Sakshi, informative reply.
But I couldn't understand one thing in case the pages of the book are
a4 size. You told first to scan the left side pages, and then right
side pages. How is it possible? how can I make sure that lex is not
covering some portion of right side page of the book while taking
snaps of left page? specially when the book can not be bent in such a
manner that only one page is exposed at a time to the LexCam  area.
I have been scanning through lexCam but I dropped it, just because of
this reason, as I couldn't scan the books those are bigger in size.
and most of the time you don't have any idea that the page is being
covered by scanning area.
@Rajesh, lexCam cost approx. 35,000.

Hello,
1. If the book is small in size A5, then both the pages can be scanned in a
single snapshot. Enable multiple scanning command "Shift + Enter". Keep on
turning the pages and they will be scanned and recognized.

Keep the "single column recognition" off. Command is "Shift+S".
Keep the "split book page" command ON. It will automatically split the two
pages command is "Shift+B"

If you by mistake by keeping a setting enabled/disabled which is not
required, no need to worry. After the book is scanned Press "Ctrl+E" it will
list all the pages scanned. Then you can enable/disable any command you want
and then you can again recognize all the pages with the required settings.

2. Book size is A4
First scan all the left side pages of the book. Then scan all the right side
pages of the book. Then save the file by pressing CTRL+S

NUMBER OF left PAGES should be equal to number of right pages.

PRESS CTRL+E, press "select all" and then press 'collate odd/even'.

Pages would be arranged in order.

As you mention Opra browser and Oracle platform means it is web
application which might be developed in Oracle application design
framework(Oracle ADF). It might provide good level of accessibility to
screen readers as Oracle ADF consider accessibility of user interfaces
for screen reader and screen magnifier users. Please check with screen
readers.

Re: [AI] Sub: Stern Action Sought Against The UGC for violating the Office Memorandum Issued by the Government of India for Conducting Examination for Persons with Disabilities

2015-07-02 Thread avinash shahi
Nop,that's a way to give in.

They don't want us as IAS. They don't want us as Vice-Chancellors.
What to do then? carry on struggle. Study and struggle... We'll have
to be united and will have to compel them to follow the laws of the
land. Our scattered political stands bolster these officials nefarious
aims; that's why disability sector is prone to divide and rule as we
witnessed during the movement against the ill-conceived RPD Bill 2014.
At least blind sector should think seriously on such issues cause we
are the tiny minority who are at the government's microscope and radar
all the time. Frankly speaking,we are enough fortunatt to have valued
degrees in our hands and could hope for employment anytime. However
our approach should be based on the vision that the poorest of poor
blind should not suffer due to our complicity and compromise.
Unfortunately our sector is far going in the opposite direction.

Even I want that these rules/guidelines be implemented in their true
sence. Even I have been victim of  their excessive attitude many
times. I have faced the similar issue in three different states. Once
I was appearing in Uttar Pradesh higher education commission exam, the
examination in-charge allowed me the scribe after 20 minutes of
altercation. He submitted that along with the limited educational
qualification of the scribe (that was class 12) there should also be
the age restriction  of the scribe.
These people will never understand our problem, that's why I argue
that in stead of claiming total freedom in respect of the scribe, we
should claim something to which they could agree.

Whatever happened with you is very disturbing and speaks volumes about
the mindset of the non-disabled policy-makers/exicuters. However, that
should not deter us from losing faith in the judicial system. We have
sufficient ground to take UGC to Court. Lets see what happens. I know
Babus deploy one or the other ploys to scuttle the real intent of the
law. We have limited option. NGOs don't organize mass-movements on the
issues faced by students pursuing higher education. Lets university
students get united and take the fight forward.

 and regarding to which font the character belongs, it is determined by

  If the active application has a font choosing option, computer
 remembers what letter you typed and in which font too.

 Just some one recognizes you by your face or your voice and he/she
 also know in which dress you are.

 Regarding to capital and small, they have different code number. For
 example 66 is the code number of capital B and 98 is the code number
 of small b.
 Easy to recognize, is not it?

