Re: [AI] Centre no more blind to visually impaired, funds books in Braille
Being Braille interface developer for an assistive technology company, I got to use around 8 Braille devices. There are 2 types of devices that are used to work with Braille. One is known as Braille Display or Braille Line or Braille Panel. This device can connect with computer via USB or can connect via mobile phone or computer via Bluetooth. A Braille Display does not have any internal storage and is driven by the external devices such as a mobile phone or computer. Such devices come with or without input keys. If there are any input keys, there are usually 9 keys. One is a space key and others are 8 keys for entering 8 dot computer Braille. Another is a Braille note. This device in addition to a Braille display also has internal storage and a few apps such as email, word processor, browser, notepad, calculator and so on. Such devices are sort of PDAs. These devices are very expensive. They could cost in the range of Rs. 70K to Rs. 5 Lakhs depending on the number of Braille cells and features. The number of Braille cells are in the range of 12 to 80. 12 to 20 cell devices are good to work with mobile phones.

Re: [AI] Disabled people are God's mistake, says Goa CM Parsekar
This is laughable, makes you think what to expect from present day rulers? Think how to get stake in decision making, that is main streaming. Thanks -original message- Subject: [AI] Disabled people are God's mistake, says Goa CM Parsekar From: Vikas Kapoor dl.vi...@gmail.com Date: 22-01-2015 8.10 am Disabled people are God's mistake, says Goa CM Parsekar Goa chief minister Laxmikant Parsekar on Wednesday said some people are born with disabilities due to the mistake and negligence committed by God. There are some brothers and sisters in the society, who are born with certain disabilities. God forgets to give them certain things. That is negligence on the part of God and for that the child has to suffer for entire life, Parsekar said. Therefore, NGOs like Disability Rights Association of Goa (DRAG) have come into existence. The thing which God could not do, they are doing. They are rectifying the mistake committed by God. I would say NGOs' work is more than that of God, he added. The chief minister was speaking at the inauguration of 'We Care Film Festival' on disability issues organised by DRAG at Margao town around 35 kms from Panaji Wednesday morning. However, after the event, DRAG condemned chief minister's remarks, stating that the disabled were born to show the power of God. CM Parskear, while speaking at the inauguration of 'We Care Film Festival' on disability at Chowgule college, Margao has said disabled people are mistake of God and NGOs are doing yeoman service by serving the disabled in rectifying God's mistake, DRAG chief Avelino D'Sa said in a statement in Panaji. DRAG strongly objects to this statement and clarified that if God has created a person disabled it is to show people the power of God. Disabled people have more strength and will power and they are differently-abled, hence they are stronger than the normal people, he added. Parsekar's comments came at a time when his cabinet colleague Ramesh Tawadkar had courted a controversy last week when he said that the state would set up centres to make LGBT people normal. The minister had retracted his statement after widespread criticism. http://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/disabled-people-are-god-s-mistake-says-goa-cm-parsekar/article1-1309376.aspx Vikas Kapoor, Mobile: (+91) 9891098137, 9013354994 Skype Id: dl_vikas Register at the dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobile phones / Tabs on: http://mail.accessindia.org.in/mailman/listinfo/mobile.accessindia_accessindia.org.in 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] Disabled people are God's mistake, says Goa CM Parsekar
Well, if theism is accepted, which most of the people do, and I don't, then what is wrong in admitting that god can commit mistakes and negligence? Perhaps, theism does not admit of any such possibility on the part of the omnipotent. But it is too much to assert that disabled people are created to show god's power! -Original Message- From: AccessIndia [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of Vikas Kapoor Sent: Thursday, January 22, 2015 8:10 AM To: AccessIndia: a list for discussing accessibility and issuesconcerning the disabled. Subject: [AI] Disabled people are God's mistake, says Goa CM Parsekar Disabled people are God's mistake, says Goa CM Parsekar Goa chief minister Laxmikant Parsekar on Wednesday said some people are born with disabilities due to the mistake and negligence committed by God. There are some brothers and sisters in the society, who are born with certain disabilities. God forgets to give them certain things. That is negligence on the part of God and for that the child has to suffer for entire life, Parsekar said. Therefore, NGOs like Disability Rights Association of Goa (DRAG) have come into existence. The thing which God could not do, they are doing. They are rectifying the mistake committed by God. I would say NGOs' work is more than that of God, he added. The chief minister was speaking at the inauguration of 'We Care Film Festival' on disability issues organised by DRAG at Margao town around 35 kms from Panaji Wednesday morning. However, after the event, DRAG condemned chief minister's remarks, stating that the disabled were born to show the power of God. CM Parskear, while speaking at the inauguration of 'We Care Film Festival' on disability at Chowgule college, Margao has said disabled people are mistake of God and NGOs are doing yeoman service by serving the disabled in rectifying God's mistake, DRAG chief Avelino D'Sa said in a statement in Panaji. DRAG strongly objects to this statement and clarified that if God has created a person disabled it is to show people the power of God. Disabled people have more strength and will power and they are differently-abled, hence they are stronger than the normal people, he added. Parsekar's comments came at a time when his cabinet colleague Ramesh Tawadkar had courted a controversy last week when he said that the state would set up centres to make LGBT people normal. The minister had retracted his statement after widespread criticism. http://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/disabled-people-are-god-s-mistake-says-goa-cm-parsekar/article1-1309376.aspx Vikas Kapoor, Mobile: (+91) 9891098137, 9013354994 Skype Id: dl_vikas Register at the dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobile phones / Tabs on: http://mail.accessindia.org.in/mailman/listinfo/mobile.accessindia_accessindia.org.in 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] Centre no more blind to visually impaired, funds books in Braille
The space bar comes very handy when we are typing on the Braille display. We can type in a computer or a mobile with the help of Braille keyboard. When you are typing on a Braille keyboard, you wouldn't want to go to your computer just to press space. Space bar is also used as a modifier key i.e. it can combine with other keys to issue commands. These commands are screen reader specific. An example of a command could be space bar + dot 1 and dot 4 to copy text, as dot 1 and 4 are character c in Braille. Similarly space + dot 1, dot 4 and dot 5, Braille d, is usually a command to report date / time.

