Re: [AI] New iPhone a breakthrough for blind people
Can you tell me that this phone is having full keypad or not? I think in tuch screen phone there will be difficulty in handling it specially for locating the proper key butten. What may be the cost of this phone, I am supposed to perchase Nokia E7 for 25.5 K, if it is not much expensive then I will change my mind and I may go to this phone. On 10/26/11, Praful Vyas prafulnv...@gmail.com wrote: Dear Friends, New iPhone a breakthrough for blind people The iPhone has grabbed widespread attention for its sleek design, revolutionary multitouch display and countless apps. Not as well known is this: It's the only smartphone that blind people can use out of the box. That has local advocates downright giddy about the iPhone 4S, Apple's latest creation hitting stores today with an advanced voice-command feature called Siri. The blindness community is really hyped about what (the iPhone) does now and what it can do in the future, said Wes Majerus, a technology specialist and instructor at the nonprofit Colorado Center for the Blind. There is a lot of hype about Siri. Early reviews suggest Siri is a technological breakthrough, although it could use some tinkering. Siri responds to spoken commands such as Set my timer for 30 minutes, but it struggles with questions like When is the next flight to Denver from San Francisco? Apple says the software is still in beta, or test, mode. The company's video promoting the feature concludes with a blind woman responding to a text message simply by speaking to her iPhone. There's something to be said for being on the move and just pulling out the phone and dictating a text to somebody and getting it sent off, said Majerus, who is blind and owns an iPhone 4. An estimated 240,000 Colorado residents are blind or visually impaired, according to the American Council of the Blind. Apple first made its popular smartphone accessible to blind people in 2009 with the iPhone 3GS. VoiceOver was a standard feature on the device and subsequent updates. When the option is activated, the iPhone speaks almost everything that otherwise would be read on screen by the user, such as e-mails, phone numbers and letters on the virtual keyboard when they are tapped. The iPhone is the only fully accessible handset that a blind person can buy, said Chris Danielsen, a spokesman for the National Federation of the Blind, a nonprofit advocacy organization. Android has some accessibility capabilities, but they don't work as well as Apple. Before the iPhone 3GS, blind people had to purchase expensive third-party applications to make their cellphone accessible, Danielsen said. In addition to working out of the box, the iPhone has access to apps that support the VoiceOver option. There are also a number of third-party apps designed for blind people, such as LookTel's Money Reader app, which identifies currency with the iPhone's camera and speaks the denomination. Danielsen, who is blind, plans to switch from a Nokia phone to the iPhone 4S. Siri is just one reason. Apple is rolling out a bunch of new features that are going to enhance the ability of blind people to use the iPhone, he said, referencing the release of iOS 5, Apple's latest mobile operating system. The new features include clearer speech technology and the ability to add a custom spoken label to buttons and commands. In addition to powering the iPhone 4S, iOS 5 was released this week as a free update for the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPads and recent generations of the iPod Touch. Colorado Center for the Blind instructor Chip Johnson is excited about the new features, although he has a more cautious view. Sometimes the hype is more than the reality, he said, but it sounds like there's going to be some definite improvement. Majerus said Siri's artificial intelligence could help ease a concern that still exists among the blind community about using a touchscreen on a cellphone instead of raised keys. As a teacher, I'm still going to tell people that (the iPhone) has a touchscreen and you need to be able to use that touchscreen, Majerus said. But if it gets to the point where for some reason that's not working, hopefully they can get a lot out of the phone using Siri. - With warm regards, Praful Vyas. Hon.

