Re: [AI] A Menstrual Kit for Visually Impaired Girls.
Really, great work done by madam, Sadhvi Thukral. On 29/09/2013, Swati Sinha swatisinh...@gmail.com wrote: Good, really nice. Hope all the visually Impaired girls be benefited with this kit.

The second part has a life-sized, three-dimensional model for demonstration and training. If you thought periods were one of those difficult days of the month for a girl or a woman, think of a visually impaired girl who has to manage her periods every month. Realising that menstruation is still such a taboo subject in Indian society along with the many restrictions which a girl has to face due to age – old myths, Sadhvi Thukral, a Delhi based designer decided to work in the field of providing information about menstruation. During her research, while studying at the Pearl Academy of Fashion, New Delhi, Sadhvi found that there weren’t many sources of information available for visually impaired girls and therefore decided to work in this area. She designed a kit which could serve as library material and would be made available at Institutions specialized in the teaching and training of visual impaired girls. However, this kit is designed in such a way that parents can also purchase it for their daughters. The kit is divided into two parts. The first part has tactile diagrams along with text in Braille and in print. The second part has a life-sized, three-dimensional model for demonstration and training. It provides a holistic approach towards providing the basic essential information about menstruation to visually impaired girls. Parts of the content used in the Kit are an adaptation of TARSHI’s books on sexuality and reproductive health. The contents of the kit have been validated by the students of Saksham Daksh, Noida, India. ‘Kahani Her Mahine Ki’, as the name suggests, is a natural phenomena which reoccurs every month in most women. This kit covers the subject of menstruation and helps girls in the effective management of their periods. The kit comprises of: 1. Tactile diagrams and material in the form of Information Slides, with labels in Braille and in print of the different parts of the body. The Information Slates fit into a box with slides. 2. Each slate has text in Braille for the visually impaired and in text for those who are not. 3. It also contains a life-sized model of the human body for demonstration. The kit contains informative slides made out of plywood. Plywood is readily available in the local markets and can be constructed simply by a trained carpenter. It contains five slides. A user can easily take out the slides one by one in serial order, beginning from the top to the bottom. Each slide is labelled with numbers to make it easy for the user to put it back. These slides explain: • How to keep your private parts clean • Kinds of pads available • How to wear a pad • How to dispose a used pad and how to wear a tampon • How to dispose a used tampon • How to make and use reusable homemade sanitary options • How to wash reusable pads and pouches for pads • Suitable Panties The diagrams seen on the slides are made out of terracotta and paper mash. It is 100% sustainable and is made by local artisans. It is a great source of income and can be adapted and styled in accordance with any ethnicity, based on the kind of clay modelling or pottery style prominent in the area. It is also a rapidly degenerating craft and this is a sure-shot way of reviving it. The kit focuses on the bodily and hormonal changes in adolescent girls leading up to menstruation. It informs the reader about various products available in the market and even suggests home remedies for the same. A part of the training focuses on teaching the audience proper methods of usage and disposal of the products. Life-size Model: The life-size model is a replication of the lower torso of the female body complete with genitals made out of waste paper and silicon. A special mechanism has been worked out to demonstrate the real process of menstruation in the human body. Sadhvi Thukarl is a Delhi based designer. She worked on “Kahani Har Mahine ki” in association with Vikalp Design, the kit is documented by the Museum of Menstruation. This project also won the ‘Most Innovative Award’ at Openworks. Sadhvi is also looking for collaborations in taking this project further .

Rana Siddiqui Zaman “My family members don’t realise what I am doing on my own without their help. They only see what I don’t or cannot.

