Re: [AI] Subscription for a Youtube Channel.
Thank you for the favour. There are one or two maggazines in Hindi and English already. At least there is one audio magazine in Hindi from Ahmedabad. They can use the youtube channel. It is free and accessible. We had to stop a print magazine some time back. I planned to switch over to audio form for saving cost and quick circulation. It was first on our official site. But readers requested us for the youtube edition for its easy features. You may try starting one.

Re: [AI] Netflicks and audio description
Hi all, Myself and veena used the XL cinema app in the movie theatre to watch Sanju with audio description yesterday. The experience was great. For the first time we felt as if we have seen the complete movie. Generally we go to the movies only with friends and relatives and keep bugging them to describe the non-verbal parts of the film. Even then the experience is not as complete as yesterday. I have even gone to the extent of googling for the movie story earlier since often we miss out on critical incidents in the movie while watching without description. I think this app is the best solution for providing audio description. There is no need to think about making changes to the movie theatres which anyway does not seem feasible. It will be great if more and more movies do the audio description on their own. The app will need to be improved continuously. On iPhone 6s it worked without any problem, it even detected the movie interval. On an iPhone 7 the AD track stopped several times and had to be started again and again. Great work done by Mr. Dipendra Manocha with the Saksham and XL cinema team. Kudos to Mr. Raj Kumar Hirani for providing the permission to launch the audio description. thanks, Prashant -Original Message- From: AccessIndia [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of Aruni Sharma Sent: 27 July 2018 09:11 To: AccessIndia: a list for discussing accessibility and issues concerning the disabled. Subject: Re: [AI] Netflicks and audio discription hello, XL cinema is providing unmatched entertainment to us and in my view is much more comprehensive and useful than the media descriptions we are getting in netflicks. I don't find Netflicks very useful apart from the fact that it has got a very big number of movies and tv shows. I rather find it very inconvenient at times because we cannot exclusively listen to the action descriptions. The limited info that is available, wherever there is any subtitle, because you either hear everything, dialogues being repeated in the language of your choice simultaneously or hear no descriptions at all. In fact media description is quite different from audio description. Thanks and regards, Dr. Aruni Sharma.

[AI] Problem in disabling FN key in dell laptop.
Dear all, A silent reader has come with a small quairy after a long time. One of my friend is having dell laptop with windows 7 OS. She wants to disable FN key so that it will be easy to use function keys separately. I am aware of 2 methods to do the task. One is from BIOS and the other is from Mobility centre. I tried to search on google and there I found that there is an option call “Function key behaviour” in mobility centre. But I am unable to find the option by pressing tab in windows mobility centre. I have done this successfully previously with a dell laptop with windos7 OS install in it. I kindly request all of you to guide me step by step so that I can help her accordingly.

Re: [AI] Your disability is your ownership - My Take by Amar Jain, winner, NCPEDP Mphasis Javed Abidi Public Policy Award 2018
Really inspiring and motivating. -Original Message- From: AccessIndia [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of Amar Jain Sent: Sunday, July 29, 2018 10:33 AM To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Subject: [AI] Your disability is your ownership - My Take by Amar Jain, winner, NCPEDP Mphasis Javed Abidi Public Policy Award 2018 https://newzhook.com/story/19211 While I am not a big fan of sharing my own stories, but little I knew that it can lead to mindset change. Amazing work by Newz Hook. From small-town Jodhpur to a career as a successful equity capital markets lawyer with one of India's top law firms, Amar Jain's journey is truly an inspiration. In My Take this week, Jain, who is one of the winners of the NCPEDP Mphasis Javed Abidi Public Policy Award 2018, shares his story. None of my family members have any career background in law whatsoever. My father is into jewellery, my mom takes care of my food pampering, and my brother is a software engineer. In fact, when I had to decide on a career option, my father thought that law would be the easiest, given that his friends studied a day before the exams, and yet did well for themselves! I was born prematurely. While I was born fine, excess oxygen and negligence by doctors damaged my retina. I developed retinal detachment. In simple terms, my retinal veins do not have blood circulation for them to be able to generate eyesight. In my case, the problem got diagnosed when I was four months old at which point saving my retina was a nil possibility. At the time, my family was based in Jodhpur where access to information, awareness levels, opportunities, etc were all rather limited. The early days of post-disability diagnosis are hard for anyone. Given the limited awareness, the attitude you get is mostly sympathy rather than positivity. Battling disability stereotypes My parents did whatever they could to accommodate my blindness. As for others, they changed their thinking based on how I changed. I used to get comments like - 'what will this poor blind fellow do?' For people at large, I was more like a social service obligation. I used to sing and play musical instruments during those days, so people thought I would become someone famous like the late Ravindra Jain. Everywhere I went, I would be asked to sing and then people would give me food and sometimes money. But no one would talk to me. All this led me to quit music completely. I got admitted to a blind school, which had its pros and cons. The thinking there is quite limited. As career options, few were shown. In terms of sports, cricket, chess and playing cards were the only avenues. Things like grooming, no one talked about, all of which impacts you later in life. The biggest challenge at that point in time was to acquire material in a format which you could read on your own. Books were not available after class 9 in Braille, and getting audio recordings done was a challenge. I was lucky enough to find teachers who were enlightened and that got me here. Attitude change The turning point was in class 5 when I wanted to go for tuitions like my friends. I went to my dad and said either get me tuitions or I can’t study these books. He slapped me really hard and said either learn to do self-study, or I will get a silver bowl for you to beg, because that’s the only thing you can do in life if you can’t study. Exactly three days thereafter, I kept all my books in front of him, and told him “Ask me anything from wherever you want.”. That one instance made me work for achieving dignity of my own. After school I started looking at various career options. We decided that law was the best option as every government department needs a law officer. I thought if I do law, I can also help my community to get the rights which all of us deserve. Today, I am an equity capital markets lawyer. Simply put, when companies want to raise money by listing their shares on the stock exchanges, or raise further capital by issuing new shares or debentures, they come to lawyers like us, for diligence, documentation, and other transactional advice. Unlike traditional lawyers, I don’t go to court rooms. I work with a corporate law firm in Mumbai. I love this area for many reasons. First, I am not stitched to a particular industry or a company. So the knowledge which I derive about different industries and companies is a huge incentive. Second, due to the current challenges where technology fails, many experienced professionals believe that it is not possible for a blind person to become a successful capital markets lawyer. And I want to change this while I have the opportunity. Third, I always wanted to work in financial and commercial law. Fourth, I want to acquire the best of the intelligence from bankers, auditors, private equity investors, and people running the businesses. Lastly, I just want to do it. I don’t want 1,000 people who need me, I want one e

[AI] Update required on accessibility of iTOI, iNDTV and iBBC
Dear friends, I need an update on the accessibility of the iOS TOI, NDTV and BBC apps, as I deleted them after installing iOS 12’s beta to switch to Windows for checking these news services. I would especially like to know – where is te contact us in the NDTV app and the new layout of the TOI app? This is a desperate and urgent need as I am not being able to make full searches on the TOI website, wherein all actual results that contain the search term do not show up. Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you.

What a wonderful take Bhaiya...i glimpsed it just by reading the title line!
