[AI] Fw: Mobile Speak 5.6 for Symbian is now available
Code Factory Press Release - Original Message - From: Code Factory News (no reply) To: gsaini...@gmail.com Sent: Thursday, July 28, 2011 7:55 AM Subject: Mobile Speak 5.6 for Symbian is now available Caroline Ragot - Marketing market...@codefactory.es Mobile Speak 5.6 for Symbian Mobile Speak 5.6 for Symbian is now available Support for Nokia Internet Radio, global copy & paste shortcuts, support for emoticons, support for Catalan language, support for new firmware versions and more Terrassa (Barcelona), Spain, July 28th, 2011 This might be a record in the history of Code Factory development, only three and a half weeks to provide its users with a new feature-packed update of Mobile Speak. It seems that this year the seasons are reversed, summer time is Christmas time! “One day after sending V5.5 to sign to the Symbian test house, Nokia launched an updated firmware version for many popular devices and some of our accessibility got broken. We were attending the NFB convention in Orlando a couple of days later and everyone was waiting for this new version of Mobile Speak supporting new devices and featuring new functionality. We didn’t know at that time how long it would take us to support this new firmware so we preferred not to postpone the release of V5.5,” explained Eduard Sánchez, Code Factory’s CEO. “Therefore right after releasing V5.5 our development team put all their efforts into supporting the new firmware updates, but they went further than that. One more time, they reviewed the list of features requested by our users and beta testers, picked up a few of them and added more functionality to this update.” Main highlights of Mobile Speak 5.6 are: a.. Support for new firmware versions which were released in June 2011 on the following 9.3 and 5th edition devices: C5-00, E5, E52, E72, 6700 slide, C6-00, C5-03, 5230, 5235, 5250, 5530, 5800, X6, N97 mini. Specific items which changed in this firmware and which now work correctly again are: Web browser, Email, Built-in Help screens, Standby screen's horizontal shortcut list and Symbol table. b.. Support for Nokia Internet Radio: Internet Radio is a free application which allows you to listen to radio stations from all over the world via the Internet. It is supported on a wide range of devices, from Symbian 9.1 through to the latest Symbian Anna phones. It comes pre-installed on many devices (check inside the Music, Radio or Applications folders), while on others it will need to be installed. Since it uses the Internet, make sure that you either have a WLAN connection active or are using a data plan, to avoid data charges. Stations can be browsed by many categories including type of music, language, country or popularity. Favorite stations can be saved so that they can easily be accessed later. c.. Global copy and paste shortcuts: Mobile Speak v5.60 adds new commands for Copy (Command + 6 from the Default layout) and Paste (Command + Long 6 from the Default layout). The Copy command will copy the last spoken text, as determined in the list of the last 5 texts spoken in Command + *. You therefore have the possibility to copy any of the last 5 items spoken, simply press Command + * until you hear the desired text, and then press Command + 6 for this text to be copied. You can then move to any writable edit field (e.g. writing an SMS or email, notes, address field or anywhere else where you would normally write text) and press Command + Long 6 to paste the text at the current cursor position. This powerful tool will be useful in many situations, for example when copying text or links in the web browser and pasting them into an email or SMS message. d.. Support for emoticons (smileys): A large number of devices from Symbian 9.3 and above have built-in Emoticon support in the Messaging application. Mobile Speak will now read these emoticons when they are encountered when reading and writing SMS messages. When writing an SMS, these emoticons can be added either by writing the appropriate symbols, or by using the emoticon symbol table which is available on these supported devices (either under the Options menu, by pressing * or, on QWERTY devices, by pressing the Symbol key). In addition, support is also provided for a number of common emoticons in all applications, even on devices which do not have built-in emoticon support. The list of supported emoticons, along with the symbols of which they are composed, is found in the Mobile Speak manual. e.. Support for the Catalan language. The addition of the Acapela Catalan Laia voice and Catalan software localization. f.. Updated Acapela Czech Eliska voice package, to include patch from Acapela which should fix some problems with the character C. Note that no other voice packages have changed since v5.50. g.. Many other improvements and bug fixes, as detailed in our User Manual here http://www.codefactory.es/descargas/family_4
