Re: [AI] Mobile speak
Ok guies so there are two things to be answered: 1. Licencing, 2. Performance. 1. Licencing: As far as India is concerned, Amiyo sir is absolutely right, when they say that Talks give EMEI based licences. The reason is explained by Bhavesh bro in his mail, i.e., cost. On the other hand, Mobile Speak give licences on the user's number. If I am not mistaken, then efforts are going on to bring number based licencing for Talks in India too. 2. performance: It will be not right to say that Talks works better then mobile speak, if you have used V. 4.6 of this product. In fact, if you go to see, then it is the first software announcing support for touch screen devices, then ovi maps. Further, though officially symbion 3's support is not yet announced, but I am using C7, which is based on symbion 3, and is a touch screen device, without any difficulties except in clock, internet browsing, file manager and sms reading. Read talks 5.2 release notification, you will get the answer as to why implementing support for these apps has become difficult for the developers of any product. According to the reply submited for one ticket by codefactory support, they are working on android accessibility with their product. I don't think I need to say anything else in order to convey the product's efficiency. I am not here to market Mobile Speak, nor I am here to say anything against the efforts of Nuance, what I am trying to do is to only remove those thoughts which we all had before the release of 4.6 of mobile speak. Better you give it a try, and contact me for any problems with mobile speak. I am using 4.6 licence. -Original Message- From: bhavesh Sent: Friday, February 25, 2011 12:28 PM To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Subject: Re: [AI] Mobile speak no. the license of nuance talks is also avillable on two bases, i.e, EMI based, and simcard based. with EMI based license, you can not change your handset to use nuance talks, whereas with Simcardbased license, you can easily use talks on an another handset. however, simbased license costs more than that of EMI based. for more details, please visit: www.talknav.com with warm regards, bhavesh. On Fri, 25 Feb 2011 06:37:25 +0530 wrote I have heard that Talks is licensed on the IMEI code of the handset while mobile speak is on the phone number. That means, if the handset is lost, you have to pay for talks again to use it. However, you can change your number at will. If you use mobile speak, you are use it on any handset, provided you use the same phone number.

The cover page of the cheque book is generally made of thick paper. Ask someone to cut a window on it just at the place where you are supposed to sign. It is generally towards the bottom right corner. Now you can easily feel this square shaped hole in the cover page and sign between it. Then tear the first cheque leaf and put it in the printer and use my templates to print the payee and amount details at the correct places..

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

Re: [AI] help required regarding cheque facility to
Hello Sir! please don't mind, its depend on person to person, whether he is agree or not, it doesn't matter here. this may be an interesting issue for debate but not in practical banking. Everyone of us are fully matured here so as we know our several strengths as well as we should have to know our weaknesses too. Each of us also know that what's the importance of signature in checks or other documents, in case of any difference in the signature on your check, it will be rejected by the bank. In case of rejecting of any of your check in clearing because of miss-matching of signature, the party has a right to file a case against you in the court and in that case you will be treated as a normal customer only. Suppose, your bank pass your checks in a normal course, even there's a difference in your signature because of your blindness, sometimes you may be cheated. in case of credit card, its also too dangerous for blind because in case of miss-matching of your signature, the transaction will not be authorized by the bank. In case of ATM Card, its always too risky and I know, each of you know this very well. as the technology is getting improved, the risk factors are also increasing in the same reshow. I request to all of you, please don't take my opinion in a wrong way because as a banker, this is my moral responsibility here to create awareness against any possible risks. I suggest to all of you, please at the time of issuing any check, please right "Blind Person" on the bottom of check and mobile number on the back side of the check so that it will be easy for a banker to contact you in case of any problem.

