It's been said: "It doesn't matter where you've been, but where you're going." SoundPost enables those of us who are blind to "get to where we are going" by efficiently and easily orienting us to where we are, and which direction we need to travel. SoundPost is an orientation device whereby a base station is mounted to a location such as an entry-way, stairway, escalator or bus stop. The user, equipped with a hand control can easily locate the base station either through the emission of audible tones, vibrations, or audible phrases which can be programmed into the base station. It is not a GPS solution, nor does it circumvent the need for a mobility tool such as a white cane or a service animal. SoundPost runs off of off-the-shelf batteries which only need to be changed once per year in the base station. And, it plans to enter the market at a price point affordable for large institutions, government agencies, and end users. SoundPost is on the brink of entering the market in 2009, and Flying Blind is honored to be partnering with SoundPost in the hopes that their entrance into the market will truly better our vision-impaired community.

[AI] Moderator: Re: Limited scheme for mobile phones
Hello all I am pained to see the thread moving. Please understand this list is not to throw opinion on activities of any other member organizations. When the offer was made, the authorities would have given fair considerations to all the issues raised. Members are requested to offer their opinion on suggestions or modifications to any schemes or offering directly to the appropriate authority and not to use the list for it. This thread is now closed for all discussions. Harish. Hello AI friends and Saksham authorities, While this may not affect me, I wholeheartedly support Vimaldengla's outcry for the talking mobile phones to be allocated first where they are needed the most. As Vimaldengla has rightly pointed out, the majority of the NCRT listers have numerous other method for communication. It's these people in the remote areas who need these facilities the greatest. Without a thorough review of the dispensing policy by Saksham, one is only compelled to call it a discriminatory and unfairpolicy in totality. Saksham is not carrying out a charity handout, but is charging for its services. Considerations should be provided to people in areas where people would have to walk miles to get to the closest PCO; how difficult it must be for a VIP otherwise. Could Saksham review its policies, please?

[AI] an article to conceive about
folks, here is a must read article for all. i'd like to know your thoughts on it. It's assured that technologies have transformed the life of a visually impaired pretty rapidly. We blinds who were used to be called "soordas" have even started governing mainstream. a blind can now be found in almost every profession therefore, we have successfully broke the stereotype. Though it's a big milestone, but if one reviews the situation keeping actual stats in the frunt, a very low percentage of our community will be called developed in actual mean. Still there're many adults students studying in primary classes. Still there're many students struggling to be admit in higher college. Even though they are competent, but their fault is that they are blind. Still there're students who may achieve a lot, but unable to do so because of improper resources. Still the condition of blind schools is terrible, and there are very few where they focus on studies. Still the level of English language is horrific in most of the VI folks. Still the percentage of computer literates is in single digit. Still there is no proper arrangement of books, specially for the hindi medium people. Still most of the folks rely on old tradition of cassette tapes. Still it's a big trouble for blinds to seek readers. Still most of the VIs don't think apart from being teacher. Still it's hard to convince companies to keep a VI as a employ. Still visually impaired people are offered less salary then there colleagues. Etc, etc, etc. Actually, these are few of the many dilemmas which are still need to overcome. I am not at all saying that blinds are inept, but at a halt there is something where we are lacking. What are those things? Is there someone who is creating obstructions in our way? Is there someone who doesn't wants us to be developed? Are we sure that we are trying level best from our side? Are we making adequate efferts to overcome the problems? Answer is no, and a resounding no. Facts says that India has misfortune of having largest amount of visually impaired, and whatever efferts we have made till now are no more then a drop of ocean. As a blind we offen censures the government, but is it fair to blame anyone else for our own liability? Indeed no. We'll have to consider genuinely what we ourselves can do to empower our condition. If we consider the things hard, we will find the solutions just below the arms. For example, if students are not taking interest in studies, is it a fault of government? If a teacher is not imparting proper education, is it a fault of government? There may be many such examples where we ourselves have to strive for empowerment. First, we will have to try to spread as much awareness about visually impaired people as possible. we will have to make the appropriate technologies which can enable blind people to read hindi books, We will have to make the accurate structure of blind schools and organizations, We will have to implement some strict rules for teachers, We will have to gain awareness about government policies in or not in our favor, We will have to think apart from our comfort zones, We will have to give something to society instead of just taking, And lastly, We will have to develop self confidence. In actual means, we can incriminate the government only and only after passing the above criteria's. It is said that god helps only those who helps themselves. Now it's hard time to consider that are we helping ourselves? If no, then when even god can not help you, how can you expect for some help from government? We have ability to perform all the above mentioned things, the only equipment needed is a strong willpower. So come, raise your arms, and let's make a trubblefree community! regards, prateek agarwal. cell: 09928341197 skype: prateek_agarwal32 e-mail: prateekagarwa...@gmail.com website: http://www.prateekagarwal.webs.com To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.