Today efforts are on to make people understand that visually-impaired people, if granted resources and encouragement, are no less than a person with normal vision. One such endeavour is Nazar Ya Nazariya , a new serial on Doordarshan aired every Saturday at 9.30 a.m., which highlights the achievements of visually-impaired people in different fields. Each episode is introduced by actor Naseeruddin Shah — who incidentally played a visually-impaired principal of a school in Sai Paranjpe’s critically acclaimed film Sparsh in 1980. Television actor Harsh Chhaya anchors the series. The serial will feature 32 case studies from across India. For example, a visually- and hearing-impaired dance group from Bijnour, a businessman in Guwahati, a theatre group in Kolkata, a national swimming champion, a journalist, a national level chess player and people in corporate and rural India. One episode showed how visually-impaired students have to drop science and math after Std. VIII. It featured two boys — Karthik Sahni from Kolkata who scored 96 per cent in these subjects and has been offered a Stanford scholarship, and Prateek Dutta who did cryptology from IIT Karakhpur and has been conferred the J.C Bose Award — and raised the question of whether the problem lay with the student’s capability or in the teaching. In other episodes, visually-impaired achievers talk of their lives or showcase their skills, while making viewers realise that they are leading normal lives. The serial was conceived of by George Abraham, Chief Executive Officer of Score Foundation, an NGO dedicated to finding resources for the visually-impaired. This is his debut production, in association with Sightsavers, an international charity that works to combat blindness in developing countries. “The idea is not to raise [awareness of] problems, because everyone knows about them. It is about making people change their inse nahi hoga (They can’t do it) attitude. It is about trying to show that blindness has lot of possibilities and if proper training is imparted, the blind can be utilised as the best human resources available,” asserts George. The serial will also suggest that the government policies ought to support the visually impaired. “We are not focusing on what they can’t do but on what they can. We are asking if the problem is one of nazar ya nazariya (lack of sight or lack of vision),” he adds A team of 10 people travelled across India and throughout, George says, they met curious people. Children were more interested in the “subjects” than the shooting and wanted to know if serial timings would clash with their school timings. Handling the team had its own issues. Transferring his sensibilities to the team was a challenge. For instance, “the camera would focus on the subjects’ eyes. I didn’t want that usual negative attitude throughout a 22-minute episode. So, I had to intervene to show them as normal human beings,” he recalls. George had conceived of the idea many years ago and even spoken to actor Shashi Kapoor about it but it didn’t take off. “After a talk with Tripurari Sharan, the Director General of Doordarshan, I posted the idea on Facebook and filmmaker Somu Ghosh contacted me.

Though the timing is not audience-friendly, George insists this slot has less competition, and he doesn’t have to contend with soap operas on prime time.

[AI] The Blind Driver Challenge, the Quest for the Salt, and the Continued
From the Braille Monitor, October 2013 The Blind Driver Challenge, the Quest for the Salt, and the Continued Journey of Innovation and Adventure by Mark A. Riccobono From the Editor: In a world where there is always more need than resource, an oft-repeated question we must address is how best to use our limited money and talent to advance the cause of blind people. Some argue for the bold and suggest we focus on those projects others dare not attempt; others suggest that, as long as the blind face so much poverty and unemployment, we should focus our efforts exclusively on improving education and rehabilitation. Acknowledging the arguments on both sides and those arguments that fall between, we strive to meet the needs of today while looking to the future we want to see for the blind. Mark Riccobono is the first blind person ever to drive a vehicle without sighted assistance in front of thousands at a public event. Here is his most recent experience, this time as an observer, as we try incrementally to tackle one of the most persistent barriers faced by the blind-transportation: [PHOTO CAPTION: Dan Parker and Mark Riccobono pose with the motorcycle that made Salt Flats history.] In 2011 we held the first public demonstration of technologies built under the Blind Driver Challenge (BDC) of the NFB. It took almost a decade of dreaming out loud, tolerating friendly nods by individuals who thought we were out of our minds, and overcoming our own uneasiness before we were able to secure partners to work with us on the vision for blind drivers that our president, Marc Maurer, laid out for us. When we finally had the breakthrough with bright partners who were prepared to go the distance with us, we knew we needed a place for the first demonstration that fit the significance of the moment. The famed Daytona International Speedway had the type of reputation equal to the challenge, and we prepared for a public demonstration that would help the rest of the world notice our capacity as blind people. Federationists came from all parts of the country to share the moment, even though some were still uncertain about the outcome and whether it was worth the sacrifice of resources that might be used for other important goals. As you know, at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, January 29, 2011, I jumped into our NFB Blind Driver Challenge car, gave a thumbs up, honked the horn, and drove 1.5 miles of the Daytona road course. People often ask me, What was it like to drive at Daytona? And I still have trouble describing it exactly. Until this week I never fully understood why. This article is partially a report on the progress of our Blind Driver Challenge initiative, partially the story of our second critical milestone in that effort, and partially an open reflection of why the Daytona question has been hard to answer. Since the Daytona demonstration we have continued to present our vision for the intersection of innovation, wherein blind people actively participate in building cutting-edge technologies side by side with the most creative inventors we can find. Sometimes we have discussed the next component needed to make blind driving a reality for all. At other times we have speculated about how our experience and perspective will intersect with the general direction of driving technology (both in the driverless car movement and within the traditional model of today's transportation systems). We have talked with universities, technology companies, designers, car companies, and hundreds of individuals whose perspective has been changed as a result of getting to know our blind driver work. Flying airplanes, riding bikes, and enhancing traditional navigation techniques are just some of the topics we have explored. While many ideas continue to get kicked around, some proposals slowly circulate, and an increasing number of important connections get made every month, there is not an immediate Daytona-like milestone identified in the immediate future. The true innovative nature of the Federation is that we are always seeking to expand the horizons of independence. It is our organizational readiness that allows us to quickly take advantage of the right strategic partners when they come. Enter Dan Parker-a sighted drag racer who hit a wall at 175 MPH on March 31, 2012, leaving him completely blind, along with other significant injuries. After eight months of recuperating and lying around not knowing what he could do as a blind person, Dan made up his mind. He had been riding motorcycles since he was eight, and he had extensive experience around, on, and in cars and motorcycles. He had always had a dream of racing at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. Dan decided that the way to overcome the fears and limitations he had associated with blindness was to pursue his quest for the

