Re: [AI] some information needed about the scanners

[Kotian, H P]

Hi
I beg to differ there is derth of accessible content.
I suppose the best strategy is to first check if the content you are looking 
for is already available in etext. You will save the trouble of correcting 
errors.Moreover, you can start reading instantly.
If this fails then OCR is the next bet.

hello access indians,
I have never scanned a book and a novice scanner.
I like to read the e-books/softcopies of the books rather than listening to 
audio books.
having been appointed as a lecturer in English, the necessity of reading has 
increased than before and the dearth of accessible matterials too.
so, what would b your recommendation of a scanner that gives less OCR 
errors/not at all?
it would be an added advantage if it is quick too.
I have not thought about the budget that has to be incurred on it though.

Re: [AI] Retrospect and prospect

[Kotian, H P]

Hi
Thanks for the greetings. Wishing everyone a fulfilling 2020.

Well, I would call synthetic vision as a technology enabled vision. It may not 
be the same as what the eye sees it but in a more functional way.

For instance an audio described movie would not be the same as what the eye 
conveys but in a functional way it to some extent substitutes the visual 
perception of that movie.

Presently computer vision API has lots to offer for us and I look forward for 
many products to come out using this API compounded with AI and Machine 
learning.

Good progress is being done in object recognition and these can provide in this 
synthetic vision with reduced latency and with better accuracy.

Warmly
Harish

All

Looking behind at the decade gone by and looking forward towards this new 
decade, my thoughts linger on a few aspects.
I invite you all to crystal gaze on what we can look forward in this decade.

We got the new RPD act. Railways have seen noticeable developments in 
accessibility. Banking has been a mixed bag with more accessible ATMS available 
to us but accessibility of Banking portals and apps has been inconsistent.

Currency notes has taken a nasty beating in accessibility.
 There are signs that coins may be now accessible. However I feel the role of 
currency notes and coins will give way to digital transaction in this coming 
decade.
Transportation by and large will become more accessible and friendlier to the 
disabled. Many more cities will have metros running.
We can look forward for Bullet trains and even hyper loop trains.

There would be drop in petrol and diesel driven vehicle with electricity driven 
vehicle taking its place and of course the self-driving cars would be a reality.

I anticipate that synthetic vision will to a good measure minimize visual 
disability.

I guess work related travel will be considerably reduced. Working environment 
will also see changes. I anticipate the working hours could shrink.

Some job types could be lost and hopefully newer ones will take its place.

Drones will be visiting us bringing all the essentials to us instead of the 
delivery boys.

I see serious concerns on privacy and it will be challenging to have control of 
our mind. Our mind will be highly influenced by technology and substances That 
independent thought and opinion will be an highly endangered specie.
The state and corporates will have a larger say and influence on us. This would 
not be desirable at all.

I feel even AccessIndia will have little need to be around and I don't think it 
could sustain over this decade.
These are my own thoughts and you are free to differ with all or any of these.

That app is very slow in getting the results, further, the Kitna app doesn't 
have the option to turn your torch on, so very difficult to obtain the results 
in a place where there's no proper lighting.

[AI] Not just a ramp, online banking needs to be accessible too

[Kotian, H P]

This mail did not get on the list.
Quoting:

Not just a ramp, online banking needs to be accessible too

I recall, once on my way back from work, my driver stopped at a petrol pump to 
refuel the car. When it was time to pay, I was handed a card swipe machine with 
a touch screen to complete the transaction. Being a blind user, I wondered how 
I was expected to key in my password without a screen reading software 
installed in the machine. The sales representative suggested that I let my 
driver put in the confidential code, which I refused and insisted for a machine 
with a keypad. Reluctantly, the representative got me a machine with a keypad. 
On any keypad or dial pad, the digit 5 is highlighted with a dotted tactile 
impression which helps blind people orient and locate other numbers around to 
press the desired ones.

In another incident, I received a call from my bank's Relationship Manager 
informing me about the recent upgrade of the mobile banking app. When I 
downloaded the updated version and tried to transfer funds using the app, the 
'confirm' button was not read out by the screen reader on my phone, preventing 
me from carrying out the transaction independently. On the contrary, before the 
app upgrade, the process was quite accessible. The state of affairs is such 
that on calling up customer care support to report this glitch, it took me 
half-an-hour to explain to the executive what accessibility of online banking 
means for a person with vision impairment.

On another occasion, I had to take my daughter's help because I was unable to 
click the fund transfer button on my computer even while using the keyboard. 
She was able to help me by maneuvering the mouse on the 'displayed' menu items, 
which I didn't have any way of accessing. Unlike their sighted counterparts, 
blind people like me engage with the digital space using screen readers like 
voice-overs, TalkBack, NVDA (Nonvisual Desktop Access), JAWS (Job Access with 
Speech) through their smartphones or computers. When using computers, we 
navigate using the keyboard's 'tab' or 'arrow' key. Similarly, on the phone, we 
swipe and select through double-tapping on the screen.

Banks and technology developers either lack awareness about accessibility or do 
not consider visually-impaired people an integral part of their user base, 
which is a matter of concern. The fact is that successful blind professionals 
are working across various streams and contribute effectively to the country's 
economy. They rely heavily on banking services, including the monthly 
remunerations to be credited into their accounts.

The Reserve Bank of India mandates that banking should be inclusive for persons 
with disabilities. Inclusion does not merely imply having accessibility 
provisions at the bank. Online banking facilities also need to be made 
accessible. At a time when we have ATMs, internet banking, e-Wallets, Apps and 
other technologically advanced banking services and digital platforms, all 
financial services should be fully accessible. However, the sad reality is that 
only a handful of these services cater to the needs of visually-impaired 
customers.

Denial of accessible banking services further increases the dependence of blind 
citizens on sighted peers making them vulnerable and invading their privacy. 
Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act 2016 mandates that all public 
facilities and services including financial and banking services should be 
accessible to all.

To realize the dream of an 'inclusive' India, first and foremost the 
accessibility barriers need to be broken down.

[AI] Query regarding using IRCTC site

Quoting:



HI FRIENDS, hope you all are fine with good health. I AM BACK WITH another 
query regarding ticket booking through IRCTC mobile app.
Actually when ever I logon to IRCTC, the screen is full of advertisements and 
this creates pain in ticket booking for me. To over come of this.  I have 
started some add blocker. Although it works fine for me, but I have a query 
regarding using IRCTC mobile app with add blockers.
1: as the add blocker creates a private VPN in order to eliminate add 
displaying while browsing, is it safe to use these kind of apps while 
performing transactions? As the transaction will carry over a private VPN.
2: if no. then what should be done to stop unnecessary adds which are displayed 
on the mobile screen? As it takes longer to search the trains and completing 
the booking procedures.
Friends, your reply is awaited.

Re: [AI] Bargaining power being limited by disability

[Kotian, H P]

Hi 
I suppose, your thoughts were around people management taking into 
consideration one's disability.

I think you should express yourself if the occasion demands.One should of 
course be mindful of the circumstance but subordinates to gossip and that to go 
without any response It will only give wrong signals and provide extended 
tolerance,
  You should not allow that to happen. Otherwise you may have to pay dearly for 
it.

It is an  important factor in some cases and in some cases it is the most 
important factor but in some cases it is a trivial factor and in some cases it 
is irrelevant.  
I have found that if I know technology well then sometimes factors become 
irrelevant or trivial. 
If I plan  a little earlier I can mitigate some of the problems that disability 
brings.  
I am only human and sometimes I let go and leave it to others to do things for 
me because it is easier but in the long run my conscience bites me. I suppress 
the feeling and justify to myself that its best left to the sighted. Then I 
pull myself together and try to learn how to do what I had delegated. Sometimes 
I win and sometimes  I give up. With age I guess I am giving up more 
independence but I don’t like it and I have planned on pulling myself together 
and making disability less important or trivial or irrelevant as much as I can.

Disability is a supervening factor.
It affects not only bargaining power, but all facets of life.

Let the deniers deny that endlessly to boast their self confidence.

For Instance, my son is celebrating his eighth birthday today and  I find 
myself highly restricted to do anything significant for the occasion, while my 
wife is busy  arranging and planning without blaming me.

Subject: [AI] Bargaining power being limited by disability

Hi all,
While I have come a long way in terms of acceptance and independenb operation 
with disability, a couple of days back as I was upset with my mother for 
calling out out my domestic help for a filthy kitchen (out of a fear that she 
might not come to work the following day). I experienced a curb on my 
bargaining power principally owing to disability.
I have experienced this feeling on several occasions in the past as well : 
unable to confront Uber drivers for talking on the phone while driving, once 
overpaying  a Rickshaw as he dropped me despite my destination being 
obstensibly out of his way, daily hesitating to check office clerks for 
gosipping loudly near my seat and many more.
While the general answer to this, is greater confidence and independence, I 
believe this too has its own limitations...
While Mumbai has been extremely kind and helpful enabling independent living 
for over  a year, there are occasions where I struggle to call out 
mistreatment/ injustice fearing the repurcussions.
Eagerly await insights.
Best
Turab

[AI] Good and bad news on accessible settop boxes

[Kotian, H P]

Forwarding mail from Prashant which did not make to the list.

Sent: Saturday, October 26, 2019 4:53 PM
To: 'AccessIndia: a list for discussing accessibility and issues concerning the 
disabled.' 
Subject: TV and set top box accessibility: Good and bad news

dDpear all,
As per my experience, the accessibility  with Talkback has reduced in the newer 
Airtel Xstream android set top box. In the home screen now Talkback is not 
reading the app names. When TV channels are changed, it is possible to read out 
the current and next program names with details but the channel name is not 
read out. If anyone has a better experience with  this box then please let me 
know.

The good thing is that even in Android TV OS there is a shortcut to switch off 
and switch on Talkback. If the Accessibility Services Suite is updated, then 
you will find Accessibility shortcut in Settings > Accessibility. Here choose 
Talkback.
At the same location you will see the keys  to be pressed from the remote.

In Airtel Zstream I can press and hold up and down volume keys to switch off 
and switch on Talkback. In Sony Smart TV I am able to do the same by pressing 
and holding the mute key. Pranay, Ketan, I hope you have either  figured this 
out or you are reading this.

Best wishes for Diwali.

