Re: [AI] A Braille application that’s for everyone
If such applications and devices have a larger market segment i.e. the number of users is larger (when used by both VI and the sighted) the product may become less expensive for us. - Original Message - From: "Rahul Kelapure" To: "accessindia" Sent: Tuesday, February 21, 2012 12:35 PM Subject: [AI] A Braille application that’s for everyone A Braille application that’s for everyone A simple cellphone app created to let the blind type could also let sighted users text on their phone while doing other tasks like walking, watching TV, socialising or even secretly during a meeting Imagine if cellphone users could text a note under the table during a meeting without anyone being the wiser. Mobile gadget users might also be enabled to text while walking or socialising without taking their eyes off what they’re doing. Georgia Tech researchers have built a prototype app for touchscreen devices. “Research has shown that chorded, or gesture-based, texting is a viable solution for eyes-free texting in the future, making obsolete the need for users to look at their devices while inputting text on them,” said Mario Romero, the project’s principal investigator. The free app, called BrailleTouch, incorporates the Braille writing system used by the visually impaired. It has been conceived as a texting tool for any of the millions of smartphone phone users worldwide. Early studies with visually impaired participants proficient in Braille typing have demonstrated that users can input at least six times the number of words per minute compared to other prototypes for eyes-free texting. Users reach up to 32 words per minute with 92 per cent accuracy with the prototype app for the iPhone. For sighted users, the team is exploring how the app could be a universal eyes-free texting app that replaces QWERTY keyboards. The app uses a gesture-based solution by turning the touchscreen into a soft-touch keyboard programmed for Braille and requiring only six keys, making it a practical solution. The key feature of the BrailleTouch is the use of the six-key config so that the keyboard fits on the screen and users keep their fingers in a relatively fixed position while texting. This design allows users to hold their device with the screen facing away from them – cradling the device with their palms to type with a majority of their fingers, identical to typing Braille on a standard keyboard -- Rahul Kelapure +91 9833349929 Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/accessindia@accessindia.org.in/ To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.

Re: [AI] need audio to text converter
OK, if your friend is not blind, then definitely do try window's own speech recognition. an on-screen keyboard will not help as this replaces a physical keyboard attached to the computer and allows you to point and click on the characters to be typed into a document. windows Vista and windows 7 both have inbuilt speech/voice recognition software that allows the computer to be dictated to. I hope it may be sufficient for your friend. hth Doris At 11:47 PM 2/22/2012 +0800, you wrote: dear friends, i'm very sorry for not beeing clear to you. that phisically challenged guy is not having problems with vision. so he don't want screen readers. he can't walk and can't speak clearly. he uses systems and type but very slowly so that, most of the employers are not ready to give him job. his hands are slightly impaired. so we have to find good voice recognition softwares like "dragon" which you mentioned. in utilities, there is an option called "on screen keyboard". will it work for him? in such case, kindly send me the steps to use that or send me details about buying "dragon natural speeking".