A user can easily take out the slides one by one in serial order, beginning from the top to the bottom. Each slide is labelled with numbers to make it easy for the user to put it back. These slides explain: • How to keep your private parts clean • Kinds of pads available • How to wear a pad • How to dispose a used pad and how to wear a tampon • How to dispose a used tampon • How to make and use reusable homemade sanitary options • How to wash reusable pads and pouches for pads • Suitable Panties The diagrams seen on the slides are made out of terracotta and paper mash.

[AI] 12 Five year plan: Rs 3, 000 Crore for new disability projects again
Dear policy analysts,,what do you say? Less then expected? sufficient?? implementation matters. We should delve deep in to analysing this earmarked.. Monday, 30 September 2013 | Jaya Shroff Bhalla | New Delhi http://www.dailypioneer.com/nation/rs-3000-cr-for-new-disability-projects-again.html While projects worth Rs 1800-crore in the 11th Five-Year Plan meant for the welfare of the physically challenged have not been started yet, the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment (SJE) has yet again earmarked Rs 3000-crore for new disability projects. SJE Minister Kumari Selja who reviewed the implementation of the People with Disabilities Act with State Commissioners earlier this year, admitted to the delays. “The Twelfth Five-Year Plan, which earmarks a total allocation to the tune of Rs 3,000 crore, will see a number of ambitious initiatives being implemented. These include setting up of a National Centre for Universal Design, Indian Sign Language Research and Training Centre (ISLRTC) and Braille printing presses across India,” said Selja addressing a meeting of State Disabilities Commissioners. “We will also harmonise all the relevant domestic laws (including mainstream laws) and policies with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD),” she said. However, the ground situation remains rather grim. Most of these incomplete projects — like the Right to Education for the disabled, which has been a long-standing demand of the physically challenged community — still remain in limbo. The task force constituted by the Ministry in 2010, to work out the details for the establishment of the proposed National Centre for Universal Design - to make the physical and academic environment disabled-friendly. Headed by Samir K. Brahmachari, Director General, Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, taskforce submitted its report in 2011, but the Ministry did not act in three years. The partnership project of MSJE and Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) of setting up Indian Sign Language Research and Training Center (ISLRTC) in 2011 has also been shelved. A project worth Rs 44-crore could have helped at least 2500 deaf persons in opting for professional studies. In two years, except for laying the foundation stone, there has been no progress. The Ministry took up the matter with IGNOU authorities in April, but to no avail. Most Braille printing presses across the State are also dying a slow death because of outdated machinery and technology. An example being: the Malakpet Press - the only Braille printing press in Andhra Pradesh set-up in 1986 for producing textual learning material for the visually impaired — hasn’t been upgraded. The visually-challenged workers — who are facing job losses launched an online campaign called the savebraillepress.blogspot.com. While the Centre is promising to create new Braille presses, some like Malakpet are dying for want of moderisation. “We know that there has been a delay and that is why this department of disability was carved out by MSJE in July 2012 to look into the gaps,” said a senior official from MSJE. “While the concept note for Institute of Universal Design is ready and we are waiting to give it a physical shape, the other projects will take some time to take off,” said the official. The official who was speaking to The Pioneer exclusively said that due to troubled waters with the IGNOU VC, the ISLRTC, the institute for the deaf and mute has almost been scrapped. “We had given the Rs 16 crore as an initial payment for the project, which we are trying to retract. There after, the Ministry is planning to open an independent institute.” “After much noise by the disabled activists, funds were sanctioned by the Ministry in the 11th plan but in five years nothing came up. The Sign Language Centre was also mostly eye washed,” said Javed Abidi, convenor, Disabled Rights Group. “We have been hearing of the Universal Design Centre coming up every year but nothing much has moved,” he said. “Money to the tune of several hundred crores was sanctioned for projects but has remained unutilised. This is in blatant violation of the disabled persons Right to Education,” said Anjlee Agarwal, director, NGO Samarthyam, who was also part of the task force for Universal Design Centre. “Right to quality education is every person’s prerogative. Under the RTE, disabled should be included with the mainstream, but without Braille language books for the blind, and sign language interpreters for the deaf, quality education remains elusive to the challenged,” she said. Agarwal said that the Government should act soon if it does not want another generation of disabled to remain unemployed, socially aloof and academically handicapped. Even Sminu Jindal, from Swayam, an NGO working for disabled said, “While enhanced reservations in education and jobs are welcome but unless the Government makes physical and academic infrastructure accessible, all this seems a