[AI] Visually impaired voters welcome Braille initiative

Visually impaired voters welcome Braille initiative
Visually impaired voters welcome Braille initiative
Abhishek Choudhari | tnn | Updated: Oct 22, 2019, 4:56 IST
Pundalik Borde cast his vote by using Braille candidate list
Nagpur: For the first time in polls, visually impaired voters received their 
voter slips in Braille script, making the process of locating their designated 
booths a lot easier. Additionally at the polling booths, they were given a 
ballot sheet in Braille to identify the candidates through their index numbers 
and match the same with those on EVMs.
Rajlaxmi Shah, deputy district election officer, said “We distributed around 
2,800 voter slips in Braille. To ensure that the booth level officers (BLOs) 
are also able to identify where these slips are to be delivered, we published 
the same information in Devnagari script on the backside of the slip.”
Once at their designated booths, visually impaired voters can go through the 
Braille ballot paper to identify their candidates’ index number. Shah said, 
“They use the same EVM and vote according to the index number of their 
preferred candidate.” So, if the voter’s candidate is at number two in the 
ballot sheet, he/she will press the second button on the EVM as the serial 
numbers will match.
Pundalik Borde, a visually impaired voter, said, “For the first time, I was 
able to vote without assistance and it’s a wonderful feeling. Officials present 
at the polling booth handed over to me a Braille list of candidates with their 
index number and symbol. After going through the list thoroughly, I was 
directed towards the EVM.. The candidates’ index number was mentioned on the 
right side of the machine which I read.”
Another voter Manish Thool, however, pointed to an issue which seems to have 
been overlooked by authorities. “There were two EVMs in my booth as there were 
many candidates in fray. One machine had serial numbers from 1 to 16 and other 
machine too had the same numbering system (1-16) instead of continuing the 
order from 17,” said Thool.
“Thankfully, the people present at the booth were very cooperative and it 
helped me cast my vote correctly,” he said.
Another voter Sayeed Moin said this initiative by the Election Commission of 
India has ‘liberated’ them. “I was able to cast my vote without help from 
family or any of the staff members and this filled me with a sense of 
independence,” said Moin.

Re: [AI] Orbit reader 20 not working

[Kotian, H P]

Hi

I really don't know the exact nature of your problem. However, I have observed 
in some other blue-tooth device close of what you have stated.

Quite often we power devices with any charger compatible. As a result we charge 
with a charger with much more power than what it ideally should be.Secondly, we 
charge for longer duration than recommended. The toll actually falls on the 
battery.

We end up ruining the battery and as a result our device fails to work. This is 
also holds good to laptop in someways.

Coming to your issue specifically, I have found with smaller chargers and using 
different cable you may find some combination which actually charges the 
device. If none of them work, you can try different chargers in a shop and even 
that fails, you will have to take it to a technician who will replace the 
battery. Even the non replacement devices's battery can be changed. You may end 
up with some dents.

Harish.

Air travel for passengers with disabilities still stressful
- Times of India

MUMBAI: Not being assured of airline assistance for boarding and deboarding at 
airports, especially foreign ones, can make air travel quite stressful for 
visually impaired solo travellers. A professor from Pune had a difficult time 
early this month after his request for assistance at Johannesburg and Abu Dhabi 
airport was accepted by the airlines only after several protests.
Last week, Sanjay Jain, associate professor at ILS Law College, travelled solo 
to Johannesburg to attend a disabilities conference. He was booked to fly Air 
Tanzania and return on Etihad via Abu Dhabi. He called up the airlines for 
assistance a week before his flight. "I'm visually impaired, I cannot board 
without help," said Jain. "Air Tanzania promptly responded to my request for 
assistance with boarding." With Etihad, it was first a no, then a yes on day 
two, provided he produced a medical certificate. "Then they agreed to assist, 
but refused to send a mail or a screenshot or some kind of documentation that I 
could rely on as proof, if they eventually denied help at the airport. It was 
quite stressful," he said. TOI sent a query to Etihad on September 27. The 
airline did not respond. But on October 3, it did provide assistance to Jain in 
Johannesburg and Abu Dhabi airports.
"Why haven't airlines yet adopted common practices that makes travel easier for 
people with disabilities. Why should we go through such stress before a 
flight?" asked Jain. Airlines global trade body, the International Air 
Transport Association (IATA), in its annual general meeting held this year, had 
unanimously approved a resolution to improve the air travel experience for the 
estimated one billion people living with disabilities worldwide. But it seems, 
there are miles to go before it becomes a reality. On domestic air travel front 
though, much has improved, especially after the 2016 Jeeja Gosh Supreme Court 
judgment, said solicitor Kanchan Pamnani, who has boarded a number of domestic 
flights solo in the past four decades. The Supreme Court Jeeja Ghosh 2016 
judgement has brought much attention to problems faced by passengers with 
disabilities. Disabilities rights activist Ghosh had moved the court after a 
2012 incident, wherein she was offloaded from a SpiceJet Kolkata-Goa flight on 
instructions of the commander. "Even after four years of the said incident 
whenever she has a flashback, she feels haunted with that scene when she was 
pulled out of the plane, like a criminal. She continues to have nightmares," 
read her petition. The petition sought a system under which differently abled 
persons do not suffer this kind of agony, humiliation and emotional trauma 
which amount to doing violence to their human dignity and infringes, to the 
hilt, their fundamental rights under Articles 14 and 21 of the Constitution. 
"Despite that, sometimes I come across staff who aren't well-trained," said 
Pamnani, who is visually impaired. Recently, she was led to wrong end of the 
parking lot as the airline attendant wasn't familiar with the layout of Mumbai 
airport. "There are about one crore visually impaired persons in India," said 
Suhas Karnik, honorary secretary of National Association for the Blind. Karnik, 
who also travels frequently on domestic routes, has largely had good experience 
with airlines. However, airlines could bring about a few changes to make air 
travel easier for these passengers, he said. "Airline crew/staff training needs 
to include a module on how to handle disabled passengers. NAB can help with it. 
We can work with airlines and conduct training for crew," said Karnik.

[AI] Moderator: Breaching list guidelines-RE: Friends of SayEverything, let's be together!

[Kotian, H P]

Dear Amit

I would like to draw your attention on the list guidelines regarding "not 
permitted at all" point 5 which I am reproducing below:
5 advertisements, it may be clarified, there is a difference between providing 
information and misusing the list to sell wares.

In your post, you are soliciting parteners to join your list and as a quidproco 
you are offering incentives.
 This is by all means an advertisement.

As a list administrator yourself, I would have appreciated you should have 
sought prior permission before making this post.

This is not expected especially by you.

I am closing this thread here.
Regards
Harish Kotian

Re: [AI] Amazon’s Echo can now help describe grocery items to the visually impaired

[Kotian, H P]

Hi
I was of an understanding Echo was essentially a blue-tooth speaker with 
virtual assistant built-in.
 Now I figure out it also has a camera. It was listening to the conversation in 
the room all the time. So, is it also watching visually? Pretty scarry.
The feature demonstrated is interesting though although it is also available in 
many apps.

Subject: [AI] Amazon’s Echo can now help describe grocery items to the visually 
impaired

Amazon’s Echo can now help describe grocery items to the visually impaired 
Amazon.com’s virtual assistant just got more intelligent after the company 
revealed Monday that the visually impaired can now ask it what they are holding.
The new feature, called “Show and Tell,” enables customers who are blind or 
people with low vision to hold an item in front of first- and second-generation 
Echo Show devices and ask, “Alexa, what am I holding?” or “Alexa, what’s in my 
hand?” The object will then be identified using Amazon’s machine learning 
technology.
That could be especially helpful for grocery items such as tins and boxes that 
might be hard to identify properly. As Amazon demonstrated in a video, a blind 
person asked Alexa what she’s holding and Alexa replied, “It looks like tea.”
“The whole idea for Show and Tell came about from feedback from blind and low 
vision customers,” said Sarah Caplener, who leads Amazon’s Alexa for Everyone 
team. “We heard that product identification can be a challenge and something 
customers wanted Alexa’s help with. Whether a customer is sorting through a bag 
of groceries, or trying to determine what item was left out on the counter, we 
want to make those moments simpler by helping identify these items and giving 
customers the information they need in that moment.”
Partnering with California-based Vista Center for the Blind and Visually 
Impaired, Amazon worked with visually impaired people to understand the 
problems they have at home and how Alexa could help.
One volunteer who is completely blind called the technology “revolutionary,” 
saying with such devices acting as his eyes, he is much more independent. He 
said he likes to cook, but without the help of a personal assistant, it’s 
impossible to know what spice he is holding. In another example, Alexa 
identifies for him a box of macaroni and cheese.
“It’s essential to work with our customers, not just for them, to create 
something that’s truly helpful,” said Caplener.

[AI] Accessibility of NewsOnAir app

[Kotian, H P]

Hi Everyone

I was using the AllIndiaRadio app earlier. This is accessible both on IOS and 
Android

Yesterday I tried the NewsOnAir app.

I got a pleasant surprise that all the stations of AIR throughout the country 
was available here.

Select list view to make the list of stations accessible.

It will be particularly useful for those who speak some dilect other than the 
main stream ones and you still want to be in touch with it.

This is reasonably accessible on Android but very poor on IOS.


For radio lovers.

