[AI] Using an alternative OCR with the Lex camera

2015-11-27 Thread Pranav Lal
Hi all,

In the event that some of you have bought the Lex system from VisionAid (the
local dealer is Sparsh), you can use DocuScan Plus from Serotek with the  camera
that comes with the Lex system. Hats off to VisionAid for not locking its
hardware.
The advantage of DSP is that you can use both a flatbed scanner and a camera
with it. Yes, I had to dust off my Plustek Opticbook 3600 scanner the other day.
I had a business card to scan. I tried it with the Lex camera and was told no
text found. This is where I goofed. I formulated the premise that there was an
issue with the camera focus so it was time for the old flatbed. I had to use
compatibility mode to update the drivers for the Plustek Opticbook 3600 on
windows 10. Once that was done, I realized that I did not have any OCR program
to use it with. My copy of Fine Reader was long expired and I do not own
anything else. I have had my eye on DocuScan Plus for a while so gave it a spin.
No go, still no text. I saw the Lex camera listed in the image source and tried
it. Bingo, I got text. The experience is not as smooth as with the Lex software
but it works.

As for the business card, I had to use sighted assistance. The card is of an
architect and she has used some fancy fonts. Time to file bug reports with
VisionAid and perhaps Serotek  though I doubt they can do much since the problem
is with the  OCR component.

 On the braille  book when you read any particular page, there are all

 one particular line depending on the number of cells is displayed. For
 instance, with this braille display, at a time, you can have access to
 40 cells line area. After you complete reading this line, you have to
 get the next line or if you have to repeat the previous  line, then
 you have to get previous line. Here the arrow keys come in picture. Of
 course, there are multiple uses of arrow keys as you work in your pc
 as navigational keys. If you do not wish to keep changing your reading

 auto scroll in which you can set the timings and speed at which you

 Hope I am able to make you understand. If you have any further dounts,

[AI] Fwd: [DiD Guides] Weekly Digest of Dialogue News Worldwid e – Nov 2015 Vol 4

2015-11-27 Thread Mahendra Galani



Hi all


may be intresting for some?
enjoy!!



How are you? I hope everything is going well with you.

We have reached the last weekend of November and 2015 start declining.
But it is still weekend and the Dialogue does not decline in the
world. So I bring some interesting D-news for you all.

1.  And let’s start from an unusual place, Switzerland. Long time I do
not share news about Dialogue with Time. During the last days we had
the opening of Dialogue with Time exhibition in Bern. Find below a
video coverage of the Swiss television about this Dialogue. The video
is in German, so you can practice your Swiss German!

http://tp.srgssr.ch/p/portal?urn=urn%3Asrf%3Aais%3Avideo%3A8ebfda8e-3055-4d45-a424-c234fa26ac1b&autoplay=true&legacy=true&width=640&height=360&playerType=

2.  Next is Hyderabad, from where much on-line activity is coming the
last weeks. This is a wonderful review by Sakshi post. This journalist
was asked to visit and review DiD. We are used to wonderful and moving
reviews of the exhibition. In this case Shariqa did not manage to
finish the tour due to emotional overwhelm. But after that visited the
DiD restaurant for a different experience. And I am so happy to see
that at the end one of the shared takeaways is the quest for life of
the DiD guides. Do not miss this article below:

http://www.sakshipost.com/index.php/lifestyle/editor-s-picks/67836-dialogue-in-the-dark-saga-of-the-visually-challenged.html?psource=Home-Category

3.  And we finish in Malaysia with Stevens Chan first talk at TEDXSS.
Here Stevens talks about the perception of the general public for the
blind, and about social enterprises as dignifying professional way for
people with disabilities. Have a look!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7dcaKxXm4E&feature=share

This is all for this week and for this month. Take care and enjoy.
Please send your news. And see you in December!

Best wishes,

pepe

[AI] e-mail lists for Mac OS X accessibility

2015-11-27 Thread Bhavya shah
Dear all,
Having temporarily got a Macbook to play around a bit with, I would
like to join some official Mac OS X support groups Apple might have
created, or the community may have.
The only point of reference I have at present is Apple Vis (www.applevis.com).
I was aware that there was an Apple Vis mailing list in existence too,
but was that not for i OS accessibility related discussion, or does
that encompass Mac OS X accessibility topics too?
If you are aware of any Mac OS X support e-mail lists I should
subscribe, please let me know their joining/subscription procedural
details.
Anyways, I will be perusing through the Apple Vis website now to see
what I can learn from it...
Thanks.