Re: [AI] more info on talkback by g. srihari senior lecturer Re: Information about android mobile
Hi, I have purchased a htc chacha android phone Need help on installing and using talkback Pls revert Mohammed Ahtesham -Original Message- From: accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of SRI HARI GUDELLY Sent: 14 October 2011 10:05 To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Subject: [AI] more info on talkback by g. srihari senior lecturer Re: Information about android mobile Eyes-Free Android This blog details my use of various Android devices with Android Accessibility turned on. In combination with the eyes-free shell, this turns Android into a personal communication device that aids in independent living. and Monday, March 21, 2011 TalkBack Refreshed: Accessible On-Screen Keyboard And More ... Android Access: TalkBack Refreshed 1 Android Access: TalkBack Refreshed The latest enhancements to TalkBack now brings Android Accessibility to devices without a physical keyboard. Many of these enhancements also improve the overall TalkBack experience on all devices. 1.1 Highlights •New TalkBack Keyboard. •On-screen talking keyboard enables text entry via the touch screen. •Text review provides spoken feedback when moving the cursor by character, word, sentence, or paragraph. •Virtual D-Pad for navigating the Android user interface. •Global TalkBack commands enable one-click access to oft-used commands. 1.2 TalkBack Keyboard The TalkBack Keyboard is an Accessible Input Method (Accessible IME) that when activated enables you to enter and review text via the touch screen. To use this feature, you need to first activate the TalkBack keyboard via the Language and Keyboard option in the Settings menu. Next, customize the TalkBack Keyboard to taste via the TalkBack Keyboard Settings option --- here, you can customize additional features including auditory feedback as you type. Finally, open your favorite editing application, long-press on an edit field, and select TalkBack keyboard as your default IME. Note that you need do this only once; once the TalkBack keyboard has been made the default, it persists across reboots. 1.3 Entering Text On The Touch Screen TalkBack keyboard is an on-screen keyboard that supports touch exploration along with synchronized spoken and auditory feedback. This means you can now enter text when using devices that don't sport a physical keyboard. But wait, there's more here than meets the finger at first touch. Once you have activated the TalkBack Keyboard, you can switch the keyboard among three states by long-pressing the volume up/down buttons: Hidden The TalkBack keyboard is not displayed. Navigating You get access to an on-screen virtual D-Pad, along with Back, Home, Search, and Menu buttons. Typing An on-screen qwerty keyboard. My preferred means of using the keyboard is to turn on auditory feedback from within TalkBack Keyboard Settings, as well as having SoundBack active. In this mode, you hear keys as you explore the keyboard along with an auditory icon; picking up your finger types the last key you explored. Typing produces a distinctive key-click. The on-screen keyboard occupies the bottom 1/3 of your screen. While entering text, explore and find the top row, then move above it to hear what you have typed so far. 1.4 Reviewing Text By Character, Word, Sentence Or Paragraph You can now navigate and review text by character, word, sentence or paragraph. Use a two-finger tap to move forward through these navigation levels; a two-finger double tap moves in the reverse direction. Once you have selected your preferred mode of navigation, you can use Up/Down on the physical track-ball/D-Pad, or alternatively, flick up or down on the virtual D-Pad to move forward or backward through the text being reviewed. Note that text review works when the TalkBack keyboard is in either/navigating/ or typing mode; personally, I find it less error-prone on keyboard-less devices to first switch to navigating mode when reviewing text, since it is easy to inadvertently enter spurious text otherwise. 1.5 Using The On-Screen Virtual D-Pad Placing the TalkBack keyboard in navigating mode provides an on-screen virtual D-Pad --- this is especially useful on devices that do not have a physical D-Pad or track-ball on the front of the device. When active, the virtual D-Pad occupies the bottom one-third of the screen, and fast-flicks in that area has the same effect as moving with a D-Pad or track-ball. Tapping anywhere within the virtual D-Pad is the same as clicking with the track-ball. The corners of the virtual D-Pad also provides Back, Home, Search and Menu buttons --- these are especially useful on devices that lack explicit physical or capacitive buttons for these common Android actions. You can explore the virtual D-pad by moving your finger around the D-Pad area; crossing the top-edge of this area provides haptic and auditory feedback that can be used as an orientation aid in finding the virtual buttons on the corners. 1.6 Global

Hi Shona Man, answer of your 1st querie No, I Phone doesn't come any key pad, its a fully touch screen phone but its inbuilt screen reader Voice over is awsam, but when you starting using it you may have some difficultys to operate it, because we always used qwerty key pad phones newly when you switch to touch screen phone it will take little bit time to understand the interface of I phone, but im sure you will enjoy it much as like qwerty key pad phone. I phone 4s which comes talking feature called seeri is not lonch yet in india if you wait for 2 ,3 months it may be lonch, we can only hope that Apple lonch it because, in december Apple will going to lonch it about 70 countrys we can hope these 70 countrys include india also but not sure about it if you can't wait you can go with I phone 4g which is awsam product, it already lonched in india about 32 thousand, but if you can't afort, you can wait or look any other nokia phone, but pls pls don't buy nokia e7, because it touch interface was not good and its very big, bulky, not useful so much. you can go any other nokia handset.