Re: [AI] Oracle's accessibility

2015-07-02 Thread Him Prasad Gautam
hi,
Oracle  is a multilateral application.
From accessibility perspective, the nature of work is less concern but
the  nature of the built system governs the outcome.
When talking about oracle, it must be clear that there are two major segments.
1. The front in.
2. The back in.
In case of the second segment, there is no major issue of accessibility.
Generally, depending on the work nature and the user's account
protocol;  the back in system may or may not be access by a user.
But the front in interface is the matter of prime concern.
Every user works in the front in face. The accessibility of front in
interface depends in which system it is built.
In one case, the front in may be built in oracle itself, and in
another case it may have been developed in another application.
Since a user always works in the front in face, In different system
built context, The accessibility may not the same.
For example, If the front in system programer has assign graphical
object defining certain controls, there will be no accessibility and
if the interface is designed differently, the result of accessibility
may be otherwise.
So the accessibility of a system is development tool dependent rather
than to understand it as an  independent entity.

Re: [AI] Sub: Stern Action Sought Against The UGC for violating the Office Memorandum Issued by the Government of India for Conducting Examination for Persons with Disabilities

2015-07-02 Thread pankaj Singh kushwaha
after reading the debate,  it has been emerged that there are some
people who want lot of restriction on the  scribe and other
facilities. but they are not concern that we shoulc achieve a equal
condition like others.  this is completely arbitrary that  the
candidates has to produce writer along with certificate to the
examination centre. why, the guys who are advocating for
institutional restriction are not  advising to the institututes like
CBSE to take cross checking after the exam and produce a data why many
condates were appeared in thi this exam and  they used this type of
writers. this  provision will  do two thinks, first, it shall disclose
that who has used which type of writers and how the  institutions have
provided? because these few persons are so concern about malpractices
rather than implementation.
second thing which I want to say on this place, during the exam
period, the students without disability are getting good environment
while the blind candidates are facing lot oftrouble likeroom facility,
proper place to sit, question paper on time, etc. as ahppend in my
case, I got question paper after 10 minutes, when, I expressed my
anger they sai I forgot. finally, according to me, this is
challengeable that the blind candidate must visit examination centre

[AI] About Project Starfish

2015-07-02 Thread Anandhi Viswanathan
Hi All,

What is Project Starfish and How can It Empower you?

Project Starfish is a visionary socio-economic business model that
enables blind and disabled professionals to learn, earn, augment
resume , gain contemporary work experience and become employable. In
short, its an experiential  platform where professionals learn, apply,
gain work experience, earn money, and understand how to work in an
office environment so they become employable and gain economic
independence. Project Starfish acts as a catalyst, where it breaks the
cycle in which many disabled individuals find themselves, “I need
experience to get a job, but I can’t get a job without experience.”
Project Starfish members work virtually, and can work with businesses
globally thus creating more opportunities, removing barriers of
geography, race, religion, color, disability etc. Its a business model
that creates business impact and social impact at the same time.

What’s our mission?

The aim is to create a professional empowerment platform for
blind/disabled unemployed professionals to gain work experience,
advocate their capability and foster relationship with business and
industry to create a highly employable workforce. Project Starfish
does not employ anyone, and is not an employment agency.

What we do and how we do it?

1.  Recruit: We work with state governments, private VR agencies to
identify and select candidates through our proven 3 step interview
process.
2.  Train: We train professionals on contemporary work that is needed
in a digital economy. Examples are Business Research and analysis,
social media, operations, project management, appointment setting etc.

It is quite likely that he may suffer if he is given a writer from
arts/commerce. It is advisable to go with a writer from science stream.

Subject: [AI] Class 12 exam: Scribe issue

Hi,

 

Just received a call from a parent of a boy who is preparing for his 12th
CBSE boards in March 2016. He is in the science stream and is anxious if he
has to use a scribe from a non science stream. His apprehension is that his
scribe will not understand the various signs and equations that he might
need to dictate.

 

Would like to know from our learned friends on the group whether  it is ok
to go for the exam with a non science stream scribe  or is the fears of the
parent real?