[AI] mobile speak V 5.5
Caroline Ragot - Marketing market...@codefactory.es Mobile Speak 5.5 Mobile Speak 5.5 for Symbian is now available! Support for Symbian Anna, Nokia E6 & X7, Graphics labeler, Nokia Search app, Nokia Help menus, New Acapela voices, and more. Terrassa (Barcelona), Spain, July 1st, 2011 Code Factory is proud to announce a new version of Mobile Speak for Symbian, v5.5. Only three and a half months after the release of V5.0 at the San Diego CSUN conference, the developers of the Spanish company are showing us that they are still strongly committed to Symbian. "At Code Factory our two current priorities are Symbian and Android. In less than 4 years Android has reached a 35% smartphone market share and Symbian has lost its leadership position. However Symbian remains the most advanced platform for screen reading technology and this is why we keep investing development resources in Nokia smartphones," explained Eduard Sánchez, Code Factory's CEO. "Symbian Anna, the latest flavor of the Nokia OS is faster, simpler and better. The Nokia E6 is a fantastic phone. It has enough keys to do everything without having to use the touchscreen and Mobile Speak 5.5 works just great on it," added Eduard. Support for upcoming Symbian Anna firmware upgrade and latest Nokia smartphones a.. Symbian^3 Anna is the latest operating system available on all Symbian^3 phones. It comes built-in with the Nokia E6 and X7, while it is available as a recommended software upgrade for other Symbian^3 devices (N8, E7, C7 and C6-01). For users of Mobile Speak, Symbian^3 Anna provides an improved user experience when navigating around lists and menus in Keypad or Joystick modes, since it will in general maintain focus on one of the list items when opening a new list. All apps and features supported in previous versions of Symbian^3 are also supported in Symbian^3 Anna, including the new web browser and email client. b.. Added support for recently released Nokia E6 and X7 devices. The E6 is certain to be a popular choice for blind and visually impaired users who prefer the traditional QWERTY keyboard interface. It is physically very similar to other candybar-shaped QWERTY phones like the E71, E72 or E5. All standard keys are present except for the soft keys. However, Mobile Speak reorganizes the use of the keys while it is loaded: the Calendar Key (to the left of the joystick and below the Menu key) has been modified to act as the left soft key, and the Contacts key (to the right of the joystick and below the Email key) to be the right soft key. This means that it is not necessary to use the touch screen at all to have full access to the E6 (except for a couple of gestures in apps like the web browser, to bring up the web options grid). The default Command key is the Email key on the E6 and the Camera key on the X7. Graphics Labeler a.. Mobile Speak v5.5 introduces a graphics labeler. This powerful tool allows many images, graphics and icons to be labeled so that a specific text phrase can be spoken whenever the graphic is encountered on the screen. b.. By default, some graphics are already labeled when you install Mobile Speak v5.5 (e.g. when adding an entry to the calendar on some devices such as the C5 or any Symbian^3 phones, there are icons next to each field to indicate their meaning). However in most other places, you will need to add your own labels. This can be done in a very straightforward manner using the Review Cursor (Command + 3). c.. Graphics labels are stored in an XML file and can be easily shared between devices. Support for new apps and new voices a.. New Acapela HQ voices: US English Tracy, French Antoine, Spanish Ines, Danish Rasmus, Indian English Deepa, Finland Swedish Samuel and Italian Fabiana. In addition, all Acapela HQ voices, as well as Czech Sabrine, French Caroline and Spanish Javier, have been updated. b.. Support for the phone's online Help (User Guide) in most phones where it previously was not accessible (i.e. Symbian 9.3 and all Touch phones). These pages are found as an option by pressing the left soft key in most system applications. As soon as these help pages are opened on these devices, their full contents will start to be read, without the need to press any shortcuts. They can then be read in a very convenient way, using the same shortcuts available when reading emails in the new Nokia email client (e.g. 2 to jump to top, 8 to jump to bottom), or read by word/sentence/paragraph etc by using Mobile Speak shortcuts in the reading layout. c.. Support for the phone's Search application (available on most devices from Symbian 9.2 and above). This powerful application allows you to rapidly search for specific content on your device. You can enter a search string and all results will be shown and updated as you type. Search categories include: Music, Contacts, Calendar, Messages, E-mail, Bookmarks, Images, Videos, Applications, Note