Re: [AI] an article to conceive about
dear prateek, You have covered all the things I would like to state few things: 1. The first and major hurdle of a VI person is the lack of the awareness in their parents. 2. The financial conditions are also the main cause of the under development of the field. 3. There are no people who can guide a visually impaired if somebody wants to be something. I mean they are out of the reach and a person can not contact who is unaware of the technologies, internet etc. 4. Many Teachers are not aware of the different fields in which we can perform successfully. 5. It is a bitter fact that the people of schools have developed their thinking that we have reservations, we can be a teacher, and noone thinks of anything else. 6. The dignities of our field are not in touch with those who do not have excess to internet. 7. There are very few organizations who are working actually in the field but all are in big cities and not properly reachable to the small states and cities. If you like my thoughts and wants me to say more then contact me personally. I don't know what you are doing but the issue which you have thought of is good so good luck for each and everything which you are going to do.

Re: [AI] jaws 10 reads tamil and hindi with ESpeak
Can Malayalam also be read in this way? If so, it will be useful for the vi ps in Kerala too. Renuka - Original Message - From: "B. Kannan" To: Sent: Monday, January 19, 2009 10:30 PM Subject: [AI] jaws 10 reads tamil and hindi with ESpeak Dear friends, Jaws 10 reads tamil and hindi well with ESpeak synthesizer. It reads the internet contents as well as the contents stored in the computers. The pronunciation is not so good. But we are able to understand the reading, and enjoy tamil and hindi reading. In order for JAWS to work with the tamil and Hindi languages, it is important to first make the following changes in the Control Panel: For Windows XP: 1. Navigate to: Start > Control Panel > Regional and Language Options Select the "Languages" tab 2. Check the checkbox option "Install files for complex script and right-to-left languages (including Thai) and tab down to "Ok" and press Enter. 3. Windows may require you to insert the original XP Program installation CD to complete the installation. 4. Reboot the computer. Activating the tamil and Hindi keyboard Now in order to use the tamil and Hindi keyboard you need to do the following steps: For Windows XP: 1. Complete "Enabling tamil and Hindi Language Support" as above. 2. Navigate to: Start > Control Panel > Language and Regional Options 3. In the dialog window, select the "Languages" tab. 4. Select "Details" under the "Text Services and Input Languages" header. 5. Under the "Installed Services" menu, select "Add." This will take you to a dialog window which will allow you to add language, tamil and hindi, input services, including assorted keyboard layouts for South Asian languages.

Re: [AI] Creating footnotes and endnotes
You can insert footnotes or endNotes in MS Word 2003 by navigating to Insert and then to the Reference sub menu. Alternatively, you can bring the same dialogue box by pressing the key combination Alt I, N and then Enter. There you will get options to select whether you want to insert a footnote or an endNote, whether you want it to be below the text or at the bottom of the page (in case of the footnote) or at the end of the document of the section (in case of the EndNote), which number to start from, etc. Activating the Insert button after selecting your desired options would land you directly where you can type and edit the note. You can then use the errow keys to come back to the source text. To access them thereafter, you need to switch to the Print Layout View, if your document is set to Normal View. Only thing I don't know is how to delete a footnote entry completely. Hope to hear from other members as well.