Harish.

https://mumbaimirror.indiatimes.noclick_com/opinion/columnists/by-invitation/lets-get-our-act-together/articleshowprint/71088837.cms?prtpage=1
1/2 Printed from Let’s get our Act together Mumbai Mirror | Sep 12, 2019,
06.00 AM IST By Dr Swati Popat Vats The recently concluded Sarva Shiksha awards 
in Delhi, where I was a jury member, were an eye-opener to the sad reality that 
very few schools understand the idea of inclusion. The Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan is 
a programme under the HRD ministry to oversee the implementation of the Right 
to Education (RTE) Act, 2009, which mandates reservation of 25 per cent ofseats 
in schools for students with special needs and those from lower income groups. 
Hundreds ofschools from across the country vied for the awards, but only a 100 
were shortlisted after being judged for RTE admissions on the parameters set by 
the National Accreditation Board for Education and Training. It became clear 
with each presentation how only a handful had a clear idea about the difference 
between inclusion, integration and segregation. Most of them are practising 
either integration or segregation and have convinced themselves that it is 
‘inclusion’. For them, someone from the lower income group is also a special 
child and vice versa. It’s not as if the difference between ‘inclusion’ and 
‘integration’ is subtle. While ‘inclusion’ means similar standards and services 
for everyone, ‘integration’ is same space for everyone availing similar 
standards and facilities. Contrarily, ‘segregation’ is assigning separate 
spaces despite equal access to standards and facilities. Even though the awards 
were for including RTE students, most schools spoke about how they run free 
schools 9/16/2019 Let’s get our Act together
https://mumbaimirror.indiatimes.noclick_com/opinion/columnists/by-invitation/lets-get-our-act-together/articleshowprint/71088837.cms?prtpage=1
2/2 for students from lower income families or extra classes after school 
and/or on weekends for them. This actually defeats the purpose of ‘inclusion’. 
Also participating in the awards function were corporate groups who said they 
offer complete schools, with free uniforms and buses, for lower income 
families; I am sure allfrom their CSR funds, achieving two targets with one 
action. We are forgetting that the RTE Act is not just about free education but 
also about ensuring that everyone engages together. Having a school dedicated 
only to RTE students is, in fact, a type ofsegregation. I also cringed when I 
heard some educationists refer to poor children and those with special needs 
interchangeably. No wonder, they use the same emotion to deal with either – 
pity. And then there were the Super 5, the silver lining of our education 
system. Five private schools displayed photos of their classrooms and 
activities that were true picture of inclusion. A true celebration of RTE Act, 
they practice ‘inclusion’ like no other. A fellow juror asked me what I was 
looking for while judging. I said I was looking for empathy and not sympathy. 
That is what worked for a handful ofschools that passed the test with flying 
colours. While sympathy will get RTE students into the IITs and IIMs, they 
won’t be able to fit in because of the social divide and end up ditching a 
programme or worse. It is empathy that we need; empathy for both RTE students 
and their parents.
The Super 5 schools are exemplary for their focus on IQ (intelligence 
quotient), EQ (emotional quotient) and SQ (social quotient). Children here are 
apparently academically thriving by working together as one and learning to 
share and care. The award here goes to staff training and sensitisation, which 
are the keys to making parents of RTE students ‘comfortable’ with the concept. 
The Super 5 schools removed the ‘class’
divide by laying down common rules for all, be it common uniforms, common 
buses, rules and limits for birthday celebrations and rules and limits for what 
students can bring to school. With a buddy and mentor system, RTE students are 
helped with the basics of hygiene, language and academic related issues. The 
information about what being in their schools entails is sent out as circulars 
to parents in multiple languages. I also feel it’s time to include the 
knowledge and understanding of the RTE Act in our BEd courses, so that teachers

Subject: Re: [AI] List down your accessibility issues with PDFs

Dear all,

At the outset, thank you to everyone for taking their time out to respond to 
this request. My apologies for getting back with a response with some delay, as 
there is a lot going on. I am copying people from Adobe on this email, as my 
intentions are to: (i) get this to their attention that people with blindness 
are not having accessible experience with their beautiful creation, and (ii) if 
they get to a point where they stop supporting us, then we need to find someone 
who can legally compel them to support us to make their PDF accessible.

Please see my response to everyone's email below. Also, if I need some 
information from any specific individual, I have put that as a note:

1. Password protection, scanned PDF, and OCR Issues: The password protection is 
a business need, as at times clients want the functionality of making the 
content so confidential that it cannot be copied, extracted, modified, printed, 
and so on. The real challenge for an assistive technology is that it needs to 
be able to extract the content in form of the text from the underlying source 
code for it to be able to pass on in an accessible manner to a person with a 
disability. The only way you can get around it is to use either a virtual 
printer, or a normal printer, along with re-scanning the printed material and 
performing an OCR. Adobe as a business needs to provide this functionality to 
its clients and getting it out due to it rendering inaccessible content is not 
possible unless someone can try getting them into legal trouble for 
discrimination due to disability in U.S. Indian law and Indian courts cannot 
help us. They should alert authors when they change security settings at a 
point where security settings prevent reading screen readers. As far as scanned 
PDFs are concerned, that is the problem of the content creator. Acrobat Pro 
does provide you the OCR functionality, and it cannot be combined in the 
Acrobat Reader as it comes with a cost and to keep the business running, 
companies need to recover the cost. So far as people using stuff like titles, 
headers, footers, which render inaccurate OCR content, that is again a content 
creator's problem, and there is nothing that Adobe can do about it. So far, my 
recommendation in terms of an OCR is to use ABBYY Fine Reader. I have not come 
across an OCR which is better than that.
 I did mention in my mail, all security features like disable printing etc 
should not be altered for screen readers.They are business requirements and I 
am not asking to change it. Whenever a screen reader opens the PDF document, 
the application is aware of it. By maintaining the protection they have still 
to provide the inputs to the screen reader. This is technically possible so 
don't be carried out with this argument.
Secondly they are free to use open source OCR's like Teserac. They can get bulk 
licence for a small cost, so you need not go soft on that. We need to press our 
requirements
To supplement, it has a speech aloud function to speak out content. This would 
be required to make it a fully accessible solution.

[Note to Bhavani sir: Re the issue of PDF opening in older version and not 
opening in the newer version, If the contents of the PDF are not confidential, 
then please share on an email, and let's try to get Adobe's attention. 
Although, it is not an accessibility issue, but rather a compatibility issue.]

2. Reading non-Unicode PDF files: Reading Hindi and other PDF files which are 
non-Unicode, with screen readers is a challenge. We need to reach out to people 
who have created these fonts to identify the solution. Adobe is only allowing 
authors to create the content in the way they want. As a result, the only 
functionality which Adobe can provide is to be able to render the font in PDF. 
There are Unicode converters available, both free and paid. See if that can 
help you out. Additionally, I will still try my luck with Adobe to see if we 
can find out a solution which renders such fonts in a way which can be read out 
by screen readers. But I must confess, my knowledge is severely limited in this 
area, and I need someone who can educate me in this area to come to a solution. 
The only thing which I understand at this point is that why does the same file 
is capable of being read by a screen reader and why PDF cannot render the same 
functionality.
 Amar Acrobat reader is not Unicode compliant. Once they fix it all the 
Indian Unicode text will be spoken. I don't expect them to fix non Unicode font 
issue.


If anyone can send me a sample, that would be of big help. [Note to Sandeep and 
Rohit bhaiya: 

Re: [AI] List down your accessibility issues with PDFs

[Kotian, H P]

Hi Amar
In addition to those issues pointed below, In many PDF files I have found text 
joined together. The screen reader makes some effort to speak it out but it 
sounds gibberish.
To summarize the points
1 It should be Unicode compliant
2 Any protection applied like print disabled etc. may continue to have the 
restrictions but the text should be available to screen readers.
3 Image PDF files should have OCR to convert into text and the OCR engines 
should be having Indian languages as well.
4 In a save as text option there should be RTF format by which the formatting 
of the document is preserved.
5 Forms should be accessible by screen readers.
6 Arbitrary string concatenation issue should be addressed.
7 Under edit menu to add to select the table. This can help in copying a table.
8 In accessibility selection dialog box the start button does not have a 
keyboard access key. That should be added. Sometimes I have found the tab does 
not go to it.
9 Sometimes when using a browser, the PDF file opens inside the browser Here 
the OCR functionality provided by screen reader too does not work. It is very 
difficult to read that document. The user is forced to save the document first 
and read it later on. The suggestion is when screen reader is active the 
document should open in the stand alone Acrobat reader and not in the browser.

Thanks Amar to take this up.
Harish.

Dear amar,

When ever accessibility features are enabled in Adobe there should be a feature 
to have OCR facility available particularly when it is an image file. This will 
eliminate the cumbersome task of using third party software for conversion of 
image file and files made with non-unicode /ttf fonts in languages like hindi 
into a text file. Some thing that apps like ID or Envision are doing in phone.

Google finds 'indiscriminate iPhone attack lasting years'
Getty Images [The attack affected all models of iPhone, up until the latest 
version, Google's team said]
The attack affected all models of iPhone, up until the latest version, Google's 
team said

Security researchers at Google have found evidence of a “sustained effort” to 
hack iPhones over a period of at least two years.

The attack was said to be carried out using websites which would discreetly 
implant malicious software to gather contacts, images and other data.

Google’s analysis suggested the booby-trapped websites were said to have been 
visited thousands of times per week.

Apple told the BBC it did not wish to comment.

The attack was shared in great detail in a series of technical 
posts
 written by British cybersecurity expert Ian Beer, a member of Project Zero, 
Google’s taskforce for finding new security vulnerabilities, known as zero days.

"There was no target discrimination,” Mr Beer wrote.

“Simply visiting the hacked site was enough for the exploit server to attack 
your device, and if it was successful, install a monitoring implant."

Mr Beer and his team said they discovered attackers were using 12 separate 
security flaws in order to compromise devices. Most were bugs within Safari, 
the default web browser on Apple products.

'Sustained effort'

Once on a person’s iPhone, the implant could access an enormous amount of data, 
including (though not limited to) contacts, images and GPS location data. It 
would relay this information back to an external server every 60 seconds, Mr 
Beer noted.

The implant also was able to scoop up data from apps a person was using, such 
as Instagram, WhatsApp and Telegram. Mr Beer’s list of examples also included 
Google products such as Gmail and Hangouts, the firm's group video chat app.

The attackers were able to exploit "almost every version from iOS 10 through to 
the latest version of iOS 12”, Mr Beer added.

"This indicated a group making a sustained effort to hack the users of iPhones 
in certain communities over a period of at least two years.”

Are you protected?

Apple issued a software fix to address the flaw back in February.

If you are an iPhone user, you should make sure your device is running the 
latest version of iOS, to make sure you are protected.

To do this, go to Settings and tap General. Under 'Software Update' you should 
be running iOS 12.4.1.

If you are not running iOS 12.4.1 you will be given the opportunity to update 
your device.

Apple's fix

Google’s team notified Apple of the vulnerabilities on 1 February this year. A 
patch was subsequently 
released six days later to 
close the vulnerability. Apple’s patch notes refer to fixing an issue whereby 
“an application may be able to gain elevated privileges” and “an application 
may be able to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges”.
Tim Cook: "We are moving privacy protection forward"

iPhone users should update their device to the latest software to make sure 
they are adequately protected.