Re: [AI] Jaws 13 officially released.
No, most certainly not. Reason: Captcha is such an image which is even hard to be recognized by human eye as they are not like normal image content in terms of its placement, looks, etc. Further, since they are randomly generated, it is practically difficult for an OCR to recognize it.

Re: [AI] help for best scanner
Hi, You cannot use a video camera for scanning. There is no OCR for interpreting text in movies. However, if you have sighted assistance, you can use a digital still camera to photograph the material and run the material through an OCR.

[AI] Nokia unveils Windows smartphone Lumia
Source: http://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/gadgets/article2573070.ece?homepage=trueHELSINKI, October 26, 2011 Nokia unveils Windows smartphone Lumia AP Share · print · T+ A screenshot of the Nokia website displaying Lumia, the firm's first Windows phone. A screenshot of the Nokia website displaying Lumia, the firm's first Windows phone. Nokia Corp. on Wednesday launched its long-awaited first Windows cell phones, hoping to claw back market share it has lost in the tough, top-end smartphone race to chief rivals, Apple Inc.’s iPhone, Samsung and Google’s Android software. But some analysts say it may be too little, too late, for the world’s top mobile phone maker. With price tags of 420 ($580) and 270, the Lumia 800 and 710 are based on Microsoft Corp.’s Windows 7 software and come eight months after Nokia and the computing giant said they were hitching up. “Lumia is reasonably good ... but it’s not an iPhone killer or a Samsung killer,” Neil Mawston from Strategy Analytics said. “But where Nokia does stand out is on their price it looks like they are going to be very competitive.” Lumia 800, with Carl Zeiss optics and 16GB of internal memory, will be available in selected European countries in November, including France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain and Britain. It will be sold in Hong Kong, India, Russia, Singapore and Taiwan before the year-end. Lumia 710, with a 1.4 GHz processor, navigational applications and Nokia Music, mobile music-streaming app will first be available in Hong Kong, India, Russia, Singapore and Taiwan toward the end of the year. The company’s share price jumped almost 3 per cent to 4.96 ($6.90) in otherwise depressed market in Helsinki. Nokia also unveiled four cheaper smartphones aimed at emerging markets, the Asha handsets priced 60 to 115 with cameras, navigation applications and fast downloads, in a bid to help “the next billion” users connect to the Internet, Nokia CEO Stephen Elop said at the Nokia presentation in London. Equipped with QWERTY keyboards and some with the popular dual SIM cards, the Asha handsets will be shipped globally in the fourth quarter or early 2012. Nokia, which claims 1.3 billion daily users, has steadily been losing ground in smartphones, squeezed in the low end by Asian manufacturers like ZTE and in the high end by the iPhone, Research in Motion’s Blackberry, Korea’s Samsung Electronics and Taiwan—based HTC Corp. The iPhone has set the standard for smartphones among many design-conscious consumers. The Blackberry has been the favourite of the corporate set and increasingly Google Inc.’s Android software has emerged as the choice for phone makers that want to challenge the iPhone. Samsung and HTC snapping at Nokia’s heels for third place in top-end smartphones behind the iPhone and Samsung are the biggest users of the Android platform. Nokia is still operating Symbian software, older than Apple’s software and considered clumsy by many, although it has been upgraded. Nokia also introduced the MeeGo platform in its flagship N9 model launched last month.