Today, Code Factory’s development team is proudly saying to the world “YES WE CAN” by announcing Mobile Speak’s support for free step-by-step navigation using Nokia Ovi Maps! “When Wayfinder announced the end of Wayfinder Access and our Symbian users were left without any other accessible GPS solution for Nokia phones, we knew we had to make something work. Our commitment towards our users justified the decision to take on this new technical challenge and the big investment it represented for Code Factory,” explained Eduard Sánchez, Code Factory’s CEO. “We at TalkNav are delighted that Code Factory has taken this step to empowering Symbian handset users to access the Ovi Maps product. With the demise of the Wayfinder Access GPS solution, Symbian users had been left quite literally stranded, other than opting for a change of platform,” says Neil Barnfather, TalkNav owner and former Wayfinder Access dealer. “Code Factorys efforts in making Ovi Maps accessible to this significant number of blind and low vision users represents the true emphasis that this company puts on making its products the very best that they can be” added Neil. With Mobile Speak 4.60 you can use versions 3.03 and 3.04 of Ovi Maps in an accessible way to: a.. Find and track your current GPS position. b.. Start walking or driving and get automatic notifications when streets change. c.. Search for specific addresses, points of interest and others locations such as hotels and restaurants. d.. Create, edit, follow and save a route in Walk or Drive mode. e.. Bookmark your favourite places and routes, or create your own collection of favourite points of interest. f.. Execute Ovi Maps and specialized Mobile Speak shortcuts when in Map, Walk or Drive mode. For example, when following a route, press 1 to speak the next turn, 2 to save your current position, 3 to search a point of interest browsing by categories, 7 to bring up a list of route points, 8 to speak the distance to the destination and its direction, 9 to display a dashboard with information about distance, speed and time, or Clear to speak your current position. g.. Configure new Mobile Speak settings to customize your Ovi Maps experience. h.. To learn more about Mobile Speak’s Ovi Maps support, please read our FAQ at http://www.codefactory.es/en/products.asp?id=414 and consult Chapter 14 of our user manual at http://www.codefactory.es/descargas/family_4/ms46_userguide_symbian.html#_Toc278193846 Mobile Speak 4.60 comes FREE for all Mobile Speak 4.xx users and is now available for download at http://codefactory.es/en/downloads.asp?id=347 It is important to check if your version of Nokia Ovi Maps and your phone are compatible: a.. Supported versions of Nokia Ovi Maps: v3.03 and v3.04. These versions provide free step-by step pedestrian and car navigation. b.. Nokia phones that work with v3.03 and v3.04 of Nokia Ovi Maps: E66, E71, N86, C5, E5, E52, E55, E72, E73, 6710, 6720, 6730, 6760, 5230, 5800, N97, N97 mini, C6, and X6 Note that only the above Ovi Maps versions and Nokia devices are supported by Mobile Speak 4.60. If you use any other version or device, Code Factory cannot guarantee the correct functionality with Ovi Maps, so before upgrading your version or device, please make sure it is supported. In addition to Ovi Maps support, V4.60 also includes: a.. Support for 3 new devices: Nokia 5228, Nokia 5250, and Nokia E55. b.. Support for Mobile Magnifier in all Nokia touch devices with new features especially designed for touch-screens such as the touch magnification lens which can be used in Stylus mode. c.. Support for Mobile Magnifier in various 3rd edition phones where it previously was not supported: Nokia N86, Nokia E75, Nokia N85, Nokia 5730 and Nokia 6220. d.. Easier way to execute commands using a touch-screen: On pressing the Command key, the touch mode will automatically change to Keypad mode while the Command key is active, regardless of the current touch mode. This allows all Command key shortcuts to always be easily accessible, since all keys can be simulated in Keypad mode. Very useful when using the magnification lens in Stylus mode. e.. When "Battery/Signal always" is set to "On" in the Verbosity tab, the current time, battery level, signal level and operator will be spoken when entering into the standby screen from a differ