2015-07-02 Thread pankaj Singh kushwaha
Dear George sir,  thankyou for sharing this concern. as for my
knowledge is concern, the boy who is preparing for twelth class can
use any writer without worrying about education, age and streme of
writer.   as we are aware  that the CBSE has implemented CCPD
guideline, where there is no criteria for writer except vigilance. so
that you can advise him to visit examination centre or concern
authority with CCPD guideline for getting permition for writer. even,
permition is not required, as I collected information from a special
school in Dehli. but that is arts science school. if you need than I
can facilitate your contact with that school. thanks

Dear Listers:

Thanks for the responses. As per  suggestions mentioned in the below
email I've found out the facts:

The client told that he works on Oracle  platform and Opera  software.
As shared earlier, he is a Tech Support Executive in a hotel industry
and his job is to check financial as well as User Application
transactions. For instance, number of customers coming on a specific
date. Sometimes he has to modify the transactions as well. He is a low
vision person and will be able to work with magnifying screen. Which
magnifying software will be compatible with Oracle platform and Opera

Waiting for the favourable response!

[AI] REGARDING BANKING FACILITIES

2015-07-02 Thread yogesh dubey
Hello friends recently I have opened a bank account in panjaab
national bank in Meerut up. I had applied for check book and atm
facility. They denied me for check book there reason was that there
bank rools don’t allow check book facility to visually impaired
customers and regarding atm they told that they will not provide
normal atm to me instead they told me of somethink called biometric
atm witch they are not having in up. They have a shored me that they
will get it from Delhi but it will take few days. I have read the rbi
serculer witch says any kind of banking facility can not be denide to
vi customers. Now i want to know fiew thinks first is there any rool
that blind persons cannot get normal atm card. Second what can be done
if they are not ready to provide me these facilities after reading the
circular  I mean can I get some directions from rbi for that branch of
pnb our I should go to court.

Hi,



Just received a call from a parent of a boy who is preparing for his 12th
CBSE boards in March 2016. He is in the science stream and is anxious if he
has to use a scribe from a non science stream. His apprehension is that his
scribe will not understand the various signs and equations that he might
need to dictate.



Would like to know from our learned friends on the group whether  it is ok
to go for the exam with a non science stream scribe  or is the fears of the
parent real?

Dear George Sir,
Greetings!

The fear of parents is true. As you are aware that I am doing MBA, I
also faced similar fear before the exams. My sincere suggestion is
that the scribe must be from 11th class and of Science stream.

Please do convey my best wishes to the child.

Have a great evening!

Re: [AI] Sub: Stern Action Sought Against The UGC for violating the Office Memorandum Issued by the Government of India for Conducting Examination for Persons with Disabilities

2015-07-02 Thread Mohib Anwar Rafay
My observations and questions may look uncumfirtable to you, but this
is the reality when you enter into the court room. Perhaps you don't
have any idea how things work  on practical ground.
As I shared erlier on this mailing lis about my case, where I was
arbitrarily denyed to appear in UP Public Service Commission exam, as
I was not allowed to avail the services of the scribe because I am not
100% blind. I filed writ petition in Allahabad High Court, but I
didn't get instent relief, thereafter immideatly I filed an SLP in the
Supreme Court of india . In Supreme Court I mentioned of relevant
provision of MSJE guidelines, which provide that, the facility of the
scribe should be allowed to any person who has disability of 40% or
more.
But Supreme Court Judge didn't pay any attention to it, and dismissed my SLP.

You are putting your argument and looking the situation from your own
point of view. Do you think your case will be heard ex part? When you
will enter into the court, don't forget you'll have regular counsel
there as your opponents. Will they have no mind to counter your
arguments? And you don't have any idea which objection may be
sustained by the court.

My simple question is that why this provision was not challanged
itself when CBSE published the notification?