Re: [AI] Why is there sign in the mailing list (Ajay)
Hello An original mail will not have those signs. However, if it is a forward or response to a chain of mail on the topic, you will get the greater sign. This is to signal the text is used for reference. This is very important and hence it is appended to the text by email clients. There are programs like mailwasher which will clean out his symbols.

[AI] M-Indicator: Implementing accessibility can help make a difference
M-Indicator: Implementing accessibility can help make a difference The second one in App a Month blog series by BarrierBreak to talk about Mobile App Accessibility! This time Bhavesh, who is blind chose to review one of the most popular travelling apps the M-indicator. He shares his experience below. Why M-Indicator? Every day I travel from Vikhroli to Goregaon to come to office and vice versa. Sighted people can see the indicator as soon as they reach the railway station. However for me, this app is very useful, as I can check the time table of the trains or buses in real time, whenever I need without sighted assistance. This app also helps me to check which buses arrive on a particular bus stop wherever I happen to be. This is very helpful when there are no people nearby whom I can ask about the timings and do not have to be dependent on someone for the train or bus details. M-Indicator with Talkback The app was reviewed for accessibility on the stock android, running Jellybean 4.3 OS, on the Google nexus 7 tablet. The app was tested using Talkback, a free screen reader available for android platform, which enables the visually impaired users access the android devices based on spoken descriptions. Features of the app The following are some key features that this app offers: Railway: Checking the railway time table for the trains across Mumbai, View Indicator Symbols used to indicate station names on the railway station indicator, Railway ticket fare etc. Get quick updates on rickshaws and taxi fares per KM, so that you know how much to pay while traveling. Bus: includes buses arriving at particular bus stop, Search buses between source and destination. View category wise list of picnic spots e.g. Beaches, Hill stations, Waterfalls, Caves etc. Note: at this point, the talkback screen reader does not support the auto complete feature in the case of apps. The auto complete feature is where you enter data in an input field, and the list of suggestions gets populated. So lets get on with the review. My experience Railway When I launch the app for the first time, the talkback screen reader read the advertisements which appear on most of the screens, followed by the list of features such as Railway, Bus etc. However it did not announce the element type such as link or button for each item that is present on the screen. The screen reader also did not announce the Hints to activate the element. Hints are descriptions which are provided specifically for screen reader users; that include information about gestures that required to be used to interact with an element. I did some guess work and double tapped on Railway to see whether it opens another screen, and it worked! The app loaded You are at screen of the railway section. I noticed that first Talkback screen reader announced Button for some buttons, followed by Home 1#8243;, Home 2#8243; and so on. When I asked a sighted friend who was next to me, he told me that visually the information was laid out differently for sighted users. Actually the screen was divided in to 2 rows, and the buttons correspond to Home 1#8243; and Home 2#8243;, and Office 1#8243; and Office 2#8243; icons respectively on the screen which was very confusing. When I activated the first button, a pop-up was displayed containing the instruction to click on * icon to make a bookmark for home and another * icon to make it a bookmark for office. However this instruction went over my head like a bouncer goes over the batsmans head in a cricket match. In other words the instruction did not specify the necessary steps to achieve the same. After reading the instruction from the pop-up, I search for OK button or Close button for the pop-up to close. However the same was not present on the screen. Next, from the You are at screen of the railway section I tapped on W for western railway (Again through guess work!) as the same was not announced as a button. On the activated screen, I had to select the direction I needed to go. Again the information was laid out differently for sighted users. Screen reader announced Churchgate followed by Button, and then a Button followed by Dahanu road. This was frustrating! Once I selected the direction, the list of trains was displayed. A good thing to note here is that the screen reader read the list of available trains, including their expected timings. I could select the train I need to catch and know the list of stations it halts at. Next I accessed the Ticket fare screen of the same section. But I could not enter the source and destination in the respective input fields. I had to manually select the stations displayed after activating the unlabeled buttons besides Source and Destination input fields respectively to get the ticket fare. The rail map was displayed using images that lacked alternate textual description, due to which I could not access the information that was conveyed using the

Hi There is another alternate app which is again for Mumbai. i.e. smartshehar.com We ran a demo of this app at BGFI sometime back and was shared at AccessIndia. The maker of this app is sensitive and aware of accessibility requirements and they have adapted accordingly. Do try this out and give them the feedback. You are sure to get positive results for it.