2015-11-27 Thread Divyanshu Ganatra
Dear all,
We at Adventures Beyond Barriers Foundation,  wish to get nominations from
female  visually impaired and blind runners who would like to
participate in the upcoming marathon, Pinkathon, in Mumbai scheduled for Sunday
December13th.
There will be more then 10,000 women  runners participating from the main
stream community. We will pair the visually impaired runners alongside
professional marathon runners who will act as running partners and coaches. All
registration and other arrangements will be taken care of by our
organization, Adventures Beyond Barriers Foundation. the marathon
distances one can participate in are 3,5 and 10 KM. s, with seperate
podium finish for each category.
Please contact on +919890993825 to register or for enquiries.
Appreciate if you could also help share this information with other
groups and individuals with disabilities.

WHY DO WE CONDUCT marathons FOR PERSON'S WITH DISABILITIES and Able
bodied together?
You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year
of conversation. While our main focus is on the sport, the truth is,
sports are simply the tool for accomplishing a bigger goal, to bring
hope, inspiration and the joys of achievement to Persons with
Disabilities. Persons with Disabilities run for many reasons and with
many goals, to improve physical strength; to build confidence. But
along the run something else happens that few expect, but everyone
cherishes. It is the sense of friendship, encouragement, and community
that people find while running. It is our belief that with support,
nurturing, and training, Persons with Disabilities can participate and
succeed in mainstream sports. We believe that sports help us
understand different people and surroundings better. Being confronted
with a challenge and then overcoming it by creative ways is a great
way to increase confidence and it creates lasting ties with each
other. Running together encourages empathy, discovering more about
yourself and your partner. It creates awareness at levels that help
breaks stereotypes and bring about social transformation.
Running is a great way for Persons with Disabilities to mingle in the
mainstream. Many of them, especially in India, struggle with
establishing contact with the rest of the community and often live
isolated lives. Sport helps them break free of these barriers, engage
in the outside world, realize their capabilities and create
friendships. It helps their self belief, helps communicate their view
of world, and helps to think of themselves as change-makers.
ABOUT ADVENTURES BEYOND BARRIERS-
Adventures beyond Barriers Foundation is a Not for Profit
organisation, to promote adventure sports for persons with Disability.
The underlying philosophy is that “You can discover more about a
person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.” We aim to
engage able bodied individuals together with Persons with
Disabilities, in adventure sports and allied activities in a safe and
sustainable way and to bring them both together; in a journey such
that they help and learn from each other.
We hope to achieve this by creating appropriate conditions to
establish interpersonal contact, and by enabling communication with
one another, with a view to understand and appreciate different points
of views involving each other’s ways of life. As a result of this new
appreciation and understanding, issues of stereotyping, prejudice, and
discrimination between the groups should reduce and lead to long term
social transformation. This will also help get persons with disability
more visibility, which helps create awareness towards inclusion and
accessibility.

Re: [AI] RPD Bill Update: Diabetes, cancer off bill

2015-11-27 Thread Asudani, Rajesh
Yes.
LV are, as a rule, preferred.

I had vehemently championed for separate reservation to these two categories, 
or rather separate reservation for every disability, moderate and severe.

For a while, it was included in the draft as well.

However, the point does not seem to have made it into the final version.

One more important point needs attention.
Low vision and visually candidates fall in the same category in the new
bill, which may create problem for totally blind individuals.
In Delhi Government schools, such problems have come to notice.
For the principal's post just one year back, intensity of visual impairment
and not the merit was considered.

Subject: [AI] RPD Bill Update: Diabetes, cancer off bill

The Bill is listed in the business of parliament for winter session, we

http://www.telegraphindia.com/1151127/jsp/nation/story_55361.jsp
Govt rejects House panel suggestions on disability Ananya Sengupta  New
Delhi, Nov. 26: The government has junked a parliamentary panel's
recommendations to include diabetes and cancer in a disability bill pending
for two years now, finally agreeing with most stakeholders that these were
medical conditions and not disabilities.

Sources in the ministry of social justice and empowerment said it was
possibly the first since the 1995 Disability Act was framed that the
government and the sector appeared to be on the same page.

"We have conveyed to the committee that we wouldn't be able to include
diabetes and other such things under the bill as they are not disabilities,
but medical conditions. Even the disability sector is with us on this
issue," a senior ministry official said.

