[AI] About Jaws
hello friends About Jaws •What is JAWS? JAWS stands for Job Access for Windows and Speech. It is a screen reader program created by Freedom Scientific, which allows people who are blind to gain access to information on their computers. •How do JAWS users access the information on their computers? JAWS provides access in two different ways: speech and Braille. JAWS uses an internal speech software program called Eloquence, along with the computer's sound card. JAWS also provides support for refreshable Braille displays and additional speech software options such as the ATT natural voices. •How many different versions of JAWS are available with each release? Two. The standard version is for use with Windows XP Home/ME/98. The professional version supports Windows XP Professional, Home, and Media Center Editions/2000/ME/98. •How much does JAWS cost? The standard version costs $895. The professional version costs $1,095. If you purchase a software maintenance agreement (SMA), it could save you money; purchasing them separately from the version of JAWS you want will cost you $50 more than if you purchase the SMA at the same time as your JAWS software. •How might a Freedom Scientific Software Maintenance Agreement (SMA) benefit me? If you purchase the SMA, you are eligible for two consecutive software upgrades to JAWS on CD-ROM, or you can download the upgrades from the Freedom Scientific website. Having the SMA could save you up to 50%. only U.S. customers can purchase the SMA. Back to top of page Getting Started with JAWS •I am blind. Can I install JAWS on my computer without sighted assistance? Yes. The JAWS CD-ROM comes with its own built-in speech engine, allowing someone without sight to easily install JAWS on their computer by following the voiced instructions. •Can I use standard Windows commands with JAWS? Yes. Examples of standard Windows keys would include: -- Left Arrow/right arrow: Moves the cursor left or right one character; JAWS speaks that character. -- Shift+Left or Right Arrow: selects that character. JAWS says that character, along with the word selected. -- Alt+F4: closes a window. -- Ctrl+o: opens a file. •What training materials are available for JAWS? JAWS provides a variety of different training materials to help people learn how to use JAWS. First, JAWS comes with a cassette tape that helps novice JAWS users install the software on their computer. With JAWS Version 8, training materials are available in DAISY format. The demo version of FS-Reader automatically comes with JAWS version 8. With FS-Reader, new JAWS users can listen as people from Freedom Scientific demonstrate how to navigate their computer screen with JAWS. They can also read along in Braille what the Freedom Scientific trainers say. It is just like listening to cassettes in previous versions of JAWS, only you may read along as well. Finally, the Online Help Topics as well as application-specific help is still available for those who wish to read detailed documentation and explore JAWS keystrokes on their own. •Is there a way to search Help Topics for a specific topic? Yes. Follow these steps: 1. Open JAWS Help Topics by pressing F1 when the JAWS window has focus. 2. Press Alt+s to search. 3. Type the word you want to search for in the edit field. 4. Tab once to List Topics. 5. Tab once to hear your search results. You will generally see a variety of results. 6. Press F6 on the topic you want to read about. •How do I access the DAISY training materials in JAWS? Go into JAWS Help, select training materials, scroll through the list of topics and press F6. A read-only window then opens and you are automatically in FS-Reader. •Is FS-Reader easy to use? Yes. Here are some commands for navigating through these documents in FS-Reader by listening: -- Play/Pause: Ctrl+p -- Stop: Ctrl+s -- Rewind: Comma -- Fast Forward: Period -- Increase Rate of Speed: Ctrl+Page Up -- Decrease Rate of Speed: Ctrl+Page Down -- Switch to Normal Speed: Ctrl+Shift+n •How do I exit JAWS? With your window focus on JAWS, press Alt+F4; then press Enter to exit JAWS. You can also go into the JAWS Options menu by pressing the Alt key, pressing your Down-Arrow key once until you hear JAWS say Basics and select Exit by pressing your Up- or Down-arrow key until you hear that option and then press Enter. •How do I restart JAWS? Press Insert+ctrl+j, or press Windows Logo Key+r, type jaws8 without the quotes, and press Enter. •What is the Options Menu?

