A marathoner guided by sound, not sight
MUMBAI: Mohammed Asif Iqbal's viewpoint is clear. The blind man, who is set to run 21km at Tata Mumbai Marathon (TMM) this Sunday, is thankful God gave him the courage to run. "I could've wasted away at home, but the Almighty has been kind...
 I had never imagined I would be able to run, but here I am..." he says.
The Kolkata resident will be flanked by a pair of buddy runners as he hits the ground running blindfolded on Sunday. His running buddies-Mumbai resident Jay Mali and Prakash Singh from Kolkata-will guide Iqbal along the route as they sprint
 along, steering him in the right direction with just their voices.
It's not unusual for visually challenged persons to participate in races. But what makes Iqbal's case unique is that he will not be bound by a bandana strapped to his running buddy, as is usually the case. "I'll run with no strings attached...with
 no physical assistance," he says.
But why run blindfolded? Iqbal says his attempt once to get an entry in Limca Book of Records was rejected on the grounds that he had not been blindfolded in line with a rule framed to prevent those with no visual loss from claiming records
 in the blind category. Ever since then, he has been running blindfolded.
 
 
Typically, on Sundays, he runs between 15km and 21km with Singh. "On weekdays, daily office grind keeps us busy," says an associate director at PwC.
He started running seven years ago, holding the elbow of a sighted person, until a friend advised him to try running without holding hands. "I was jittery at that," he admits. The honk of a vehicle or the roar of its engine was scary. "Today,
 I run like a free bird," he says, adding that this kind of running has earned him a credit in Asia Book of Records and India Book of Records. Iqbal was born with 50% vision.
 
 
Iqbal is waiting to get to Mumbai this Friday. Last year, he clocked 3 hours 19 minutes for the half marathon, but this year he has set his sights on finishing it in 2 hours 45 minutes. Next year, he hopes to do the full marathon (42km).
 "That would be a Guinness World Record," says Iqbal. "I believe I can do it."

Re: [AI] Scanning a document without printing

2020-01-07 Thread Dr Aruni Sharma
Hello Mohit, You can use envision-AI on iPhone to scan PDF images and it's
specially helpful if you have Hindi PDF Images If you have only English
language PDF You should better purchase Voice Dream Reader. Once you share
the image with voice dream reader, it will give you option to convert the
image into a text file using the native OCR app of the IOS.
Hope that helps.

Re: [AI] FIX : IndianRail on the internet - issues

2018-10-13 Thread Aruni Sharma
Would just like to make two observations:
1. the audio capcha is working fine with NVDA on firefox.
2. My name is written as "Mr Aruni Sharma" on the railway card and if I
don't add "Mr" then I get card not found or something like that.

Would like to know if IRCTC login is accessible with any other browser than
FireFox.

Re: [AI] About Netflix audio discriptions

2018-10-08 Thread Aruni Sharma
Hi, there is an option of audio description somewhere in the settings tab.
if you enable it you will always here the audio description if available.
Otherwise also, as soon as the video starts playing, find the "audio and
subtitles" button, choose appropriate options and press "close".
In the latest IOS 12, the "media description" option has just vanished from
the voiceOver roter. So you have to go inside the voiceover settings and
enable media descriptions.

Re: [AI] Anyone using the Nokia 6.1 plus?

2018-10-01 Thread Aruni Sharma
Hi Satguru, Samsung has special accessibility feature like double tap
typing, accessible dialer, triple home click for enabling talkback etc. You
can right away start using your phone after reboot by simply clicking home
button thrice. A big issue that I find irritating is the stock dialer. What
would you say to this.

Hello Ahuishek, If you move line by line on the payment page, NVDA will
announce different tabs. Press enter on anyone of them and then select the

Hi, There is nothing personal about my mail. Whatever issues have been raised 
are causing concern to all of us. For me, it is all about getting things done 
so long as the issues are not fixed by the authorities. As far as question of 
installing multiple browsers and screen readers is concerned, I use all most 
all  browsers and screen readers as everyone of them has its own merits. Things 
have become slightly tough in windows10 as Edge doesn’t have good support for 
JAWS at the moment.