Unlike some security disclosures, which offer merely theoretical uses of 
vulnerabilities, Google discovered this attack “in the wild" - in other words, 
it was in use by cybercriminals.

Mr Beer’s analysis did not speculate on who may be behind the attack, nor how 
lucrative the tool may have been on the black market. Some “zero day” attacks 
can be sold for several millions dollars - until they’re discovered and fixed.

Re: [AI] AI help regarding new passport.

[Kotian, H P]

Hi
Disability certificate helps you on priority entry and to take an escort for 
accompanying you. Other than that there is no role for passport. Even Xerox of 
disability certificate should be ok.

Re: [AI] Promoting XL cinema app

[Kotian, H P]

Hi Dipti
Very interesting. Although it is a big ask, Is it possible to build awareness 
to start with FTII?
On a bit broader level, although the law mandates AD and close captioning, we 
should also get the I&B ministry to take some affirmative steps on increasing 
accessible content on TV's.

Hi harishjee,
We make AD tracks in 3days. It's only a matter of producer/content owners 
intention. We are in touch with the information and broadcasting minister also 
social justice and empowerment minister to convince them to make AD tracks 
mandatory for movies at the time of censor. Hopefully things should get moving 
then.

Hi Kanchan

This certainly needs to be looked into.
It needs a high power campaign to bring in awareness.

May be some out of the box approach like inserting this in a popular TV serial.

'Parents not told of screening of eyes in pre-term babies' - Times of India

Jun 16, 2019, 08.24 AM IST Printed from MUMBAI: Given India's poor record of 
health data, doctors fear more than 3,000 preterm babies face the risk of 
blindness due to untreated retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Dr Santosh G 
Honavar, editor of the Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, has noted in a recent 
article that around 20,000 newborns need ROP management. A study undertaken 
closer home by Dr Sucheta Kulkarni of H V Desai Eye Hospital in Pune showed 
that almost three-fourth of the children who had turned blind due to ROP hadn't 
been been screened for the condition. "We looked at the history of 66 children 
who come to our hospital with ROP blindness, and the majority of the parents 
said that they had never been told about the screening," said Dr Kulkarni. 
Screening entails looking at the retina using a special lens; extra blood 
vessels growing throughout the premature baby's retina can be easily spotted 
within a few weeks of birth and treated. Pune district has a network of 
technicians who have the special screening device attached to a digital camera 
that they use to look at a premature baby's eyes and send the image to a doctor 
sitting in H V Desai Hospital. "ROP is detected in metro cities such as Mumbai 
and Pune but there is no system beyond even a few kilometres outside city 
limits," she said. Incidentally, most of the affected children in Dr Kulkarni's 
study were born in smaller cities that now boast NICUs. Pediatrician Dr 
Bhupendra Awasthi of Surya Hospital, Santa Cruz, said ROP is now routinely 
detected and treated in cities such as Mumbai. "There has been a lot of 
improvement in the last five years," he said. "The rule is that every child 
born before 32 weeks of pregnancy should be screened for ROP," he added. Dr 
Jalali said ROP-related blindness seems worse because it is preventable. "As 
these blind babies grow up, all healthcare personnel will have to answer them 
as to why they went blind when knowledge and technology were known at least 30 
years ago in countries from where we imported the incubator and newborn 
survival technology," said Dr Jalali, adding that "safety nets should have been 
transferred along with technology". The Indian Retinopathy of Prematurity
(iROP) Society of India is holding a meeting in PGIMER, Chandigarh, next week 
to discuss ways to generate awareness among doctors and parents about this 
disease.

Re: [AI] Promoting XL cinema app

Hi

The AD is released simuntaneously along with the movie launch. This app is made 
for that so that there is no wait for it.
Regarding it not being available for all movies. The issue is essentially there 
seems to be no numbers justifying budget towards it. This is essentially for us 
to show the numbers. One can get data how many downloads were there for each 
movies.   

So far we were in a chicken and egg dilemma. We have now broken free from it. 
It is possible to get exact umbers. 

The gap now seems from the VI community. not many folks have downloaded the app 
and those who have not downloaded the audio track.

The ball is essentially in our court. If there is no demand for this service, 
surely it is bound to die.  

The app developers have struck the panick button and have gone all out to get 
the numbers. If we don't respond timely we will have to kiss it good bye.

If the end users are facing any challenges, pl bring it forth. It would be 
possible to work it out. But there is no solution for apathy.

Harish.

[AI] Promoting XL cinema app

[Kotian, H P]

All

I got this request from the developer of XL cinema app. It is a matter of 
concern, this wonderful app is not finding no takers.
Very few persons have used this app. In one hand we crib for inaccessibility 
and on the other hand we simply ignore when accessibility is especially worked 
on.

Her is message is below. Pl at least provide positive comments on the app start 
with. This will be really helping us
Harish.

Hello to all. My name is Dipti Prasad co-founder of xlcinema application. 
XLCINEMA is a mobile application which allows users to listen to audio 
description track in a live theater while sitting with others using their 
headphones. We have done movies like sanju, andhadun, thackeray, raw, etc. For 
getting more movies onboard I need your help, if you can please download the 
app from playstore/ appstore and write a review demanding upcoming movies such 
as Article15, Saaho or any movie which you wish to watch in the theaters. 
Please help us in proving the demand for AD track to the producers/content 
owners because they believe there are not many people in India who need AD 
track. Thankyou very very much inadvance! Click below to download

Re: [AI] Mumbai visit

[Kotian, H P]

Hi
There are basically 3 categories of coaches in local train: general coaches 
where everyone can travel including women, only ladies coach and there are also 
coaches for disabled persons. This coach will be most suitable for you and 1 
escort is permitted so your wife can be your escort. Your daughter is too 
small, so that is not a issue. There signage on the platform to indicate the 
position of the coach for the disabled.
You don't need to take ticket for her too.

There are city tour services, alternatively, you can take a train to Churchgate 
or CSMT and take a cab for the entire day or even take cab point to point.
You can move towards your place of stay and that would make it easy for you.

Harish.

Hi all,
Hope all are fine .
Since last week state bank of india ATM'S are throwing transaction error when i 
withdraw cash through there machines with help of there in built speech 
assistance .
Speech assistance is working fine in all menus but after following all steps 
for cash withdrawal finally in the end no cash comes out and a verbal message 
of transaction error is reported.

I tried withdrawing money with help of sighted assistance and didnt face any 
issue as the machine is working absolutely fine for sighted persons.
I tried about 4 SBI ATM's  in our locality all facing same issue for blind and 
working good for sighted  so please anyone tell is there any software issue 
with the speech assistance in bankATM  or due to the upgradation of there ATM 
machines i am facing this issue, as earlier we have to insert the card in the 
slot and remove but now the card gets locked in the given slot in the new ATM 
machines deployed about
15 days back in our city.
All people working in state bank would be of great help in this regard.
This inaccessibility issue should be immediately escalated to the management .

Thanks

Although all Airlines staff do take care of visually impaired passengers
these days, however, I would mark Indigo staff and their servicess with best
rating amongst all domestic airlines.

They also provide you with Braille list of instructions and products to be

Their behaviour and level of courtesy is also highly appreciated during

This is perhaps the first time, says Nupur Agarwal,Founder, Beyond Braille that 
visually impaired readers would get the opportunity to feel the shapes of 
objects/figures in the pictures. The idea was triggered while Nupur was doing 
her Masters at CEPT University in Ahmedabad.

I worked on the concept of a tactile picture book for the visually impaired 
community, exploring and developing it further with different mediums and 
materials, I created a 3D printed and embossed version of the illustration 
picture book for the visually impaired community. It opens the gate of 
potential possibilities for the community to explore picture books like never 
before. This would improve their learning, speed and efficiency, thereby 
improving their quality of living. Moreover, this invention would make the 
learning process more enjoyable. - Nupur Agarwal, Founder, Beyond Braille

Nupur also hopes that the series will also help raise awareness about the 
community as an "equally abled" group rather than disabled or a distinct group.

"The idea of making it a children's book was so to instill the idea of equality 
from the start and the need to build an inclusive world", she says.
This, Nupur, felt was important as experience has shown that many non-disabled 
people are unsure, even scared, of interacting with people with disabilities.

Behind the final creation lay months of intense research by Nupur and her team 
in finding the best materials, Braille text and other methods.
Initially, she created the book manually with the use of thread as the primary 
material. "After the project, I took a year's break when I worked as a designer 
and thought of ways to mass produce this. I found a 3D designer and printer who 
were willing to collaborate," she adds.

She simultaneously worked on the storytelling, going through the process of 
capturing the story, rhyming it, reading it, and imagining it from a child's 
perspective.

"The children were so fascinated when their fingertips touched and felt the 
illustrations for the first time", says Vidhi Tulsyan, a project volunteer.
"This was my first time working with visually impaired kids and it was all very 
new and refreshing. We went to the blind school in Surat, interacted with kids 
there and they were really into the project. It feels great to be a part of 
this."

Hi Ankit
That sounds comforting regarding privacy. However, can you let us know of some 
scenarios where we can use it apart from knowing about PWD act and what other 
assistants fail to do.

This can help us where and how to explore this tool.

Dear Harish.

Firstly, thank you. We appreciate you taking time from your busy schedule to 
try Mera Mitra & to send in your inputs.
We are glad that you find the solution interesting and called it a step in the 
right direction. Our team is working to get new features to make Mera Mitra 
experience better & useful for the community.
Mera Mitra currently doesn’t have support for “send this info via email”.
However, our team is already working on incorporating this feature and we
shall   keep you all informed on as and when we have support for the same.
We understand your concerns with regards to sign-up process. At the outset, let 
me assure that we are collecting very basic user’s information.
Information collected via Mera Mitra will not be transferred to any third 
parties. There is NO other information that Mera Mitra stores, including access 
to your contacts in mobile phonebook. The sign-up provides us the potential to 
add several personalization, including the feature to “send this info via 
email”. You will start seeing these rolling out in our subsequent releases.
Nevertheless, I have noted your concerns and we will examine if there is  a way 
to activate an optional sign-in process. Thanks for flagging this off for us.
As we mentioned in our original mail, Mera Mitra is in its infancy, we are are 
excited of its possibilities and we want to make it better, for the community, 
with the community. Please continue to send in your suggestions or comments to 
us via this forum or write to us at i...@meramitra.in or call us at 9535767654 
(Ankit) or 9986708007 (Pratik).