dear accessindians Access with Braille •What are refreshable Braille displays? Braille displays are usually rectangular in shape with pins that move up and down that form letters of the Braille cells. When used in conjunction with a screen reader, they provide a tactile Braille representation of what JAWS speech synthesis says and what's showing on the monitor. Braille displays usually have a row of buttons on the panel above the Braille cells that move the cursor to a chosen position when pressed, to edit a spelling mistake, for example, or to click on a link in Internet Explorer. These are called cursor routing buttons. In addition to the cursor routing buttons, Braille displays often have advance buttons, whiz wheels or rocker switches that allow the user to move a line up or down in reading or skim a few lines at a time. •How is using a refreshable Braille display different than using speech in JAWS? If you use speech-only in JAWS, you will use hotkeys to perform tasks such as saving a file. If you use a Braille display, you will become familiar with how the screen is laid out so that you can easily scroll to menu options. You can then use a cursor routing button to click on, for example, a Web link or a letter in a misspelled word you want to edit, instead of using the keyboard to perform these functions. Most people who use a Braille display use a combination of cursor routing buttons and hotkeys. If you use a Braille display, you will notice rather quickly that certain abbreviations are used; list views (lv), symbols (sb), scroll buttons (scrup/dn) and links (lnk) in order to conserve space on the Braille display. Additionally, links are usually underlined with dots 7 and 8. You can adjust how many of these abbreviations you see in the JAWS Verbosity menu (Insert+V) or in the Configuration Manager. •What are the different choices presented to me in the Braille submenu? There is a default Braille display setting, which allows you to tell JAWS which Braille display you are using. JAWS supports a wide variety of Braille displays. The Show Braille load error checkbox is next. By default, the checkbox is not checked, so your Braille display will start when JAWS starts. The next option in the Braille menu is the Translation table. This setting is best left at its default. It shows how Braille characters are viewed on the Braille display. Add Braille Display option is next. If you purchase a Braille display and want JAWS to recognize it, you must select this option. The final option in this menu is the Advanced Braille Display Settings button. •What are the options in the Advanced Braille Display Settings? The first option is Grade Two Enable Translator. If this is turned on, you will read contracted Braille with your Braille display. The next option is Grade Two Expand Current Word, and when this option is checked, the word your cursor is located on will be in uncontracted Braille. This makes it easier to find your cursor when editing documents, although some people may wish to have it turned off to save space on their Braille display. The third option is Grade Two Suppress Capital Signs. This option is very useful if you are working with a small Braille display and you don't have eight-dot mode running. Not viewing the extra dot 6's gives the Braille reader extra characters. Back to top of page Access with Speech or Audio Cues •What does the Voices Menu in Basic Settings allow you to do? The Voices submenu allows you to change the rate JAWS speaks. You can change individual settings so that if, for example, you open Word, JAWS will speak more slowly just for that program. If you change the global settings, JAWS will speak faster or slower universally. Spelling Rate Increment (Insert+numpad 5) will spell the selected word slower than the current rate of JAWS. You can change the spelling rate with this option. Pitch Increment is an edit box that allows you to change the pitch of the voice you are using. Voice pitch changes can occur for many different reasons, depending on your settings in the Sounds and Schemes Manager. Please see the question on the Sounds and Schemes Manager for more information. •Can I make the rate of speech faster or slower depending on which application I am using? Yes. This is called application-specific speech. Let us say that if you are using Internet Explorer, you want to make the rate of speech faster, so that you can quickly browse websites. On the other hand, you need to carefully read documents in Microsoft Word. Here is how you would increase the rate of speech for Internet Explorer: 1. Open Internet Explorer or, if you already have it open, press Alt+Tab until you find Internet Explorer. 2. Then press Alt+Tab until you reach JAWS. 3. Go to the Voice Settings in the Options Menu in JAWS. 4. A dialog box with two radio buttons will open. Arrow down once until you hear application. 5. Tab until you hear voice rate and then press Down Arrow to

[AI] Hardware Trojans could turn microchips into timebombs
Please do not ask for source. As I myself don't know and do not bother about it, how can I give you the source? I receive most of these mails from one of my tech savvy colleagues. As he forwards/sends me in the form of attachments, I have to open and read then copy and paste to this list. I hope those who ask for source will understand this. If I know the source, I will surely mention it. 