hello dear harish, thank you for brief discription with best regards m.chandru - Original Message - From: "Kotian, H P" To: Sent: Wednesday, February 23, 2011 9:57 PM Subject: [AI] Tips for using Nokia OVI maps Hello All As requested, here is the steps for Using OVI maps I haveused Nokia E72 handset with Talks v 5.2 Although I have mentioned Talks as the screen reader, The instructions holds good for Mobile speak as well. A) Preparing GPS 1 Go toControl panel, Settings, general, positioning, positioning method. It may be different in other models. 2 You may select Integrated GPS and preferably also Assisted GPS (AGPS) if available on your phone. This is optional and helps in aquiring sattellite signals quickly. If you have external blue tooth GPS, then you will have to select this as well. B Configuring 1 There are 3 folders which you will have to use. Maps, Landmarks, GPS data. Maps is usually found in the mainMenu and the other 2 under Applications. I created a GPS folder in my Main menu and moved all these into it. This becomes convinient to use. 2Goto Maps and select it. After a while Talks will say drive. Now press key1. 3 When Talks says Account, come down and select Settings 4 When Talks says Internet, connection online if you want the search to be done so. If you will unseledt it, search will be off-line. I have found, online gives better search. However, even off-line you get pretty results in searching for a place. 5 Network destination should be internet 6 Press key key 2 to return back to settings 7 Select Navigation 8 In both voice guidance for drive and walk select the language with street names. Initially, it may have to download it from the net, hence it is advisable to do when you have a WIFI connection. Else you will have to incur GPRS charges. For English, Hindi and Tamil, you may not need to download from the net. Sometimes you don't hear the voice guidance, for which you will have to raise the volume up. C Getting Started 1 You are now ready to go. Go to an open area, may be your terrace, balcony or window. A place where you can get signals from the sattellite. Initially, it takes a very long time to aquire the sattelite. About 30 minutes. Better use GPRS and try it with AGPS on. 2 Select landmark , Key 1 and select new landmark 2 Select current landmark. Once your GPS aquires sattellite, it will fill the Lattitute and longititude fields.Give it a name and save this position. Alternatively you can use the map or enter it manually. 3 Henceforth, you will select this landmark and press Key1 and select show route 4After a while Talks says add new point.Move to GPS status. Talks says GPS status, no GPSNo GPS connection, No GPSposition.This means, your phone is awaiting signals from sattellite. Onceit picks it, it will tell you thequality of connection, like good, poor etc, the name of the nearest road and number of saeetlites. In case, you are traveling by vehicle and you want to essentially know where you are presently, This will keep refreshing as and when you change streets. 5 If you want to change between walk and drive, in GPS status, move your cursor right. Selecting will toggle between walk and drive. I have found by toggling this, the sattelite aquisition is faster. There should be no reason what so ever for this to happen, this is just my obseration. It may be coincidental. 6 In case you need voice navigation, you will press key 1 only after aquirig sattelite. Talks says, calculating route. Wait for a while and again press Key1. Press Key 1 one more time and Talks says Start driving or walking depending what you chose in step 5. Bingo! you start getting turn by turn navigation. Again, you can use the volume button to adjust the announcement level. 7 Pressing 3 shall give you a search box. I have found that this takes the distances of places progressively. So, if you select underground stations you can know the distances of the nearby busstations. Please don't ask me why bus stations are called underground stations. I have no answer for this . 8 To save your own route, set your destination, when you reach select save route and give it a meaningful name. 9 In the Main Maps folder you will find favorites and here you will find your favorite routes. Select it and choice drive or walk guidance. 10 In the search under the Main Maps, the search is very good. You can type a keyword and returns good results. You can also choose by category. This is for OVI Maps 3.03. This was fond on th Nokia web site. So for more information please see there web site. Pedestrian navigation shortcuts To save a location, press 2. To search for locations by categories, press 3. To adjust the volume of the pedestrian navigation guidance, press 6. To see the list of route points, press 7. To adjust the map for night-time usage, press 8. To see the dashboard, press 9. Car navigation shortcuts To adjust the ma

Wait for people like me who havent had a census enumerator visit my house as yet. 4. Also observe that in the States where there are active Disabled Rights Groups and networks, like Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, the experience has been better. 5. Write to the Census Commissioner Chandra Moiley and of course 6. please share it with Javed Abidi. He and his group had to go to Court in 2001 so that we could get counted and he has been discussing this matter since 2009. Also he did organise a 2 day meeting on the question, training etc as early as March 2010. after this March discussion several groups got organised and National level and state level training was undertaken. We got to thank Javed that atleast in most of our cases the enumerator did ask the question with a little prodding. There are many who havent realised the importance of Census and all I can say is that however much others fight for your cause, the change will come when you yourself start.