Aruni Ji, your reply in this topic seems that you are presenting IRCTC part
in the matter. The website must be accessible across screen readers. Your
mail suggest me to install multiple web browser with multiple screen
readers. as the case in particular, I have no problem with IRCTC at all.
secondly, the PRS counter is just 1km from my office, hence, purchasing
train ticket is not a barrier for me in particular.

2018-09-24 Thread Dr. Aruni Sharma
Hello, While there is certain need to bring pressure upon IRCTC, Please note 
the following: As has been mentioned previously in this list, it is possible to 
book ticket using firefox in combination with NVDA.

The user ID and password field is not accessible with jaws?
comment: The problem is with Microsoft edge browser. The only one working for 
us well and that too with NVDA is firefox.

somehow you can manage to login. after login selection of station, quota, etc 
are 
not accessible. before login the selection of above are not accessible. 

Comment: These things can be managed well with NVDA object navigation.

 Regular and advance user can manage it with trial and error. There is some 
overlaying graphics on their page which hide the login field. After long 
cummunication However, they have now fixed  the error of OTP. 

Comment: Apart from OTP I think there is also option for audio capcha, although 
I could find it once or twice only while using google chrome with chromevox. It 
is also possible to use irctc in a more accessible way with google chrome in 
combination with chromevox 

Also now you can book concession ticket through IRCTC with escort if the escort 
is a 
senior citizen. previously it was not possible.

Comment: I have not noticed any such limitation. Concessional tickets can be 
booked for blind and escort passengers using irctc. 

secondly, their enquiry website, www.indianrail.gov.in has now become 
inaccessible. they have put graphical captcha on each enquiry.

Comment: This problem was earlier there also but for PNR inquiry only. This has 
now further aggravated. 
I am planning to prepare two audio walk-throughs one for booking tickets using 
IRCTC site with NVDA and Firefox. And another one for accomplishing same task 
with google chrome and chromevox. The IRCTC rail connect app on android is also 
quite accessible. If there is solution provided for capcha, booking rail ticket 
would become fully accessible for a visually impaired person. 
Thanks 
Aruni.

Hi, It's quite  easy to cood noodles like Maggie. I prefer putting some
vegetables like onion and, green chillys and whatever excites your taste
buds. Even oats can be easily cooked the same way. Oats can also be taken

Its better to use an induction cooktop for cooking. Its 100% safe and

Re: [AI] 25% off on New Years Trip

2018-09-06 Thread Dr. Aruni Sharma
Hello, I have been to all these 3 places of course never with 
BatTravels. I would keep the trip to Taj the least favorite on my list, because 
I could hardly find anything interesting in terms of touch and feel of the 
place apart from its historical significance and importance from tourism point 
of view. I found Sikandra rather more interesting.
It’s hard to pick my favorite out of the remaining two. I had a wonderful 
experience both in Goa and Rajasthan. Both Goans and Rajasthani's are wonderful 
hosts, very polite and interesting. 
For vegetarians Rajasthan is a taste paradise. There are so many dishes to 
choose from and different places offer different types of food to tickle your 
taste buds. Goa on the other hand, is a paradise for non-vegetarians. You can 
get all kinds of sea food there. But vegetarians would be disappointed somewhat 
because I found the food quality not good at all.
Both places offer a lot of adventure but Goa would have an upper hand because 
of the many a water sport activities. Rajasthan is also not far behind as you 
can enjoy Jeep safari and great camel ride on Jaisalmer’s  huge sand dunes.
However, I went to Rajasthan just last year and so I would prefer Goa this 
time. 
Thanks and regards,
Dr. Aruni Sharma.