The Rights of Persons with Disability Bill, aimed at amending the 1995 law,
was introduced in the Rajya Sabha in 2013 before being referred to the panel
following disagreements.

In May this year, the committee, in a report to Parliament, recommended that
"prominent and permanent disabilities" like diabetes, blood cancer and
kidney failure be listed in the bill, following demands from a section of
the disability sector.

The House panel also suggested that dyslexia (reading disorder), dysgraphia
(writing disorder), dyscalculia (difficulty in learning or comprehending
arithmetic), dyspraxia (a condition that affects co-ordination), dwarfism,
epilepsy, dementia and paralysis of the limbs caused by injuries to the
spinal cord or other reasons be included.

Following the committee's report, dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia,
dyspraxia and dwarfism were included in the draft bill.

"The broad category of chronic neurological conditions includes paralysis,
spinal injury, stroke and dementia. Of course, a social sector bill cannot
ever be all-encompassing, it will evolve," the ministry official said.

The ministry has also redefined "discrimination" in accordance with the UN
Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disability, which calls for
unconditional right to equality on a par with others. In an earlier draft,
the right to equality had been curtailed under Section 3(3). It said the
right against discrimination existed, "unless" it could be shown that the
"impugned act or omission is a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate
aim".

"The government has accepted most of our demands. We demanded that the bill
follow the definitions of the UNCRPD and the government has done it," said
S.K. Rungta of the National Federation of the Blind. Rungta had protested
against the amended bill two years ago, eventually pushing it to the
committee.

In the new draft, the government has expanded the definition of disabilities
to include autism spectrum disorder, chronic neurological conditions,
haemophilia, leprosy-cured persons, locomotor disability, mental illness,
muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, thalassaemia and sickle-cell
disease, a hereditary blood disorder.

The ministry has also included a section on women with disabilities,
recognising equal rights, including those to reproduction and family
planning.

"These are positive changes. However, I don't know if it was wise to delay
the bill for two years when we could have

[AI] Disability and Intolerance: Do we ever think?

2015-11-27 Thread avinash shahi
There is an interlinkage between disability and intolerance in India.
Do we ever hear any hue and cry? From the family members  to the
parliamentarians leave no stone unturned in expressing contempt for
our existence. Some say ‘we are burden on them’, others scorn by
excoriating our visibility in the public life. We are invisible
sufferers cause we don’t have political actors to act in the theatre
of Indian polity. Its all about number game…

Hello,
On the braille  book when you read any particular page, there are all
the lines in front of you at a time. While in braille display, only
one particular line depending on the number of cells is displayed. For
instance, with this braille display, at a time, you can have access to
40 cells line area. After you complete reading this line, you have to
get the next line or if you have to repeat the previous  line, then
you have to get previous line. Here the arrow keys come in picture. Of
course, there are multiple uses of arrow keys as you work in your pc
as navigational keys. If you do not wish to keep changing your reading
navigation with arrow keys manually, then there is one feature called
auto scroll in which you can set the timings and speed at which you
want the next lines appear automatically across your fingers.

Hope I am able to make you understand. If you have any further dounts,
do get back again.
thanks,

[AI] RPD Bill Update: Diabetes, cancer off bill

2015-11-27 Thread avinash shahi
The Bill is listed in the business of parliament for winter session,
we could hope it functions smoothly?
http://www.telegraphindia.com/1151127/jsp/nation/story_55361.jsp
Govt rejects House panel suggestions on disability
Ananya Sengupta
 New Delhi, Nov. 26: The government has junked a parliamentary panel's
recommendations to include diabetes and cancer in a disability bill
pending for two years now, finally agreeing with most stakeholders
that these were medical conditions and not disabilities.

Sources in the ministry of social justice and empowerment said it was
possibly the first since the 1995 Disability Act was framed that the
government and the sector appeared to be on the same page.

"We have conveyed to the committee that we wouldn't be able to include
diabetes and other such things under the bill as they are not
disabilities, but medical conditions. Even the disability sector is
with us on this issue," a senior ministry official said.

The Rights of Persons with Disability Bill, aimed at amending the 1995
law, was introduced in the Rajya Sabha in 2013 before being referred
to the panel following disagreements.

In May this year, the committee, in a report to Parliament,
recommended that "prominent and permanent disabilities" like diabetes,
blood cancer and kidney failure be listed in the bill, following
demands from a section of the disability sector.