However, since I used my previous sim which has all my contacts stored so I know them all and I search them by typing a few innitial alphabates. 2. Talks crashes when opening profiles and screen goes totally black for few seconds and resumes automatically with talks reading the standby screen. 3. You can't make an outgoing call with talks running; you will have to mute it before pressing the call button. If you don't do so, and press the call button, the above mentioned thing will happen and you will be landed on the main window (Standby). 4. Soft key2 (command to anounse caller's name when incoming call is there) doesn't work. Pressing this key to hear the caller's name also would yeald the same result. and you will not be able to take that call. (call gets disconnected and phone returns to main window).

I have done my education in sighted schools and colleges, so I didn't have knowledge about the different ways how VI people do things. Then I came to know about an organization named Enable India situated in Bangalore which gives computer training to VI people and helps in their employment. So here I did my Basic computer course with the help of screen reader JAWS. One of my friends told me about the AccessIndia mailing lists, and when I went through the archives of this mailing list I found it to be a very informative and interesting place to gain knowledge about concerns relating to VI persons. So I subscribed to it. I am looking forward to know more about computers and the different other concerns relating VI people. Thank you Awaiting for your reply eagerly. Please reply at the earliest.

Insight into women's prison life S. Vijay Kumar CHENNAI: R. Priya, a visually challenged girl of V.V.V. College for Women in Virudhunagar, had an unusual project in mind for her M.Phil dissertation - 'Rehabilitation programme for women at the Vellore special prison.' In a rare gesture, the Prison Department permitted Ms. Priya to interview 50 of the 72 convicts lodged in the special prison. Many of them were serving a life sentence. "They were very kind to me and answered all my questions. Besides the rehabilitation aspects, I focussed on their socio-economic background. Almost all the women inmates are illiterates and hail from a rural background," Ms. Priya says. According to her, many women prisoners confessed that they committed crimes because they were left with no option. "Harassment by drunken husbands and extramarital affairs are common reasons for their taking the extreme step. There are some aged women convicted for female infanticide and dowry deaths." A majority of the inmates expressed satisfaction over the facilities at the prison. However, some opined that vocational courses such as tape and thread making were decades-old employment schemes introduced during the British regime. Such skills would not fetch employment on release. They wanted better income-generating programmes, the girl quoted the prisoners as saying. This was not the first venture of Ms. Priya. When she was a post graduation student in a Madurai college, she did a project on the life convicts in Madurai central prison. Her father runs a tea shop at Anna Nagar, Madurai. "I want to do Ph.D based on the living conditions of prisoners in Tamil Nadu and recommend measures that will make their life easy," she added. Director-General of Prisons R. Natraj said the student's request for project work in the Special Prison for Women in Vellore was considered as a special case. She showed keen interest in understanding the life of women convicts, he added.

[AI] GPS in more MTC buses
GPS in more MTC buses P. Oppili CHENNAI: The Metropolitan Transport Corporation will introduce Global Positioning System (GPS) facility in 500 buses by the end of this year. At present, 55 buses plying on two routes Tambaram - High Court and Tambaram - Avadi have the GPS installed in them. The facility helps passengers waiting at a bus stop to track the movement of a particular bus, fitted with GPS, by following the information displayed on a board fixed at select bus stops. This would help the passengers use the MTC services according to their convenience, said a Transport Department official. The World Bank had provided a grant of Rs 3 crore for this initiative. The International Institute of Information Technology, Bangalore, is the nodal agency for monitoring the project, said an officer of the Transport Department. In order to fix the display boards connected to the GPS, new bus shelters would be constructed in the city and its suburbs. While the MTC has control over nearly 450 bus shelters, the Chennai Corporation has control over nearly 350 bus shelters. They would be renovated and the work would begin soon, said the Transport Department officer told The Hindu.