[AI] The Role and Value of the Teacher of the Visually Impaired with Marla Runyan.(courtesy perkins)
CHAPTER 1: Introduction The Role and Value of the Teacher of the Visually Impaired with Marla Runyan. RUNYAN: When I turned nine years old and the first day of school in the fourth grade I went into my classroom and sat down at my desk, and the teacher started writing on the chalkboard, and I looked up and I couldn't see what she was writing. In fact it didn't look like there was anything there or it was like a couple of dashed lines. And I thought, What's wrong with her chalk? And it never occurred to me that there was something wrong with my vision. The deterioration in my retinas occurred very slowly over the summer, and I was pretty active outside and so I wasn't doing a lot of reading or detailed tasks. That was the first time I began to experience having a vision impairment. What I didn't know is that my acuity had already fallen to 2,200, which is the level of legal blindness. And it wasn't very long after that first day of school that I could no longer see my textbooks in school or worksheets, chalkboard, overhead projectors, all that stuff. Basically almost all print became unaccessible at that point. NARRATOR: A school photograph of Marla Runyan at about age nine is shown. She wears a purple shirt with a line of embroidered flowers down the front. RUNYAN: Initially, in my home school district there were no services. And this is going back to the late '70s. The laws were brand new in terms of least restrictive environment and I ended up changing districts. And by the time I was middle school, and that was the first time... by the time I reached sixth grade, that was the very first time in my life I actually had a teacher for the visually impaired supporting me in my academics. I had a... I was in a mainstream sixth grade classroom, and for one hour a day I would go to the VI resource room where my TVI made sure that I had all of my materials accessible, would help me get caught up on schoolwork because I was very slow. What was really important for me was that that I had a person, I had a teacher in my life who understood what it was like to be visually impaired. And that in itself was so personally significant that it was like when you are the only student in a school of hundreds or even thousands, where you were the only one who is visually impaired, or there's only a few other students who are, you feel that you are misunderstood or that no one understands what it's like. And then to have this teacher in your life who not only is there to help support you academically, but is someone who understands what you're going through, and, in a way, it's a comfort and it's that time to just be myself and not feel like I have to pretend I can see, I can just be myself. And that was really -- the role that that teacher played in my life for the three years in middle school, he had a very significant role in my life. CHAPTER 2: The Impact of Visual Impairment on Incidental Learning RUNYAN: What people don't realize is how much knowledge about the world that a child, a fully sighted child brings to the kindergarten grade level when they first enter school -- what they've learned just through visual observation of their world. They've watched their mom or dad make dinner. They've watched the routines of the day in their home. They've traveled, they've seen, they've witnessed and learned through that visual observation so many things, including social skills, including communication skills and language skills, and it goes on and on. A young boy who is blind is being taught how to set the table for lunch. NARRATOR: In a photograph, a young boy who is blind is being taught how to set the table for lunch. A teacher watches as the boy places a green plastic plate on the table. This is an example of a task that a child who is sighted would encounter through incidental learning, something that must be specifically taught to a child who is blind or visually impaired. RUNYAN: Then you have to think about how that information plays a r So there's all these little pieces of missing information that the TVI understands that that's going to impact that child's learning. And so that's why that TVI is so crucial is coming in and being able to spend direct service time with that student and figuring out does this student have all the conceptual background knowledge to understand this list of spelling words? Does this student have all the background knowledge to understand this story that's taking place in another country when she's never seen a map? She doesn't know the shape of the country or what the world looks like. So we come in and we say, as a TVI, you're looking at what knowledge and what foundational concepts might be missing or lacking for this student that's going to impact her success in the classroom. And that's such a significant role that I think many other educators or administrators overlook that it's not just t Marla working with a teenaged boy who is blind on some concepts in science. NARRATOR: We see in