'Hardware Trojans' could turn microchips into timebombs Firewalls and anti-virus software will be useless against to a new generation of attacks that target the very fabric of microchips by Paul Marks MICROCHIPS are vulnerable to a host of attacks during their manufacture that could quietly render them useless shortly after being put to use in crucial applications. The possibility is raising fears that critical systems such as air traffic control, power grids and military systems could be hacked more easily than had been thought. Last week, engineers from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, and the electronics firm Rockwell Automation of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, revealed how microchips could be effectively turned into time bombs in two papers published on the physics preprint server (arXiv:0906.3832 and 0906.3834). There is currently no way to test for chips adulterated in this way, says electronics engineer Frank Wolff of the Case Western team, although he and others are exploring detection techniques (see Tripping up trojans). Another kind of chip doctoring is exercising the minds of engineers at the Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). In 2005, a report from the Defense Science Board, an advisory committee for the US military, warned that the inexorable migration of silicon chip manufacturing from the US to countries employing cheaper labour meant the US was no longer in complete control of the technology it relies upon. How would anyone know, the board asked, if a chip-industry engineer in Taiwan, Singapore or China, say, had introduced a malicious circuit - a remotely controllable kill switch, for example - in a chip containing many millions of transistors? How would anyone know if a malicious, remotely controlled circuit had been introduced into a chip? As a result of that report, DARPA, based in Arlington, Virginia, established a research programme called Trust in Integrated Circuits. Its research, carried out largely in secret, is to work out how memory chips, logic circuit designs and the like can be adulterated - and how to detect those that have been. To sabotage a chip, a culprit would have to be an expert chip designer with access to the computer-aided design systems containing a chip's blueprints. The latest fear, however, is that it's not only designs that can be sabotaged - the manufacturing process itself is also vulnerable. The Case Western and Rockwell team says there are four ways in which the properties of semiconductors might allow hidden defects - which they call hardware trojans - to be introduced into microchips. They are all based on the mechanisms that eventually cause chips to wear out naturally some time after their 10-year guaranteed lifetime. The mechanism that most concerns them is called hot carrier injection (HCI) because it works by gradually - but undetectably - degrading the function of some of the transistors in a chip. So how would an HCI-based attack work? A transistor is an on-off switch with three terminals: a source and a drain through which the current flows, and a gate that sits above these terminals, linking them together. Applying a voltage to the gate sets up an electric field that allows a current to flow. The speed at which this happens is crucial as it helps to determine the clock speed of a microprocessor, or the access time of a memory. The gate terminal has a layer of silicon dioxide insulation beneath it which is constantly bombarded by electrons (hot carriers) whizzing through the channel between the source and drain. To prevent that insulation from deteriorating, engineers dope it with nitric oxide or nitrous oxide during manufacturing to create a resilient nitrate layer. So without the need to know anything about the circuit design, an engineer in a chip-making facility could modify the nitrate concentration, or the temperature of the nitrate layering process, to create a chip wafer with a thinner protective layer that is more vulnerable to hot carriers. The upshot is that the switching time becomes gradually slower until the gate's insulation breaks down completely - at which point the chip fails. Measuring the thickness of this layer in a chip is almost impossible so victims are initially unaware they've been targeted. A further problem is that the process of deterioration can vary hugely. That would cause some devices on a wafer to wear out in months to a few years, thus creating a reliability-based trojan, say the team. Earlier this year, Colonel Glenn Zimmerman of the
[AI] Tactile Access to the iPhone Is Here
Source: Braille Monitor November 2009. Tactile Access to the iPhone Is Here by Tony Olivero From the Editor: For several months now we have been hearing rumors that the Apple iPhone is actually accessible or soon will be. Tony Olivero is an access technology specialist in the Jernigan Institute International Braille and Technology Center. Here is his report of learning to use an iPhone: Apple computer is generally regarded as a company on the cutting edge of consumer computing technology. Many of Apple's products have brought advanced ideas into the mainstream and popularized sleek form and easy-to- use interfaces. The iPhone was certainly no exception. This device was the most powerful handheld computing, telephony, and information-access device on the market at the time of its initial launch. Unfortunately, as happens with many new pieces of consumer technology, for two years blind users were denied access to this cutting-edge product. This lack of access changed in June 2009 when Apple released the iPhone 3GS, the latest version of the phone's hardware platform with the ability to use third-generation mobile phone networks to provide high-speed data connectivity to the device. The iPhone 3GS is also the first touch- screen device to provide out-of-the-box, built-in screen access. Incorporating a version of Voiceover (Apple's screen-access product included in the Macintosh Operating System since version 10.4 Tiger) the iPhone provides blind users access to built-in software applications, including email, text messaging, the Safari Web browser, and the telephone itself. While this article will primarily focus on the speech output provided by VoiceOver, accessibility features called Zooms and White on Black may be useful to low-vision users. The iPhone The iPhone 3GS comes in either a black or white case with a silver Apple logo emblazoned on the back and offers either 16 or 32 gigabytes of storage. The phone is a candy-bar-style device, which means it is flat and does not fold like a flip phone. The back of the device is convex, allowing the phone to rest comfortably in the user's hand. Users interact with the iPhone almost entirely by using a touch screen. The phone has only four buttons. Most of the front surface is the screen, where