This time Bhavesh, who is blind chose to review one of the most popular travelling apps - the 'M-indicator'. He shares his experience below. Why M-Indicator? Every day I travel from Vikhroli to Goregaon to come to office and vice versa. Sighted people can see the indicator as soon as they reach the railway station. However for me, this app is very useful, as I can check the time table of the trains or buses in real time, whenever I need without sighted assistance. This app also helps me to check which buses arrive on a particular bus stop wherever I happen to be. This is very helpful when there are no people nearby whom I can ask about the timings and do not have to be dependent on someone for the train or bus details. M-Indicator with Talkback The app was reviewed for accessibility on the stock android, running Jellybean 4.3 OS, on the Google nexus 7 tablet. The app was tested using Talkback, a free screen reader available for android platform, which enables the visually impaired users access the android devices based on spoken descriptions. Features of the app The following are some key features that this app offers: Railway: Checking the railway time table for the trains across Mumbai, View Indicator Symbols used to indicate station names on the railway station indicator, Railway ticket fare etc. Get quick updates on rickshaws and taxi fares per KM, so that you know how much to pay while traveling. Bus: includes buses arriving at particular bus stop, Search buses between source and destination. View category wise list of picnic spots e.g. Beaches, Hill stations, Waterfalls, Caves etc. Note: at this point, the talkback screen reader does not support the auto complete feature in the case of apps. The auto complete feature is where you enter data in an input field, and the list of suggestions gets populated. So let's get on with the review. My experience Railway When I launch the app for the first time, the talkback screen reader read the advertisements which appear on most of the screens, followed by the list of features such as Railway, Bus etc. However it did not announce the element type such as link or button for each item that is present on the screen. The screen reader also did not announce the Hints to activate the element. Hints are descriptions which are provided specifically for screen reader users; that include information about gestures that required to be used to interact with an element. I did some guess work and double tapped on Railway to see whether it opens another screen, and it worked! The app loaded You are at screen of the railway section. I noticed that first Talkback screen reader announced Button for some buttons, followed by Home 1#8243;, Home 2#8243; and so on. When I asked a sighted friend who was next to me, he told me that visually the information was laid out differently for sighted users. Actually the screen was divided in to 2 rows, and the buttons correspond to Home 1#8243; and Home 2#8243;, and Office 1#8243; and Office 2#8243; icons respectively on the screen which was very confusing. When I activated the first button, a pop-up was displayed containing the instruction to click on * icon to make a bookmark for home and another * icon to make it a bookmark for office. However this instruction went over my head like a bouncer goes over the batsman's head in a cricket match. In other words the instruction did not specify the necessary steps to achieve the same. After reading the instruction from the pop-up, I search for OK button or Close button for the pop-up to close. However the same was not present on the screen. Next, from the You are at screen of the railway section I tapped on W for western railway (Again through guess work!) as the same was not announced as a button. On the activated screen, I had to select the direction I needed to go. Again the information was laid out differently for sighted users. Screen reader announced Churchgate followed by Button, and then a Button followed by Dahanu road. This was frustrating! Once I selected the direction, the list of trains was displayed. A good thing to note here is that the screen reader read the

Re: [AI] Vidio intercept
Video intercept manager is the special video driver which Jaws requires for its proper operation. Normally you don't have to install it as jaws package contains it and configures it during installation. Still at times there is some kind of conflict with the graphics driver and in that case you have to install it separately. You can download the video intercept manager for 64 bit version from here: ftp://ftp.freedomscientific.com/users/hj/private/WebFiles/Tools/FSVideoIntercept-64bit.exe With best Regards, Amiyo Biswas Cell: +91-9433464329 - Original Message - From: Siddharthkumar Keshri siddhk...@gmail.com To: accessindia accessindia@accessindia.org.in Sent: Monday, September 30, 2013 4:44 PM Subject: [AI] Vidio intercept Dear Friends,I have 3 questions.