Two-way interaction will also be possible for the Skype users, says Dr. Gurumurthy. If students are unable to synchronise their timings with the lesson being taught in Chennai, they will be able to download a recorded lesson from a server here, she said. The Computer Science Department is helping to sort out the technical details. More practical training can be held during visits to Chennai or at the university's distance education centres across the world. Tests will be conducted online.

CHENNAI: The Central Bureau of Investigation move to gather information through short messaging service (SMS) and e-mail on corrupt practices in Central Government establishments has evoked good response from the public. According to sources in the agency, a special team of the Anti Corruption Branch has received hundreds of SMS messages and e-mails since the initiative was launched on August 1. Christened 'Fight Against Corruption,' the CBI's SMS message was sent to at least 10 million mobile phone users in Tamil Nadu and the Union Territory of Puducherry through telecom operators, who agreed to do it free. The SMS message calls for complaints of corruption in Central Government offices/Banks/Public Sector Undertakings. With an assurance that the details of the sender would be kept strictly confidential, the agency sought inputs through SMS (9444049224), email ( [EMAIL PROTECTED]) and voice call (044-28255899). "We are receiving an average of 30 SMS [messages] and an equal number of emails and phone calls every day from people across the State on specific information about corruption in various offices. Inputs on State Government establishments are being forwarded to the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption. This mechanism is not only to generate information but also to create awareness among the public," a senior CBI official said. Every piece of information, be it through SMS or email, was being stored and processed systematically under the direct supervision of senior officials. "There are some motivated or biased inputs. We are not taking direct action on any complaint. The CBI has its own time-tested methodology of verifying the complaints. While information would be kept secret, details of informers (senders) will not be revealed under any circumstances," the official said. Encouraging response This system of involving the public in giving information was first tried out by the CBI in Mumbai where the response was encouraging. "This is an opportunity for the people to expose corrupt officials. We are getting some good inputs...our job will be to develop the information by ascertaining its genuineness and initiate subsequent action. The sender need not be the complainant," he said, adding that the initiative would be a deterrent to corrupt practices.

[AI] Keep three P.G. Assistant posts vacant: court
Keep three P.G. Assistant posts vacant: court Special Correspondent CHENNAI: The Madras High Court has ordered that three posts of P.G. Assistant (Commerce) in schools to be kept vacant until further orders. Passing interim orders on a petition filed by three visually handicapped persons, who said they were postgraduates in commerce with B.Ed and M.Phil qualifications, Justice N. Paul Vasanthakumar ordered notice. In the common writ petition, B. Jayaraman of Villupuram district and two others said the Social Welfare and Nutritious Meals Scheme Department issued an order, dated December 3, 2007, providing for employment for 200 visually handicapped graduates and postgraduates in Tamil and history in high and higher secondary schools. Special measure This special arrangement was meant to eradicate unemployment among the visually handicapped. An implementing G.O. was passed by the School Education Department in May this year to fill 100 posts in Tamil and 100 posts in history with visually handicapped candidates in high and higher secondary schools. pursuance The petitioners submitted that besides those with Tamil and history, the number of visually handicapped graduates and postgraduates with B.Ed, M.Ed. and M.Phil qualifications in commerce, economics, music and political science were waiting for employment for several years after registering themselves with the employment exchange. They said the impugned orders were discriminatory and unconstitutional. "Call for records" The petitioners urged the court to issue a writ calling for the records relating to the two orders and quash them. http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/thscrip/print.pl?file=2008081059880600.htm&date=2008/08/10/&prd=th&; Source: "The Hindu", date: 10-08-2008 Join Access India convention: For updates on it visit: http://accessindia.org.in/harish/convention.htm Registration is now open!