[AI] Fw: [SayEverything] Happiness is an attitude
- Original Message - From: sandesh To: sayeveryth...@yahoogroups.co.in Sent: Friday, February 25, 2011 1:11 AM Subject: [SayEverything] Happiness is an attitude Happiness is an attitude The 92-year-old, petite, well-poised and proud lady, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o'clock, with her hair fashionably coifed and makeup perfectly applied, even though she is legally blind, moved to a nursing home today. Her husband of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary. After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home, she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready. As she manoeuvred her walker to the elevator, I provided a visual description of her tiny room, including the eyelet sheets that had been hung on her window. "I love it," she stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy. "Mrs. Jones, you haven't seen the room just wait." "That doesn't have anything to do with it," she replied. "Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn't depend on how the furniture is arranged ... it's how I arrange my mind. I already decided to love it ... It's a decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have a choice; I can spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do. Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open I'll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I've stored away ... just for this time in my life."

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

Various initiatives such as developing existing SSA resource rooms as model resource rooms, appointing resource teachers to support the education of Children with special need (CWSN), clinical and functional assessment of the children, distribution of aids and appliances, making barrier free environment at schools, orientation and training of school teachers on disability have been initiated under inclusive education programme of SSA. The enrolment of children with specific need in the schools has given new hope to the children and their parents and is creating demand for specific support services. Lack of human resources has been one of the major challenges across the county in supporting the inclusive education component of the SSA. Two hundred and sixty nine (269) resource teachers have been appointed so far for 33 districts of the state - but looking at the number of identified children (2.48 Lakh) this is inadequate. Availability of resource teachers specialized to a particular disability remains another challenge. For 33552 identified visual impaired children in the state 66 special educators trained in VI are available which is highly inadequate. Due to less number of resource teachers' children with visual impairment find difficulty in receiving regular specific support and their educational need is not fulfilled properly. Lack of human resources also restricts the district authorities to extend other support services to the children with specific need. State also lacks technical manpower for assessment of low vision children and as a result very few children in the state have been assessed for low vision and given low vision devices. Children requiring plus curriculum training need regular and intensive support in the beginning so that they learn Braille and other plus curriculum skills and their integration in the mainstream schools becomes easier. Involvement of the parents and the community in the education of the children with specific need has not been significant in the state. Sightsavers has been supporting the Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR) programme in the two districts along with other districts in Rajasthan for the last 8 years. The CBR programme will facilitate in mobilizing community support in the implementation of the project. Realizing the current challenges being faced in the implementation of the inclusive education component in the state this partnership of Sightsavers with Government of Rajasthan is intended to pilot new approaches in two needy districts Jaisalmer and Barmer and undertake some specific state level joint initiatives. The ultimate aim of this collaboration is to see that all the blind and low vision children in the two pilot districts receive quality education and state initiative to promote inclusive education for children with specific need is strengthened. Sightsavers would be strengthening the state cell of inclusive education by supporting the salary component of a consultant for Blind / Low Vision for 3 years who will be supporting the IE cell in reporting and documentation along with coordinating the district pilot projects of the two districts. Sightsavers would be extending technical support to the IE cell in planning out the services to low vision children of the entire state and also provide resource support for training and capacity building activities as agreed in the proposal. Key Responsibilities of the Consultant The Key responsibilities of the Consultant mainly consist of the following: 1. Extending technical and

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

Re: [AI] help required regarding cheque facility to
Friends, Even in rare case we can not deny the importance of check book. It’s true that After net banking ATM and credit card we have lots of options of check book. Yet it’s tough to survive without it. I may be wrong but risk level in using check book net banking atm and credit card is same in the case of blind and sighted person. Practically we should not afraid in taking risk much because already being visually impaired there is lots of risk involves with each moment of our life. So we must use all banking facilities if we feel need. Though how much risk we want to take or how much risk we can afford its very personal matter. Its totally depends on our own need.