[AI] T-20 blind cricket series between Kerala and Karnataka
T-20 BLIND CRICKET SERIES BETWEEN KERALA KARNATAKA ON 24th 25th JANUARY 2015 AT ST. JOSEPH COLLEGE DEVAGIRI GROUND KOZHIKODE, KERALA: Cricket Association for Blind in Kerala (CABK) (Vision Through Cricket), an affiliated body of Cricket Association for Blind in India (CABI), is the Association to prop up, promote and propagate cricket for blind in Kerala. As part of its cricketing activities, after the successful organization of Kerala vs Tamilnadu T20 series, CABK is organising an interstate T-20 blind cricket series between Kerala and Karnataka which will be taken place on 24th and 25th January 2015 at St. Joseph College Devagiri Ground Kozhikod. The series will be inaugurated by Mr. Kamal Varadoor, the renowned Sports reporter. Honourable Member of Parliament Shri. MK Rakhavan has given consent to honour the players in the world cup winning Indian squad in a special function organized at 6pm on 24th Saturday. In this series also, ChricHQ (our technology partner) will give live update. The anthroid app for this site is available in play store. Another important feature of this series is that apart from regular prize mony there will be a player of the tournament award and the prize is a Tab sponsored by Cric HQ. 8 Indian team members including the Captain of Indian team, who have recently brought the Blind Cricket World Cup to India, will participate in this series.

Dear Listers: Please go through the latest alerts from Eyeway: A Danish team has developed a new iPhone app that lets sighted people help the visually challenged whenever they need it. Called Be My Eyes, the app connects the sighted with the visually challenged using video chat. The app takes advantage of an iPhone feature called VoiceOver, which lets the visually challenged use the device with the help of synthetic speech. The visually impaired may get help from the sighted for tasks like checking the expiry date on a carton of milk or crossing a street.

[AI] Imagica by BGFI was fantastic
Hey guys, We 50 of us, both VIs and sighted visited arguably the best amusing park in Asia; Adlabs Imagica last Sunday under the banner of BGFI- Blind Graduates Forum of India. I collected some of best memories from there. Like, experience 90 degrees fall, absolutely breath taking simulations, and of course company of few humorous people in our group. My sub group made the most of it as we kept repeating our exciting rides on Nitro, D2, Screaming machine, Deep space and Robosaurus River. Few of simulation theme parks were just so memorable, I dreamt of them in my sleep the same night like those of Salimgarh, Wrathofgods, Mr. India, and the best was I for India. I hope people when making an itinerary to Mumbai also includes Imagica in their list)) Lastly, thank you BGFI for organising such a smooth event which made it a memorable day... -- *** I am only one, but I am one.

Re: [AI] Centre no more blind to visually impaired, funds books in Braille
Yes, there are some devices which can display one or two lines at a time. These devices are very handy and also are very easy to use. There are six keys which can be used to key in the text input like we type in brailler. There is no need of papers if such devices can be made available for the school students. They can take notes very easily and without disturbing anybody. I just forgot the name of the device. But the device is very useful for all those who wish to make braille their first choice. -Original Message- From: AccessIndia [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of Dinesh Kaushal Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2015 1:04 PM To: AccessIndia: a list for discussing accessibility and issues concerning the disabled. Subject: Re: [AI] Centre no more blind to visually impaired, funds books in Braille Yes, even I used to believe that one must learn Braille at least during primary school, but many children who are tech savvy are proving that it is not necessary. Adults talking about the need for blind children without knowing their perspective is similar to sighted people talking about the needs of persons with blindness without knowing what they think about it. Similarly, many sighted people who thought that they cannot do without physical books are now switching to kindles and the likes. Sooner or later, all paper books be it Braille or print, are going to be extinct, so we would have to focus on electronic Braille. So if we really want to preserve Braille, then we need to focus on making electronic books readable and affordable with Braille devices rather than printing braille books in paper, because paper books are bulky, expensive(Braille books cost a lot if subsidy is considered), and making 50 lakhs books available in Braille seems impossible even for the richest countries in the world. On another note, printing Braille books is also environmentally detrimental. My main problem with such announcements is that mainstream media does not realize that there is something known as assistive technology, so for anyone who wants to be seen doing good work for the blind is compelled to use Braille as a symbolic gesture. Imagine a debate in the government office about whether to work on electronic books or on Braille books.

Yes! absolutely ! none can reject, at least, those, who had learn braille from their childhood, that, braille is like a paper pencil, but, now-a-days, I am very sad to say that, we get braille books with a bunch of mistakes. It is true, that various NGOs are providing braille books, but, they use a very out dated machines to make it, so, how can students develop their spellings? Dear Ved Prakash Sir, what is the price of that machine? Can you throw some light on it? Please!

Re: [AI] Centre no more blind to visually impaired, funds books in Braille
No. You cannot say like that, I know, many times it happend, that, we get so many increased, or decreased dots on one paper, , when we complain about it to them, they simply say, that, it happends just because of machine, means, printer. Some small magzines are not going for proof,those just come in front of us with a bunch of mistakes.

I haven't much knowledge about them, but they are very expensive, I think a lakh rupees? I may be absolutely wrong, but thats what I have heard. Search the very recent AI archives for information on the development of a low cost Braille printer as well. Thanks. I hope some other tech savey person having more experience with electronic Braille may be able to throw light on refreshable Braille displays and Braille printers/embossers.