Hello everyone. We at Bat Travels have been trying to reach a conclusion 
regarding what trip to organise during the New Years. We have shortlisted 2-3 
destinations, but we haven't been able to pick one. Why not you tell us your 
preference amongst the three destinations along with a reason as to why you 
prefer it over the others. If your reason is good enough, not only do we make a 
trip to this place in New Years but you also get a 25% discount on the trip 
price. Excited much?  Do take your pick from below: 1. Goa: Isn't Goa THE 
destination during New Years? Water sports and the parties.  2. Jaisalmer: How 
about staying in camps on sand dunes with a bonfire to warm you in the cold 
nights. 3. Agra: Ahh..the Taj Mahal. People from all over the world come to 
witness this expression of love. if you have a beloved or don't how does it 
matter. Shah Jahan was mad enough for his. So cast your vote for option 1, 2 or 
3. Don't forget to mention your reason. New Years could be really happy. - Team 
Bat www.battravelsonline.com P.S. - Bat Travels curates trips for visually 
impaired to travel with sighted as travelpals. We are fairly new but we have

Re: [AI] Netflicks and audio discription

2018-07-26 Thread Aruni Sharma
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.

Re: [AI] XL Cinema experience

2018-07-26 Thread Aruni Sharma
Hi sir, Today I went to watch Sanju again, this time with XL cinema of
course. There are a couple of points that I would like to draw your
attention to. First of all, it was obviously a great experience taking
entertainment to a new level.
1. I found that it is better to use a Bluetooth headset instead of a wired
earphone. The reason is that while using the wired headset I did not get
any indication whenever AD stopped and there was need to resink the audio.
Here I would like to state that unfortunately interruptions were too many.
I had to resink almost after every 15-20 minutes.
2. The advantage of using the Bluetooth headset is that I got beeps in the
headphone whenever there was an error.
3. I had also taken Sholay for a spin but did not face any interuptions
there. On the other hand, the AD continued even after I had paused the
movie.
4. I did not get any vibratory feedback when I clicked the Resink and play
button which was somewhat confusing. It was only when the audio
sincronisation was over that I got 3 vibrations.
Thanks and regards,

I tried using Narrator yesterday. Though the voice is clear, could not use
it on word or xl. NVDA and Jaws are far ahead. Besides, today we use a
number of applications that are non MS. Not sure if Narrator in its present

Subject: Re: [AI] Narrator as a screen reader come of age

While I support development of the Narrator and hope that someday it will be
as good as NVDA and Jaws with all advanced features, I am cautious  because
of the MacOS experience.

The screen reader on iOS is great but on the desktop platform Mac is not the
first choice of blind persons even in USA and Europe.
On the desktop environment, a lot more features are required as compared to
the mobile OS. Voiceover on Mac has not reached the level of Jaws and NVDA
and to most the keystrokes are also very cumbersome to learn. 

For now the question an average user will ask are:
Is Narrator better than NVDA? If not then why should I switch?
Is Narrator supporting all my requirements like scanning books, word
processing, presentations, call conferencing, Excel etc.?
Is Narrator working with Indian languages like Hindi? is typing and editing
fully supported in regional languages?  

Till the time the answer is yes to above questions, it is good to let the
new users know about Narrator but train them on using NVDA only.
Once people are good users of the computer, they can compare and choose for
themselves. Actually they can use different screen readers  for different
requirements depending upon their strengths. 
 
And note that I am involved in the development of accessibility of  Edge
browser and thereby contributing a bit towards Windows accessibility. I have
nothing against Microsoft. I also want operating systems to  build complete
accessibility eliminating the need to procure third party Assistive
technology.

that we should keep multiple screen readers handy, be it Windows or Android,

  Hi Prashant

  It was certainly Microsoft did not have technical challenges to make a
good screen reader. I suppose because of IOS and Android, Microsoft got a
realization, they could not hold it any more.

  To my understanding, they gave space for assistive technology companies to
grow and compete. Now as it stands today all have withered away and this may
be another factor for MS to reenter into this space.

  As I see narrator today, I think, MS will take narrator in full steam. The
mood and inclination seems poised to provide 3rd party support. In my
opinion computer training centres should onboard this development to make
their course relevant and contextual.

  I would not really call it a set back to NVDA development. One can't have
only one screen reader as a solution. There are occasions where one screen
reader out performs another. It should be users choice where and when he
chooses to use which screen reader. This can only be done when the choices
are inherently rich enough in features and capabilities.