What ever scribe they are arranging whether over qualified or under
qualified, they have confidence in them. Mean their self satisfaction,
you might be getting what I am referring to.
Can you elaborate your point number 2, "When students agreed to appear
along with the scribes provided by
 the schools, why they were barred from appearing?"
What do you mean by agreed? there was no such agreement between that
candidate and the school, the rule is simple, if you want the writer
to be arranged by the school, you'll have to make a request in writing
before one week of the exam. Did the candidate in question submitted
any of such written request? If yes, why did she carry a scribe along
with her?
The problem you raised in your point number 3, is merely their
procedure which could be challanged either in the office of CCPD or in
the High Court. They can argue that it is to prevent any kind of
irregularity at the last minute of the examination. Would you like
them to put a condition like UPSC where you will have to give the
detail of your scribe at the filling the application form only?

The letter or communication forwarded by UGC which you are describing
as an order, is not order at all. Did this so called order contained
any of such words like all institution are directed to comply with
these guidelines?
Let me tell you, the office of CCPD has no directionery powers, Do you
think has it real teeth? Has this office power to punish for its
contempt? Can it issue writ of mandamus or writ of Certiorari? The big
answer is: No.

Please mention the name of the case where High Court took a view that
office of CCPD has binding powers.

Paper also provides an interesting example from the UK. Sexual needs
of the disabled are recognized in the British social policy. And the
phrase 'architecture of intimacy' is very thought-provoking in the

Re: [AI] Sub: Stern Action Sought Against The UGC for violating the Office Memorandum Issued by the Government of India for Conducting Examination for Persons with Disabilities

2015-07-02 Thread avinash shahi
You're right,last time We had to seek permission from the College of
vocational Studies. But this time, The UGC outsourced the
responsibility to the CBSE for the June examination and one was
directed to seek permission from his-her allotted Centre. And that
particular decision caused enormous hardships to the disabled
candidates.

I don't  know the reason why such irregularities in scribe conditions were 
prevalent. I appeared in the UGC NET in Dec. 2014 and no such condition was 
laid out. The only condition was to take prior permission for the scribe by 
producing his mark sheets/ certificate of the last exam passed along with 
photocopy of his identity card duly signed by him. I appeared in Delhi and I 
had to visit College of Vocational Studies, Shekhsarai for bringing my own

One has no problem in obtaining sanction for using the scribe. But why to visit 
day prior to the exam Centre along with the scribe? One of my friends studies 
in Jammu University has informed that his Exam Centre was 70 Kms from his 
villege. And he couldn't visit the Centre multiple times due to his poverty.

Re: [AI] Sexual professionalism: for whom? The case of sexual facilitation in Swedish personal assistance services

2015-07-02 Thread Vedprakash
The term "Sexual rights" in this article is note-worthy.
What do we mean by the term?
Is there a law that gives us the right to sexual act?
The answer is surely not.
In every society, males and females alike, need to grab the right to sexual act.
Most of the women use the tool of beauty to fulfil the desire of sex. Different 
decorating means, and other fashions, hairstyles, piercing of body parts etc 
are some of the other tools used for the purpose.
Men show off their masculinity through bulging muscles, broad shoulders, and of 
course a suitable attire.
Of course, some of the men use force to fulfil the desire of sex.
But in no case, this can be treated as a right available to all.
There are many common men and women who are unable to fulfil their desire. And 
the irony is the same as in case of the disabled. Sex is a taboo in most of the 
society. For normal people and for the disabled too.
If I need water, I can request for the same. Anybody would happily guide me to 
the place where water is available. But if I need a sex partner, it is 
difficult for me to express my desire in the same way. It applies to the 
disabled as well as the others.
As for the accessibility issues, it applies to all matters, why the sex only.

Subject: [AI] Sexual professionalism: for whom? The case of sexual facilitation 
in Swedish personal assistance services

Abstract
Sexuality is a taboo subject in disability services, leading to insecurity for 
both service users and personnel about how to handle upcoming situations. In 
Sweden, there is also a lack of policy in this area, highlighting the need to 
study sexuality both as an individual and a political, and in this case also, 
depoliticized issue. A critical feminist policy analysis reveals that norms 
around disability, sexuality and professionalism in a particular legal, 
political and cultural context strongly influence the willingness to recognize 
disabled people’s sexual rights. The Swedish case indicates a need for 
increased transnational work to develop ethical, professional and 
non-discriminatory rights-based approaches to sexual facilitation.