Re: [AI] New iPhone a breakthrough for blind people
It is not having a key pad. It is a touch screen phone. It wont be difficult for you. When you tab each time you can know with the help of voice over what you are doing. The cost of this phone is from 30,000 to 35,000. Even E7 is also having a touch pad. But the advantage of I phone is that you don't have to buy a screen reading software it is inbuilt. But for E7 you have to buy talks for it. Regards, Phen On 10/25/11, Shona Man shonam...@gmail.com wrote: Can you tell me that this phone is having full keypad or not? I think in tuch screen phone there will be difficulty in handling it specially for locating the proper key butten. What may be the cost of this phone, I am supposed to perchase Nokia E7 for 25.5 K, if it is not much expensive then I will change my mind and I may go to this phone. On 10/26/11, Praful Vyas prafulnv...@gmail.com wrote: Dear Friends, New iPhone a breakthrough for blind people The iPhone has grabbed widespread attention for its sleek design, revolutionary multitouch display and countless apps. Not as well known is this: It's the only smartphone that blind people can use out of the box. That has local advocates downright giddy about the iPhone 4S, Apple's latest creation hitting stores today with an advanced voice-command feature called Siri. The blindness community is really hyped about what (the iPhone) does now and what it can do in the future, said Wes Majerus, a technology specialist and instructor at the nonprofit Colorado Center for the Blind. There is a lot of hype about Siri. Early reviews suggest Siri is a technological breakthrough, although it could use some tinkering. Siri responds to spoken commands such as Set my timer for 30 minutes, but it struggles with questions like When is the next flight to Denver from San Francisco? Apple says the software is still in beta, or test, mode. The company's video promoting the feature concludes with a blind woman responding to a text message simply by speaking to her iPhone. There's something to be said for being on the move and just pulling out the phone and dictating a text to somebody and getting it sent off, said Majerus, who is blind and owns an iPhone 4. An estimated 240,000 Colorado residents are blind or visually impaired, according to the American Council of the Blind. Apple first made its popular smartphone accessible to blind people in 2009 with the iPhone 3GS. VoiceOver was a standard feature on the device and subsequent updates. When the option is activated, the iPhone speaks almost everything that otherwise would be read on screen by the user, such as e-mails, phone numbers and letters on the virtual keyboard when they are tapped. The iPhone is the only fully accessible handset that a blind person can buy, said Chris Danielsen, a spokesman for the National Federation of the Blind, a nonprofit advocacy organization. Android has some accessibility capabilities, but they don't work as well as Apple. Before the iPhone 3GS, blind people had to purchase expensive third-party applications to make their cellphone accessible, Danielsen said. In addition to working out of the box, the iPhone has access to apps that support the VoiceOver option. There are also a number of third-party apps designed for blind people, such as LookTel's Money Reader app, which identifies currency with the iPhone's camera and speaks the denomination. Danielsen, who is blind, plans to switch from a Nokia phone to the iPhone 4S. Siri is just one reason. Apple is rolling out a bunch of new features that are going to enhance the ability of blind people to use the iPhone, he said, referencing the release of iOS 5, Apple's latest mobile operating system. The new features include clearer speech technology and the ability to add a custom spoken label to buttons and commands. In addition to powering the iPhone 4S, iOS 5 was released this week as a free update for the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPads and recent generations of the iPod Touch. Colorado Center for the Blind instructor Chip Johnson is excited about the new features, although he has a more cautious view. Sometimes the hype is more than the reality, he said, but it sounds like there's going to be some definite improvement. Majerus said Siri's artificial intelligence could help ease a concern that still exists among the blind community about using a touchscreen on a cellphone instead of raised keys. As a teacher, I'm still going to tell people that (the iPhone) has a touchscreen and you need to be able to use that touchscreen, Majerus said. But if it gets to the point where for some reason that's not working, hopefully they can get a lot out of the phone using Siri. - With warm regards, Praful Vyas. Hon.