More information on this is available at http://www.prashant.myehome.in/down.html#cheque Further, there is a workaround for signing at the correct place on the cheque. The cover page of the cheque book is generally made of thick paper. Ask someone to cut a window on it just at the place where you are supposed to sign. It is generally towards the bottom right corner. Now you can easily feel this square shaped hole in the cover page and sign between it. Then tear the first cheque leaf and put it in the printer and use my templates to print the payee and amount details at the correct places..

Re: [AI] help required regarding cheque facility to
you are right sir, here in pnb while issuing personalised cheque book, the account no. name and customer's phone number is printed on the each leaf of book. about credit card, there is no need to confirm your signature while doing transaction. the credit card is to be inserted in the paying machine, and the amount will automatically be transfaered to the shop keeper's account. signature has just became formality. i suggest blind customers to opt a credit card with their photo graph embeded on it. credit card works like debit card, but, you have a limit to some certain amount. - Original Message - From: "B.

[AI] Researchers help blind ‘see’ Facebook photos
Hi folks, please read the following, it looks pretty interesting! --- Researchers help blind ‘see’ Facebook photos By Kortney Tenaglia February 24, 2011 at 7:38 pm TACTILE TECHNOLOGY: An ASU student runs his fingers across a Braille map of the ASU Tempe campus located in the Disability Resource Center. Baoxin Li, assistant professor in the School of Computing and Informatics, is in the process of developing a method that would enable the visually impaired to "see" the faces of people on computer screens by producing tactile images. (Photo by Aaron Lavinsky) Social networking has come to dominate 21st-century culture. But visually impaired people have yet to fully experience this digital community. Baoxin Li, assistant professor in the School of Computing and Informatics, is working with several ASU students to develop a way for the visually impaired to “see” images of faces on computers. “Imagine if a blind user can now get an idea what his [or] her Facebook friends ‘look like’ by touching tactile pictures made from their photos,” Li said in an e-mail. When Li came to ASU six years ago, similar research was already happening in the Center for Cognitive Ubiquitous Computing (CUbiC), he said. Researchers in CUbiC, which focuses on different applications for cutting-edge research, were developing assistive technologies for the visually impaired. Li said the researchers narrowed down the list of ways they could make social networks more accessible to the blind. “Among others, face images were chosen because of their significance in a person’s social and emotional life,” he said. The concept is similar to text-to-Braille, but differs because unlike words, images don’t have a strict alphabet, Li said. It’s challenging to print a photograph and translate it into an image, but through tactile form, blind participants are able to explore the image with their fingertips and “see” what an image looks like. “We developed computer-based image analysis techniques to identify major facial landmarks,” Li said. The analysis first works to identify the image through major facial features, such as the eyes and nose, and then puts them into tactile form. “A user can then explore the image by touch,” he said. Zheshen Wang, a fifth-year doctoral student in computer science and engineering, is Li’s key student researcher on the project. “Some of the blind participants were very excited in touching a graphical human face by hand,” Wang said in an e-mail. “It is a rewarding task.” Li, Wang and their team are currently working on mastering the technology and printing tactile faces for their participants, Li said, but actual deployment is in the works. “We will be seeking different embodiments of this technology,” Li said. “Such as its use as software component for tactile printer manufacturers … or a software package for a user at home.” Wang sees the future of tactile printing as affordable for the blind. She looks forward to the day when visually impaired people can select their friends online, click print and finally know how they look.

[AI] CONCESSIONS PROPOSED ON RAIL BUDGET
dear friends, here is the text copied from the rail budget 2011-12 regarding concessions: i will upload the entire rail budget on sendspace and inform you all. Concessions 86. At present physically handicapped persons are not entitled for concessions on Rajdhani and Shatabdi trains. It is proposed to extend the concession facility to them in these trains also. 87. Press correspondents are now entitled to avail 50% concession with family once in a year. It is proposed to increase this facility to twice a year. 88. It is proposed to extend the facility to the Kirti and Shaurya Chakra awardees of travelling in Rajdhani and Shatabdi trains. 89. In case of unmarried posthumous Param Vir Chakra and Ashok Chakra gallantry award winners of armed forces, it is proposed to extend the facility of card passes to the parents. 90. At present the concession for senior citizens is extended to both men and women at 60 years of age. I propose to reduce this in case of women to 58 years. I also do not want to annoy the men, and therefore, propose to increase their concession from 30% to 40%.~ Get numbers right this time, help the census with correct disability info!