Thanks, and regards

Re: [AI] Disability related chat bot

[Kotian, H P]

Hi
I did try it on Google assistant.
The registration process was rather simple. However, I was unhappy that it 
needed to have access to my contact card. I would have ordinarily declined but 
to try this app, I consented. I think the developer should remove this 
requirement.

The interaction with chatbot was smooth. However, when I told it to send the 
information by email, it simply got overwhelmed and loged out.

I suppose, the developers should have taken a little more time before going 
live. I certainly back the efforts and it can become very handy tool. There are 
lot more cenerios where it can be effectively used. It is a step in the right 
direction and the tool can grow better only if we use it extensively.

However, I do insist the requirement of taking access to our contact should be 
dropped.

Hi Ankit & Pratik,
Kudos! A single-stop access to information platform is much required.
Is it possible to access this information via a mechanism that does not invoke 
the google assistant? Maybe a hangouts chatbot or a web portal?

[AI] Disability related chat bot

[Kotian, H P]

All
I guess, this info would interest everyone.
Harish.









A chatbot for all your disability-information needs





Ask a question related to RPWD Act 2016 or read a section, for example "section 
28".
Know about concepts related to disability such as assistive technology, 
accessibility, etc.
And much more, including important disability dates, for example "when is the 
World Disability Day?"

Basically, everything about disability you always wanted to ask but never knew 
whom to ask or do not have access to people who can provide you the answers in 
a simple language.

The chatbot is an invaluable resource for persons with disability, disability 
advocacy groups, organizations working in this field, employers, and for every 
one of those who has a friend, family or a colleague with disability.

Here is an introductory video on the Mera Mitra chatbot.








Introduction to Mera Mitra







How to use Mera Mitra.

Since it is a chatbot that you can use within Google Assistant you don't need 
to install an extra app on your mobile phone. Just do the following in the 
beginning:

Invoke the Google Assistant app by either saying "OK Google" or by tapping the 
Google Assistant icon/ button on your device.
If the Google Assistant app is in the listening mode, say "talk to Mera Mitra".
Since you will be using the chatbot for the first time, it will prompt you to 
register your name which simply takes a single tap.

That's it. The next time you need to ask something of Mera Mitra simply say, 
"OK Google, talk to Mera Mitra".

After that, the chatbot will prompt you to ask your question and it will give 
you the answer.

Alternatively, you can also type in the Google Assistant app to invoke and 
interact with Mera Mitra. Open the Google Assistant app on your mobile phone, 
use the composer below & write "talk to Mera Mitra" and hit the send button. 
Follow the prompts to set up your account and that's it. You can chat with Mera 
Mitra using text   inputs as you chat with any other friend.

So, what are you waiting for? "Talk to Mera Mitra" now!

Disclaimer: The Mera Mitra chatbot is still at its nascent stage, you can 
easily call it a work in progress. We are constantly adding new capabilities to 
it. We welcome suggestions and inputs from you so that we can make this chatbot 
more powerful.

Re: [AI] Making of a WhatsApp group containing all the members of

[Kotian, H P]

Hi
We are having about 3000 members. So, no way, we can have so many numbers in a 
group.

There are already groups on Whatsapp catering to this need. All the same, email 
group has its own distinct requirement and need.

i don't think we need to move this to a Whatsapp group. apart from all the 
reasons that have been already expressed by members, which i endorse myself, 
there are many of us who don't want our mobile numbers floating among the large 
number of members that form a part of this group.
while on this public platform, we safely share our inputs, thoughts and 
knowledge with strangers, it is not the same when sharing contact numbers with 
the same strangers. that information is private until we, as individuals choose 
to share it.
for those who do want to move to the platform, it is a decision they can make 
on their own i am sure.
my thoughts...

Hi
Send an email to the manager on the official ID.

Let the manager put in writing why he is not providing all the services. In 
case he does not respond, do send a couple of reminder mails and later you can 
lodge a complaint with Banking Ombudsman of RBI.

It is necessary to have it documented.

Geting in touch with Customercare of any bank in this regard would not be of

Ask your friend to visit the base branch to resolve the issue and produce all

If the problem still persists, do contact me and we will solve this issue.

Re: [AI] Request for the commands/jestures of Samsung Voice Assistant

[Kotian, H P]

All
Pasting below a post which did not get on the list.
Harish Kotian

Quoting:
HI Sri,

When we compare Talkback and Voice Assistant, it's totally depends on the 
choice of the users what they do like because both the Screen Readers perform 
equally well on the Mobile device, however, I have personally found Voice 
Assistant better than TalkBack due to it's  easy commands and gestures.

I am also using Galaxy A50 and here are the commands and gestures of Voice 
Assistant to be used in any Galaxy Mobile device:

Navigating your phone
When you interact with an item on the screen, a rectangular focus surrounds it. 
You can use tap and swipe gestures with your fingers to control the focus. When 
you move it around the screen, Voice Assistant will tell you what it is.

  a.. To hear what's directly under your finger
  tap and drag your finger around the screen.

  b.. To activate an item
  double tap with 1 finger.

  c.. To move the focus box to another item on the screen
  swipe left or right with 1 finger.

  d.. To move to the next or previous page

  e.. dswipe left or right with 2 fingers.
  swipe up or down with 2 fingers.

  f.. To scroll up or down through screen content

left to scroll down).

  g.. To move the focus box to the first or last item on the screen
  with 1 finger, swipe up then down to go to the first item, or down then up to 
go to the last item.

 
Doing things quickly
Voice Assistant provides shortcuts for frequently used functions. You can 
change your settings or stop the voice feedback with simple gestures.

change (listed below), then swipe up or down with 1 finger to adjust.

  - Vibration feedback: Turn vibration feedback on or off
  - Rapid key input: Use the samsung keyboard and the keypad by tapping keys 
once
  - Focus on speech audio: Reduce the volume of other audio while Voice 
Assistant reads aloud

  b.. To adjust the granularity of what Voice Assistant reads
  swipe up or down with 3 fingers to choose from the different granularities 
listed below, then swipe up or down with 1 finger to implement the selected 
granularity.
  - Character granularity: Read each character
  - Word granularity: Read each word
  - Line granularity: Read 1 line at a time
  - Paragraph granularity: Read 1 paragraph at a time

Hello, this is a very good move indeed by our honourable prime minister.
However, it would be good to know, where we can get these coins, I mean, it 
takes lot of time to get circulated then we can see them or come into our hands.
Are anywhere any banks have started to circulate them?

Re: [AI] Suggestions needed: For Parents to communicate to their young daughter about her disability

[Kotian, H P]

Hi
To add, let them ensure there is no sharp or protruding objects at home which 
can potentially hurt her.

Children adapt very quickly and let her do just that.
 Other kids will also mingle well.

Nobody told me explicitly about my disability in my childhood.
It dawns upon oneself through normal interactions.
They have done wrong by restricting her for so long.

Subject: [AI] Suggestions needed: For Parents to communicate to their young 
daughter about her disability

Hi all,
Today while leaving from the BMC canteen after lunch, I was stopped by an old 
lady. Her grand daughter about 4 has no sight in 1 eye from birth. Per the 
lady, the baby has considerable sight in the other eye.
The lady was concerned that she and her children have not yet been able to 
communicate with the baby girl about her disability. They have been 
apprehensive of admitting to a school as also allow her to run and play with 
other kids.
This has caused a major road block as the kid as also relatives and people 
around are confused at their strange behaviour.
Eagerly await inputs on
1. How to sensitise the kid about her disability.
2. The way forward.
(They have consulted opthamologists about plausible treatment, to no avail and 
now are interested in rehab) Thanking you Best Turab

[AI] Social audit

Dear Harish!

Warm greetings from New Delhi.

I am pasting hereunder an email which I sent to the Hon'ble Minister of Social 
Justice and Empowerment, govt. of India which speaks for itself. I feel this is 
an important matter, and to my knowledge, nobody has so far raised it. Kindly 
post it on acces India Group.


To

The Hon'ble Minister of Social Justice and Empowerment,

Govt. of India,

Shastri Bhavan,

New Delhi

Dated 13th April, 2019

Subject: Social Audit of schemes and programmes as mandated under RPD Act, 2016.

Respected sir!

Warm greetings from New Delhi!

This is to impress upon you the need for taking appropriate and urgent action 
on a matter which has significant implications on the lives of persons with 
disabilities. I do sincerely hope that this communication of mine does not meet 
the same fate as its predecesors, i.e., my earlier communications containing my 
humble suggestions on important matters as they all went unresponded.

I am sure you will see eye to eye with me when I submit that the benign Govt. 
may agree or disabree; or for that matter, accept or reject any or all of my 
suggestions, but they certainly merit response. I do have an open mind; and, I 
am always willing to be convinced otherwise if there is good reason and solid 
justification for doing so. Likewise, I do hope that the govt. is also willing 
to be convinced about my submissions appreciating the merit inherent in them.

Sir! Having said as above, I wish to draw your kind attention to Section 48 of 
the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 which runs as follows:

48. The appropriate Government shall undertake social audit of all general 
schemes and programmes involving the persons with disabilities to ensure that 
the scheme and programmes do not have an adverse impact upon the persons with 
disabilities and need the requirements and concerns of persons with 
disabilities.

Sir! You may so kindly be pleased to appreciate that both the parent Act, i.e., 
the RPD Act, and also the central Govt. Rules framed thereunder are ominously 
silent about the modus operandi of Section 48; i.e., that is, neither the RPD 
Act nor the rules framed thereunder envisage any implementation mechanism with 
regard to this highly crucial and critical provision on social audit of schemes 
and programmes implemented by the govt. of India in general, and, by  the 
Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities in particular for the 
benefit and well-being of persons with disabilities. The same goes in respect 
of the state Govts and the concerned departments. To my knowledge, even the 
corresponding rules of the state govts which have notified such rules also do 
not contain the modus operandi of the provision relating to social audit.

In the above view of the matter, I would suggest that the corresponding RPD 
rules be suitably amended   in particular to devise appropriate and effective 
mechanism for implementing this important provision relating to social audit.  
The proposed mechanism should, inter alia, include the following: Modus 
operandi; details of eligible  participants, periodicity, and follow-up action 
on the social audit report, ETC. All the state Govts must also be asked to 
follow suit.  The primary stakeholders, i.e., persons with disabilities 
themselves must form integral part of social audit exercise.

