Re: [AI] Signing off as a moderator

Dear Harish,
It is unfortunate that the circumstances have forced you to take this
decision.
I hope that issues will be sorted out soon and you will continue to be the
moderator.

Thanks for all the selfless and thankless work that you have done over the
years.

Commandable job done by NATMO. Can we as individuals purchase the atlas.
What is the procedure? I wish NATMO good luck for their future projects.

[AI] Talking Scientific Calculator app for iOS available

[Prashant Verma]

Talking Scientific Calculator 

>From applevis website:
http://www.applevis.com/apps/ios/utilities/talking-scientific-calculator-0  

 

Submitted by Apple Khmer on 25 December, 2016 - 01:32

 

Description of App: 

 

A comprehensively featured calculator that has become a favorite among
adults and high school students around the world. Designed for a wide range
of users,

this calculator has large colorful buttons, optional high contrast, full
VoiceOver support, and unique to this calculator; the option to use speech
for

answers, buttons names and formulas! 

 

** Regularly featured on "What's Hot" - Utilities 

 

Video demo available from the support link. 

 

Features include:

-- 

 

- Can read answers, entered numbers and formulas aloud.

 

1,234.56 is spoken as "One thousand, two hundred thirty four point five
six." 

 

2 + 3 x 5^2 is spoken as "two plus three multiply five squared." 

 

- Built in recording studio and script. Requires only 5 minutes to record a
new voice. Recordings can be transferred between devices using Bluetooth.

 

- Two entry modes, Standard and Formula. Standard mode emulates traditional
calculators. Formula mode takes care of the order of operations for you. You

enter a mathematical expression, complete with operators and parentheses
(brackets), tap the = button, and the expression is evaluated. 

 

- The entire app's feature set is accessible to VoiceOver users (using
standard or touch typing input styles) and Switch Control users.

 

- Unique to this app is an Enhanced VoiceOver Speech mode that pronounces
large numbers and formula with natural language rather than one digit at a
time.

 

- Supports entry and display of Braille on supported devices (thanks to
assistance from the Washington State School for the Blind.) 

 

- Numeric formatting of results: Max fraction digits (default), fixed
fraction digits (useful for currency calculations), and max significant
digits (useful

for science and engineering lab work), plus international formatting. 

 

- Trigonometric, hyperbolic, logarithmic, permutations, combinations,
factorial, powers, roots, percent and bit-wise operations, conversion
between hexadecimal

and decimal, random numbers. 

 

- Full support for fractions (simple and mixed), conversion to and from
decimal, fraction reduction, and use of fractions with all operators. 

 

- Easy access to basic calculator functions, for those who rarely use
scientific operations. 

 

- Paper log feature, designed particularly for classroom use. Calculations
can be recorded with a timestamp to be viewed and emailed. 

 

- iPads get a user interface designed to make use of the large screen area.
iPhones and iPod Touches get a user interface designed for the smaller
screen.

This includes large, easy to read scientific buttons, accessed on a
scrolling panel. All the features of the iPad version are included in the
smaller design.

 

 

Looking for statistics functionality? Check out the companion Talking
Statistics Calculator on the App Store.

 

Customizable for each level of vision:

 

 

Normal to low vision: Large, clear buttons with optional speech.

Low vision: High contrast display mode, with optional speech.

No vision / blind: VoiceOver reads the button names before they are
activated and also calculation results. Entry and display on refreshable
Braille devices.

 

 

Switch control accessible. Split-view and Slide-over supported.

 

Why record new voices?

 

 

Having your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch talk with your own voice, or that of
a friend or tutor will make the calculator sound more natural to you. The
calculator

will speak with the accent you are used to hearing. 

 

How good is the sound quality of recorded voices? 

 

Excellent: The microphone in your iPad / iPhone or iPod Touch is of very
good quality, and this calculator performs digital signal processing to
ensure

the audio level is consistent across all recorded words.

 

Apple Watch Support: 

No

 

Version: 

8.1

 

Free or Paid: 

Paid

 

Device(s) App Was Tested On: 

iPhone

 

iOS Version: 

10.2

 

Accessibility Comments: 

 

The app seems to work very good and is fully accessible with Voice Over. If
you don't like or can't access the built-in scientific calculator on IOS,
this

might work for you.

 

VoiceOver Performance: 

VoiceOver reads all page elements.

 

Button Labeling: 

All buttons are clearly labeled.

 

Usability: 

The app is fully accessible with VoiceOver and is easy to navigate and use.

Re: [AI] Accessible UPI app on android

[Prashant Verma]

The ICICI bank iOS app has UPI module. UPI is available on my iPhone. 
And it is giving option to scan code and so I think it needs access to
camera and photos.

Hi Prashant

Just wanted to know why does union bank UPI app need access to photos,

Is this the reason why upi apps not available for IOS. kindly enlighten.

UPI stands for Unified Payment Interface.  It is actually a payment system
which facilitates fund transfer between two bank accounts.  This payment
system works on the mobile platform.  Its features are 24/7 availability,
Secure virtual ID, Bank a/c to bank a/c direct transfer, Single app for
accessing different bank accounts, Two factor authentication compare to
wallets, Instant transfer and most important you are not disclosing your
bank details but you share just virtual payment address e.g. demo@sbi,
demo@icici, etc.

Actually, you are free to download any UPI enabled app. It can be from your
bank or from any other bank.  At present UPI apps not yet available for IOS.

PNB UPI app and Union bank UPII app is ditto in User interface.  I tried
ICICI, HDFC and SBI Pay.

Most of these apps are usable to complete tasks with talkback. They do have
few buttons and UI elements unlabelled or wrongly labelled.  We cannot claim
them accessible as per accessibility standards but apps are usable.