[AI] Interview - T.V. Raman, Research Scientist, Google.
Interview - T.V. Raman, Research Scientist, Google. Cracking the Code of Accessible Search by Dan Jellinek. It was revealed this month that Google has become the fifth biggest company in the US, bigger even than McDonalds and Disney: a reflection of the fact that the way we search the internet has become one of the most important parts of our lives. As no-one with a disability or who works with or is close to someone with a disability needs reminding, the desires and needs of people with disabilities are precisely the same as those of everybody else, which means that searching the internet is high on their list, too. Google was always a highly usable site, one of the secrets of its success: simple and functional and text-based, which means it is fairly accessible already to people navigating the internet using text-to- speech converters or other special access technologies. But in recent years the company has realised that it is not just access to the search interface, but browsing the results; and even the accessibility of the sites returned as results that dictates how accessible the whole search experience has become. The man charged with looking at these issues for Google is research scientist T.V. Raman. Based at Google HQ in Mountain View, California, Raman is responsible for developing Google Accessible Search ( http://labs.google.com/accessible/ ), a trial version of the Google search interface that is designed to be easier to use by people with impaired vision or other disabilities, including a system of ranking search results according to the accessibility of the site. "My job is to look at what Google technology can do for users with disabilities: to make sure it works with assistive technology, and also to look at what we can build to help in new ways," he told E-Access Bulletin in an exclusive interview recorded during a UK trip last month. "Search is very useful for people with impaired vision, but one of the things I had observed over the years is that websites returned on the third, fourth or fifth page of results were often the most easy to read. "I built accessible search last year to address this. It is not a different one: it is Google, the same index, the same magic. But it swaps the order of search results depending on whether they are easy to read." To make this assessment, the software looks at a group of 'design patterns' such as whether the HTML code is clearly structured; whether the page makes sense with images turned off; how the page uses colour; and whether the page can be used without a mouse. "It looks at a whole bunch of things, some positive, some negative. And it gets trained: using user feedback on the results, it is trained to learn over time about which sites are the most useful." The accessible search tool is still in development, though it is publicly available through the Google testbed area 'labs.google.com'. While still primarily marketed by word of mouth, the ultimate goal is to make it a choice on the main Google home page, T.V. said. As befits a multi-billion pound technology company, these days Google's activities extend far beyond its initial core offering of an internet search engine, and T.V.'s work also includes looking at the wider range of Google's work such as web-based software and desktop tools to try to ensure that these, too, are as accessible as possible. "I am looking at the whole range of Google products that have rich value to people with impaired vision. Blind users for example want simple ways to add events to a calendar." To help people gain access, Google has released the source code to its API (application programming interface)", he said, "and we are also looking for how we can make highly interactive web applications work better with assistive technologies." T.V.'s background is an unusual one for a Silicon Valley high flyer. His initials are a clue: they stand for Tiruvilwamalai Venkatraman, being respectively his ancestral village and his father's name, as is the tradition in Southern India, where he was born, in 1965. Blind since childhood, he had a tough fight on his hands in a society where the barriers to achievement for people with disabilities are far higher than in many more developed countries in the West - barriers of both cost and social attitude. Nevertheless he managed to shine as a student with particular gifts in maths, obtaining a place at the Indian Institute of Technology in Bombay. From there he successfully applied for a place at Cornell University, an Ivy League institution among the best colleges in America, travelling there in 1989 to take a PhD in mathematics. "Taking exams like the GRE [graduate record examination, a test required by many US educational institutions] in the 1980s with the help of a writer was 'interesting' in India - there was a communication gap between [the non-profit educational testing service] ETS in the US that administers the tests (and is well-set up for handling stud

Hello, As you know that unless we protest, Government do not fulfil our demands or needs.

This year too, they have got appointment with the Chief Minister of the State today, through their strong protests only. Let us pray for their demands to be fulfilled.
