Re: [AI] How to make jaws to announce the row and colum title in MS Excel

[Amiyo Biswas]

I know hardly a few formulas. still I am trying to explain.

Suppose column a has the names and column b the status, such as p or a. Now 
use this formula in a cell to find out the number of students present:

=COUNTIF(B2:B11,"p")

Replace "p" with "a" to find out the number of absentees.

This "p" or "a" is not case-sensitive.

Ok, thank you, also tell me how to set a formula to count number of
presents "p" against the name of a student in one particular collum in
attendance sheet?

hi
go to the beginning of the data, for example, the data is at a4, place
the cursore on a4 and press alt shift insert c, for column title, and
press same keystroke  replaceing r with c.

Hi members, I wanted to make jaws announce the title of the current
row and column in MS Excel. I am doing settings after going into
insurt+v, and setting it to row and columns, but it is not announcing
both, though it is announcing the latest one.
For instance, if I am on an active worksheet, I press insurt+v, set it
on row first and then on column second, then jaws is announcing only
the title of the column and not of the row. So please tell me how to
set it in such a way that it could announce both titles, row and colum
as wel.
I am using Jaws 17 and MS excel 2003.

@Voice, Cozy Magnifier & Microsope, Kota Daisy Reader, GPS Essential,
PocketBook and eReader Prestigion, which are available for access

Re: [AI] Jaws Screen Reader latest V18 goes Indian!

[Nirmal Verma]

Dear Mr Ram

We do image preprocessing before putting it through OCR. Which is not
possible by our friends. Lot many times the pages would be tilted resulting
in poor output. I have been using indsenz ocr before anybody was selling
that in India.

Telling the limitation of OCR is very much mecessary to your potential
customers. If there are images in pages the there would be no output. Text
with coloured background will have no output. OCR of Children book will not
yield good results. Old library books with yellowness on pages are bound to
give you bad images and hence poor results. If there are mixed languages
then there would be junk in output. Not all images types give good results
for hindi OCR.
We are using linux to do OCR. unfortunately jaws wont work in linux.

This sounds amazing. What are the charges for the institutions? I mean, JNU had 
purchased the lisence of earlier versions, if it needs to upgrade to JAWS 18, 
what is the procedure and how much will it cost? I'm sending this mail to our

Re: [AI] Jaws Screen Reader latest V18 goes Indian!

[Ram Agarwal]

Dear Nirmal,
If the accuracy of zoCR is good then why not use the those offered by Indic 
Trust and if it converts any type of fonts to Unicode then even Jaws would read 
it easily.
Nirmal, please kindly send us the links so that we can test them with Jaws V18 
so that our visually challenged friends can benefit.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks

If the OCR is from Indsenz then be very cautious. Results of the OCR may vary a 
lot. Good for high quality images but poor for coloured pages and old library 
books. Not all type of images will work.
If your work is less then use the free ocr service from indic trust. We give 
ocr for many more languages than jaws. Tamil, telugu, hindi, kannada, punjabi, 
bengali etc. You can read all these languages with NVDA, the free screen reader.

Re: [AI] Any Good Published or Unpublished Piece/Representation on the Term Divyang?

[avinash shahi]

Dear Vikas sir, There are many reports published in various Indian
dalies on the term 'divyang' where activists have spoken in support
and opposed the nomenclature. But my Op-Ed which was published by the
Tribune was one of the first serious attempt which complicated the
ramification of the term. Then the debate on the issue became more
substantial.  My write-up: "Deifying people with disabilities a cruel
joke" which appeared on 11 January 2016 was well-received
internationally. In fact one of the Joint Sec in the DEPWD during that
period acknowledged the powerful disection but expressed his inability
to do away with the term cause the political establishment was
hellbent in imposing  the term at any cost. But what we have been able
to achieve that 'divyang' will be used as suffix in brackets.IE
Persons with Disabilities (Divyangjan). My opinion piece delves about
the legal ramification and posits not to legalise the term which would
bring shame to India which is a party to the UNCRPD at the
international fora. You could read if not to recommend. Smiles. If you
recommend this, you will have to take permission from the Tribune
publishers. This piece was shared more than 550 times on FB and and on
twitter. And the Tribune gave me an honorarium of Rs 3000 for this
Op-Ed.
The URL and the piece is pasted below
http://www.tribuneindia.com/news/comment/deifying-people-with-disabilities-a-cruel-joke/181902.html
India is a signatory to the UN Convention on Rights of Persons with Disabilities
In India, the people with disabilities are addressed by many
denominations interchangeably.  Since the mid-1980s, patronising terms
such as “differently abled” and “specially abled” have been quite
common in public parlance. Recently, Prime Minister Narendra Modi in
his last Mann ki Baat, broadcast on December 27, 2015,  appealed to
the public to adopt the use of the term “divyang” (divine body) to
address  persons with disabilities. This well-intentioned  appeal by
the Prime Minister, through the state-run All India Radio, to call
people with disabilities as “divyang” (divine bodies) could do great
damage to their dignity and identity.
 People with disabilities have long been enduring  the pain of not
being addressed as normal human beings as they think themselves to be.
Moreover, the term “divyang” is antithetical to the definition of
disability envisaged under the United Nations Convention on the Rights
of Persons with Disabilities, to which India is a signatory.
 The UNCRPD stipulates that disability occurs due to extraneous
factors such as physical, psychological and environmental barriers.
The Indian Government which ratified the treaty, is thus duty-bound
not to contravene the provisions of the UN treaty in the domestic
legislation and the public policy on disability. Persons with
disabilities have long been demanding from the State that they should
neither be pilloried as evil mortals nor be deified. They are as
human, with distinct physiological and psychological attributes, as
other non-disabled individuals in  society.
 However, too much obsession with the notion of “abelism” in the
public sphere has dashed the dream of the people with disabilities
from becoming equal citizens on a par with others. They are often
pitied and treated with charity. They are not respected as people
having Constitutional rights. The woes of the People with Disabilities
related to accessibility, education and employment are paid tangential
attention. The Central Government allocates meagre budgetary support
for their empowerment.  For instance, in the last Budget of 2014-15,
presented by the Finance Minister Arun Jaitely, it was paltry Rs 5,000
crore. Moreover, the state governments' indifference towards people
with disabilities is more shocking.
  Despite disability being one of the subjects in the state list under
the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution, several states are yet to
formulate a comprehensive policy on disability issues. The demand for
bringing  disability in the concurrent list is yet to be met. As a
result, the large number of people with disabilities residing in the
rural areas are compelled to live in inescapable penury. However, the
governments at the Centre and in the states remain negligent about
their pressing needs.The daily ordeal of the persons with disabilities
at the grassroot reveal their vulnerabilities which requires an urgent
attention from the government.
 Therefore, amidst harsh poverty faced by the disabled,  extolling
them as “divyang” is not less than a covert ploy to shield their
resilient character and struggle as human beings.
 Undoubtedly,  people with disabilities face daunting hurdles and
create innovative ways to overcome them. However, their struggle to
deal with the obstacles should not be glorified. People with
disabilities should not be construed as passive subjects. They are
agents of their own destiny. It is thus imperative for the Government
to take them on board before formalising any ne

[AI] Any Good Published or Unpublished Piece/Representation on the Term Divyang?

[Vikas Gupta]

Dear All:
I shall be glad to read on the subject on Divyang. Besides this, if
received by tonight, and if agreed by the Editorial Board of
Reconstructing Education for Emancipation, I would also recommend it
for publication in this quarterly. It does not matter whether it is
published or unpublished at this stage.
Best