Re: [AI] Big step taken by NAB Delhi to make visually impaired students independent in reading and writing

[Prashant Verma]

Dear all,
Please note that this policy at NAB Delhi has not been declared suddenly.
First of all, for those who do not know, NAB Delhi pursues integrated
education where our children study in the best mainstream schools in our
area with non-disabled children. NAB Delhi provides all required support to
the blind students on a day to day basis. Our special educators help the
students with homework and difficult subjects in the afternoon just as
parents do. We provide reading material in accessible formats and visit the
school regularly to sensitize and support the school teachers in working
with blind students in their class. 

The result of this model has been just fantastic. We are proud  that most of
our ex-students are doing very well. There is a notable improvement in the
personality, general awareness and confidence of our students due to
schooling in the mainstream. 

During the last 5 years we have started a program of supporting the
education with technology tools. Children are given exposure to the
computers and digital devices like Android tablets from class 3 and by class
6 they are expected to be independent in using the computers for reading and
writing. 90% of our students between class 6 and 12 have been given personal
laptops. There is a dedicated computer lab for training the students and
classes are also arranged in the evenings. There is limited internet Wi-Fi
for senior students in the campus. Note that the primary education still
happens in the Braille medium. All blind students learn to read and write
Braille and get their books in Braille. We also have large print facilities
for those who are recommended to use large print and magnifiers for reading
and writing.   

Some of our students have been writing school exams on computers with great
success for years.  However, many others have taken the easy way out and
opted for the volunteer provided by the school to write the exam. This
scribe is sometimes a student of a  higher class or even a teacher or staff
of the school. I am sure all of you will admit that when our exams are
written by others, the results do not always reflect our knowledge and
ability. Sometimes we suffer due to mistakes made by the scribe and at other
times gain due to interventions made by the scribe knowingly or unknowingly.
On the other hand, we have noticed a remarkable improvement in the academic
performance and development  of those students who are writing exams
independently as compared to those who do not yet do so. 

I understand that it will not be possible for other institutions to
implement such a policy soon. They should do the ground work before  blind
students are asked to write exams on the computers. 

At my stint in Delhi university, I was involved in adoption and
implementation of the current exam writing policy. I fully support the
current CCPD and MSJE policy where print disabled students are entitled to
extra time and choice of a medium to write their exam - using a scribe,
computers or Braille.  The students must have the choice   and should get
extra time even when they use the computers.  

However, at NAB where we are in the position of guardians, we must do all we
can to  develop the skills and knowledge levels  of our students. We
understand that in the current information age and digital era, there is a
threat of digital divide for persons with blindness. Those who will adopt
the digital medium will have the opportunity to grow and progress and those
who do not adopt it may get left behind. This is why we are  trying to
encourage our children to use the digital medium through this policy.   

I believe when the scribe option was created, there was no way the blind
could write in a medium that could be read directly by the mainstream. But
now we have  solutions. The computer is just a replacement of pen and paper
as far as exam writing is concerned.  The sighted children at school need
not use a computer since they can use the pen and paper.  

We are firmly behind our students and will support them at each step of this
transition. Children will be given required training and we will work with
the schools to facilitate  provision of question papers in electronic
format. As far as technology and its reliability is concerned, there are no
major doubts. Class 10, 12 and university exams have been written using the
computers for many years now by some of our friends on this list.  

I have full confidence in the ability of our students. Children learn so
fast, we get surprised to see how easily our class 2 and 3 students have
learnt to use the android touchscreen tablets to download and read Bookshare
titles. They are just too  eager to learn more and are taking to computers
like duck takes to water. 

With regards,
Prashant Ranjan Verma 
NAB Delhi General Secretary

Re: [AI] Sources close to social justice minister: new notes of Rs 100 Rs 500 and Rs 1000 are braille compliant

[Prashant Verma]

Got to see both the new 500 and 2000 notes. On one side there are very small 
raised lines with small gaps between them. 
I think they are difficult to count and as the currency note gets old, I wonder 
how legible  they will be.
Someone told me that RBI thinks they will not fade with use. Anyway, counting 
them requires sensitive fingers, something which not everyone may have. 
The new 500 note is almost the same length as current 20 note and the new 2000 
note is same length as old 500 note.  The new 500 note is shorter than current 
100 note. 
I think identification has become very difficult for visually impaired now. 
This is very insensitive of the government.

We should also take into consideration the thickness of new notes, is it ideal 
for embossing braille mark on it? I don't think so!
The ideal and long-lasting solution must be to create different shapes on the 
left or right corner of these note papers which will remain till the life of 
notes...

Re: [AI] Any accessibility features in new Rs. 500 and Rs. 2000 currency notes?

[Prashant Verma]

I have studied the currency of many countries and the identification
difficulties for the blind.  
The marks on the currency notes fade away with usage and cannot be relied
upon. One should use currency identification device to recognize them with
accuracy and confidence.

   Yes, Rs 2000 note is easily identifiable. There are seven bleed lines
   on the edge of both the sides of the note. I'm yet to have haptic

To read about my  currency identifier with signature guide please visit the
following page. It is available from saksham at the cost of rs. 45 for the
signature guide version and rs. 35 for the wallet. Hundreds of pieces have
already been sold. 
And I have launched similar currency identifier just last week in Mauritius.

The identification marks on the notes cannot be relied upon as they often

there is no GPS chip as such on Rs 2000 notes. there are also no braille
dots on both 500 and 2000 notes. the only so called accessable feature is
that the print of these denominations are slightly raised so that we can
touch and identify the currency.

Dear all,

If you have not tried already then you should install the Eye-D app. Note
the name carefully, there is a dash after the word eye.

It is a free app and contains useful features such as:

Where am i

Around me

Identify objects 

Scan and read text

 

The interface is really simple and the results are very good. 

