 1990s is almost universal across the country except Sikkim. But the extent of the relative decline varies. States like Gujarat, Rajasthan and Maharashtra exhibit small falls in the PWD/non PWD employment ratios, while others like J K, Bihar, and Assam have seen large falls in the relative employment position of PWD. A further aspect of the unfair gap between the employment rates of the PWD and the general working age population is the variations between the two in the levels of education. The study says that the gap in employment rates between the two is more pronounced for those with the lowest levels of education in both periods. The gap in employment levels has widened for all education levels, the study shows. For the illiterate PWD population, their employment rate was 64 per cent of the of the general illiterate population in the early 1990s. This fell sharply to 47 per cent by the early 2000s. Not only have PWDs lost out in employment terms in 1990s, but those likely to be the poorest have lost out proportionately more, the report says.

Re: [AI] Unemployment up among the disabled: Study
the rate of unemplyement fall in uttar pradesh is because the non organizations which used to play a key role have become mum in this issue. on the other hand the political parties have no programme for disability oriented one. the abilities of disabled are often mocked up here. this i am not saying without any detailed fact. my words are based on facts. our lucknow university has more than hundred disabled students every year but this year this number has gone down. in 2000 indian association for the visually handicapped donated about 70 Rs for establishing a high tech centre in the tagore library of lucknow university. it was done so. the then vice chancellor innogerated the centre. however it is lying defunct since that time. no care has been taken for its revival. however a committee under my chairship was formed by the then vice chancellor but my knock the doors for the issue is taken very lightly. this year u.g.c. released about 81 Rs in XI plan as first instalment including disability related problems to be solved in the same money but only inspite of me another committee is formed under the chairship of professor Rashmi Pande, Department of medieval history lucknow University but no work has been carried out by the same Vice Chancellor's committee for phuysically challenged. now this may be understood that in a city's leading university has this kind of atitude thane what can be thought about the general mass of U.P. in this regard.

[AI] Indian develops mobile-based security system for BPO
Indian develops mobile-based security system for BPOworkers IANS New Delhi: An Indian software analyst has developed a mobile phone-based system that may provide better protection to BPO staff in transit. The GPS-based systems here are not adequate as India has not developed detailed maps for our cities. However, our system, Webtra, will work everywhere as it is based on mobile technology, said Chennai-based V M Sankaran Nampoothiri. As soon as an employee gets into a cab, he or she will log on to the mobile phone and send an SMS to a centralised number. Five minutes later, a message automatically goes to the employee. If he or she does not respond to the message, a call will follow after another five minutes. If the person still fails to respond, the system will declare a crisis alert. The transport department will call the family of the person, as well as other employees who were slotted in the same cab, he said. It is really foolish to expect that a person in trouble will be able to call any helpline or office. For us, its not communication but break of communication that is a good alert, he added. Our system has a database of thousands of hospitals across the country. This can help employees and companies rush to a nearby hospital in case of emergency, he said. When asked about false alerts and subsequent chaos that it may create, Nampoothiri preferred to err on the side of caution. Since these employees are young... the system may sound 90 per cent false alerts, but the remaining 10 per cent will be of great help, he said. The cost of installing the system could be around Rs 350 per person per month. Nampoothiri said currently two BPOs in the country were using his system, while others were in talks with him. If a company wants to install the system with speech detectors, the cost will be more. A speech detector could translate at least 10 languages and scores of regional accents into English. This will help in deciphering the voice and language of a cab driver and employees, he said. Get the freedom to save as many mails as you wish.

[AI] Feature List Leaked for Microsoft's Next IM Version
Feature List Leaked for Microsoft's Next IM Version Microsoft's next version of its instant messenger application will have a security feature to report users who send unsolicited messages, among other things. Jeremy Kirk, IDG News Service Microsoft 's next version of its instant messenger application will have a new security feature to report users who send unsolicited messages, known as SPIM (spam over IM). That's one of several new features in Windows Live Messenger 9.0, which was released to some private beta testers on Tuesday, according to Liveside.net, a site that focuses on Microsoft's Live brand of Web-based applications. The problem with SPIM is that it's annoying and, at worst, dangerous. The tricky part is that the hacker may have obtained someone's IM account details, so it appears that a genuine contact is sending the messages. After compiling a list of IM contacts, hackers try to trick users into clicking links. Those links can often launch an unwanted installation of spyware or other malware via a browser vulnerability or other security hole. Further details on Microsoft's reporting tool were not available. However, other IM products on the market use reporting tools to compile blacklists of known IM spammers in order to block them. Liveside published other new details of Messenger 9.0 on Wednesday but then deleted the post on Thursday. It wasn't entirely clear why the site decided to delete the post, but it could be retrieved via Google 's cache. Liveside said other new features include the ability to stay signed into the application from several computers, called Multiple Points of Presence Support. In the previous 8.5 version, users are automatically signed out of the application if they log in to the application on a new machine. Other new features Liveside said will be in version 9.0 include: -- Animated .GIF files can be used in the display photo area. -- Allows users to associate a specific sound with an action performed by one of their contacts. -- URLs (Uniform Resource Locators) can be clicked on in the status area.