[AI] Fwd: Braille Under Siege As Blind Turn To Smartphones : All Tech Conside...
Hi all, Folks: hope all are doing fine pasting below a intrusting article, which get from another list. Regards Wahid -- Forwarded message -- Braille comes unbound from the book: how technology can stop a literary crisis Apple is at the vanguard of a push behind technology that's helping old-fashioned Braille replace text-to-speech audio for the blind - and it couldn't have come at a more critical time By Saabira Chaudhuri guardian.co.uk 14 February 2012 http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2012/feb/14/technology-brings-braille-back -apple On a lazy Sunday afternoon, Chancey Fleet reads the menu of Bombay Garden to four friends gathered at the back of the Chelsea-based Indian restaurant in New York City. Although she is reading aloud, there are no menus on the table. They aren't necessary, because Fleet is blind. Instead, she reads using a Braille display that sits unobtrusively on her lap and connects to her iPhone via Bluetooth, electronically converting the onscreen text into different combinations of pins. She reads by gently but firmly running her fingers over the pins with her left hand while navigating the phone with her right. "The iPhone is the official phone of blindness," she told the Guardian. Until recently, technology, especially that which converts text to audio, has been hastening the demise of Braille, which educators say is a bad thing. Students who can read Braille tend on average to acquire higher literacy rates and fare better professionally later on. But Apple's push into the field - coupled with increasingly affordable Braille displays - has the potential to bring Braille back in a big way. Fleet's iPhone has a built-in screen reader called VoiceOver that works with all native applications. It tells Fleet what her finger is touching, allowing her to download the restaurant menu and read it, access her email, and do anything else she needs to with the phone, either by converting text into Braille on the separate display or by reading out loud to her. (Here's a video of the process at work.) Fleet also uses her display to type, rather than navigate with her iPhone or computer keyboard. It has a spacebar and with eight thumb-sized keys - one that works as a backspace key, another as an enter key, and the remainder that function as the six dot positions that comprise a Braille character. When Apple released the first accessible iPhone in 2009, "it took the blind community by storm," said Fleet. "We didn't know, nobody knew, that Apple was planning an accessible device. The device went from being an infuriating brick to a fluid, usable, opportunity-levelling device in one iteration." Apple has shown that "devices aren't inaccessible because they have to be, but because companies made them with a lack of imagination," said Fleet. "Apple proved that a blind person could use an interface that didn't have physical buttons." Anne Taylor, director of access technology for the National Federation of the Blind, agrees. "Apple has set the bar very high," she said. "No other mobile OS provider, such as Google or Microsoft, has made Braille available on their mobile platform." Apple's iPad, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and third generation iPod Touch already support more than 30 Bluetooth wireless Braille displays. And the company's recent push into digital textbooks could greatly reduce the time it takes for Braille textbooks to be available to students, not to mention reduce their cost and size: a single print textbook must be transformed into several volumes of Braille. "Ebooks can be a game changer if they're properly designed because it would allow us to get access to the same books at the same time at the same price as everyone else," said Christopher Danielsen, spokesman for the NFB. "Publishers and manufacturers have to ensure they are designed to be accessible to work with braille displays. That's what Apple has done. Apple is not perfect but they're way, way ahead of everybody else in this area." The benefits of Braille Apple's accessibility efforts come at a pivotal time. For decades now, the number of Braille users has been on the decline. Data from the American Printing House for the Blind's annual registry of legally blind students shows that in 1963, 51% of legally blind children in public and residential schools used Braille as their primary reading medium. In 2007 this number fell to just 10%, while in 2011 it stood at under 9%. While there are many reasons for the decline of Braille, technology that converts text to speech has been identified as a major factor. In a nationwide sample of 1,663 teachers of visually impaired and blind students conducted in the early 1990s, 40% chose reliance on technology as a reason behind Braille's decline. "When we experienced the tech boom in the nineties, I was led to believe speech was the way forward, that Braille was becoming obsolete," said William O

I am having an acount in Fedral bank and they are giving all what we are suppose to get like ATM card cheque book and all other facilities including net banking. The only thing you have to do is to ask them to creat an acount in Yuva mithra acount for you. It is a special acount for the Visually impaired. It is a 0 balance acount activation. Check it out with them. If they say that they wont give you atm card or any other facilities then write me off the list I'll check it out with them. If it something to do with your own branch office then i'll see if anyone can do something or else you may have to talk with your branch manager. This is all.