 

Thanks,

Re: [AI] steps to Use Sugamya Pustakalaya

[Prashant Verma]

Hi,
When you search for books, you will see the format mentioned with each title.
If you see DAISY audio or DAISY Multimedia or DAISY full text full audio 
written with the book then it means that it is also a audio book and that you 
can listen to it in any DAISY Player.

Also note that all Bookshare English books which can be downloaded from Sugamya 
Pustakalaya allow you to choose "audio"  as the download format. In this case 
you get the recording of the book in TTS voice. 
In general, all books from NIVH, NAB Delhi, Saksham and other indian NGOs are 
audio books recorded in human voice.
 
Thanks,
Prashant

Dear Saji,
Someone from the National Talking Book library has to log in, check your

NAB Delhi has got many many applications and it is taking time in verifying and

NIVH may not have started the approval process. You should call them on phone.

I have successfully registered in the SP. I even received the mail stating that 
my registration is pending for confirmation from my library "National Talking 
Book" on Monday.

Irony is that I have not been confirmed with my registration yet. Now What to 
do?

Is there not a time period for the confirmation like within 24 hr. or
48 hr etc.

Waiting for  your opinion.

If you have a disability certificate issued in India and a address here then 
you can join.  One of the participating libraries needs to approve your 
membership application.

Re: [AI] steps to Use Sugamya Pustakalaya

[Prashant Verma]

There is no definite time.
Notification of your application is sent instantly when you submit the form.  
Someone from that organization  has to log in and accept your request.

Please consider writing to i...@daisyindia.org or libr...@saksham.org  for 
queries. 

It can happen in minutes or take time if that person does not log in.

Re: [AI] steps to Use Sugamya Pustakalaya

[Prashant Verma]

Once you become a member of one organization through Sugamya Pustakalaya you 
can log in  and then apply for membership of more libraries. 
Note that you must log in with your   password and then go to Libraries link 
and then choose the library of which you want to become a member now. 
And Bookshare members also need to register on Sugamya Pustakalay. Bookshare 
membership will allow them to download all bookshare titles through Sugamya 
Pustakalaya.
They need not search separately on Bookshare website. Just search for your 
desired title in Sugamya Pustakalay and you will get it whether it is uploaded 
by Bookshare or any other Indian organization. 

Thanks,
Prashant

Re: [AI] steps to Use Sugamya Pustakalaya

[Prashant Verma]

If you don’t have membership of any of the libraries, then your online 
application will be taken as a new membership request and generally the NGO you 
have chosen will be happy to admit you. 
Once a member  of any of the libraries, you can search and download books from 
all.

Re: [AI] steps to Use Sugamya Pustakalaya

[Prashant Verma]

Dear Mukesh,
You will be able to read books of all libraries once your membership is
approved. 
The need for applying  to one of the DFI member organization  is mainly for
verification purpose. 
Membership approval may take a few days since the designated person needs to
do it manually by logging into the system. They will look at your disability
certificate and  if needed contact you for any clarification.
Once your membership is approved, you will certainly get a notification. 

Thanks,
Prashant

[AI] steps to Use Sugamya Pustakalaya

[Prashant Verma]

Dear all,
The Sugamya Pustakalaya portal is fully accessible and easy to use for the
visually impaired. I can say so because I have been closely involved in its
development and testing.
The steps to use this library are given below. 
There are two ways to reach this online resource. You can open the DAISY
Forum of India website and then click on Online Library link or you can just
directly open the Sugamya Pustakalaya site. The links are:
www.daisyindia.org 
www.sugamyapustakalaya.in 

Quick Start Guide for  Blind / Low Vision / Print Disabled 
Individuals with print disabilities need to take the following steps to
create an account on Sugamya Pustakalaya with book download privileges. 

.   Open  www.sugamyapustakalaya.in

.   Provide the required information. Make sure all the information you
submit here is correct and complete. Choose the library to which you want to
send your membership application. 
.   Either the mobile number or email is mandatory.

Sugamya Pustakalaya page. Type the title, author or publisher of the book
you need and click the Search button.  Books matching your search criteria

Publisher and Library name. Without logging into the website further action
e.g. view book details or download is not available.   
.   Browse catalogue: The Browse section is also available on all pages
of the Sugamya Pustakalaya. Portal. The different browsing options are

the book is from Bookshare library, then you will need to provide the

point to note here is that all Bookshare titles are not available for
distribution in India. When the user tries to download such books, an

Re: [AI] Your feedback is solicited - accessible material

[Prashant Verma]

One should ask for PDF with a caution. Depending upon how the PDF is created it 
may or may not be accessible. PDF prepared with accessibility guidelines is OK 
but the details are generally lost  when there are several suppliers of files.  
And PDF inherently has a few limitation, for example a person with low vision 
cannot modify the colour combination, dyslexic cannot change font etc. 
EPUB 3 is the new flexible format which should be preferred.   
UN and other big agencies even offer multiple formats of the same document e.g. 
PDF for printing, EPUB for reading on the digital devices and sometimes even 
DAISY.

standards) and/or PDF should be fine.
I think, it's unreasonable to ask for Word or .txt as in general institutions 
like SEBI should not produce material in editable format from security point of 
view.

Thanks,
Srini.

Re: [AI] Talking weighing scale found

It is not always available. It goes out of stock frequently. I had to
monitor the websites for a long time to get it. when it is available, I
think you will get it with a simple search.

[AI] Talking weighing scale found

[Prashant Verma]

Hi all,
Just wanted to let you know that a mainstream product HEALTHSENSE PS 121  is
a good option for a talking weighing scale for the visually impaired. 
I have bought it online from Amazon and it is working properly.
It is listed on several online retailers at prices around Rs. 1000. At times
it goes out of stock. 

Just stand on it and it will tell your weight in a loud and clear voice. 