Listen to his explanation and he could almost make you believe he's lucky to be blind. The 31-year-old Mansuri, who is an Ayurvedic doctor who diagnoses ailments by feeling a patient's pulse, argues, Your concentration decreases by 50 per cent when you can see because you get distracted by everything around you. So, he adds, with an infectious laugh, Believe me when I say I'm happy to be blind. It actually helps me in my work. The Ahmedabad-based Mansuri, who has a doctorate in Ayurveda, comes in every fortnight to Mumbai, where his patients range from reigning Bollywood superstars and film directors to middle- class professionals and families. He prepares his medications in Ahmedabad and sources herbs and other ingredients from Punjab, Andhra Pradesh, the Himalayas and Yemen. Yes, admits this graduate of English Literature, Ayurveda has taken a knocking for sub standard medicines. block quote Pure Ayurvedic in gredients such as kasturi, pearl and gold are expensive and many Ayuryedic doctors use cheap/substitutes. Some also use allopathic medicines and steroids, block quote end says Mansuri, waiting for his next patient in the Holiday Inn hotel at Juhu. His easy laughter and perennially cheerful disposition belie both his visual impairment and the journey to his current position. It is the tale of a youngster who constantly stumbled over obstacles but refused to fall down. The story began a few months after his birth, on new year's day in 1975, when his mother tried to kill him in a bathtub filled with hot water. The family was ashamed of the bllnd-infaat, who was saved by an un-cle who caught his motheFln the hick of time. My uncle tells me my mother planned to drown me in the tub and claim I fell in accidentally because I couldn't see, he narrates. At the age of five, his parents packed him off to a .boarding school for the blind where he excelled in his studies. After completing his BA with a first class, Mansuri left Ahmedabad as he faced re-j peated humiliation there and settled in _ Hyderabad. With no professional skills, he discovered he could make a living as a ! masseur and turned out tsTbe surprisingly good at it too. Then an encounter with Guru Shamshuddin, an 89-year-old_Ayurvedic doctor, changed his life. Though he was initially reluctant, the youngster learnt about pulse diagnosis, the cause and cure of diseases and preparation of herbal medicines. After obtaining a practitioner's license in Hyderabad in 1999, Mansuri was directed by Shamshuddin to return to Ahmedabad and setup a clinic there. Word of his cures spread soon and today, the doctor runs a brisk practice. Hetal Gandhi, 35, who lost vision in both her eyes three years ago due to a retinal disease, regained partial eyesight six months after she began Dr. Mansuri's treatment in February. block quote I can read the headlines in a newspaper now and can walk about in the house on my own, block quote end said Gandhi, speaking from Ahmedabad. Film producer and director Subhash Ghai is another admirer ,Dr. Sameer Mansuri's treatment has bean very beneficial for my physical and mental energy levels.

