Re: [AI] Inquiry about web captcha and accessible quizzing app

[mukesh jain]

Hello,
Sharing with you link for the app which helps solve captcha using your
android phone. Initially, it will solve 5 captchas. Then you have to
purchase the app if you wish and price is rs.60/-
The link goes here,
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rumola.light

I doubt whether webvisum works on android platform.
Hope this helps.

[avinash shahi]

How can one survive in paltry rs 300? and UP is all set to avail
national award tomorrow? its mockry of awards. Akhilesh Yadav should
answer why disabled people are crying for the minimum  in the state?
no jobs no education and ready to receive national award? stop holding

[AI] Sambhavana Statement against support rally for the passage of RPD bill

[pratap bisht]

Public Statement by Sambhavana Organization on the support rally by
some DPOs for RPD Bill:--

We are deeply disturbed to learn that various Disabled Persons
Organisations (DPOs) are planning a demonstration on December 3rd,
2015 in support of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (RPD) bill
(which may be tabled in Rajya Sabha in the winter session of the
Parliament) without knowing and discussing its contents. In our
opinion, the demand for parliamentary debate prior to public
consultation amounts to garnering support for the existing format of
the Bill. In this context, we feel it essential to recall the
formation of All India Disability Alliance (AIDA), a joint forum
consisting of various DPOs to demand a legislation accommodating the
needs and aspirations of all disabilities without discrimination.
Sambhavana was a strong presence in its campaign in 2014 and had
worked vigorously to mobilise cross-sections of disabled people. The
strength of our campaign, which compelled the Government of the day to
forgo its intentions to bring in the legislation through an Ordinance,
was a collectivism achieved through democratic engagement and wide
consultation amongst all organisations who were the part of AIDA.
Following the initial success, however, we did not witness any
intention on the part of the Convener, AIDA, (Shri Santosh Kumar
Rungta of National Federation of The Blind), to steer ahead the joint
campaign. It is really beyond our comprehension that why no
consultation  was facilitated by the AIDA Convener amongst member
organisations to inform the progress, if any, regarding the inclusion
of our demands in the bill! The decision to organize a support rally
on 3rd December 2015 by some DPOs in favour of the passage of the RPD
bill in the Parliament without any discussion raises some fundamental
questions:
Has any substantial change in the RPD Bill occurred since then?
Have all the serious points that we raised during our many rounds of
consultations among ourselves, as well as during our agitation against
the weak RPD bill, been included?
Has The present draft of the RPD bill with the suggestions of the
Standing Committee been put in the public domain for
consultation/deliberation?
Why no meeting of AIDA was organized to discuss the present development?
Questions such as these are very important and the disability
community owes an explanation from the Convener, AIDA, for this
non-transparent U-turn through bypassing the democratic process.
While the community all-in-all has been kept in dark regarding the
actual form in which the bill is being tabled in the upcoming
Parliament session, there are strong apprehensions about the inclusion
of many of our significant demands in the bill.  If this happens, we
fear that the tireless efforts which has been put in by the Disabled
community through a momentous disability movement for an effective RPD
bill could be wasted  and we may be thrown back in to the pre 1995
era. Therefore we strongly feel that the occasion of the International
Day for Persons with Disabilities could have been best utilised by
once again regrouping and re- strengthening our campaign for a strong
and effective RPD bill.
It is therefore disappointing that a support rally has been planned
without any round of consultation or discussion amongst all the member
organisations.
In the light of such unfortunate developments, we wish to clarify that
Sambhavana is not a part of the support rally being organised on
December 3rd, 2015. The organisation, however, will keep striving for
an inclusive and progressive legislation for persons with disabilities
and will readily contribute to similar efforts by
individuals/organisations championing the rights of the disabled.

Sambhavana Organization

[AI] They're Still Groping in the Dark

[avinash shahi]

KOCHI: There has been no change in the plight of visually challenged
people in society as attacks are still taking place against them, says
Kerala Federation of the Blind district president K J Varghese.  He
was referring to the attack on partially blind Joby John and his
mother Eliamma Varghese at Mulanthuruthy over a land dispute. "We are
not being led by any political group and have no political agenda. We
are independent, irrespective of class and caste. All we demand is our
right, which the law provides,” Varghese told Express.
http://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/kochi/Theyre-Still-Groping-in-the-Dark/2015/12/02/article3156687.ece
The Federation has expressed its concern over the safety and security
of the blind against the background of increasing threats to the life
of blind people in the state. Joby John, a teacher at Aranyankavu Govt
LP School, and his mother were allegedly attacked by their neighbours
on November 25. A case was registered by the Mulanthuruthy police in
this connection. “Even after years' long struggle for equal rights and
reservations, visually challenged people in Kerala still face problems
from various sections of society. They are being categorised as
second-class citizens by the society even after attaining reservation
rights. Only the blind from wealthy family backgrounds are able to
pursue their higher education, whereas those from poor families get
confined within the  walls of their homes,” says Varghese.