Best,
Prashant

Hi prashant Sir,
Although I have already sent in my application, both through a self-typed
(because the PDF form was inaccessible) version via e-mail, and a printout
via courier, I have two questions:
* When could we expect a reply from the Indian organizers and on what basis
will the initial nomination shortlisting for the National IT competition
take place?
* Scratch, being a visual programming language, as I have heard from
credible programmers, cannot be worked with with screen readers. Is Scratch
program knowledge a prerequisite or a software that the visually impaired
will also be dealing with, or are there alternative screen reader accessible
accomodations?
Thanks.

Prashant sir, I want to give my feedback after you modified this reservation
templet following my suggestion.
1. At the first step while selecting transaction, alt down arrow is not
working, rather the cursor is jumping to next element.
2. Same case is with the second element also while selecting whether you
want to avail senior citizen concession.
3. at the place where it is given to enter train no. and date of journey,
there is no edit box, pressing tab add is adding spaces extending cursor by
few inches.
4. No where edit boxes are working.

So please correct the templet. Its a great work, but need some improvement.

Dear Mohib,
Thanks for your feedback!
Please download the form again from the same link. I have made a few
changes. 
Ignore the "outside printable area" message and go ahead with printing. It
should now come on one page.

Hey friends many times when we book railway ticket at the reservation
counter, we take help of others for filling the reservation form. It looks
like we are dependent on others where they can commit mistake while filling
the form, and it may create a problem for us.
I heard there is a format in MS word which we can fill our self in computer

Re: [AI] Significant facts about talkingatmindia.org

[Prashant Verma]

Dear Prashant,
The efforts of you and your friends is commendable. 
We now at least have multiple ways of finding out which ATMs are claimed to be 
"talking" by the banks. 
If the banks claims are not correct we have to ask their management and not you.
There is no way you or your friends or for that matter  visually impaired 
community can validate the claims of the banks before publishing and that too 
on a voluntary basis.

Without the database which you have created, I did not have any easy way of 
knowing which ATMs are accessible even if some of them were in my 
neighbourhood. And I know that there are issues in maintenance of these ATMs 
since we have one in NAB Delhi premises here. The technicians are not aware of 
this new feature in the ATM industry and are not able to maintain it at all 
times. 
 
In my www.GoodFoodTalks.in web app I am providing addresses, phone numbers and 
menu of restaurants based on the information published by restaurants. If 
someone visits the restaurant and finds differences in menu, prices etc.  then 
I cannot take responsibility. I can at best update my website when I get the 
new information from the restaurant or any other source.  

Please do not be discouraged and keep up the good work. You are providing an 
important service which should have actually been done by the banking 
regulators or the banks themselves.

Best,
Prashant Ranjan Verma

Subject: [AI] Significant facts about talkingatmindia.org

 Dear List,


Sharing some significant facts about talkingatmindia.org


1. From day one i.e. 15-February-2014, this website locator service launched at 
the Access India Convention at Delhi, we have disclaimer information on the 
site as “This initiative of ‘Talking ATM India Locator’
website is a voluntary and non-commercial/not-for-profit endeavour. At present 
Talking ATM site search database contains total ... Talking ATM addresses from 
... banks in India. Few banks have made available their Talking ATM locations 
list on their website and others have officially shared with us for building 
this site’s database. Our core idea is to develop a database of all Talking 
ATMs in India installed by nationalized, private, foreign and cooperative 
banks. *We are not liable for any type of mistakes or the authenticity of the 
addresses as we have merely replicated the list of Talking ATMs. This website 
is mainly a quick and easy search tool for various platforms and devices.”*


2. All the addresses uploaded are officially provided by banks.  We have built 
up locations database from banks’ website those who have updated on their site 
and through email communication by banks to talkingatmindia as a central 
repository.  Site’s footer banner mentions last database and site update date.


3. Talking ATM India site is not supported by any NGO or any corporate.  It is 
self funded service by the founder members which is renewed every year.
Its developers are visually impaired persons Saidarshan Bhagat and Sameer 
Thakur. Similarly Sagar Sodah, our list member invested in developing and 
ruining android app “Talking ATM Locator”.  We are putting our money, 
resources, time and expertise to run this voluntary community service.


4. Talking ATM India is just a locator service like M-indicator, Zomato and 
many such ventures. There are various restaurant and contact discovery services 
which are dependent on the data providers and regular updates.


5. Talking ATM India is infact helping banks and blind community on RBI 
directive dated 13 April 2009 circular “Banks may also bring the locations of 
such talking ATMs to the notice of their visually impaired customers.”


6. Important fact is ATMs regularly face breakdowns so today an ATM which is 
perfectly working in accessible mode tomorrow due to maintenance or new 
software installation or shifting can become a non-functional talking ATM.
Also at times engineers do not install the special voice guidance program in 
the ATM machines.


7. Because of locator we can visit and test ATMs otherwise banks are not even 
publishing addresses but submitting data to the central bank that they have 
followed directive of 1/3td talking ATMs.  Now we can lodge complaints with 
banks and central bank on partial talking ATMs as we know through locator 
banks’ talking ATM locations.



8. Fact is accessible ATM can only be verified with actual usage with a 
standard 3.5 mm headphone.


9 . A key fact is there is less usage by V I persons of this accessible ATM 
technological solution. At the same time there are regular users of accessible 
ATM.