information is displayed to sighted users and they control the phone. At the top of the front panel is the speaker hole, where sound is heard when the phone is held to the ear. At the bottom is a round button, the home key. When pressed, this key returns the user to the home screen, from which applications are chosen. Along the left edge is an up-and-down rocker switch used to control volume for system sounds, speech output, and callers. Just above the volume control is a two-way toggle switch used to select silent mode or sound. When the toggle is nearer the front panel, the silent mode is disabled. Options for silent mode can be customized by using the Sounds tab of the Settings application. The headphone jack is located at the top edge of the phone (it accepts a standard 3.5mm plug for stereo headphones with or without a built- in microphone). The Screen Lock/Power button is also located on the top edge, at the right side. Pressing this button once turns the screen off, placing the phone in locked mode, or wakes it up, presenting the user an unlocked screen. Double-tapping the Unlock button provides access to the phone. To power the phone off, hold down the Power button for ten seconds and, when prompted, double-tap the Power button. The bottom edge of the phone contains no controls, but it does house the speaker and dock connector, where the charging/data transfer cable is inserted. In addition to the phone, users receive a CD containing iTunes software; a USB cable that connects to the dock connector; a pair of stereo ear buds with a microphone, volume control, and Answer/Hang-up button built into the right-hand ear bud cord; an AC adapter that accepts the USB cable and allows charging from a standard outlet; and printed documentation. Setting up and Synchronizing the Phone In order to set up the iPhone for the first time, users must connect it to a computer running iTunes. When iTunes detects the phone, it will prompt the user to verify that he or she is the account holder and finalize the configuration of the phone. Once the phone has been authorized, the user can move onto configuring options and establishing synchronization parameters. When iTunes recognizes that an Apple device has been connected to the computer, a devices node
[AI] Emotional robots: Will we love them or hate them?
Emotional robots: Will we love them or hate them? Software that can tell our emotional state is on the way, but will we like machines that can sense how we feel? by Hazel Muir SUNDAY, 1 February 2009, and 100 million Americans have got only one thing on their minds - the Super Bowl. The Pittsburgh Steelers are poised to battle the Arizona Cardinals in the most popular televised sporting event in the US. In a hotel room in New York, 46 supporters gather to watch the game, munching burgers and downing beers. Nothing strange about that, of course, aside from the machines that are monitoring these sports fans' every move and every breath they take. The viewers are wearing vests with sensors that monitor their heart rate, movement, breathing and sweat. A market research company has kitted out the party-goers with these sensors to measure their emotional engagement with adverts during commercial breaks. Advertisers pay $3 million for a 30-second slot during the Super Bowl, so they want to be as confident as they can be that their ads are hitting home. And they are willing to pay for the knowledge. It's a rapidly growing market - our revenues this year are four times what they were last year, says Carl Marci, CEO and chief scientist for the company running the experiment, Innerscope Research based in Boston, Massachusetts. Viewers are wearing vests with sensors that monitor their heart rate, movement, breathing and sweat Innerscope's approach is the latest in a wave of ever more sophisticated emotion-sensing technologies. For years, computers in some call centres have monitored our voices so that managers can home in on what makes us fly into a wild rage. The latest technologies could soon be built into everyday gadgets to smooth our interactions with them. In-car alarms that jolt sleepy drivers awake, satnavs that sense our frustration in a traffic jam and offer alternative routes, and monitors that diagnose depression from body language are all in the pipeline. Prepare for the era of emotionally aware gadgets. Outside of science fiction, the idea of technology that reads emotions has a brief, and chequered, past. Back in the mid-1990s, computer scientist Rosalind Picard at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology suggested pursuing this sort of research. She was greeted with scepticism. It was such a taboo topic back then - it was seen as very undesirable, soft and irrelevant, she says. Picard persevered, and in 1997 published a book called Affective Computing, which laid out the case that many technologies would work better if they were aware of their user's feelings. For instance, a computerised tutor could slow down its pace or give helpful suggestions if it sensed a student looking frustrated, just as a human teacher would. She also suggested that wearable computers could sense emotion in a very direct way, by measuring your heart and breathing rate, or the changes in the skin's electrical conductance that signal emotional arousal. Wearable mood detectors could help people identify their stress triggers or communicate how they are feeling to others. The most established way to analyse a person's feelings is through the tone of their voice. For several years, companies have been using speech analytics software that automatically monitors conversations between call-centre agents and customers. One supplier is NICE Systems, based in Ra'anana, Israel. It specialises in emotion-sensitive software and call-monitoring systems for companies and security organisations, and claims to have more than 24,000 customers worldwide, including the New York Police Department and Vodafone. As well as scanning audio files for key words and phrases, such as a competitor's name, the software measures stress levels, as indicated by voice pitch and talking speed. Computers