“We now live in fear of another attack by the neighbours. Hence, we
had requested for police protection. Though there are laws to ensure
safety of persons like me, it was very unfortunate that such an
incident happened,” said Joby John.

Meanwhile, the accused also filed a complaint against Joby and family
stating that they had called their caste name. An inquiry is on.

[AI] Fwd: [F 1 2 3] Basic information that might be helpful

[Shweta Mishra]

-- Forwarded message --
From: Fernando Botelho 
Date: Tue, 1 Dec 2015 13:51:37 -0200
Subject: [F 1 2 3] Basic information that might be helpful
To: "F123 Access Users (English)" 

Hi everyone,

Some of you might not have received an email with this introductory
information, so I am including it here in case it helps those who are
getting started with F123 Access. It now includes instructions on how to
activate or deactivate accessibility packages for Youtube and Facebook:

This e-mail includes:

* Links to Install Firefox and the F123 Access Extension
* E-mail address to subscribe to the F123 Access Google Group
* Web WhatsApp with F123 Access
* Activating and Deactivating Accessibility Packages
* Facebook with F123 Access
* Suggestions for F123 Access developers

If your question is not addressed in this message, please participate in
our group. The e-mail to subscribe to F123 Access group is included below.

* Links to Install Firefox and the F123 Access Extension

To install Mozilla Firefox please visit:
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/

To install F123 Access please visit the following link with your Firefox
browser:
https://f123access.com/intro_en

Please make sure you have "Private Browsing" turned off. Whenever
"Private Browsing" is on, all extensions are automatically turned off,
including F123 Access. This can also happen if you have Firefox
configured to never remember history.

* E-mail address to subscribe to the F123 Access Google Group

To participate on our F123 Access Google group, please send a blank
e-mail to the following address:
f123-access-english+subscr...@googlegroups.com

* Web WhatsApp with F123 Access

At this time, the Web WhatsApp page is not accessible to users of
screen-readers (despite the popularity of the service among the blind).
To allow screen-reader users around the world to have the convenience of
their full-size computer keyboard when using WhatsApp, and to
demonstrate the power of our technology, Web WhatsApp became the first
publicly available site reformatted by F123 Access. In this section we
describe the process of signing-up and then using Web WhatsApp with F123
Access.

Please note that because of the way the WhatsApp team designed the
service, it is necessary that you have a smartphone with WhatsApp
installed and working, preferably through a WiFi connection, so that you
may use WhatsApp on your computer. The WiFi suggestion is merely in
order to prevent that you use-up all your cellular data plan with
WhatsApp's frequent updates, as accessing the service through your
computer will still cause your phone to constantly update.

Since Web WhatsApp requires users to sign-in by scanning a QR code with
their phones, we suggest that most users ask for sighted assistance when
signing-in for the first or second time. If you check the box on the
WhatsApp web page where you have to scan the QR code, where it says
"Keep me logged in", you will only have to scan it once. In any case, it
is usually possible to learn the right position for the phone and then
scan the QR code independently.

The process is as follows:

1. Open WhatsApp on your phone and select Settings and then Web WhatsApp.

On some phones, when you are on the WhatsApp screen, you need to find
the menu button and select it to get these options: New Group, New
Transmission, Web WhatsApp, Status and Settings. In that case, select
"Web WhatsApp".

2. Open Web WhatsApp on your Mozilla Firefox browser after installing
F123 Access. The address for Web WhatsApp is:

  https://web.WhatsApp.com/

3. Then position your phone vertically in front of your computer screen
with its camera facing the screen. The touch screen will be facing you
while the outside or back camera is facing the screen.

On my laptop computer the distance is more or less the same as the
spacebar and the phone is held left of center. In other words, I hold it
vertically right above the left-most edge of the spacebar. I move it
left and right a bit if the login does not happen immediately.

4. You will usually hear a beep or feel a vibration when login takes place.

If you are using screen magnification, have screen brightness turned too
low, or have a dialog box open on the screen, login will not happen this
easily. If the above steps are not working for you, please ask someone
sighted to check if your screen brightness is normal, if magnification
is not active, and if there is nothing blocking the normal view on the
screen, i.e. the QR code.

5. Once you are logged-in, you will notice that you can easily jump from
one recent conversation to another using 2 and Shift+2 for level 2
headers, or just H and Shift H if you prefer. You can then choose one of
those contacts or groups by pressing Enter and your screen reader focus
will be placed on the edit field to write to that contact.