10. Talking ATM India’s advocacy efforts succeeded to get Citibank talking ATM 
locations on their website which was initially not made by them.  Same case was 
with HSBC. Our follow-up forced them to have a list published on their

Re: [AI] Fwd: Please comment on accessibility of the Income Tax website

[Prashant Verma]

Dear all,
I am posting this on the behalf of Asif Iqbal who is not able to send mails
to this list.
Quoting Asif: 
I am scheduled to meet Income tax chief commissioner who is responsible for
E-filing.  My company is currently engaged by them in consulting assignment.
I did connect with my colleague regarding several accessibility concerns and
he has scheduled meeting with chief commissioner in this regards.  May I
seek your guys help to note down what exact problems faced by blind/
visually impaired citizens while e-filing their returns.
I have used their sites and it indeed was not at all accessible.  But would
like to hear about your experiences which I would like to highlight to
authority with possible solutions.
Thanks and kind regards 
Asif

[AI] Chrome cast, an alternative to smart TV for the blind

[Prashant Verma]

Dear all,

I recently started experimenting with Chrome Cast and have found it to be
useful and accessible  for the visually impaired too. 

It is one of the ways by which you can be in control of what you watch or
show to your family members on the TV. 

 

There is no accessible set top box as yet in India and therefore, the
visually impaired are not able to get the program information shown on the
TV screen. The non-disabled are able to read channel name, program name,
upcoming programs and even set reminders. Till the time one of the satellite
TV operators launch talking set-top boxes, unfortunately this aspect of TV
viewing will remain a less equal and non-inclusive aspect of the lives of
visually impaired. 

 

The Chrome Cast device with a computer or Android or iOS phone/tablet can be
used by the visually impaired to accessibly choose programs and stream it on
to the big TV screen. Someone may argue that when it can be viewed on the
mobile or tablet screen, then what is the need to send it to the TV screen.
The smaller screen devices e.g. phone or tablet are largely private devices
and are not meant to be enjoyed together with the family. So, if you are a
visually impaired and you want to show your favourite movie or YouTube video
to your family and friends then you can do it independently with Chrome
Cast. 

 

What is required: 

You will need a Television with an HDMI port. Most of the LCD or LED
televisions sold in the last few years have this port which is similar to
the USB port.

Then you need to buy Chrome Cast made by Google. You can buy it easily for
approximately Rs. 3000 from online stores.

You will need to install the free Chrome Cast app on your iPhone/iPad  or
Android device. 

You will have to install the Chrome Cast extension in Chrome browser on your
computer if you want to use the computer to control what you see on TV.

A Wi-Fi network and internet connection is essential to use Chrome Cast. 

 

How it works?

First, you have to plug the Chrome Cast device in the HDMI port of the TV.
You will also need to provide power to it with the supplied USB cable. You
can plug the USB in any of the USB ports on the TV.

Next, install the Chrome Cast app on your device. It is available free of
cost from Play store, iOS App Store or Chrome store. 

You will have to change the input source of the TV and choose HDMI.  You
will have to check out the appropriate buttons on the remote which are used
to choose the input such as AV1, USB, HDMI etc. Sighted assistance will be
required initially to understand how this is done on your TV set.  

Now connect your device to the Wi-Fi and launch the Chrome Cast app. It will
help you configure the Chrome Cast device. Basically, the Chrome Cast device
needs to be put in the same Wi-Fi network.

In the Chrome Cast app you will be able to then see the connection status of
the device plugged into the TV.  From this app, you can also select the apps
that can be used to stream content on to the TV. 

For example, you can launch the YouTube app on your device, start a video
and tap the Chrome Cast button which becomes available near the top of
screen when the setup is working properly. The video and audio quality is
generally excellent. 

Note that when the video is playing on TV, only your Chrome Cast  device
will use the internet data. You can use your mobile or tablet to do other
things  if you wish. 

 

There are many more apps which support Chrome Cast. For example, on the
Android devices you can install Local Cast to play any file saved on your
phone or tablet. Similarly, there are many apps to  watch TV, movies, sports
etc. Not all of these apps are however fully accessible with Talkback or
Voiceover. You will need to select the one which works best for you. YouTube
alone has massive content including TV shows that you may have missed. 

 

If this interests you, then try it out. If you wish to know more, just
Google for Chrome Cast on the internet. You will find many helpful articles
and videos. 

 

With best wishes,

Prashant

Hi,

At present available tools for studying science and math contains- 1. MathType 
and MathPlayer from design science works with NVDA but doesn't have any OCR for 
identifying Scientific content.
2. Infty Reader OCR and ChattyInfty from Science Accessibility Net. But these 
are very costly and contain there own TTS.

As far as the institutes are concerned, Kartik Sawhney, Paras Jain and Prityush 
are doing there studies from normal sighted institutions.

Dare to Dream Big 

by Shailika   (Non-Fiction
Articles)

Published On: 06-Feb-2016

 

DARE TO DREAM BIG

Changing one life in a lifetime is called an achievement. What if someone
brings a change to a thousand lives at a time?

It was a pleasant summer evening. The sun was at the horizon ready to bid
goodbye. The purple hue of the evening sky, the dark silhouette of the tall
trees, dancing in the evening breeze and the dark shadows of the birds
flying back towards their nest before nightfall, seemed like a beautiful
masterpiece of art - the only difference being this was an art by Mother
Nature herself.
Below the serene evening sky, was the bustling Delhi Haat - a place full of
life, laughter and fun where old and young all seemed to enjoy alike. The
hustle-bustle of people, the smell of food varieties, the bright lights and
the colourful displays all around cast a festive atmosphere. I could not
think of a better place to spend the evening with my family.
My love for Delhi Haat dates back to the good old college days when I had
moved to the capital to gain a degree in Commerce. It has been a long
journey since then, a journey where I had slowly fallen in love with the
city. Now, after 13 years I continue to stay here with my husband and my
dear daughter. It is for sure a contended and peaceful life, though I am
still in search of my purpose in life and a better job and financial
stability. Sometimes, I think that I have lost that fire within, which
forces people to venture out of their boundaries to strive and carve a dream
life for themselves and their loved ones. I think I have got used to a
mundane way of leading life, staying in the confined boundaries that I have
set for myself.