I am putting this communication in the public domain in the fervent hope to 
generate constructive discussion and reflection of matters of this ilk.


With very warm regards,

Subject:
Some suggestions for urgent  consideration by Govt.

Respected sir!

Warm greetings from New Delhi!

The purpose of my addressing this mail to you is to request you to kindly 
examine the merit of my following suggestions which, to my mind, have 
significant implications on the lives of persons with disabilities:

1. Firstly, I would like to draw your esteemed attention to the recently 
pronounced judgment of the hon'ble supreme court of India in the matter of one 
Surendramohan  Vs. the state of tamil Nadu and others. This is regarding 
appointment of a person with blindness to the post of Judicial Oficer (civil 
judge). Though I have not read the full text of the said judgment, I am aware 
that the said judgment was pronounced on the basis of the erstwhile Persons 
with Disabilities Act, 1995 albeit we now have in place a way more progressive 
piece of legislation, namely, the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 
2016. The Hon'ble supreme court held that the respondents were well within 
their right to fix minimum degree of disability at 50% in respect of persons 
with blindness and also in respect of persons with speech and hearing 
impairment. It further stated that some ability to see, hear or speak 
was necessary for the dispensation of justice. Thus, Shri Surendra Mohan whose 
degree of blindness is 70% was disqualified for appointment as judicial officer 
(civil judge).

Here, it goes without saying that under  the Rights of Persons with 
disabilities Act, 2016, the  degree of disability is irrelevant in relation to 
benchmark disabilities whose definitions  contain measurable parameters. The 
definitions of Blindness, low vision, Deafness and hard of hearing do contain 
measurable parameters. In other words, measurable parameters are in-built into 
the definitions of sensory disabilities in the RPD Act.

Sir! My humble submission is that the aforesaid judgment will have adverse 
implications on the career prospects of persons with disabilities, more 
particularly, career prospects of persons with blindness. If I am not grossly 
mistaken, it is quite possible that some blind people, maybe very few in number 
are already working as judicial officers in states other than tamil Nadu. 
Besides, late Shri Sadhan gupta, a totally blind person and a bar-at-law, had 
served both as Additional Advocate-General and Advocate-General respectively of 
the govt. of west Bengal with high level of efficiency. He was also an elected 
member of Lok Sabha from West Bengal. Internationally speaking once upon a 
time, the Chief Justice of the Federal Court of Germany, which is the apex 
court of Germany was also a blind person. South Africa also had a blind person 
as one of the judges of the apex court  there; and, I once had the honour of 
meeting him.

Sir! To my mind, the said judgment of the Hon'ble supreme court of India in 
Surendramohan"s case will frustrate the very purpose of the Rights of Persons 
with Disabilities Act, 2016. The said judgment is liable to be misused against 
persons with disabilities in general and against persons with blindness in 
particular as this will provide a handle to the bureaucracy to deprive such 
persons from being employed in various streams, such as, the civil services, 
ministeriahl/clerical services, teaching services, ETC. for it may be 
prescribed that certain amount of the ability to see or hear, ETC. is necessary 
for such streams as well. This is a matter of grave concern.

In the above view of the matter, I humbly suggest that the Department of 
Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities under your benign Ministry be pleased 
to study the judgment and file a review petition before a larger constitution 
bench of the Hon'ble supreme court taking, inter alia, the following grounds:

that there have been instances where blind persons have efficiently and 
successfully served as judicial officersand judges both in India and abroad.

That the said judgment was pronounced based on the erstwhile PWD Act which now 
stands repealed and replaced by the RPD Act as stated above.

That the RPD Act does not prescribe any degree of disability in relation to 
sensory disabilities as measurable parameters are in-built into their 
definitions.

That the said judgment will frustrate the very purpose of the RPD Act and it 
militates against the principles of equality and non-discrimination.

the said judgment will drastically reduce employment opportunities for persons 
with disabilities in general, and for the persons with blindness in particular; 
and that it is liable to be misused by the prospective employers against such 
persons. Depending on the outcome of the suggested review petition, if need be, 
the Ministr

Hi
The circular is at least 30 years old. I don't have it presently, However, it

It is the same as that of  cancer patients. If you tell them so on the counter, 
they will be able to relate it.
 
Having said it. The real discount works out about 30% and the regular fares 
viz. x, y class are far cheaper than the concessional fare.
It can only be of some use when one is travelling last minute. No one uses it 
really.

Hi friends,
Need your valuable suggestions  for an accessible digital voice recorder please.
So my main purpose is to record my lectures with good voice recording quality 
through an external microphone.
I'm not looking for a daisy  player or a multi e book player etc.
I'm Just looking for a good accessible digital voice recorder to be used with 
an external microphone.
But just to talk about accessible multi digital players, I believe evo e5 and 
e10 dont have an external microphone jack? Am I right?
Does anyone know if angel or angel pro has an external microphone jack?

I've heard of Olympus digital voice recorders, is anyone aware of an accessible 
olympus voice recorder which announces basic things like Onn, Off, recording 
started, recording stopped, and reading the names of the recorded files  etc?

So would really appreciate if you all could please guide me for a good digital 
voice recorder with an external microphone jack facility.
My budget is around 10k.
Many thanks in advance,
Sincere regards,
Rishi

OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject: Guidelines for providing certain facilities in respect of 
persons with
disabilities who are already employed in Government for efficient
performance of their duties
*
A need has been felt to issue guidelines to provide certain additional 
facilities /amenities to the persons with disabilities (PWD) to enable them to 
effectively discharge their duties. The facilities such as identification of 
jobs, post recruitment and pre¬promotion training, assistive devices, free 
accessibility, preference in transfer/posting, special casual leave, etc. have 
been identified as areas which require special attention. The proposed facility 
indicated in the guidelines should be applicable in respect of such employees 
working in the Ministries/Departments of the Government of India, their 
attached and subordinate offices, Central Public Sector Enterprises, Cantonment 
Boards etc.
2. An inter-ministerial committee was formed to finalise guidelines for 
providing certain facilities in respect of persons with disabilities, who are 
already employed in efficient discharge of their duties. Based on the 
discussions held with the stakeholders and suggestion received from the 
stakeholders, the following guidelines are issued to provide certain 
facilities/amenities to the persons with disabilities:-
A.Identification of jobs
Each Ministry/Department of the Government of India, their attached and 
subordinate offices, Central Public Sector Enterprises, Cantonment Boards etc. 
should identify the types of jobs which could be easily performed by them 
specially for Group B, C and D posts where the number of jobs are more. Such 
persons should preferably be posted to perform such identified jobs and they be 
allowed to continue performing such jobs, as far as possible. If the concerned 
PWD officer could perform all the jobs as people without disability or could 
perform several types of jobs efficiently, no effort should be made to instruct 
them to certain types of jobs only.
B.Post recruitment and Pre-promotion training
Induction training is an essential component of the service requirement of an 
employee. Induction training programme for the persons with disabilities should 
be imparted together with the other employees.
Job specific post-recruitment as well as pre-promotion training programmes are 
required to be organised for the persons with disabilities. Outlining a 
specific module/norm for training programme for the persons with disabilities 
common to all the Ministries/Departments and their attached/subordinate 
offices, Central Public Sector
Enterprises, Cantonment Board, etc. may not be possible as the training 
requirement may be different on the basis of the work pattern. All the 
Ministries / Departments should take definite action to conduct job specific 
inclusive training programmes for the persons with disabilities with other 
employees.
Duration and training contents may be finalized in consultation with the 
National institutes under the Department of Disability Affairs, Ministry of 
Social Justice & Empowerment and, if felt necessary, prominent Associations/ 
Federations/Confederations workings in the sphere of disability can be 
consulted. It should also be ensured that training programmes are conducted at 
the time of change in job, introduction of new technology, after promotion of 
the employee, etc. The venue of the training may be fixed as considered 
suitable for conducting such training, The Ministries/Departments and their 
offices shall utilize existing Budget provisions for undertaking the aspects of 
training programme.
The employee with disability shall be placed with an experienced

Hi
Although, this is thoughtful and good, in some ways it is judiciary getting

Now that it is going to take shape, it should be properly structured and proper

HC may set up fund for poor children with special needs - Times of India

Bombay high court may consider setting up a special fund after senior advocate 
Amit Desai on Wednesday proposed a kitty for maintenance of children born with 
health issues in poor families. The impromptu suggestion from the advocate, who 
has represented high profile clients including Bollywood actor Salman Khan, was 
that instead of asking litigants to deposit fine amounts with private hospitals 
or charities, the money could be used to create the special fund in government 
hospitals. A division bench of justices Bhushan Dharmadhikari and Revati  Dhere 
said it was a "good idea"
and asked the state to submit a list of government hospitals. Desai, who was in 
court for another matter, was witness to a case related to an application filed 
by a 19-year-old married woman seeking medical termination of her 23-week 
pregnancy. The foetus was found to have a neurological problem and the couple 
said they wanted to abort it as they were poor and would not be able to look 
after the child. The medical report indicated there was a chance the foetus 
could survive the medical termination procedure. The court then asked the 
parents if they would look after the child if it was born, to which they 
finally agreed. Following the hearing, Desai proposed the special fund. "In 
many matters, the court imposes legal costs which are directed to be deposited 
with private hospitals or charities or the legal aid department. The HC could, 
instead, direct a special fund be set up that government hospitals can have 
access too. This fund could be used to maintain children born with health 
complications," he suggested.

Hi
Jet Air gives 50% on base fare as AirIndia on domestic ticket.
However, the regular fare is far cheaper than the concessional ticket when

Subject: [AI] Accessible coins!

As per directions from the Delhi HC the GOI and RBI are in the process of 
developing a new set of coins with particular emphasis of the coins being 
accessible. These new coins are likely to be launched towards the end of 2019. 
I have seen the prototypes and I can say that each coin is distinct and easy to 
identify. This I believe is the first step towards having accessible coins and 
currency notes.

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.

Another scenario: You give a Rs500 note to to a cashier at a store in a busy 
mall. They return Rs455/- in cash. Rs200+Rs100+2xRs50+2xRs20+Rs10+Rs5

I take out my phone switch on my app and then start examining the currency one 
by one.  The ambiance sound is so loud that I cannot hear what talk back or 
voice over is saying. Person in the counter and the people behind start 
becoming impatient.