Buttons and links that were previously not labeled will now be labeled,
and you can quickly read messages exchanged with H and Shift H. But

Re: [AI] Fwd: Sambhavana Statement against support rally for the passage of RPD bill

[Vikas Gupta]

It is not enough to not support the eforts, which are being made
without a democratic process of dialogue, but we also need to actively
oppose the attempts to pass the bill in the parliament before it has
been circulated in the public domain with adequit time for feedback.
At the same time, we should fight for doing all of this within a
time-bound manner so that the new bill is not unduly delayed.
Best
Vikas

Re: [AI] [jnuvision] Fwd: Sambhavana Statement against support rally for the passage of RPD bill

[riteshtomer]

Rightly pointed out. There is no meaning of joining such aimless, visionless, 
and directionless agitations. People should have been made aware of document 
before seeking  of there support of any kind. I quote Dr Ambedkar for Mr SK 
Rungta here. dr Ambedkar said and i quote "educate, agitate, and organise" 
meaning, people should be enlightened about the reasoning of action before 
asking for any kind of support. Because an uneducated public cannot be 
organised. And an action cannot be successful without organisation.

A scribe facility is given that is so far in the case of SSC typing
test that I attended I was provided with a reader arranged by SSC
itself.
They will read the content which we have to type and additional time
is also given.
I don't know about magnification and brail availability.

Hope this helps
Best

Hi,
It can be seen in MS word if the running file is opened in compatible

 please note the details of application version and report.

 I understand that for end users NVDA and synthesizers are the same, but

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

[Dhananjay Bhole]

I agreed Avinash
No buddy gives importance to the issues of persons with disabilities
in India. It was not even raised during election as if we don't have
voting rights. All though our number is considerable but We are not
consentrated vote bank in any specific region.

One sad thing i would like to share about media that on last sunday PM
modi talked about persons with disabilities in his man ki bat. He also
talked about making barrier free environment in the country through
Accessible India Campaign. But none of the media  channel gave
coverage in last 2 days. They can show silly things for more than 2
weeks, create artificial issues but cannot spend 2 minutes to cover
real issues of persons with disabilities. Shame on Indian media on
nigative journalism. We face challenges in every walks of life such
that some time i feel that i am still fully dependant on others in
independant nation. I contacted several times  to media, shared
genuine issues of national interest and requested them to show
something on accessibility and disabilities on 15th october, third
december, 4th january, 9th may etc . But no buddy took interest. Is it
not intolerance?

I think some of us must contest election at least in sivic bodies so
that we can raise our voice.

Regards

>
> Public Statement by Sambhavana Organization on the support rally by
> some DPOs for RPD Bill:--
>
> We are deeply disturbed to learn that various Disabled Persons
> Organisations (DPOs) are planning a demonstration on December 3rd,
> 2015 in support of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (RPD) bill
> (which may be tabled in Rajya Sabha in the winter session of the
> Parliament) without knowing and discussing its contents. In our
> opinion, the demand for parliamentary debate prior to public
> consultation amounts to garnering support for the existing format of
> the Bill. In this context, we feel it essential to recall the
> formation of All India Disability Alliance (AIDA), a joint forum
> consisting of various DPOs to demand a legislation accommodating the
> needs and aspirations of all disabilities without discrimination.
> Sambhavana was a strong presence in its campaign in 2014 and had
> worked vigorously to mobilise cross-sections of disabled people. The
> strength of our campaign, which compelled the Government of the day to
> forgo its intentions to bring in the legislation through an Ordinance,
> was a collectivism achieved through democratic engagement and wide
> consultation amongst all organisations who were the part of AIDA.
> Following the initial success, however, we did not witness any
> intention on the part of the Convener, AIDA, (Shri Santosh Kumar
> Rungta of National Federation of The Blind), to steer ahead the joint
> campaign. It is really beyond our comprehension that why no
> consultation  was facilitated by the AIDA Convener amongst member
> organisations to inform the progress, if any, regarding the inclusion
> of our demands in the bill! The decision to organize a support rally
> on 3rd December 2015 by some DPOs in favour of the passage of the RPD
> bill in the Parliament without any discussion raises some fundamental
> questions:
> Has any substantial change in the RPD Bill occurred since then?
> Have all the serious points that we raised during our many rounds of
> consultations among ourselves, as well as during our agitation against
> the weak RPD bill, been included?
> Has The present draft of the RPD bill with the suggestions of the
> Standing Committee been put in the public domain for
> consultation/deliberation?
> Why no meeting of AIDA was organized to discuss the present development?
> Questions such as these are very important and the disability
> community owes an explanation from the Convener, AIDA, for this
> non-transparent U-turn through bypassing the democratic process.
> While the community all-in-all has been kept in dark regarding the
> actual form in which the bill is being tabled in the upcoming
> Parliament session, there are strong apprehensions about the inclusion
> of many of our significant demands in the bill.  If this happens, we
> fear that the tireless efforts which has been put in by the Disabled
> community through a momentous disability movement for an effective RPD
> bill could be wasted  and we may be thrown back in to the pre 1995
