[AI] suggestion regarding formation of devices

2011-05-17 Thread Ritu Shrivastav
hello all, how are you? Iam ritu shrivastava and Iam feeling good
after connecting myself with you all.I have written this mail for
doing some innovations in the field of visually challenged.I have some
suggestions which is really helpful for the servival of visually
challenged person and I want to impliment these in future. But without
your assistence, it is little bit difficult for me to follow the given
suggestions.
the suggestions are-1 according to my view, many visuallu impared
persons are facing the problem of recognising the amount of currency
due to its poor quality. I have an idea of preparing a device named
currency amount recogniser with should be in the shape of a cell phone
if anybody wants to recognise the note he or she keep that note on the
device and it will give speech output ti visually impared in the form
of result. I think that the device should also helpful for recognising
whether the kept currency note is faque or not.and the most important
point is-it should be within the reach of every affected persons with
visual defects.
and 2 a cane in which visually impared person can set his destination
with bus number by typing and it will guide that person as per the
instructions given by him. lastly I want to say "if we want to work
for the upliftment of persons with visual defects or any persons who
are facing physical or entellectual difficulty, we should leave the
atitude of earning a lot of money because money is nothing in front of
humanity"
am I right? please send your suggestions at iether on the prescribed
site or on my E mail address. that is-rituma...@gmail.com

Subject: [AI] Career guidance required for my friend

Dear friends,

One of my friends at Tirupati is doing MA English.  She wants to get
into the corporate world.  Since she requires some professional
knowledge to get into the field, she wants to do post graduate diploma
in human resource management along with her masters.

Now the following are the questions;

1.  Will it be really helpful if she does the course?

2.  Is it really necessary to do the course to enter the corporates?

3.  Are there any universities offering PGDHRM in distance mode having
examination centers at Chennai?

4.  What are the job opportunities for a person with MA English in the
corporate field?

Guidance required.

Re: [AI] Urgent help needed regarding OpenBook

Madam: Please select the file in which settings are to be saved. When
you click on save settings, and in the dialogue press shift tab I
guess to get to the list of files. If you are doing it for the first
time, it will be default file. If you wish to override that file,
select that file and then click on save. Otherwise, in the file name
box, just give any other name say for example, Law, for saving the
settings of legal documents scanning.
Come back if you have more questions, I'm using Pearl with Open Book 9.
Thanks

[AI] Now access Facebook on mobile without internet

2011-05-17 Thread Vikas Kapoor
Now access Facebook on mobile without internet 









New Delhi: Singapore-based software applications developer U2opia Mobile has 
developed a new application for mobile phones that will allow users to access 
Facebook on all types of handsets without paying for a data connection.

"We are using USSD technology, which will enable users to access Facebook 
without having a GPRS connection on their phones," said Sumesh Menon, the 
co-founder and chief executive officer of U2Opia Mobile. Unstructured 
Supplementary Data (USSD) is the technology used by telecom players to send 
alerts to their users that inform them about their balance at the end of a call 
or for sending missed call alerts.

Mr. Menon mentioned that though the technology will not provide access to 
graphics, it will help users send and view updates on their friends' Facebook 
walls.

"It is like SMS and hence, the load on the network is negligible. We have built 
some commands through which a user can receive alerts on activity happening on 
his wall as well post an update," said Mr. Menon.

U2opia launched this application on Tuesday with Indian telecom major Bharti 
Airtel.

While Airtel customers can update their Facebook status through this USSD 
service free of cost, Re.1 per day will be applicable for accessing the 
full-feature application, which enables viewing news feeds, commenting on or 
'liking' news feed stories, posting on friends' walls, confirming friend 
requests, viewing notifications and findingand adding friends.

"In the Indian market scenario, where the penetration of smart phones is 
relatively low, and the use of internet on mobiles is primarily limited to key 
cities, many users are excluded from accessing their Facebook accounts via 
mobile phones," said Shireesh Joshi, Bharti Airtel Director - Marketing, Mobile 
Services, in a statement.

Airtel users can dial *325# and *fbk# for non-qwerty mobile handsets to access 
Facebook without subscribing to data plans, the statement said. "We look 
forward to bringing millions of Facebook users in India closer to their love 
for social networking by allowing them to access it anytime, anywhere on their 
Airtel-powered mobile phones," Mr. Joshi added. - PTI

Re: [AI] Should you reveal disability during the job search?

2011-05-17 Thread prateek aggarwal
hi Folks,
In my view, when you apply for a job, your motto is not to test how
aware the employer is. You want job, and the kind of lack of awareness
we have in India, there are very few employers who would call you for
interview after seeing disability mentioned on your CV.
Moreover, I wonder why do we need to mention disability on CV? I find
no reason at all until I’m able to perform equally with my other
sighted colleagues.
Many of the sighted folks have health problems like heart issues,
diabetes etc, and like its not necessary for them to reveal their
health problems on CV, it should be same in disability too.
The purpose of CV is to answer “how able you are”, rather “how disable you are”.

So in my humble advise, mention your skillset on your resume, not
disability.  its just a physical difference, which does not matter at
all till you are able enough to perform the job you are appearing for.
The road ahead from submitting resume is already tuff, I find it
unwise to make it tuffer by yourself by committing unnecessary
mistakes.

Prateek agarwal.

   HI friends,
by not disclosing disability in our CV, can influence potential employer
both way..

on one hand, employer can assume that the person is hiding the facts.
Although, the CV holder can either convince interviewer that why he did not
disclose the disability in CV and can make him understood what disables can
do with assistive technology.
on the contrary, the interview can start with negative and suspicious
atmosphere.
I think it is better to give some idea to potential employer about our
disability before any interview.
one way, we can do, we dont reveal disability in our CV but we can try to
contact him via telephone or email simultaneously and can have an informal
chat about our disability.

[AI] Urgent help needed regarding OpenBook

2011-05-17 Thread Sneha Nandakumar
Hello Access Indians,

Greetings to you all! I usually scan my study materials and read them.
I was using ABBYY Fine Reader, but now I have switched to OpenBook. My
doubt is that, if we change the settings in OpenBook, how to save the
settings? I tried the "Save the Settings" option, but the settings are
not getting saved. What could be the problem? Please help me.

With regards,
Sneha.

Re: [AI] Should you reveal disability during the job search?

2011-05-17 Thread Ajay Minocha
Hy
srinivasu sir I am totally agread with you
because in our country things are quite different
even the people who are doctors and specially deal with eyes treatment
they also don't know the ablities the assistive technology can provide
to visually impaired
then what about employers?
how can we assume that they hav any idea regarding jaws and other
assistive technologies though things are quite changed in the recent
time but we will have to wate  for at least 4 to 5 years to show our
impairment  in our cv
these are my personal views

Hi Bhavani,

The suggestion works fine, but once when I configur the bluetooth, it
ask's me to switch on the device. I really don't know where is the

If you know can you please guide me through the same?

Thanks in anticipation,