My thoughts were interrupted as my eyes focused on a familiar face in the
crowd. The beautiful face of my good, old college friend 'Veena'. I waged my
way through the crowd and called out, "Veena".
The lady turned back and said, "Who?"
I said, "You have to guess."
She said, "Shailika."
My eyes were filled with tears. Veena was able to recognize me and her voice
shared the same excitement as mine. 

It had been nearly 13 years when we had last met on the final day of our
college. Running into each other after a decade was a wonderful serendipity.
We seated ourselves. I introduced my family to her and she told me about her
husband. Slowly our conversation proceeded further. There was a lot to catch
up. My daughter was interrupting us but then my dear husband, who understood
my emotions at that time, took good care of her.
Across the course of our talks I came to know that Veena was working as a
Deputy Manager in one of the most prestigious PSUs in Delhi. She was in the
human resource department and was juggling between her professional and
personal life just like any other working women.
Yet I insist that Veena is special, different from the rest, extraordinary
in innumerable ways.

Over steaming cups of coffee, Veena slowly revealed the various chapters of
her life; heart-wrenching incidents on how she had to fight legal battles
with leading universities when she was seeking admission into an MBA
program. She had decided not to run away from the challenges that lay ahead,
but to stand tall and face them, fight them and win the battle.
Inspite of limited support from her parents, who had a tough time believing
in the fact that their daughter can live a normal life without their
support, Veena achieved the unbelievable. She had gradually learnt to draw
strength from within herself. She had grown into a strong, confident and
highly motivated individual.
At the core, however, she was still the kind-hearted and amicable person
whom I had known years back.

It was the first day of our college in the year 1997. There was excitement
and anxiety all around. Girls around were full of pride of getting admission
in one of the best colleges of Delhi University. There was a brief
introduction of the students and then they were asked to go to their
respective classes. Mine was in room number 9. I was looking here and there
when I overheard a sweet voice asking someone "Can you please take me to
Room No 9?" The other girl said, "I am in a little hurry. I have to go."
I turned back and said instantly, "You can come with me. I am going to the
same class." She tried to locate me and then held my hands closely. It was
then that I realized that Veena was visually impaired. It was my first tryst
with someone who was differently able. 

This day was however, the beginning of a friendship for a lifetime.
And it was evident today, when we met after more than a decade and the
camaraderie was the same like the good old college days.
Those three years in college were perhaps the best days of my life, a new
experience altogether. Veena was there with me in the hostel and with every

Dare to Dream Big 

by Shailika   (Non-Fiction
Articles)

Published On: 06-Feb-2016

 

DARE TO DREAM BIG

Changing one life in a lifetime is called an achievement. What if someone
brings a change to a thousand lives at a time?

It was a pleasant summer evening. The sun was at the horizon ready to bid
goodbye. The purple hue of the evening sky, the dark silhouette of the tall
trees, dancing in the evening breeze and the dark shadows of the birds
flying back towards their nest before nightfall, seemed like a beautiful
masterpiece of art - the only difference being this was an art by Mother
Nature herself.
Below the serene evening sky, was the bustling Delhi Haat - a place full of
life, laughter and fun where old and young all seemed to enjoy alike. The
hustle-bustle of people, the smell of food varieties, the bright lights and
the colourful displays all around cast a festive atmosphere. I could not
think of a better place to spend the evening with my family.
My love for Delhi Haat dates back to the good old college days when I had
moved to the capital to gain a degree in Commerce. It has been a long
journey since then, a journey where I had slowly fallen in love with the
city. Now, after 13 years I continue to stay here with my husband and my
dear daughter. It is for sure a contended and peaceful life, though I am
still in search of my purpose in life and a better job and financial
stability. Sometimes, I think that I have lost that fire within, which
forces people to venture out of their boundaries to strive and carve a dream
life for themselves and their loved ones. I think I have got used to a
mundane way of leading life, staying in the confined boundaries that I have
set for myself.



My thoughts were interrupted as my eyes focused on a familiar face in the
crowd. The beautiful face of my good, old college friend 'Veena'. I waged my
way through the crowd and called out, "Veena".
The lady turned back and said, "Who?"
I said, "You have to guess."
She said, "Shailika."
My eyes were filled with tears. Veena was able to recognize me and her voice
shared the same excitement as mine. 

It had been nearly 13 years when we had last met on the final day of our
college. Running into each other after a decade was a wonderful serendipity.
We seated ourselves. I introduced my family to her and she told me about her
husband. Slowly our conversation proceeded further. There was a lot to catch
up. My daughter was interrupting us but then my dear husband, who understood
my emotions at that time, took good care of her.
Across the course of our talks I came to know that Veena was working as a
Deputy Manager in one of the most prestigious PSUs in Delhi. She was in the
human resource department and was juggling between her professional and
personal life just like any other working women.
Yet I insist that Veena is special, different from the rest, extraordinary
in innumerable ways.

Re: [AI] Announcing the launch of Accessible Menu reading app - Good Food Talks

[Prashant Verma]

Dear all,
We mentioned in the FAQ post that currently restaurants from delhi NCr,
bangalore and Mumbai only have been added. 
We are in the process of adding restaurants from 10 more cities. 
Till that time, the restaurants  listed may be too far from you.

I suggest that you can still make use of the chain restaurant menus because
they are largely the same across cities. Some of these are McDonald, KFC,
Dominos, Café Coffee Day, Pizza hut etc.

Thanks.

Now I see something strange. To verify Pranav's question, I just tried
"Restaurants near me" on web from Hyderabad and results showed are 498 KMs
from me which is Bangalore.

I'm using Safari on Mac. I tried Chrome on Mac and FF on Mac too and results
are same. I have even tried with Safari on iPhone too and same results.