Re: [AI] Open letter to Nokia, Google the Open Handset Alliance
Hello, I heard that some of you perhaps can't read the open letter. This could be the fact because you have turned on the automatic language recognition on your screen reader and your speech synthesizer tries to read the english letter with german pronunciation. Here is the first section of the letter: Hello, I am Per from Germany and I want to inform you about the unique open source project Loadstone-GPS. Please excuse my english, it's not my mother tongue. The following could be interesting for the Corporate Responsibility and the public relations of the Open Handset Alliance and all the other companies organisations with enough goodwill, vision and imagination. The main programmer of the Loadstone-GPS software, Shawn Kirkpatrick, and all the members of the Loadstone-team are blind and developers of a free and open source navigation software for blind persons like me. At present this program runs on Nokia S60 Symbian devices and is a great solution to make life for blind people easier. There is a growing worldwide community of users, testers and developers. This kind of selfhelp and working together in a global way is an absolutely new thing in this group, especially the free and open source idea. At the moment a lot of blind people around the world are using Nokia cell phones because there are 2 professional but expensive screen reader products for the S60 Symbian platform, Talks from Nuance Communications and Mobile Speak from Code Factory, which make these devices accessible by output of synthetic speech and also allow the use of third party software like Loadstone GPS. It would be desirable to have a screen reader software for the Android operating system too; the best solution would be an open source development, so blind people from the developing regions of our world have access to it as well, perhaps including the offer of an affordable, accessible and optimized mobile hardware. This device should have good tactile keys and a high-quality Loudspeaker And should be protected against moisture and dust. A display is not really necessary but there should be a connection port for a screen. A receiver of satellite signals, a compass and perhaps a gyro instrument could be Integrated or offered in an external wearable Bluetooth box. Additional hardware like a PC keyboard, a headset, a small external control, a portable Braille display, loudspeaker or a large Display For people with low vision could also be connected via cable or Bluetooth. Nokia, Google and other companies from the mobile tech sector could help to quicken the evolution of mobile internet access and navigation solutions for blind and visually impaired people around the world. Some of the members of the Open Handset Alliance perhaps have the knowledge and goodwill to program a free open source Android program version with the Loadstone functionality and a free screen reader software or providing support/resources for that. Google's $10 Million Android Developer Challenge could also be an incentive for other developing teams. The Loadstone community will surely give all the needed information about user wishes and certainly many suggestions as well. A lot of the 37 million blind and 124 million visually impaired persons from all over the world will love the doer companys for that! Especially the 1.4 million blind children below the age of 15. Speaking mobile technology is a great chance for them to obtain access to orientation, navigation, communication, education, learning and local based information services. this will open new opportunities for the job market and for participation in social networks and in society, especially for those from the poor countries. The project one laptop per child could perhaps show the way for this idea and the operating system Android could open the door for the blind visually impaired people. - Original Message - From: Per [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Sent: Wednesday, November 21, 2007 8:45 AM Hi, my name is Per and I am from Germany.

Android was financed and developed by Google and the other companies from OHA. What do you think about this? Any suggestions? If you like the idea you could perhaps help me by posting this link to english speaking blind or developer communities. It would be nice if some blind and seeing software developers could form a global team of volunteers to develop a first version of an open source screen reader. Then the surely will win $25000 from the first part of Google's $10 million Android Developer Challenge. I am not a developer or professional and so I search for them and try to bring them together.

Re: [AI] Here's Your Diwali Gift!
your argument is convincing in the term of business. however there is a deep consideration needed for its application in the term of advantage giving to a marginalised section in developing country like ours. even for developed countries in case of sale market, there is a need of original production, which the prologics production lacks. in my opinion safa added to it is nothing but outloud's copy then where lies market entry? the webel software which they are distributing free of cost for establishing libraries free of cost in different parts of country is better one in comparison of its manufacturing.

[AI] Doctor Samir Scientific Ayurvedic Practitioner.
Dr. Samir Mansuri Dr. Sameer Mansuri says he's perfectly happy to be blind. And he has no desire whatsoever to be able to see. Sceptical? Listen to his explanation and he could almost make you believe he's lucky to be blind. The 31-year-old Mansuri, who is an Ayurvedic doctor who diagnoses ailments by feeling a patient's pulse, argues, Your concentration decreases by 50 per cent when you can see because you get distracted by everything around you. So, he adds, with an infectious laugh, Believe me when I say I'm happy to be blind. It actually helps me in my work. The Ahmedabad-based Mansuri, who has a doctorate in Ayurveda, comes in every fortnight to Mumbai, where his patients range from reigning Bollywood superstars and film directors to middle- class professionals and families. He prepares his medications in Ahmedabad and sources herbs and other ingredients from Punjab, Andhra Pradesh, the Himalayas and Yemen. Yes, admits this graduate of English Literature, Ayurveda has taken a knocking for sub standard medicines. block quote Pure Ayurvedic in gredients such as kasturi, pearl and gold are expensive and many Ayuryedic doctors use cheap/substitutes. Some also use allopathic medicines and steroids, block quote end says Mansuri, waiting for his next patient in the Holiday Inn hotel at Juhu. His easy laughter and perennially cheerful disposition belie both his visual impairment and the journey to his current position. It is the tale of a youngster who constantly stumbled over obstacles but refused to fall down. The story began a few months after his birth, on new year's day in 1975, when his mother tried to kill him in a bathtub filled with hot water. The family was ashamed of the bllnd-infaat, who was saved by an un-cle who caught his motheFln the hick of time. My uncle tells me my mother planned to drown me in the tub and claim I fell in accidentally because I couldn't see, he narrates. At the age of five, his parents packed him off to a .boarding school for the blind where he excelled in his studies. After completing his BA with a first class, Mansuri left Ahmedabad as he faced re-j peated humiliation there and settled in _ Hyderabad. With no professional skills, he discovered he could make a living as a ! masseur and turned out tsTbe surprisingly good at it too. Then an encounter with Guru Shamshuddin, an 89-year-old_Ayurvedic doctor, changed his life. Though he was initially reluctant, the youngster learnt about pulse diagnosis, the cause and cure of diseases and preparation of herbal medicines. After obtaining a practitioner's license in Hyderabad in 1999, Mansuri was directed by Shamshuddin to return to Ahmedabad and setup a clinic there. Word of his cures spread soon and today, the doctor runs a brisk practice. Hetal Gandhi, 35, who lost vision in both her eyes three years ago due to a retinal disease, regained partial eyesight six months after she began Dr. Mansuri's treatment in February. block quote I can read the headlines in a newspaper now and can walk about in the house on my own, block quote end said Gandhi, speaking from Ahmedabad. Film producer and director Subhash Ghai is another admirer ,Dr. Sameer Mansuri's treatment has bean very beneficial for my physical and mental energy levels. His pulse diagnosis is very good and he's treated my family and friends as well, says Ghai. Although he is perfectly comfortable with his handicap, Mansuri does not easily forgive what he perceives as slights against the visually impaired. Business magnate Vijay Mallya should know. I'm sorry you had an unpleasant experience with one of my flights since we have fallen short of your expectations, please, accept my apologies, Mallya wrote to Mansuri last month after he received a complaint from the doctor about some re¬marks made by the ground crew of King¬fisher Airlines in Mumbai.