[AI] Urgent help & information required!
Dear friends, Please help my Visually-challenged friend. He urgently require your legal assistance & proper guidance. His case is pending in high-court in Tamilnadu and need somemore evidence to get justice. ___ Subject: Urgent help & information required! 20-01-2009 Dear friend, I kindly request you to forward this message to our visually impaired friends. they may give advice or ideas. so that , it will help me to get justice. Message my name is sudarsanan. I am visually impaired person (partially blind). I completed my diploma in mechanical engineering in 1991 and diploma in refrigeration and air conditioning in 1998. I suffered genetic problem of retinitis pigmentosa in both eye during the period of End of 1980's. I was declared as visually handicapped by vocational rehabilitation center of government of India in chennai . They issued ID card in 1993. I registered as a partially blind in special employment exchange for handicapped in 1992. I took technical teaching line as a instructor (junior training officer) to teach in theoretical subjects in mechanical related trades like A/C mechanic, fitter, turners extra in government approved private industrial training institute from 1994. in December 8, 2000 government of Tamil nadu announcing the recruitment of 237 junior training officer post in government run industrial training institutes by diploma holders on the basis of seniority in employment exchanges. So as per equal oppurtutinities of people with disability act 1995 they should give 3% for handicapped persons that is 1% for ortho 1% for hearing impaired 1% for visually impaired which means two posts must be allocated for visually handicapped persons. I approached the appointing authority of above said post director of employment and training through the letter in January 2001.. they didn't respond to me so , I sent advocate notice to them. After that they stating that allotted 6 post for physically handicapped is sponsored up to 1985, your seniority comes only 1992 because of that you are not considered for sponsoring. But they didn't answer how many visually handicapped persons appointed? So I approach madras high court for justice by filing writ petition in 2001 but it was dismissed because of the technical ground that petitioners not challenge the lack of seniority reason of the government side reply so that writ petition is not sustainable and petitioner given liberty file another writ petition. In such situation one advocate firm comes to help me with the help of that firm I filed another writ petition in 2003, It was again dismissed on petitioner does not able to clear what statutory provision the petitioner have irrespective of seniority government side bound to sponsored him? Both writ petition does not give answer about 1% visually handicapped quota. So I filed another writ appeal in 2004. Mean time, I approached the director of employment and training in 2007 asking information about how many visually handicapped person appointed in junior training officer post under the right to information act 2005 they told in their letter no visually handicapped persons appointed because of their inability further they say visually handicapped quota is filled by the normal person. Now it very clear they did not follow 1% quota for visually handicapped persons. Now writ appeal is pending in madras high court.our advocate says during the argument time they might raise inability issue. I here by asking our visually impaired friends for guidance in the above matter. Kindly note above stated matter is in court so please take this as personal. I want to know any visually handicapped person working as a junior training officer or instructor in government industrial training institute or related sectors throughout India. If anybody is there please send the information to me to below mentioned contact details. Matter is very urgent. My e-mail ID is sendmail2sudarsa...@yahoo.com Mobile 0-9444009839.