Re: [AI] Announcing the launch of Accessible Menu reading app - Good Food Talk

[Prashant Verma]

Dear Amar,
It will be great if you could approach Zomato on our behalf. Please use the
text below to create a write up for senior management of restaurants. I am
getting a lot of queries from users and need to devote some time to it. as
you know, I have taken this initiative totally out of personal interest and
I have to primarily give my time to DAISY Consortium. 

For restaurant owners
 
Read on to find out how we can help you make your menu completely accessible
for people with visual impairments and other reading difficulties in India.
or click here to get in touch.


Ever wondered how visually impaired people read a menu?

The truth is, it's a huge problem!
 There are more than 15 million people with visual impairments in India.
Their conditions range from those who are totally blind through to people
whose vision can't be corrected by even the strongest of glasses. And then
there are millions of people who due to old age cannot read small print or
read in low light.
 As a responsible business house do you accommodate the needs of this large
section of the society?

Some restaurants offer Braille and special large print versions of their
menus but did you know that less than 10% of people with visual impairment
can read Braille?
 And what happens if you change the menu more than a couple of times a year?
 
So how do most visually impaired people find out what's on the menu when
they go out to eat?
87% rely on a dining companion or waiter to read them the menu.
91% told up that being able to read the menu themselves makes the dining
experience more inclusive and enjoyable.

Visually impaired people are sociable creatures. They love food and also
like to eat out. And above all else, they value their independence.
Basically, they just want to be treated like anybody else.

The Solution?

Good Food Talks is a platform that empowers people with visual impairments
to access and browse
 restaurant menus on their smartphones,tablets and computers in the way that
most suits them and their vision, whether out and about or at home.
 Customers can:

Listen to the menu
View it in a large text format
View it with inverted colours
View it using the Open Dyslexic font

Good Food Talks is and always will be free to access for all users. This
revolutionary service is already being used by hundreds of thousands of
people in the UK and now it is in India!

"I love Good Food Talks! I now feel confident going to restaurants with
friends. I am now able to read the menu and make choices for myself and even
order for others when I am throwing a treat. Earlier, much of the time was
lost in me listening to someone reading out the menu to me in the noisy
environment. And I generally made a choice after listening to the first few
items and always felt shy to ask for the prices."
Veena, Delhi 

How do you get your restaurant on Good Food Talks?

You can yourself create an account and Submit your menu. Alternatively, get
in touch with us and we will take care of the rest.

Fundamentally two points:

1. Let's reach out to main apps in this industry like Zomato and ask them to
incorporate a feature which will redirect customers with visual impairment
or elderly people to this app for assisted menu reading.

Pankaj is the managing director of Zomato and can be reached out at:
pan...@zomato.com

I am happy to reach out to management level at good restaurants to begin
with -let me know your interest and appreciate if you have a ready write-up
to share, and once awareness is created, we can also reach out to small
restaurant  runners.

2. Let's make it a point that wherever we dine out, we at least get a hard
copy of the menu either properly scanned or typed for submitting on this
portal.

Great thought and a job well done by you and team.

Re: [AI] Announcing the launch of Accessible Menu reading app - Good Food Talk

[Prashant Verma]

Dear Amar,
On our website we have created a page to communicate with restaurant owners.
We would like restaurants to either themselves create an account on Good
Food Talks   and type out their menu or collaborate with us to maintain
their menu.
Creating an account and typing out the menu is not difficult or time-taking.
When the restaurant revises its menu, it can log in   and make those small
changes.

I would ideally like NGOs and volunteer groups around the country to take up
this task. I am sure that many NGOs get volunteers  who can do simple
computer based work. And this work can even be done from their home or
workplace. 

To give you an idea, two ladies in Delhi have uploaded 200 menus in about 45
days' time. And in Bangalore and Mumbai just one or two volunteers have done
the uploading of 100 menus in less than a month. 
In UK, restaurants are told that the disabled are a big market and they pay
to get their menu included in such a website. In India, the disabled are not
perceived as a market as yet and so, we will have to find other  sources.
Also, in Delhi I hope to get some funding  for the coming financial year.
Even if I could get salary of a part-time data entry operator, I can
maintain hundreds of menus. Other NGOs may ask for similar funding and
maintain their menus.
Ultimately, we would like the mainstream apps to be accessible and easy to
use. But in a country like us, I think it will be quite some time before
that happens. And when it happens, I will be most happy as I will get more
time to relax.  
Please do checkout these pages, text also copied below.

Sensible and much needed work has begun Prashant sir. Glad that you had that
thought.

Would you have something to share which we can take to the management level
of restaurants and get them involved?

My primary concern is that how do updates get incorporated in the menus?
What level of economics is involved in implementing something of this kind
for a restaurant owner?

As much details as possible will be helpful.

Re: [AI] Announcing the launch of Accessible Menu reading app - Good Food Talk

[Prashant Verma]

Dear Ketan,
In Good Food Talks we have so far included the restaurants which were
suggested by the visually impaired we consulted. Ofcourse it has pricy
restaurants which we aspire to go to but it also has those small food joints
with one page or half page menus.
For example from Delhi I have included -  Kulcha King, Khandani Pakorey
Wala, Atul Chat Corner etc.  
I am sure XRCVC Mumbai will be willing to upload menus of restaurants you
will suggest. Please do use the "suggest a restaurant" link in our website
and tell us what you want.

Wonderful worl indeed though I am afraid this will benefit a small number of
people as majority of the people use smaller restaurants which are
inaccessible.  This is where digital divide is growing fast.
We need to bridge the same.  Of course, I am aware that we are working with
people like Zomato etc. but now we need to hasten the process.