I believe as Vasu said, I would use the app to arrange the currency in my purse 
at home at the start of the day but while transacting the app might not 
particularly useful in many day to day situations. Agreed, no substitute for 
actual accessible currency. Further the app is of no use to people who do not 
own a smart phone. That could be a huge number. I am not trying to discredit 
the splendid efforts put in by Shilpi and her team. I am worried because the 
Finance Ministry is working on an app and thinking that it would solve the 
problem.

I can't imagine the scene. I shall take the note from my pocket or wallet to my

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.

[AI] Visually impaired not able to use banknotes

‘Visually impaired not able to use banknotes’
 New Delhi,  January 09, 2019 01:17 IST
Updated:  January 09, 2019 01:17 IST
Plea in HC seeks standards for design; RBI’s reply sought The Delhi High Court 
on Tuesday sought responses from the Centre and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) 
on a plea seeking to lay down standards for design of banknotes and coins and 
make all forms of physical currency and digital means of transactions 
accessible to the visually impaired.
A Bench of Chief Justice Rajendra Menon and Justice V.K. Rao sought response of 
the Centre and the central bank on the plea filed by an organisation working 
for empowerment of visually impaired persons.
The plea also sought a direction to the government to stop circulation and 
withdraw, in a phased manner, the inaccessible physical currency. The members 
of the NGO, Blind Graduates Forum of India, talked about the difficulty being 
faced by the visually impaired in identifying the currency, which was 
introduced post-demonitisation, and difficulty in distinguishing coins.
The NGO had sent a detailed representation in 2017 to the RBI Governor 
highlighting the major challenges being faced by the visually impaired and gave 
suggestions factoring in inputs from several blind and low vision individuals.
New ₹100 note
Despite the assurances given to the petitioner, the RBI introduced the new ₹100 
note, dimensions of which were once again not visually-impaired friendly.
Currently, the visually impaired are facing a situation where neither the 
physical currency nor digital means of financial transactions are accessible, 
the plea said.
The NGO said that it received a mail from the RBI stating that the bank was 
sensitive to the challenges faced by the visually impaired, but believed that 
technological advancement had opened up new avenues for identification of 
currency by the visually impaired and accordingly, they are working on the same.
The petition said the plea was filed on behalf of over 52 lakh visually 
impaired persons in India who are facing immense hardship owing to 
inaccessibility of physical Indian currency along with inaccessible means of 
digital transactions and it has a direct negative impact on the independence 
and livelihood of such people.
The plea sought direction to the authorities to lay down standards as per the 
provisions of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act for banking services, 
portals, apps, payment gateways, hardware devices like ATM, point of sale 
devices, self-service passbook printers and cash collection devices to make 
them accessible to the visually impaired within six months.

I suppose, when you have taken up research on this topic, you would be having 
some solution in mind. I am wondering what technology solution you are 
contemplating to work to address immotional issues. I am a bit confused and 
would seek clarity in this regards. Would you pl briefly mention withouting 
compromising on your IPR of course, what can be possible solutions and what

Hi guys,
  I am conducting research for the company that I am working for, the research 
will be for the software they are developing, and need your help.
 They would like to understand the kinds of issues if any or emotional needs 
that we as visually impaired individuals have face, What solutions we employ, 
and whether an alternative would be something you would be interested in.

 The research interview shouldn't take very long, and any information gathered 
will just be used for the research purposes or the software design and won't be 
sold or diseminated and the whole 9 yards.
 I would be truely greatful if you would participate and choose to give me a 
few minutes of your time.
 I don't have a lot of time to conduct this research though, about a week 
maximum, So if and when you have time, please reach out.
 If you are interested, you can get in touch with me in the following ways

P.S. this research isn't accessibility related, it seaks to deal with emotional

Re: [AI] Survey to develop an understanding about how people with vision impairment perceive, experience and interpret Heritage sites

[Kotian, H P]

All

I too endorse, the survey is very interesting and we can certainly look forward 
for a more inclusive and richer experience while visiting heritage sites.

I had a telephonic  call with her while responding to the survey. Her number is 
present in the signature line.

As they say, Rome was not built in a day, similarly it takes time to happen. 
Data speaks volumes and it can impact good times when gets documented in aPHD 
thesis.
It becomes a solid ground for decision makers to back it. It can also force 
them to act. Let us take the positive step in participating in good numbers and 
actually we are helping us in the long run.

So you can either fill it in online or go for telephonic survey.
Happy new year all of you and let us look for better days ahead.

Subject: [AI] Survey to develop an understanding about how people with vision 
impairment perceive, experience and interpret Heritage sites

Dear Friends,

I have found this survey very interesting and have given my feed back too.
I feel everybody should fill this survey and help Kavita to raise voice for 
making our Heritage places accessible and end user friendly.
I am forwarding this email on behalf of Kavita murugkar.
Please go through the message below and fill it.

Heritage is regarded as a Universal Cultural resource and many researchers have 
studied and catalogued the potential benefits of heritage site visits for all. 
However, social inclusion in heritage sites remains a key challenge specially 
with respect to people with disabilities. For instance, needs of people with 
visual impairments are not taken into consideration in heritage conservation 
and management and they are excluded from experiencing heritage, as it is 
generally assumed that they may not be able to comprehend the built environment 
and architecture in a heritage site.
Such a viewpoint leads to attitudinal barriers which isolate the people with 
vision impairment from the remaining world of sighted people.
To address this problem, an in-depth study is proposed to develop an 
understanding about how people with vision impairments experience and interpret 
heritage sites; understanding the meaning and significance of heritage sites in 
their lives and how their experiences and needs can be better understood for 
developing appropriate visitor and heritage management strategies and related 
policy framework for achieving Social Inclusion in heritage sites.
In order to make this investigation possible, I request your kind co-operation 
to fill out an online survey that can be accessed by clicking the following

Express News Service
BENGALURU : The new currency circulation in the market is confusing the 
visually-challenged who depend upon the feel of the note.The visually-impaired 
recognise notes through its length and width, a manoeuvre they master through 
practice. The new denomination notes of 50, 100, 200 and 500 are creating 
problems for them as the notes are difficult to differentiate.
"Adapting to the sizes of the new currency notes is a significant challenge for 
the blind. Identifying notes through length, width and tactile markings need 
immense practice. They struggle to identify the new denominations as they get 
confused," M Srinivas, Chief Executive Officer, The National Association For 
The Blind (NAB), told City Express.
S Jagendra, a 51-year-old in NAB, struggled to differentiate among the new 
denominations of 100, 10, 50 and 200 and identified the new `200 note as a `50 
one."Losing even a `100 note is a huge loss for them," Srinivas said.Ninety per 
cent of the visually-impaired population are dependent on cash. "Note X, a 
device earlier used by the visually-impaired for recognising different 
denominations, is now losing relevance amid the introduction of new currency 
notes," he added.
In the era of digitisation, softwares like Voice Over in iPhones, Talk Back in 
Android, Non-Visual Desktop Access (NVDA) are a blessing to the sightless. "To 
avoid hassles of cash transactions, I use the voiceover software on Paytm," 
said Abdul Rehman, a 22- year-old UPSC candidate. Susmita D said she  avoids 
keeping higher denominations with her and uses separate compartments in her 
purse to keep the new notes to avoid being cheated.
"The introduction of the notes have made the visually-impaired highly 
dependent, which is a constraint for them," said Pramila R, a teacher at 
NAB.Responding to a PIL filed last year, the RBI, in its bi-monthly monetary 
policy, said it would come up with feasible note-recognition features for the 
visually-impaired. Some new tactile markings have been introduced in the new 
denominations for their feasibility.
"Introducing markings in the new denomination will not solve problems until the 
visually-impaired are made aware of them. Only a handful of educated sightless 
people know about this. The government should come up with methods to raise 
awareness about the same," said Srinivas.
Many petitions regarding introduction of Braille on currency notes are doing 
the rounds. He added that  appeals have been made and they are just waiting for 
the government's response.In Australia, the bank  notes have a number of 
features that assist visually-impaired people. Canadian bank notes have Braille 
dots.

[AI] Echolocation: My Secret Survival Skill

[Kotian, H P]

All
This post failed to get on the list. Hence, copying it below.
Regards
Harish
Quoting:
https://thegrownetwork.com/echolocation-survival-skill/
Echolocation: My Secret Survival Skill
Finally, SHTF has occurred. But this doesn't worry me, because I have the 
skills to cope with the circumstances-including one special skill that is 
rarely talked about and that is widely ignored. The general public doesn't have 
a clue about what it is or how it works.
The sun sets, and I wait for darkness to steal over the land. When it is 
finally pitch-black outside, I know I can get the preps from my garage a few 
yards from my house without the neighbors seeing.
But wait.
Don't I need to reach for the nearest flashlight? The answer is, "absolutely 
not." Do I have to reach for my night vision goggles? Again, the answer is, 
"No. I do not."
An Introduction to Echolocation
Why? I have been trained since childhood to navigate in the dark using 
echolocation. My skills have been finely honed to deal with what others must 
surely feel is a handicap. Due to my partial vision, I was not able to make as 
much use of this skill as most trained, totally blind people. My ex-husband, 
who was totally blind, could use echolocation from a distance of about 10 feet! 
I cannot do that, but my own skills do come into use when it turns dark and I 
can no longer use my partial vision.
What is echolocation? It is the ability to know that objects are in front of 
you without touching them. This is learned through the hearing exercises I will 
give you. The most important thing when learning echolocation is that you must 
practice every single day to be able to use it effectively. Over time-perhaps 
in several months or even less-you, too, can master this skill.
How to Learn Echolocation
You need only a few things to learn echolocation:
1.Patience. This is perhaps the most important factor (besides the 
daily practice sessions) for learning this skill. It takes time for your mind 
and body to understand what is happening.
2.A patient partner to train with. Yes, you must find a partner who 
can help you train for this, and who is willing to perform certain tasks I will 
outline. Remember, if your children have patience, they could participate and 
learn a new skill, too. Short sessions with them may accomplish the long-term 
results you desire. Again, it's extremely important to practice this skill 
every day so that you will not lose the skill once you've acquired it. This, I 
suppose, is important with any useful skill.
3.A very noisy, large set of keys, or another object that makes 
sound when dropped on the floor. The beginning phases of echolocation training 
develop another useful skill: being able to find any dropped object without 
needing to be able to see it.
I don't know how long it took me to go through my training. It started when I 
was 10 years old and was led every day by a state-hired mobility instructor for 
the blind. Her task was to get me mobile on the streets, making safe traffic 
crossings possible. (The cane training that makes this possible is given to the 
legally blind by request through state agencies.)
When the instructor first started teaching me, I didn't have a clue what this 
training was good for.
And I certainly had no idea that my own vision would decrease as I got older 
and developed more eye conditions than most eye doctors care to find. I have 5 
different eye conditions. One is so rare that most doctors don't know what it 
is. Only trained specialists found my problems. But by that point, I had all 
the skills necessary to cope with legal blindness. I never went through rehab, 
like most blind folks do, because the mobility instructor had already trained 
me to be more independent than most blind folks are.
6 Echolocation Training Exercises
Now, let's get down to brass tacks and work.
Exercise #1
First, close your eyes, and be sure to keep them closed throughout this 
exercise. Have your friend stand about 4 feet from you and pitch those keys on 
the floor. Now point, without looking, to where you think the keys fell on the 
floor.
How did you do with this first try? Maybe okay, but not so accurately? Try 
again and again, until you can point to where the keys are.
This, of course, may take time. But the time is worth taking.
What if I took that trip to the garage and dropped my keys while unlocking my 
garage door? Would I be able to bend down and immediately pick up those keys 
without hesitation? Yes. To find the keys, I would start on my hands and knees. 
I would then make a large circle when searching and decrease the size of that 
circle until the keys are found!
Exercise #2
Now try dropping the keys on a smooth surface, like tiles. The keys may slide a 
bit, so listen. And I do mean listen and concentrate. Can you still point to 
where they have gone?
Exercise #3
Your next step takes more time. Have your partner stand right in front of you. 
Close those eyes