[AI] Visually-challenged students learning management at the IIMs, inspiring others
Truly inspiring friends Take your time to read this long piece. How lucky I am, started my day by reading this article. Thanks to Prof Zoya Hassan to forward this to me. URL http://www.pagalguy.com/2012/02/visually-challenged-students-learning-management-at-the-iims-inspiring-others/ Visually-challenged students learning management at the IIMs, inspiring others by Astha A on 22 February 2012 in IIM Calcutta, IIM Lucknow, Life at b-school, visually challenged Contributed By: Apurv Pandit 50 comments Every year, among the long list of students getting admitted into the country’s top educational institutions are the about half-dozen names who make it through the ‘Differently Abled’ category. While a lot is written about the perseverance it must have required on their part to overcome problems and clear the Common Admission Test (CAT) to get into the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs), we know very little about how they cope with the extreme rigour of b-school life once they are in. Perhaps, many of us even conjure up visions of some kind of extra-special treatment or leniency meted out to them in an environment full of some of the most brightest and gifted youngsters of the time. While visiting the IIMs at Calcutta and Lucknow, PaGaLGuY stopped by the dorms where live Suresh Reddy and Vishal Kumar Jain, both visually-challenged, and the sheer effortlessness of their existence at these schools came to us like a slap in the face. Vishal Kumar Jain, IIM Lucknow Sitting at his computer inside his hostel room at IIM Lucknow, as 26-year-old Vishal Kumar Jain operates the keyboard, a digitally-generated voice promptly reads out the text written on the screen at a speed that you would find hard to comprehend. “Start!” “Programs!” “Internet Explorer!”. “That’s ‘Jaws’, a screen-reading software which is literally the backbone of my academic life here,” describes Vishal, who hails from Bellary, Karnataka. Since he cannot see what is written on the screen, the software reads out whatever he types, or the text that appears on the screen, whether in programs, ebooks or websites, making the usage of computers as effortless for him as for any person with normal eyesight. Indeed, he owes computers a lot for helping him overcome obstacles that would otherwise have stopped him from realising what he was really made of. Vishal had to leave school after class 9th because his vision — which had started deteriorating due to the onset of Retinitis pigmentosa when he was five — had nearly gone. He spent the next three years working in his father’s business, even as two of his elder siblings too started reaching the advanced stages of their own eyesight problems. “That was when I by chance came to know about this computer training at Bangalore, which I joined. There I learned how to use computers and know a lot of things about how I could overcome my condition,” he says. The Internet helped him get in touch with other visually challenged people and volunteers who helped him learn about all the options he had for his future and the tools and aids available to him. ”For example, I had been misinformed earlier that I could not study science in school as conducting laboratory experiments required functional eyesight. I later learned that it was not true, and I could have very well entered the science stream,” he says. But by then, he had finished commerce at high school and was studying BCom at a Bangalore college. “During my graduation, I sat for placement interviews of six multinational companies and cleared all their rounds. But none of them gave me a final offer. Everybody else around me was getting job offers, but I wasn’t despite clearing all the rounds. I later came to understand that these companies had very little knowledge about how to handle my case, and had decided not to hire me,” he recalls. IIM Lucknow too had initially come across as unprepared to comfortably host someone with the kind of peculiar special needs as Vishal. “I had to struggle at IIM Lucknow for a few initial days because I was the first person on this campus who had a different set of requirements. There had been one visually challenged person here before me but he had enough vision to read, write and see sufficiently. My vision on the other hand is 99% gone, it’s as good as none,” described Vishal. Vishal spent the first few days talking to the head of every department individually so that they could understand his needs and then put in place the necessary policies and arrangements. “Buying the software ‘Jaws’ was one of the first things we did after Vishal joined. It converts printed books to ebooks and then reads them out to him,” says Prof Ajay K Garg, IIM Lucknow’s dean in-charge of student affairs. “We also put him in the hostel which had ramps everywhere and was closest to the teaching block and library complex,” he adds. “The scanning process often means that my books arrive 2-3 days later than that of others, but it makes all

Dear friend, The yuva mithra acount is a acount specially for both physicaly challenged and for visually chalenged. It is there only for Fedral bank I don't know about other banks. The facilities that they give are 1. to open with 0 balance acount 2. Free sms alert when you are depositing your money and when you are withdrawing your money from your acount. 3. free internet banking. 4. If you have more than Rs. 5000 then your sms alert will be free but if it is lesser than rs. 5000 then the bank will cut rs. 25 quarterly from your acount. This is all from what I know. If you want to know more about any thing else then I will ask them. RGDS, Phen Varghese On 2/23/12, BIJORNE wrote: > Hi friend can you give me a small introduction about the yuva mithra > account?