[AI] Internet users give up privacy in exchange for trust
The Hindu News Update Service News Update Service Friday, November 23, 2007 : 1715 Hrs Sci. Tech. Internet users give up privacy in exchange for trust With public concern over online fraud, new research, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, has revealed that internet users will reveal more personal information online if they believe they can trust the organisation that requests the information. 'Even people who have previously demonstrated a high level of caution regarding online privacy will accept losses to their privacy if they trust the recipient of their personal information' says Dr Adam Joinson, who led the study. According to Eurekalert, the news service of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the findings of the study are vital for those aiming to create online services that pose a potential privacy threat, such as Government agencies involved in developing ID cards. The project found that even those people who declared themselves unconcerned about privacy would soon become opposed to ID cards if the way that they were asked for information made them feel that their privacy was threatened. The 'Privacy and Self-Disclosure Online' project is the first of its kind, in that rigorous methods were used to measure internet users actual behaviour. Dr Joinson explains; 'For the first time we have research which actually analyses what people do online, rather than just looking at what they say they do.' 56 percent of internet users stated that they have concerns about privacy when they are online. The central issue was whether websites were seen as particularly trustworthy - or untrustworthy - causing users to alter their behaviour. When a website is designed to look trustworthy, people are willing to accept privacy violations. But, the same actions by an untrustworthy site leads to people behaving in a much more guarded manner. In addition, the researchers looked at how the wording of questions and the design of response options further influenced levels of self-disclosure. If the response 'I prefer not to say' appears at the top of an options list, users are far less likely to disclose information. Similarly, if given the opportunity to remain vague in their responses, for instance in choosing how wide the scale that represents their salary is, they are more likely to opt for less disclosure - in this case, users tended to opt for a broad scale, such as £10,000 - £50,000 per year. 'One of the most interesting aspects of our findings,' says Dr Joinson, 'is that even people who genuinely have a high level of concern regarding privacy online may act in a way that is contrary to their stated attitudes when they come across a particular set of conditions.' The implications of this are wide ranging. Many services now require a level of online disclosure. According to this research, how a user assesses the trustworthiness of a website may have a real impact on the success of that service. In addition, research findings will be used to guide policy regarding how the public can be encouraged to make informed choices regarding online privacy. The project has targeted a number of groups who can benefit from the findings, including health professionals, higher education professionals and survey bodies.

I have two computers, in one of them, user with limited account type can install pen drive while in other this is denied. I request you to please let me know, How user with limited account can be denied this right. 2. I have read in windows help that to minimize virus threat, limited account should be used to carry out routine work, rather than with administrative account. Because workingt with administrative account may install software while surfing the net. But while working with limited account if User wants to install any programme, he or she can still install the programe by right clicking on it and then clicking on 'runAs.' When I click on 'RunAs', I do not get the option of selecting user name of administrative account, only that limited account name is displayed in which I am working. My question is how can I select administrative account name and password to install a programme, while working with a limited account in 'RunAs' dialog box.