[AI] Census update: Census shows 68k disabled people are homeless

2015-07-02 Thread avinash shahi
 Over 68,400 disabled people in India do not have a roof over their
head while majority of them are found in urban areas, latest Census
figures reveal.

The figure might be a fraction of the 2.68 crore disabled persons in
the country, but activists say it could still be alarming as a sizable
chunk of women and children among the homeless are left exposed to
abuse. Disabled women alone account for 24,211 among the homeless.

They also warn that the figures could yet be incomplete since many may
have been missed out during the Census survey. Activists would like to
see the actions authorities would take, having identified the homeless
persons.

The official figures released on Tuesday also showed 43,509 or 68 per
cent homeless disabled persons lived in urban areas, 13, 637 of them
being women.

Many disabled homeless persons in urban areas live on pavements, large
pipes and below bridges, often falling through social schemes and
institutional help.

UP tops chart

Figures revealed Uttar Pradesh tops the chart for the homeless
disabled with 12,876 persons, 4,452 of whom are women. Maharashtra
(9,103), Andhra Pradesh (7,407) and West Bengal (6,503) also featured
in the list.

Karnataka has 2,486 homeless disabled out of which 935 are women,
while the national capital Delhi has 1,595 out of 2.34 lakh disabled
population in the list of homeless.

[AI] HT Editorial today: Differently-abled people don't recieve the dignity they deserve

2015-07-02 Thread avinash shahi
http://www.hindustantimes.com/comment/differently-abled-people-don-t-recieve-the-dignity-they-deserve/article1-1364973.aspx
India is Known to discriminate on the basis of caste, colour and
creed, the heart-rending plight of people like Rameshbhai Damar should
not occasion surprise.
























However, it’s still worth recounting the story of the 30-year-old, who
was rescued from Gujarat’s Mahisagar district on Tuesday after he was
chained by his family for 15 years because Mr Damar is mentally
unstable.

While it is inhuman to do such a thing, it would be equally wrong to
blame the family that was forced to do so in a country starved of
adequate medical and rehabilitation facilities for the likes of Mr
Damar or his family.

According to the 2011 Census, the country has 26.8 million
differently-abled people, constituting 2.21% of the population of 1.21
billion. According to the census, this means people suffering from
disability related to seeing, hearing, speech, movement, mental
retardation, mental illness etc.

Despite such a large number of people suffering from different levels
of disability, the country falls short when it comes to ensuring basic
facilities for them. Ask a physically-disabled person, and they will
tell you how difficult it is for them to navigate through Delhi’s
streets. People’s insensitive attitudes towards disability may have
improved a bit, but more still needs to be done.

The plight of the mentally disabled is even worse: There are only 43
government hospitals to cater to the estimated 70 million people
living with psychosocial disabilities. For every 1 million people,
there are only three psychiatrists, with a smaller number of
psychologists. Only 25% of hospitals, clinics and mental health
professionals are in rural areas.

Despite this, the government is yet to pass The Right of Persons with
Disabilities Bill, 2014, which covers 19 conditions of disabilities.
It includes conferring several rights and entitlements on disabled
persons like disabled-friendly access in all public spaces and
reservations in jobs and education for persons with at least 40%
disabilities along with preference in government schemes.

It is said that the moral test of a government lies in how it “treats
those in the dawn, twilight and in the shadows of life, i.e., the
children, the elderly and the handicapped.”

On all these counts, India has been found wanting.

One has no problem in obtaining sanction for using the scribe. But why
to visit day prior to the exam Centre along with the scribe? One of my
friends studies in Jammu University has informed that his Exam Centre
was 70 Kms from his villege. And he couldn't visit the Centre multiple
times due to his poverty.

2015-07-02 Thread Asudani, Rajesh
Dear Avinash
I endorse fighting non implementation of the provisions.
However, taking prior sanction for a graduate scribe of another stream by 
producing documents is a reasonable conditionality, me thinks.
Its non implementation of course has to be fought.
But if you say, they should provide the competent scribe without any prior 
imtimation, I don't agree.
Yes, on the spot sanction to the scribe brought by candidates we can demand.