  I would consider it regressive if training centres do not make aware and
provide suitable training even when screen reader is sufficiently capable.

  Although screen reader development is a tricky business, there should not
be a forced cost to it. Accessibility should be inherently available to use
the platform.

Re: [AI] Narrator as a screen reader come of age

2018-06-18 Thread Aruni Sharma
Hi, An important thing about narrator that I have noticed is it having 
very good support for apps that are available in the Microsoft store. The app 
itself is more accessible with narrator than any other screen reader. So it is 
easier to search for apps in the store with narrator and further the app would 
most probably be more accessible and manageable with narrator than any other 
screen reader.
Secondly, the response time is amazing even on low-end machines. I have never 
noticed any lag or stuck ups. 
Another big feature since windows10 version 1709 is the availability of hindi 
voices with narrator. MS has taken big lea[p forward in the regard. Automatic 
language switching is instantaneous. 
On top of it whenever a fresh copy of windows10 is run for the first time, you 
immediately get voice prompt and instructions for using narrator.
Narrator also works quite well with the latest version of MS office, edge and 
mail etc.
So even if it may not be used as the primary screen reader at present, the day 
is not far when it will give other screen readers a run for their money.

Yes, Narrator has really improved by leaps and bounds. But I would still not 
recommend anyone to switch to it given that NVDA is also available free of cost.
It needs to be seen if Microsoft continues to develop Narrator and more 
importantly if they put resources in supporting third party applications and 
develop advanced screen reader features. Also it needs to be seen if Microsoft 
allows users to customize it and build add-ons for different needs.
 
If they continue to develop it over the next one or two years then I think NVDA 
usage will get a big setback. 
For now the super users can keep testing and evaluating it.

Hi All


Narrator has really taken off ultimately in the latest update on Win10.


I would urge all the computer training centers to focus on narrator as a screen 
reader.

 There are plenty of enhancements as a result of which it is now 
possible to switch to it as a primary screen reader. Although the key 
combinations are not intuitive one will have to invest sometime on it.

To check if you are running the latest build of Win10, Run narrator and type 
the combination of caps+ a,  a few times. If it keeps increasing the verbosity 
level, this can be a easy test. The old build had only two states as a toggle.

A very unique feature which is new is that it can now describe any image using 
artificial intelligence.

Re: [AI] Twitter

2017-06-25 Thread Aruni Sharma
Hi, if you want to use twitter through browser, try google chrome and
twitter shortcuts. I am easily using all the features with reasonably good
speed. you must keep the vertual cursor off while using shortcuts. However,
I must mention that I am using NVDA as my only screen reader.

Re: [AI] About Cheque facility to Customers Using LTI.

2017-03-14 Thread Aruni Sharma
Hi, Rbi has instructed banks to facilitate the use of all services
including cheque facility. But the convenient argument from the bank side
is that they do not have any LTI verification method. Though I convinced my
bank to issue a cheque book,, they have told me that  my cheques will only
be entertained if the signatures match exactly, which  is not the case 99%
of times. This has effectively barred me from using cheques for banking
transactions.

Re: [AI] BGFI invites Android & IOS users to make bhim app accessible.

2017-02-23 Thread Aruni Sharma
Hi. I have use the app on both iOS and android. It has bugs on both the 
platforms as far as exes ability is concerned. In IOS there is no way one can 
return to the previous screen or menu. This is the same issue which some other 
banking apps like SBI freedom hs. Once you enter a submenu there is no way you 
can perform another operation without exiting the ap and signing in again. 
Android has issues while signing up and logging in.

Re: [AI] 3rd Anniversary of Talking ATM India

2017-02-14 Thread Aruni Sharma
Hi according to the app all the Union bank T=ATMs in our viscinity are
talking ATMs but none of them give any voice guidance. Have tried all
earphones: the normal ones, and those supplied with the mobiles. This is
really disheartening but obviously fault lies with the incorrect info being
provided by the concerned banks. Please take up the issue if possible.