Re: [AI] an article to conceive about
Dear Prateek, I like your idea. actually this right that so many thing knowing or unknowing stoping the progress of growth of ourselves. Sometimes parents do not want to spend money if the child is blind. But with some other resources if he or she achieved then they will come for taking cradit Some times people do unnecessary charity itspoils the growth of the child. If i am wrong please pardon me. Like this so many issues Madhu Singhal.. We ourselves have to raise these points. Original Message - From: "prateek aggarwal" To: "accessindia" Sent: Tuesday, January 20, 2009 5:08 PM Subject: [AI] an article to conceive about folks, here is a must read article for all. i'd like to know your thoughts on it. It's assured that technologies have transformed the life of a visually impaired pretty rapidly. We blinds who were used to be called "soordas" have even started governing mainstream. a blind can now be found in almost every profession therefore, we have successfully broke the stereotype. Though it's a big milestone, but if one reviews the situation keeping actual stats in the frunt, a very low percentage of our community will be called developed in actual mean. Still there're many adults students studying in primary classes. Still there're many students struggling to be admit in higher college. Even though they are competent, but their fault is that they are blind. Still there're students who may achieve a lot, but unable to do so because of improper resources. Still the condition of blind schools is terrible, and there are very few where they focus on studies. Still the level of English language is horrific in most of the VI folks. Still the percentage of computer literates is in single digit. Still there is no proper arrangement of books, specially for the hindi medium people. Still most of the folks rely on old tradition of cassette tapes. Still it's a big trouble for blinds to seek readers. Still most of the VIs don't think apart from being teacher. Still it's hard to convince companies to keep a VI as a employ. Still visually impaired people are offered less salary then there colleagues. Etc, etc, etc. Actually, these are few of the many dilemmas which are still need to overcome. I am not at all saying that blinds are inept, but at a halt there is something where we are lacking. What are those things? Is there someone who is creating obstructions in our way? Is there someone who doesn't wants us to be developed? Are we sure that we are trying level best from our side? Are we making adequate efferts to overcome the problems? Answer is no, and a resounding no. Facts says that India has misfortune of having largest amount of visually impaired, and whatever efferts we have made till now are no more then a drop of ocean. As a blind we offen censures the government, but is it fair to blame anyone else for our own liability? Indeed no. We'll have to consider genuinely what we ourselves can do to empower our condition. If we consider the things hard, we will find the solutions just below the arms. For example, if students are not taking interest in studies, is it a fault of government? If a teacher is not imparting proper education, is it a fault of government? There may be many such examples where we ourselves have to strive for empowerment. First, we will have to try to spread as much awareness about visually impaired people as possible. we will have to make the appropriate technologies which can enable blind people to read hindi books, We will have to make the accurate structure of blind schools and organizations, We will have to implement some strict rules for teachers, We will have to gain awareness about government policies in or not in our favor, We will have to think apart from our comfort zones, We will have to give something to society instead of just taking, And lastly, We will have to develop self confidence. In actual means, we can incriminate the government only and only after passing the above criteria's. It is said that god helps only those who helps themselves. Now it's hard time to consider that are we helping ourselves? If no, then when even god can not help you, how can you expect for some help from government? We have ability to perform all the above mentioned things, the only equipment needed is a strong willpower. So come, raise your arms, and let's make a trubblefree community! regards, prateek agarwal. cell: 09928341197 skype: prateek_agarwal32 e-mail: prateekagarwa...@gmail.com website: http://www.prateekagarwal.webs.com To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.

[AI] FW: Limited scheme for mobile phones
Hello all Although this thread is closed for traffic, I am allowing this posting so as to enable the concerned organization to clarify their stand and all to appreciate the discussion and thought process behind theirstand. This thread continues to be closed. Harish. -Original Message- From: Prashant Verma [mailto:pr_ve...@hotmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 20, 2009 9:16 PM To: vimalden...@gmail.com; po...@shaw.ca; Kotian, H P Cc: dipendra.mano...@gmail.com; Rummi Seth Subject: Re: [AI] Limited scheme for mobile phones Dear Mr. Amarjit & Mr. Vimal, This is in response to your emails (copied below ) on the accessindia mailing list. Since I was involved to some extent in framing of the terms & conditions of the scheme, I think it is my responsibility to post the clarifications. Mr. Harish may put this on accessindia list if deemed fit. As pointed out in the scheme notice & also advocated by you the objective of this exercise is to give this mobile phone to persons who have not been able to afford this technology due to economic reasons. Saksham has a very small number of such mobile phones for distribution at this extremely low cost due to some contributions from NOKIA. I hope you will agree with the following points 1. That there must be hundreds & thousands of visually impaired persons in the Delhi region who cannot afford to pay Rs. 7000 or more presently required for getting such phones. 2. That Saksham being a small organisation cannot screen the applications from various parts of the country. 3. Saksham wants to verify the claims specially the income status of the applicants before giving them the phones. This is why information about the occupation of the applicant along with his/her family members has been requested in the form. The applicants have also been asked to give reference of two persons who can verify the information provided by them. Saksham can to some extent verify the applications received from the Delhi region but it will be almost impossible to verify the applications from different parts of the country. 4. Since this scheme is "limited" - only few such mobiles are available, there is no point in inviting applications from all over the country. Saksham could have received hundreds & thousands of applications from all over the country had it been open for persons from all over the country. 5. We have to admit that even after the best of intentions the benefit of certain schemes do not actually reach the intended persons. I am afraid we do not have a communication channel which can spread information of such schemes among the most needy persons. People who need such phones may not have access to emails, they may be illiterate & they may not have access to institutions for the blind. I wonder how one organisation can reach to those needy persons in the rural & remote parts of the country. I really wish such a strong network develops in due course of time. At present, this scheme information was spread through the available channels of communication that is website, emails, notices, calls to institutions for the blind & word of mouth. As announced by Saksham, it will continue to strive for making technology affordable & accessible for visually impaired persons all over the country. If such efforts are successful, there may be a similar scheme for the rest of the country. On your part, please continue to encourage & support at least the organisations in your region for framing such schemes for the benefit of visually impaired persons . . And let us please take up the task of providing speech on mobiles in Indian languages! At present it is only in English & good for a very few.