The House panel also suggested that dyslexia (reading disorder),
dysgraphia (writing disorder), dyscalculia (difficulty in learning or
comprehending arithmetic), dyspraxia (a condition that affects
co-ordination), dwarfism, epilepsy, dementia and paralysis of the
limbs caused by injuries to the spinal cord or other reasons be
included.

Following the committee's report, dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia,
dyspraxia and dwarfism were included in the draft bill.

"The broad category of chronic neurological conditions includes
paralysis, spinal injury, stroke and dementia. Of course, a social
sector bill cannot ever be all-encompassing, it will evolve," the
ministry official said.

The ministry has also redefined "discrimination" in accordance with
the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disability, which
calls for unconditional right to equality on a par with others. In an
earlier draft, the right to equality had been curtailed under Section
3(3). It said the right against discrimination existed, "unless" it
could be shown that the "impugned act or omission is a proportionate
means of achieving a legitimate aim".

"The government has accepted most of our demands. We demanded that the
bill follow the definitions of the UNCRPD and the government has done
it," said S.K. Rungta of the National Federation of the Blind. Rungta
had protested against the amended bill two years ago, eventually
pushing it to the committee.

In the new draft, the government has expanded the definition of
disabilities to include autism spectrum disorder, chronic neurological
conditions, haemophilia, leprosy-cured persons, locomotor disability,
mental illness, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, thalassaemia
and sickle-cell disease, a hereditary blood disorder.

The ministry has also included a section on women with disabilities,
recognising equal rights, including those to reproduction and family
planning.

"These are positive changes. However, I don't know if it was wise to
delay the bill for two years when we could have pushed for these
amendments after the bill had been passed," said Javed Abidi, of the
National Centre for Promotion of Employment of Disabled People, who
had supported the 2013 legislation.

 Hi Access Indians,



 As you know, The NVDA India team primarily works on requirements raised
 in
 India. We are eager to hear from the users of NVDA about challenges that
 they face while using NVDA. We prioritize the feature requests according
>>> to
 number of requests for any features or its impact on employability and
 education. Anything that will make NVDA work better with Indian
 languages
 is
 also our top priority as these issues never get priority by  non-Indian
 developers. Thus, if there are any issues that you would like to report,
 please report them on NVDA issue tracker on github
 https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues and forward the ticket number
 and
 description to sumandog...@gmail.com



 Sean Randall has written a nice blog on LinkedIn about the features:
>>> NVDASR
 doesn't just have new features, it adds them beautifully

>>> https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/nvdasr-doesnt-just-have-new-features-adds-the
 m-sean-randall



 A brief description of these features follows:



 Support of protected excel sheets: in a protected sheet if a cell
>>> selection
 is disabled, NVDA was not able to read the content in that cell. NVDA
>>> users
 can now navigate to those cells using browse mode. During the browse
 mode,
 NVDA would also announce whether a cell is unlocked so that users can
>>> press
 enter to move the focus to that cell.



 Listing and renaming of Microsoft Excel sheets: while working with large
 number of sheets, users often need a way to list all the sheets. So we
>>> have
 added an option to list sheets in elements list dialog. Users can also
 change the name of sheets in this list with f2 command. This command is
 added because NVDA was not working in the rename sheets dialog of excel.



 Reporting input messages or tooltips in Microsoft Excel: NVDA now reads
 special messages added in Excel cells known as input messages. These
 messages help users to fill proper values for excel forms.



 For details checkout the announcement for 2015.4 at
 http://www.nvaccess.org/post/announcing-nvda-2015-4-release/



 Also note, if it is the e-speak voice that is holding you back from
 exploring NVDA, then you can acquire license for Eloquence, Lekha and
 Sangita voices from Saksham.

Re: [AI] Reading colours with NVDA on intranet

2015-11-27 Thread SKYLINER
Thank you.  Singular thanks to Bhavya.

I have a doubt regarding latest NVDA 2015.4RC as you Bhavya suggest.  I already 
have it at my home & am unable to read/write Hindi on it.  Kindly suggest me a 
way out to it only then I could be able to update to latest NVDA in office.  I 
may mention here normally I need colour announcement in office most.

Thanks a lot.

>Hi,



Firstly, I would recommend you to upgrade to the latest NVDA 2015.4 RC



1, and then use the NVDA key + F keystroke to get formatting



information for the focused text, which includes its colour.



Thanks.