Re: [AI] It is the right time to put forward the demand of concessional booking of e-ticketing.
I believe that a petition on accesibility was already made to the railway authorities and it included e-ticket booking also. Perhaps it's the time to write a separate petition Since the next election is about two years from now, we can use this as a card for our benifit. Vetri.

What u suggest can be proposed to the banking industry as a viable option. The VH community has to be very cautious before taking such decision, though this seems workable for now!

Re: [AI] It is the right time to put forward the demand of concessional booking of e-ticketing.
Yes, its true, few people had taken up the matter, but to my knowledge that time it was an issue which was to be resolved by IRCTC, to which they responded negatively casting the burden of extending this facility on cris, and further more since now cris is launching its portal, I think if we pressurise them now, then something can be done in this regard at this early stage itself. Because first of all we will have to convince them for this facility, and then there will be the issue of database of concessions, and then the genuineness of persons.

[AI] Configurations to be kept in mind for external hard drive (USB) for laptop?
Dear All Looking to buy an external hard drive which works using USB, for my vaio laptop, and the capacity should be 500 GB. Actually I need something good for data storage, as during the exams I do keep my laptop empty so taking backup in pen drive or DVD becomes teadious. To be honest, I have no knowledge of technical configurations of a hard drive, what I know is just RPM. I have spoken with the shop support team, they are suggesting me either seagate or westurn digital. Both come with 3 years warrantee, however wd has onside support whereas seagate has service center support. WD is USB 3.0, and seagate is USB 2.0. My laptop supports up to USB 2.2. Both are of 5400 RPM. I am unable to surf on the sites of both, as they are dam heavy and my connection is not letting me surf there. My questions are: 1. Is there anything else I need to checkout in the configuration? 2. If I take wd, will it work on my laptop with speed irrespective of the fact that I have support up to USB 2.2? 3. Which company do you suggest? Any other relevant point which you want me to know. Looking forward for an early response, as I have to get it before 3rd Maarch. Regards Amar Jain.

Re: [AI] CONCESSIONS PROPOSED ON RAIL BUDGET
Hi, Extension of the Railway concession to the Physically Handicapped in the Rajdhani and Shatabdi Express trains is good news. However, I would strongly assert that the terminology "Physically Handicapped" leaves scope for varied interpretation. For instance, some times the T T Es do not think the Blind travellers are Physically Handicapped. Having an argument with the TTE on the Rajdhani Express and being thrown out by the CRPF is not quite my idea of a concession in train travel. It is time that the various Govt functionaries pull up their socks and take the trouble of understanding disability and become more precise in their expression so that Govt orders, circulars are clear and not left to interpretation by the baboos. Further the use of the term "Physically Handicapped" by the Hon'ble Railway Minister is a clear reflection of the fact that we have not really covered much ground as far as the Govt is concerned. They in their ignorance continue to give ambiguous orders. I am not complaining, just underscoring a point.

Concessions 86. At present physically handicapped persons are not entitled for concessions on Rajdhani and Shatabdi trains. It is proposed to extend the concession facility to them in these trains also. 87. Press correspondents are now entitled to avail 50% concession with family once in a year. It is proposed to increase this facility to twice a year. 88. It is proposed to extend the facility to the Kirti and Shaurya Chakra awardees of travelling in Rajdhani and Shatabdi trains. 89. In case of unmarried posthumous Param Vir Chakra and Ashok Chakra gallantry award winners of armed forces, it is proposed to extend the facility of card passes to the parents. 90. At present the concession for senior citizens is extended to both men and women at 60 years of age. I propose to reduce this in case of women to 58 years. I also do not want to annoy the men, and therefore, propose to increase their concession from 30% to 40%.~ Get numbers right this time, help the census with correct disability info!