[AI] Fw: Accessible Devices Special Walgreen's Program For Blind andVisually Impaired
- Original Message - From: "Parker at Vip conduit" To: "Accessible Devices" Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2009 8:39 AM Subject: Accessible Devices Special Walgreen's Program For Blind andVisually Impaired This may be of use to some of you so we're passing it on. Hello, I just wanted to inform you of a new program that Walgreens is rolling out, for people who are visually impaired or totally blind. Script Talk is a machine that has special technology to read preprinted labels on medications, so that all dosing instructions, patient information, side effects, refills and doctor's name, are all read audibly, through the machine. The pharmacist places a special censor on the medication bottle, and you place the bottle over the Script Talk machine. In a clear, female voice, the machine reads all information, that is on the printed pamphlet, provided with patient's medication. This machine is currently being given for free, and we just obtained ours yesterday. It's quite small, about the size of a portable CD player, has an adaptor, but it can also be used with two double A batteries. Call your local Walgreens, to see if this machine is currently available in your area.

Re: [AI] an article to conceive about
Hello, Pratik and Amar, I totally agree with the views of Amar. I myself passed from one view of Amar. I have seen disable persons whose parents are not aver of their study. On other way, sometimes parents are able to work hard, but children are not ready. Sometime a disable person can be misguided by other disable person. Do you agree with my last view? With regards, Buy. - Original Message - From: "Amar Jain" To: Sent: Tuesday, January 20, 2009 5:47 PM Subject: Re: [AI] an article to conceive about dear prateek, You have covered all the things I would like to state few things: 1. The first and major hurdle of a VI person is the lack of the awareness in their parents. 2. The financial conditions are also the main cause of the under development of the field. 3. There are no people who can guide a visually impaired if somebody wants to be something. I mean they are out of the reach and a person can not contact who is unaware of the technologies, internet etc. 4. Many Teachers are not aware of the different fields in which we can perform successfully. 5. It is a bitter fact that the people of schools have developed their thinking that we have reservations, we can be a teacher, and noone thinks of anything else. 6. The dignities of our field are not in touch with those who do not have excess to internet. 7. There are very few organizations who are working actually in the field but all are in big cities and not properly reachable to the small states and cities. If you like my thoughts and wants me to say more then contact me personally. I don't know what you are doing but the issue which you have thought of is good so good luck for each and everything which you are going to do.