Re: [AI] my reaction on and review of Kabil in scroll

2017-02-05 Thread Aruni Sharma
That's an excellent piece of review. Congratulations and all the ery best.
Have shared it on my facebook and twitter. The film is a commercial one and
we should not expect reality bytes from it. However, it is a very nice and
thrilling story quite well presented. It will surely go a long way for the
cause of awareness.

Re: [AI] Feedback on TalkBack

2017-01-06 Thread Aruni Sharma
Hello Akash, that's a very good  move indeed. The talkBack eam at google is
not very responsive and forthcoming on accessibility challenges in TalkBack.
First of all, the latest talkback has stopped announcing Caller ID on
incoming calls.
@Secondly, it would be nice if TB starts supporting OpenOffice.
Thanks for now.
Looking forward to fruitful interactions.

[AI] New drug to treat blindness

2008-03-14 Thread Aruni Sharma
New drug to treat blindness
London (PTI): A ray of hope for millions of visually challenged people 
worldwide! A new drug to
treat common forms of blindness is all set to go for clinical trial.
Researchers at the University of Bristol have developed the drug to 
treat eye diseases affecting
the elderly and diabetics, such as age-related muscular degeneration 
(AMD) and diabetic etinopathy,
the British media reported on Friday.
The research team, led by Prof Dave Bates and Dr Steve Harper of the 
varsity's Microvascular
Research Laboratories, has identified a novel, naturally occurring form 
of a compound which
inhibits the formation of new blood vessels -- a major cause of the 
"wet" type of AMD and also
diabetic retinopathy. The research has been funded by Britain's leading 
eye research charity, Fight
for Sight.
The news of the drug comes just days after scientists in the United 
States had claimed that a
bionic eye which can restore sight to the blind would be available 
commercially within two years.
The second-generation device, current being trialled, consists of three 
elements. First, a
miniature camera worn in a pair of dark glasses, which transmits images 
to a radio receiver
implanted near the patient's eye.
This then sends a signal on to a tiny silicon and platinum chip, about 
four millimetre square, that
sits on the retina. The chip's electrodes stimulate the ganglion cells 
that transmit visual
information to the optic nerve and onwards to the brain, which can then 
construct a visual image.
"A plate is seen as a saucer of light, and a knife as a runway of light. 
It works by building up
images like a dot-matrix printer, or pixels on a computer screen," lead 
researcher Prof Mark
Humayun had said.

Re: [AI] To sign out from google talk

2006-11-11 Thread Aruni Sharma
Hi vetri, you are absolutely right. Google has completely failed to 
address the accessibility issues as far as google talk is concerned. 
Actually there is a status box in the main GT window. one can use  this 
control to change status and also sign out. This is one of the very few 
instances of total inaccessibility. One rarely comes across such 
controls which cannot be accessed even by using jaws cursor. In such a 
situation the only way to sign out is the one you have suggested.

exchange of views, suggestions, problems and solutions about emacspeak 
in particular and linux in general, a new mailing list has been created 
on googlegroups. The address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] You may 
search for emacspeak on googlegroups page and subscribe or send me a 
private mail and I can ad you to the mailing list. However, before you

[AI] Lost? Point your mobile and find your way!

2006-11-01 Thread Aruni Sharma

November 02, 2006 23:34 IST
Visiting your favourite restaurant or pub may no longer be a chore, for 
now pointing your cell phone in a particular direction, can precisely 
establish its location, and the easiest way to get there.
Researchers at Britain's Southampton University have reportedly 
developed a cell phone with interactive information to find local points 
of interest on a map.
According to the research, a system called Map Snapper has been created 
that processes a snapshot of a printed map, captured on camera phone, 
and forwards an interactive version of the same map back to the handset.
Symbols representing points of interest such as restaurants, hotels and 
festivals can be displayed, along with images, contact details and web 
links.
"If someone is out walking and reaches a town, they'll be able to simply 
point their phone at the map and find out places they could go for 
lunch, or other information not on the map," claimed Paul Lewis, who 
developed the system with his colleague Jonathan Hare.
Lewis, however, said that cell phones fitted with GPS (Global 
Positioning System) receivers would not need the technology, and added 
that it is basically applicable in ordinary camera phones.
Lewis and Hare developed the Map Snapper in cooperation with Ordnance 
Survey, the UK government's agency responsible for producing maps.
Map Snapper software on a user's phone first sends a photo of a section 
of map to a central server via GPRS.
"The server uses the image to generate a unique signature for that area 
of the map, and then finds matches in a database of signatures for all 
the [Ordnance Survey] maps published," said Hare.
Along with permanent landmarks, these maps can feature temporary events, 
such as local music festivals. The developers also plan to let users add 
their own information through an online interface.
Mapping experts in Britain have welcomed the new technology, saying it 
adds value to paper maps."
However, both researchers agree that the GPS facility will make the Map 
Snapper redundant eventually.
A search is on for commercial partners for the project.