All interpretations of point 1 are valid.
A graduate scribe from another discipline, of candidates' choice is provided 
subject to prior verification by center incharges.
We should only substitute verification with sanction.


I fail to understand why such a hew and cry is being raised against the 
provisions.
If we just want to barge into the exam center with scribe of our choice dot at 
the time of exam, then it is another matter.
Here, they are allowing scribe of our choice, only condition os another 
discipline, and prior sanction, so what is the problem?

I know ground realities leave much to be desired.

We may fight the non implementation of the provision, but attacking a 
reasonable provision itself is not justified.

1. Refer to the rules cited above:
"These candidates, on their request, will also be provided the
services of a scribe who would be a graduate in a subject other than
that of the candidate."
What does this provision exactly provide?
According to me Following may be the interpretations of this provision
A. The scribe would be a graduate.
B. the scribe should be graduate in the subject other than candidate's
graduation subject.
C. The scribe should be graduate in the subject other than for which
candidate is appearing in UGC Net exam.
It is not clear to me, whether the scribe should not be a graduate in
the subject in which the candidate is writing the NET exam, or the
candidate's subject of graduation?

2. The above quoted scribe rules provide
"Those candidates who opt for their own
 scribe have to produce the scribe before the concerned Center
 Superintendent along
 with his/her certificates of educational qualifications at least one
 day before the test.

Here the notification clearly provides that you will have to appear
before the exam center along with the scribe for the varrification
purpose. At this stage, I am afraid you can not challange this
provision.
There is a principle of law, which prevent a person to change his
position which he has taken erlier. You have accepted these arbitrary
conditions and didn't challange it before the exam. There are lesser
chances the court of law will entertain the plea for reconducting the
exam on this ground.
3. the office of CCPD is not a court in strict sence. It can not issue
a direction to public and other authorities. If you are seeking for
reconducting the exam on these grounds, you will have to file a writ
in the high court only on the basis that the guidelines are arbitrary
and fail to establish the test of reasonableness, hence violating the
principle of Article 14.

[AI] Odisha: Dept boon for special citizens

2015-07-02 Thread avinash shahi
Chief minister Naveen Patnaik today inaugurated the social security
and empowerment of persons with disabilities department. For the
moment, it would function from the premises of state institute of
disability rehabilitation at the Capital Hospital.

Minister of women and child development Usha Devi is heading the department.

























Till now, there was only a directorate working under the women and
child welfare department for the persons with disabilities, but there
was no full-fledged department and nothing whatsoever for the welfare
of senior citizens and transgenders.

Commissioner-cum-secretary of the department Saswat Mishra, who now
also heads the new department, said creation of a separate department
for these categories of citizens had become imperative.

"This department has been created to reduce the burden on the women
and child development department to look into the problems of these
vulnerable categories. The directorate of disability welfare will be
merged into this new department," said Mishra.

Mishra said this new department would also deal with social security
pensions of the state and central governments.

Activists working for welfare of the differently-abled people have
welcomed the move and expressed hope that the state co-ordination and
executive committees mandated under the Persons with Disabilities
(PWD) Act, 1995, would also be created shortly.

"These two committees will ensure that various governmental schemes
meant for the differently-abled people are properly implemented. The
committees should be formed with complete transparency, otherwise the
department would fail to meet its objectives," said disability
activist Sruti Mohapatra.

She said the new department should focus on education, employment,
accessibility and research. "The department should have a senior
administrative officer as the secretary, and he should dedicate
himself completely to this work," said Mohapatra.

Welcoming the move, senior citizens said that apart from dealing with
matters pertaining to pensions under various government schemes for
them, the department should also work for their social security and
safety. "The government must ensure that the senior citizens get their
due credit and their lives are safe and secure socially and
economically," said Krupasindhu Sahu, vice-president of the All-India
Senior Citizens' Federation.

The transgenders also welcomed the move and said the government should
adopt new policies for them and start welfare schemes. "We hope the
government will look into our problems and take steps to help us lead
a respectable life," said Meera, a transgender.