[AI] Disability rights budgeting: The need of the hour, By Javed Abidi
URL: http://southasia.oneworld.net/union-budget-2012/disability-rights-budgeting-the-need-of-the-hour/?searchterm=javed+abidi Disability rights budgeting: The need of the hour Javed Abidi 08 February 2012 It is high time the Government of India incorporates disability rights budgeting, on the lines of gender budgeting, in their Union Budget, writes Javed Abidi. There is growing concern within the social sector at the government’s gradual abdication of responsibility on social development issues. What started in the early 90s when India was staring into an economic crisis and the austerity measures conveniently axed expenses on social development issues, has slowly become the trend. The ‘Nine is Mine’ campaign is a testimony to that. If you look at the meagre budget on social development issues with a disability lens, it gets even more abysmal. Disability is at the bottom of the ladder, not just for the policy makers but also in the mainstream civil society’s advocacy towards the Union Budget. Javed Abidi is Honorary Director, National Centre for Promotion of Employment for Disabled People, New Delhi and Chairperson, Disabled People's International. The 11th Five Year Plan (2007-2012), which is coming to an end, was a major step forward for the disability sector as it had a distinct sub-chapter on disability. More than 95% of its mandate still remains on paper. In the coming Union Budget, we would like to see a commitment from the Government of India to fulfill at least some of the remaining promises. Our expectations are: 1: In the budget of all the Ministries, a 3% allocation has to be made for disability related issues pertaining to that particular Ministry. 2: Announce the setting up of Disability Units in all Ministries. 3: Announce the setting up of a separate Department on Disability Affairs within the Social Justice and Empowerment Ministry, as mandated in the 11th Five Year Plan. 4: Announce and allocate funds for the setting up of a National Institute on Universal Design. 5: Announce and allocate funds for the setting up of a National Institute on Close Captioning. 6: Announce and allocate funds for the setting up of a National Institute on Assistive Technology. 7: Overhaul the non-starter incentive scheme called the ‘Scheme of Providing Incentives to Employers in the Private Sector for Providing Employment to Persons with Disabilities’. In its place, the Government should come out with a scheme that gives an employer distinct tax breaks for employing people with disabilities. Introduce a Grant and Levy Scheme for Private Sector employers. 8: Initiate a disability specific Sub-programme under National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) and National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM). 9: Ensure that all social security schemes should not only cover and ensure non discrimination of persons with disabilities but also should take into account the extra disability costs incurred by persons with disabilities (for health care, assistive devices, transport, personal attendants, etc.). Additional allowance and reasonable accommodations should be provided for persons with disabilities. 10: A serious commitment on the part of the Government towards making inclusive education a reality. Clear cut funds to be allocated to the Ministry of Human Resource Development to make all schools, colleges and educational institutes accessible, develop appropriate curriculum, train and recruit teachers for special needs students and ensure relevant disability support such as accessible textbooks, sign language interpreters, etc. Disability rights group members protesting against the non-implementation of the 11th five year plan proposals. The Union Budget has always been very disappointing to the disability sector. Year after year, despite several interventions – sometimes confrontational and sometimes collaborative, disability continues to be relegated to ‘welfare’ and ‘Social Justice’. The fact that disability is a cross-cutting issue has still not registered with the policy makers of our country. In a country where vote bank politics determines as to who gets what, it is time that the people who decide the fate of the Nation realise that people with disabilities form 10% of our population and that’s some 100 million or so votes. On the lines of gender budgeting, the concept of disability rights budgeting is the new buzzword in the global scenario. It is high time the Government of India incorporates this concept in their Union Budget. National Centre for Promotion of Employment for Disabled People (NCPEDP) has started work on disability rights budgeting in India, catalysing disabled leaders from across the country and across disabilities to work on this project. A much talked about demand in the social sector is that we fight amongst each other for a share of the pie, whereas we should be fighting together in order to get a bigger pie. This makes ample sense. But for the disability sector that

Re: [AI] Science Education of Visually Impaired
Hi Santosh, Nice to learn that you have taken up Science and in my humble opinion, you should make the best use of assistive devices and technology and attend to the practical's and shouldn't look for concessions or exemptions. So I suggest, your research should be find out solutions for the problems you would face in practical sessions. For instance, if you need to deal with liquids, there are liquid level indicators and there are talking measuring instruments. This way, not only, you would complete your studies, but an opportunity for you to educate your collage / university to make their labs accessible. Let us know, if you have any questions.