flag up calls in which customers appear to get angry or stressed out, perhaps because they are making a fraudulent insurance claim, or simply receiving poor service. Voice works well when the person whose feelings you are trying to gauge is expressing themselves verbally, but that's not always the case, so several research teams are now figuring out ways of reading a person's feelings by analysing their posture and facial expressions alone. Many groups have made impressive progress in the field, first by training computers to identify a face as such. Systems do this by searching for skin tone and using algorithms to locate features like the corners of the eyes and eyebrows, the nostrils and corners of the mouth (see diagram). The computer can then keep track of these features as they move, often classifying the movements according to a commonly used emotion encoding system. That system recognises 44 action units representing facial movements. For instance, one might represent a smile - the mouth stretches horizontally and its corners go up. Add to that an eye-region movement that raises the cheeks and gives you crow's feet and

[AI] General Interview Questions
hello accessindians Questions start the minute the interview does, and to show that you are an exceptional candidate, you need to be prepared to answer not only the typical questions, but also the unexpected. You can expect questions regarding your qualifications, your academic preparation, career interests, experience, and ones that assess your personality. 1. Tell me about yourself The most often asked question in interviews. You need to have a short statement prepared in your mind. Be careful that it does not sound rehearsed. Limit it to work-related items unless instructed otherwise. Talk about things you have done and jobs you have held that relate to the position you are interviewing for. Start with the item farthest back and work up to the present. 2. Why did you leave your last job? Stay positive regardless of the circumstances. Never refer to a major problem with management and never speak ill of supervisors, co-workers or the organization. If you do, you will be the one looking bad. Keep smiling and talk about leaving for a positive reason such as an opportunity, a chance to do something special or other forward-looking reasons. 3. What experience do you have in this field? Speak about specifics that relate to the position you are applying for. If you do not have specific experience, get as close as you can. 4. Do you consider yourself successful? You should always answer yes and briefly explain why. A good explanation is that you have set goals, and you have met some and are on track to achieve the others. 5. What do co-workers say about you? Be prepared with a quote or two from co-workers. Either a specific statement or a paraphrase will work. 6. What do you know about this organization? This question is one reason to do some research on the organization before the interview. Find out where they have been and where they are going. What are the current issues and who are the major players? 7. What have you done to improve your knowledge in the last year? Try to include improvement activities that relate to the job. A wide variety of activities can be mentioned as positive self-improvement. Have some good ones handy to mention. 8. Are you applying for other jobs? Be honest but do not spend a lot of time in this area. Keep the focus on this job and what you can do for this organization. Anything else is a distraction. 9. Why do you want to work for this organization? This may take some thought and certainly, should be based on the research you have done on the organization. Sincerity is extremely important here and will easily be sensed. Relate it to your long-term career goals. 10. Do you know anyone who works for us? Be aware of the policy on relatives working for the organization. This can affect your answer even though they asked about friends not relatives. Be careful to mention a friend only if they are well thought of. 11. What kind of salary do you need? A loaded question. A nasty little game that you will probably lose if you answer first. So, do not answer it. Instead, say something like, That's a tough question. Can you tell me the range for this position? In most cases, the interviewer, taken off guard, will tell you. If not, say that it can depend on the details of the job. Then give a wide range. 12. Are you a team player? You are, of course, a team player. Be sure to have examples ready. Specifics that show you often perform for the good of the team rather than for yourself are good evidence of your team attitude. Do not brag, just say it in a matter-of-fact tone. This is a key point. 13. How long would you expect to work for us if hired? Specifics here are not good. Something like this should work: I'd like it to be a long time. Or As long as we both feel I'm doing a good job. 14. Have you ever had to fire anyone? How did you feel about that? This is serious. Do not make light of it or in any way seem like you like to fire people. At the same time, you will do it when it is the right thing to do. When it comes to the organization versus the individual who has created a harmful situation, you will protect the organization. Remember firing is not the same as layoff or reduction in force. 15. What is your philosophy towards work? The interviewer is not looking for a long or flowery dissertation here. Do you have strong feelings that the job gets done? Yes. That's the type of answer that works best here. Short and positive, showing a benefit to the organization. 16. If you had enough money to retire right now, would you? Answer yes if you would. But since you need to work, this is the type of work you prefer. Do not say yes if you do not mean it. 17. Have you ever been asked to leave a position? If you have not, say no. If you have, be honest, brief and avoid saying negative things about the people or organization involved. 18. Explain how you would be an asset to this organization You should be anxious for this question. It gives you a chance to highlight your best