Subject: [AI] How self defence training helps blind girl in Mumbai


A 15-year-old visually-challenged girl got a man, who molested her on a local 
train, arrested. But, this was no plain arrest.


 15-year-old visually-challenged girl got a man, who molested her on a Mumbai 
local train, arrested. But, this was no plain arrest. The child, trained in 
self-defence and karate, caught her molester's hand, and twisted it till he was 
forced down to his knees in pain.

The Dadar GRP, which arrested the man, said the girl was on her way home with 
her father on Monday. They took the at 8.15pm fast train to Kalyan from Dadar. 
The girl and her 56-year-old father boarded the compartment reserved for 
differently-abled people. The accused, 24-year-old Vishal Baliram Singh, also 
boarded the compartment. He stood right behind the girl and began touching her, 
said Prasad Pandhare, senior police inspector, Dadar GRP. The girl did not 
panic.

Instead, she turned around and twisted Singh's hand so hard, he screamed.
This got the attention of other passengers .

The girl confronted him and told her father he was touching her. "Until the 
train reached the next station, Matunga, the girl held Singh - much taller than 
she is - in a tight grip," said Pandhare.

The officer said her technique was so perfect, Singh's fingers would have 
broken if she had not eased her grip soon enough. "She did not seem scared at 
all, and boldly told us to arrest Singh," Pandhare said.

When the train reached Matunga station, the girl's father called GRP officers 
patrolling the platform and handed Singh over. Dadar GRP officers arrested 
Singh for molestation, travelling in the handicap compartment illegally and for 
travelling without a ticket.

Singh, a computer maintenance technician for a private firm, and a resident of 
Mulund, has been remanded in police custody for two days.

We are always easy targets for creeps like Singh," the girl said. "Our school 
teaches us self-defence and karate as part of our curriculum, so we can face 
the world despite our disability. I want the man to suffer, to ensure he does 
not repeat the act with any other 'easy target'," she said.

Re: [AI] In which bank should I open a savings account?

[Kotian, H P]

Hi
Just to add a point which is not covered so far, if you would be using ATM's, 
SBI has probably the largest number of accessible ATM's.

hi rishi,
amit has given all the right answers already! :).
the hdfc and icici banks are good and accessible. the mobile app for icici bank 
on android is  not as much good as it suppose to be but website is perfectly 
alright.
there are high chanses that you have to go threw all the conseltation process 
to open a bank account in banks like sbi and other.
the private banks are easy to deal with in such scenarios.
the only bad thing is that the minimum balance limit that is 1 in both 
icici and hdfc.

Re: [AI] Sensory substitution in blind?

[Kotian, H P]

Hi

They have provided the video as evidence. My coleague's daughter who is sighted 
mentioned that his daughter participated in the mid brain activation programme 
and she could read things blind folded. Later she stopped practicing and soon 
the ability faded with it. This is the closest evidence I have first hand. Long 
back almost 15 years back, some of us had an opportunity to witness a similar 
feat from a team from Indonesia. This took place at ICEVI conference at 
Ahmedabad. Now when I look it, it seems to be a case of mid brain activation.

There are of course many video online making claims.

I think, it is important to scientifically catalogue it, follow proper protocol 
in the investigation process, identify a optimum number of good candidates and 
follow it up for a few years.

There are many such main stream programmes in cities like Mumbai but the whole 
process is not adequately documented. Although, they provide videos of the 
feats.
Even if one makes a conclusive pronouncement that the whole process is a hoax, 
it should be done after proper investigation. One can seek only when one 
approaches like a seeker. If you have already made a judgement then what can 
one hope to find?


Similarly, Evidence of telepathy cannot be proved physiologically, however 
statistically the evidence towards success rate proves positively.

Having said that, one should approach it with zero expectations, this wil save 
the moment if it does not work out.

Dear Harish,
But do you know any child who can read blindfolded using this technique? And if 
someone can read blindfolded, a blind person should also be able to read 
because visual signals have no role. I think the responsibility of prooving 
such claims should be on the proponents of such claims. As you said, let them 
produce people benefited by the technique and then the medical science can 
study them. But I don't think we would find any beneficiaries.
There is no good relying on false hopes.

Re: [AI] Sensory substitution in blind?

[Kotian, H P]

Dear Doc

Fully agree with you regarding scientifically testing, replicating it etc.

What if, there is a pool of kids who can scientifically demonstrate that they 
can read blind folded etc. Is it not scientific then to test the result and 
thereafter figure out the mechanisms involved.

Why is it that no effort is done in that direction and merely rubbish the claim?

Would you as a doctor do the honors then?

I for one would hold my tongue until proven this is all a hoax and give the 
benefit of doubt. Let us not be caught in the nomenclature of mid brain 
activation etc. Let us first establish the fact that the kids trained in this 
technique can read blindfold and there is no cheating here.

I don't think this should be difficult to establish. Preferably please 
videograph?
Would you pl revert on this please?

Would be eagerly awaiting to hear about the findings.

Harish.

Subject: Re: [AI] Sensory substitution in blind?

Dear sir
I have been following this thread for the past few days . Being a medical 
doctor by training , i feel i should weigh in here and clarify some things you 
are saying here .

Firstly , mainstream medical scientists as you call them are not a vile 
community that is looking out for personal commercial interests . Those in 
research and in clinical practice rarely overlap .anyhow , no one whether as a 
person or a community is specifically interested in benefiting from another 
human being s suffering or disability . As and when avenues of treatment / 
paliation have come up they have been brought into clinical practice after 
rigorous examinations by the scientific method . The sole aim for such an 
exercise is to ensure replicability of results . It a little bit more 
complicated than saying a pre and post comparison . There needs to be an 
understanding of why anything works , for whom it works , for those it did not 
work for why did not , what are the best parameters and qualifying situations , 
whether there are any ill effects for those healthy , any ill effects for those 
in need of the intervention , is there a way to predict who would benefit and 
who would not , and many other things . This is possible when the intervention 
is rooted in some physiological , pharmacological , biochemical basis .

In the context of what is being discussed here , there is no physiological or 
any other scientific basis . The Midbrain is actually a part of the brain that 
controls a lot of vital functions such as respiration , body temperature etc 
amongst others . Some nerve fibers from the processing centres for vision do 
pass through this area . These also control some basic pursuit movements of the 
eye . Apart from this there also other cranial nerves that mediate taste , 
touch , and the movements of face and neck muscles . However in the MIDBRAIN 
activation programs that are being discussed here , the midbrain referred to i 
s something in between the right and the left !!

The only thing between the right and left hemispheres of the Brain is the 
connection system called the corpus callosum . There is no separate right and 
left Brain as is commonly referred to in these writings ! All right handed 
individuals are left dominant - a terminology used to refer to the fact that 
these people have their speech areas in the left hemispheres . Those left 
handed are more than 90% left dominant while a few are right dominant . This 
just implies that certain functions are subserved by certain areas . . Being 
right brained and left brained is something not based in neuroscience . Then 
where would the midbrain be is what should be asked !

If the intervention works to reduce the impairment , i am happy as any of you 
would be but i would still want to know how it does . Unlike common belief , 
ill effects also plague any intervention - whether psychological , or any 
activation whatsoever . It is just that they are not recognised or identified . 
It would only be possible to identify such things in controlled studies . But 
alas , there is little scope for that to happen . An y such intervention when 
conducted by persons with specific training weds to weed out subjectiity 
minimise chance results and identify placebo effects . Such a controlled 
situation is rarely the case .

Anyhow this is all i wanted to say and i hope it helped . With best regards

Sharad

Technique of the treatment is completely based on Einstein's principle of

77 days and after 7th day's session an eye-specialist will examine each 
individual's eye-vision on the spot informing you about each individual's 
vision improvement result.
This training is free of cost for all the persons with visual impairment.
For organizing training in your region you can contact without any hesitation.
For this training session being conducted at NOIDA please send your name, age,

Much to my surprise with an hour, they got back for the first time and they

It turned a happy ending. The moral of the story is to be persistent and knock

Any blind persons of Indian Bank can get the URL from me.

Hi
There are physical buttons, so in that aspect it is accessible. If you are 
expecting to speak out the track name, then it won't do it.

Hi
You can think of Saregama caravan. It is available from 1500-2500. Depending on 
the language. This is the smaller version. The larger version is about Rs. 
6,000. You can get it online. It is having a very nice retro look.