It's assured that technologies have transformed the life of a visually impaired pretty rapidly. We blinds who were used to be called "soordas" have even started governing mainstream. a blind can now be found in almost every profession therefore, we have successfully broke the stereotype. Though it's a big milestone, but if one reviews the situation keeping actual stats in the frunt, a very low percentage of our community will be called developed in actual mean. Still there're many adults students studying in primary classes. Still there're many students struggling to be admit in higher college. Even though they are competent, but their fault is that they are blind. Still there're students who may achieve a lot, but unable to do so because of improper resources. Still the condition of blind schools is terrible, and there are very few where they focus on studies. Still the level of English language is horrific in most of the VI folks. Still the percentage of computer literates is in single digit. Still there is no proper arrangement of books, specially for the hindi medium people. Still most of the folks rely on old tradition of cassette tapes. Still it's a big trouble for blinds to seek readers. Still most of the VIs don't think apart from being teacher. Still it's hard to convince companies to keep a VI as a employ. Still visually impaired people are offered less salary then there colleagues. Etc, etc, etc. Actually, these are few of the many dilemmas which are still need to overcome. I am not at all saying that blinds are inept, but at a halt there is something where we are lacking. What are those things? Is there someone who is creating obstructions in our way? Is there someone who doesn't wants us to be developed? Are we sure that we are trying level best from our side? Are we making adequate efferts to overcome the problems? Answer is no, and a resounding no. Facts says that India has misfortune of having largest amount of visually impaired, and whatever efferts we have made till now are no more then a drop of ocean. As a blind we offen censures the government, but is it fair to blame anyone else for our own liability? Indeed no. We'll have to consider genuinely what we ourselves can do to empower our condition. If we consider the things hard, we will find the solutions just below the arms. For example, if students are not taking interest in studies, is it a fault of government? If a teacher is not imparting proper education, is it a fault of government? There may be many such examples where we ourselves have to strive for empowerment. First, we will have to try to spread as much awareness about visually impaired people as possible. we will have to make the appropriate technologies which can enable blind people to read hindi books, We will have to make the accurate structure of blind schools and organizations, We will have to implement some strict rules for teachers, We will have to gain awareness about government polic
[AI] Inclusive cities and special children
Inclusive cities and special children KARUNA GOPAL Talking about inclusive cities has become fashionable today. It appears that conclaves and round tables on urban issues cannot be driven without this thematic session finding a niche place in the entire discussion campaign. Social inclusion is thus a feature in the meetings of the World Urban Forum, (designated by the U.N. General assembly as an advisory body that functions as a think tank to encourage debate and discussion on challenges posed by urbanisation), or the rec ently concluded Summit of Asia Society's Asia 21Young Leaders at Singapore or the SACOSAN III Summit held in Delhi. If social inclusion is all about reducing inequalities between the least advantaged groups and the rest of society by closing the opportunity gap, are all aspects of social exclusion discussed at these forums? High apathy In India, how many cities have included the so-called "Special" in their development plans? Can any city boast of sign boards, caution notices specially designed for them? They need to be escorted everywhere and protected at every step. When persuaded by a local NGO, the Chennai Municipal Corporation made available special play equipment in a park. No other city proactively took measures to ensure that this group leads their lives without being dehumanised. By not providing facilities, that make them live with dignity aren't our Indian cities practising social exclusion? The WHO estimated that 10 per cent of the world's population suffers from disabilities. Extending the logic, nearly 100 million in India are disabled. Though the first systematic census in India was taken way back in 1872, India included the disabled only in the 2001 Census! Government apathy apart, lack of awareness about disability, its various manifestations, myths and misconceptions places a bigger burden on the disabled and their kin. Pervasive Developmental Disorder includes Autism, and a good percentage of autistics are savants and geniuses. While Dyslexics and Autistics get labeled as "retarded", celebrities like Farah Khan go on air and say that movie critics are 'retarded' because they did not rate her film high!! We hear the word retarded that is used very loosely even by educated professionals in their speeches. Is it humour or lack of humaneness? Capable but confined Not many realise that potential national resources are being locked up at homes fearing social ridicule. Research at Oxford speaks of "Genius genes in Autistic children "and other cognitive studies pronounced that geniuses like Einstein, Oscar Wilde, Bill Gates are on the Autistic spectrum. Just as parents confess that they hide the problem, teachers admit that these special children get bullied at schools. Here's a case of Capable but Denied Potential not translating into performance. The London School of Economics, in a recent study, estimated that the U.S. will have an economic burden of $ 410 billion if the mentally challenged are not empowered. India has its own share of economic Cost of Inaction. Collective action by city authorities, schools, the ministry of social justice and corporate groups becomes imperative if we want to have inclusive cities. They can conceive mechanisms, forge viable partnerships and push this agenda of social inclusion forward. The corporate sector is parking its funds in adult literacy, primary education, women and gender related issues; we are yet to see a well-worked out programme in this much neglected area. Concentrating on this aspect of inclusion can reduce social tensions created by inequity. The active participation and ownership of the relatives of this marginalised group is critical to drive the growth agenda of the city. The Jawaharlal National Urban Renewal Mission is the flagship programme of the Indian government aimed at infusing life into cities. The identified 63 Mission Cities can include this agenda in a small way to inspire faith in the people. Inclusion aside, for the time being, can we at least talk of Tolerant Cities ?