Re: [AI] Scanning Pen

2006-10-30 Thread Aruni Sharma
Hi vishal, The scanning pen is a sort of handheld scanner it seems. In 
the past such devices have not been very promising. However this pen has 
been claimed to be a very good alternative to the flatbed scanner. You 
can check
www.irislink.com
I think they have some sort of money back guaranty as well. I am not 
very sure though. Please see the site.

Re: [AI] Visually Impaired Access to Ipods by Speech Support

2006-10-26 Thread Aruni Sharma
for the benifit of those who have not opened the link in the mail, I am 
copying the contents.
Rockbox Open Source Replacement For MP3 Firmware Give Visually Impaired 
Access to Ipods by

Rockbox is open source firmware for a range of MP3 players. Started with 
MP3 players from

Archos, now there are beta versions for iRiver and most Ipods.

While most MP3 players are difficult to access by visually impaired, 
Rockbox Firmware

alternative, made by users for users, make MP3 players fully accessible 
for the visually

impaired, because of the build-in speech support.
With Rockbox installed, all menus, directories and files are voiced.

Last week I bought an Ipod Nano. The salesman told me there was just a 
new one with

increased battery life. I told him to give me the old Ipod Nano first 
generation, because I

could not install Rockbox at this moment on that 2nd generation Nano.

I bought an Ipod Nano. Not because I like the Apple firmware, or because 
the Ipod Nano is so

accessible for me as visually impaired. no, because I would an 
accessible device. A MP3

player on which I could install Rockbox.

With most MP3 players I only can play folder by folder, file by file.
As visually impaired I can not change any setting, without the help of a 
sighted person. The

only thing a visually ipaired can do is turning on the MP3 player, 
skipping between audio

files by pressing next and previous buttons and press play, pause and stop.

If you are sighted and are reading this, specially if you are working 
for Apple, close your

eyes and try to find that special song on your Ipod MP3 player?
Did you find it? Is Apple's firmware realy so good, or do you agree with 
me that it is

inaccessbile for millions in this world?

Not only the Ipod itself, is difficult to access, also the Itunes 
software - needed to put

files on the Ipod - has serious accessibility problems.

Another point is the lack of functionality in Apple's Ipod firmware. It 
includes a resume

feature. But everytime I plug the Ipod into the USB port of my computer 
to charge battery,

there is no resume anymore.

I use my MP3 player for listening to music and audio books in Mp3 
format. For listening

audio books a resume feature, that also works after charging the 
battery, is essential.
Rockbox does not only give me a good working resume feature, it also 
stores bookmarks after

stopping listening.

Installation of Rockbox is very easy. There are excelent manuals how to 
install rockbox on

the different MP3 players supported. It is important to first check if 
Rockbox runs on your

MP3 player, before starting the installation.

If your MP3 player can run the Rockbox firmware carefully follow the 
installation

instructions step by step. If you are visually impaired don't forget to 
add a voice file to

your MP3 player, before rebooting your MP3 player.

I did the installation of Rockbox on my Ipod Nano, after reading the 
manual and FAQ, in 10

minutes. After the installation my first thought was, that something was 
going wrong. I

didn't hear the promised audio voicing. That was because after turning 
on the Ipod with the

Rcokbox firmware, you get the File Browse screen. To get speech in that 
screen you first

have to enable Voicing files and categories.
You can do this by first pressing the Menu button. If the installation 
was successful and

you didn't forget to put a voice file in the langs sub-directory of your 
.rockbox directory,

your MP3 player starts voicing to you.

