Because people have been so kind and generous, I am able to continue
offering the Eyes-Free Fitness® workout programs for free. The
website, https://www.blindalive.com, is the same but it is a minimal
site. All programs can be downloaded to your phone or computer. There
are meditations, cardio, weightlifting, pilates, yoga, stretching,
stability ball, barre method, foam roller, and a balance series. They
are easy to download.
I no longer have a support team but you can write to me and I will
help you if I can.
I will be depending on continuing donations to keep this offering available.
If there are any changes to the website, I will announce it through e-mail.
I hope everyone has a peaceful year.
Good health to you,

Genetic counciling is also available in Dr. LV Prasad Eye Institute,
Hyderabad. I visited there before few months, and they told me you'll
have to spend near about Rs. 30,000 for getting it done.

 You may advise your friend to go there and get the tests done.

[AI] Open position @ VisioApps

[Pramit]

Dear friends,

We at VisioApps are building Android apps [screenreader + voice control] 
for visually challenged. I am also visually impaired and can't read at all.
The app is in the final stages and we should be launching in the next 
couple of months. We are a seed-funded startup, our investors being some 
of the top names in VC / startup world.


We are looking for a full-time mobile app QA tester to be based in our 
office at Gurgaon. The required experience is 1 to 2 years.


Interested candidates may get in touch with me directly at 
pra...@visio-apps.com 


Many Thanks

Re: [AI] Currency Detector

[Kotian, H P]

Hi George

You would have seen in the news report regarding BGFI petition, the demand for 
accessible currency is strongly pitched for. The demand is that RBI formulates 
design guidelines taking into consideration the needs of VI persons.

We know it will not be possible to phase out inaccessible currency in one go.

Technology is therefore just an interim solution. By no means a final solution. 
We are very clear and articulate about it.

Harish.

I take out my phone switch on my app and then start examining the currency one

I can't imagine the scene. I shall take the note from my pocket or wallet to my 
hand, then scan it with my mobile, listen to it and then pay with this note. It 
reminds me of a very famous Bengali story of the sixties by Shibram Chakraborty.

A bus conductor is brought for trial for slapping a lady.

Judge: Why did you slap a lady passenger?

Conductor: When I went to the lady for ticket, she opened a handbag. She 
fumbled inside it for some time and brought out a small pouch from it. She then 
opened the pouch and brought out a purse. She then produced a paper pack from 
it. She unfolded the paper and produced a 10 paise. But by then I had moved 
forward to the front side of the bus, approaching other passengers for 
ticketts. She wrapped the paisa inside the paper, placed it in the purse, 
placed the purse in the pouch, and then put the pouch in the handbag and put 
the zipper in place.  Five minutes later, I asked her for ticket agaij. She 
opened the handbag, brought out the pouch from the handbag, ...

Judge: If you don't cut short, I shall give you a slap.

Conductor: See, sir, I am only telling you what happened and you are losing 
patience. Feel my situation when it happened to me.

Re: [AI] Currency Detector

[Pramit]

My two cents on a simple solution that I use:

1.  I use "BlindDroid Wallet" app  to  identify new notes

2. Every denomination note has a specific place / position in my wallet 
and hence there is no confusion at all

It will be a small device, about the size of a credit card, a bit thicker, will 
need to be charged occasionally, and will announce the currency denomination in 
loud voice when the note is put on it.
I understand that it may cost hundreds of rupees but the government must pay 
this kind of fine for the  mess it has created with new and old notes in 
circulation.
It should be easy for everyone to use.
I have written about this earlier, also in a letter to RBI, but who cares on 
that side!

My personal view. The app is a bad idea. At best it is usable when one is at 
home. While  transacting with the auto driver or at a shop or in a public 
space, the blind  customer and his app will test the patience of people. 
Besides I believe it would make us vulnerable.

Subject: [AI] Currency Detector

Hi All,

With all the conversation around challenges with the currency, BarrierBreak has 
taken the initiative to develop an app called 6 by 6. 6 by 6 has 3 different 
tools and another few are being built. The 3 tools are:
- Currency Detector
- Light Detector
- Magnifier

This app is currently on the Android platform and can be downloaded from the 
Playstore - 
https://play.google.noclick_com/store/apps/details?id=com.barrierbreak.fin=en

We know that some of you'll are already using it and we have received feedback 
which we have incorporated also. We know that some currency notes are not as 
well recognized like the Rs. 50 note and are working on this.

Instructions to help you get an accurate prediction -

- Hold the Currency between 5-6 inches from the phone.