In the main menu select General Settings and in the General Settings 
menu select Voice.

After enabling all voice options, everything will be voiced to you.

After installing Rockbox and enabling all voice options I realy was 
impressed by Rockbox.
Now I have random access to all my audio files. Via de excelent 
bookmarking features I can

get back to audio files at the point I stopped listening them. Now I can 
switch fast

between audio books and music. Time and date are voiced to me now. I can 
change Playback

settings I couldn't do before. I can check the battery level, I couldn't 
do before.
I can now start playing just that song by browsing through the folders 
and files, while

Rockbox is spelling them to me.

The open source Rockbox MP3 Player firmware community did what companies 
with high profits don't do. The Rockbox community made MP3 players 
accessible for
visually impaired. The Rockbox project shows, that it is possible to 
make mainstream devices accessible to everybody. The Rockbox community 
shows, that
there is no reason for companies like Apple, Microsoft, IBM, Sony, 
iRiver, Archos, creative etc. to make products, that are hard to access 
by visually
impaired.

I hope the above mentioned companies will donate to the Rockbox project 
and give them information about porting Rockbox to new MP3 palyer 
models, instead
of protecting their inaccessibility!

[AI] Disability insurance still alien to India

2006-10-25 Thread Aruni Sharma
 Disability insurance still alien to India

By IBNlive.com
Wednesday October 25, 07:13 PM

New Delhi:
 Rahul (name changed) was abandoned at an orphanage in New Delhi four 
years back. The reasons are obvious - he is disabled.
Hundreds of babies like him are deserted every year by parents who can 
make no place in their lives for disabled children.
In India there are at least four companies that have insurance policies 
for unborn children that covers them for disability after birth. But 
unfortunately, there are few takers.
AGM, New India Assurance Company H P Singh says, "There is a policy that 
we offer that protects children against disabilities, but we have sold 
very few because Indian parents are very superstitious by nature and 
they think that by going in for a policy like this would mean bad luck."
Take New India Assurance Company for example. Their Unborn Child Welfare
Insurance scheme has been around since 1987. But to date, they have hardly
sold more than 200 policies.
The policy offers an insurance of Rs 75,000 for a one time premium of Rs 
1,500. And the policy covers a range of disabilities for new born babies 
from lung and heart defect to physical disabilities.
However, parents like Pooja and Pankaj Sharma who have just had baby 
Ananya are
not convinced that such policies do expectant parents any good.
"There is such a positive energy all around when you're expecting a 
baby. The last thing you need is a policy like this to put that seed of 
thought in your mind that some thing might go wrong," says Pankaj Sharma.
Paediatricians are stunned are what they call a typical situation where 
superstition prevails over logic especially since treating disability in 
children runs into lakhs and a little monetary help would always be 
welcome.
With most parents unable to afford the expensive medical treatment, it's 
the children who have to pay the price.
To make matters worse, companies who offer such policies haven't made 
much of an effort to market them.
Says Paediatrician A K Gulati, "I think it is ridiculous to say that its 
bad luck because one in three live births are disabled children. Also 
these insurance companies need to approach doctors instead of parents 
because hardly any one knows about these policies"
There are lakhs of children who are born with some kind of disability 
every year in India. Their lives could have been much better if their 
parents had taken out a disabilty insurance.
But hope of new perfect life inevitably overrides caution. When shopping 
for coloured clothes for a baby to come, a disability insurance probably 
seems far too gloomy.

Re: [AI] fm feature apart from nokia 3230

As far as I know, 6630 and 6681 or one of them has the fm feature. Both 
of these are and specially the latter is very popular among the list 
members. It would be a good idea to go for one of these models.

Re: [AI] Internet explorer 7

2006-10-22 Thread Aruni Sharma
Hello friends, I tried installing the IE 7. It asked me to verify the 
windows copy which was found to be all right. However, the machine did 
not start properly after IE 7 was installed. I got send error report 
button etc regularly and the problem was rectified only after I did a 
system restore. However, as far as I could see there was not problem 
with IE7 and jaws 7.0. Any suggestions in this regard? I would like to 
use IE 7.

Re: [AI] does jaws7 support 'Opera' browser?

2006-10-17 Thread Aruni Sharma
None of the jaws versions supports opera at present and chances are 
scarce that any future release would do so. However, Opera has its own 
accessible interface which is not as accessible as the IE or Firebox 
with jaws. But it is good enough and with some practice one can master 
it. What jaws does and other screen readers lack in the case of opera is 
that the links and controls are announced as you navigate to them. 
Please look at the key board commands of opera in order to get help.

Regards,
Aruni.

[AI] Portable office from phone-pc `sangam'

2006-10-15 Thread Aruni Sharma

 Portable office from phone-pc `sangam'
Anand Parthasarathy

This Blackberry gels well with corporate networks

BANGALORE: Is that a souped up mobile phone with a few computer 
features? Or, a pocket PC with wireless telephony thrown in? It may soon 
be impossible to tell. The phone-PC `sangam' or convergence has created 
a number of devices that seamlessly merge the twin worlds of computers 
and communication.
Blackberry, the pioneer product from Canada, in the niche called `smart 
phone,' has just launched a new handset for India that allows executives 
on the move — or the merely footloose — to browse the Internet, send and 
receive emails, integrate smoothly with their office networks and access 
all productivity applications they might have in their home PC or 
corporate desktop machine. And oh yes, the Blackberry 7130g also 
produces great voice quality when you use it as a mere phone.
In recent days, the parent company, Research In Motion (RIM), has 
expanded its presence in India. Its products and services are available 
both with Airtel and more recently through Hutch in some circles — 
Punjab and Haryana — for a start. There is speculation that the company 
may also announce a tie-up with Reliance.
That will drastically extend the Indian footprint of Blackberry, which, 
since its global launch in 1999, has acquired over 5.5 million 
subscribers and made its brand name something that the globe trotting 
hotshot executive is proud to mouth. "I'll Blackberry you from 
Singapore," is their way of displaying their high-tech, always-connected 
status.

The Hindu
was provided with one of the first 7130g handsets for evaluation.
`Smart' software
The size seems to have shrunk marginally since the chunky smart phones 
first hit the market.
The access to the Internet via the mobile service provider (we were 
given a set with an Airtel connection) is smooth and intuitive. The 
small keyboard is a clever compromise between a full QWERTY computer and 
a typewriter keyboard and a numeric pad that mobile phones provide to 
send text messages. There is a key for every letter, but some of them 
double up for the numerals.
The software is supposed to be `smart:' it tries to anticipate what you 
are typing and complete the word... not always with success. Apparently, 
one has to use this Blackberry for sometime before it learns your 
writing quirks — just as one house-trains a pet dog.
The 7130g uses the latest Intel XScale chip and 64 megabytes of Flash 
memory as well as 16 MB of Random Access Memory, not a great deal but 
adequate for most mobile office applications. It costs just under Rs. 
24,000, which is almost as much as a good desktop PC. But one has to pay 
a price for shrinking it all to pocket size.
In India, RIM is reaching out not just to owners of the Blackberry but 
also to other smart phone users, through its Enterprise Server, a canny 
move to carve out a larger market for its services.
This may soon be put to the test. Palm, one of the early pocket PC 
players, has just launched its latest `Treo' phone aimed for the first 
time at non-corporate users.
Other smart phone makers can also be expected to address the Indian 
market, now that the Government has started the process of licensing 3G 
or third generation spectrum that all the main mobile providers are 
bidding for. For the customer on the move, it may be a case of "the more 
the merrier (and cheaper)."

[AI] jaws 8 beta coming soon

2006-10-09 Thread Aruni Sharma
Hi listers, I heard in one of the podcasts that jaws 8 would be released 
before the end of this year and the beta versions would be out sooner 
than that. The most important adition is that the freedomscientific is 
adding another synthesizer called real speak solo. It really sounds 
good. So Whoever is planning to purchase jaws may wait for some more 
time in order to get the latest  software.