With best wishes,

Re: [AI] Announcing the launch of Accessible Menu reading app - Good Food Talk

[Prashant Verma]

Dear Rajesh ji,
I seek your help in uploading menus from your region. Please motivate few 
volunteers to upload the menus of restaurants which interst you most.  
And another importatnt point I want  your comments is that with this app now 
you can atleast get a fairly good idea of the menu of the chain restaurants 
even in your city. 
For example, if you wish to have pizza or fast food, you can look up the menu 
of Dominos or pizza hut or McDonald  from Mumbai and you will find that the 
local menu will be almost same. 

I am copying below the menu upload process. And feel free to contact me if you 
face any issues. 

Procedure for data entry in good food talks website 
Registration 
 
1. Open Goodfoodtalks.in and click on submit a menu 
2. Click on Sign up 
3. Provide your email id etc. and complete the registration. 
4. You will get a message that your account is created. 
5. Close the website. 
 
The above is a one time process. 
To make data entry 
 
1. Open goodfoodtalks.in 
2. Click on submit a menu 
3. Provide user id and password and log in 
 
Adding menus 
1. After log in, in the top left click on Menus and then click on add new Menu 
2. Keept the Restaurant menu ready for reference. Unless you have the hard copy 
of the menu, you can easily find most menus on the internet. You can keep
the restaurant menu and the GoodFoodTalks(GFT) website open simultaneously and 
switch between them to read information and type into the GFT website. 
3. Type restaurant name as the menu name 
4. Carefully check the sections in the restaurant menu card and accordingly 
create sections here by clicking add new section 
5. You can also rename the blank sections e.g. starters provided here 
6. Below each section click on add new menu item and type item name and price 
7. If the item has a description or if its price is mentioned for other 
quantities (e.g. half plate, full plate) then mention this also in the 
description
box. 
8. Finally click on save menu 
 
Adding restaurants 
 
9. After log in, in the top left click on My Restaurants and then click on add 
new restaurant 
 
10. Fil up the data. 
11. Make sure you put the address below the map and click the "locate my 
restaurant" button. The map should now show your city. 
12. On the right side of the page, it will show one or more menu names. Place a 
tick mark on the correct menu for this restaurant 
13. Finally click on save draft. 
 
Note that you can stop data entry at any time. Just click on Save draft and 
Close website. When you want to resume data entry, log into the website and
click on My Restaurants or My Menus at the top and then open the 
menu/restaurant you want to work on. 
Once you have completed addition of the complete menu and restaurant, please 
send 
an email to 
g...@saksham.org
so that it can be made public.

With regards,
Prashant

Wonderful worl indeed though I am afraid this will benefit a small number of 
people as majority of the people use smaller restaurants which are 
inaccessible.  This is where digital divide is growing fast.
We need to bridge the same.  Of course, I am aware that we are working with 
people like Zomato etc. but now we need to hasten the process.

Dear Avinash, 
Given below is list of few of the popular restaurants in GFT at present. You
can use the Browse link on home page to see more. In our study, users wanted
to know what is around them rather then what is available in other cities,
hence this design.  

Good Food Talks includes menus of McDonalds, Dominos Pizza, KFC, Pizza Hut,
Café Coffee Day, Barbeque Nation, Haldiram, Sagar Ratna, ChaiPoint,
Dunkin's Doughnuts, Mainland China, Nagarjuna, Nirulas, Pind Balluchi,
Rajdhani, Yo China and many more. GFT currently has menus of all types of
restaurants – from fine dining to fast food and even famous stree food
joints.

Its a good initiative. Delhi-NCR plus Bangalore and Mumbai have been
covered. I feel for the better convenience and comfort of the website
visotors,the list of restaurants should be displayed under the city heading.
For example, Link Mumbai, Link DelhiNCR and the link Bangalore.

Re: [AI] want to convert pdf to daisy format

Hello,
You can use the free Save as DAISY plugin to convert Word documents to
DAISY. 
See more information at
http://www.daisy.org/daisypedia/create-multimedia-daisy-books-free-tools-usi
ng-text-speech-audio 
As far as PDF is concerned, you can convert PDF to Word first using Fine
Reader or other tools and then use Save as DAISY.
EasyConverter is another option but it is a bit pricy.

Re: [AI] Is it worth switching to Mac from Windows as a visually impaired user?

Dear  Ekinath,
In all probability you can restore the use of function keys. Go into the BIOS 
and disable Active keys. You may need sighted assistance to do this.
Then you will not be required to press the FN key to use the function keys.

Hi Rishi,

Today while typing this email, I feel that McBook wouldn’t have been worse than 
dell windows I’ve just purchased a month back.

The biggest problem is, I don’t know for what logic, windows has changed the 
complete line of function keys and instead has introduced media commands on 
those keys. So even for simple I have to press 3 key commands as to to use the 
most top line as f keys I have to press function/fn key for various useful jaws 
commands.

McBook was smooth, but I hope one doesn’t have to go through same compatibility 
problems as one does with phones. But I used for couple of hours. It was smooth.

I bought Dell Inspiron 5558, it has one of the best config but it’s running 
very slow. I don’t know what’s wrong win. They are putting me off.

This happened even after me checking the keyboard layout in the shop J)

Pardon typos.

india campaign who have little idea about accessible built infrastructure and 
digital accessibility.
Why don't they join our access India mailing list to have expert suggestions. 
They can get expert openions from each members. No need to spend millions of 
rupies for brain storming.

Why don't they join hands with XRCVC like resource centres and EOC of various 
universities and colleges where they can get good partners and very good 
channels to collect suggestions and implement various schemes effectively.

There are professional organizations like IBM human ability and accessibility 
centre, barrier break technologies, accessibility groups of various IT 
companies too.

I have repeatedly informed the joint secretary of MSJE Mr. Mukesh Jain about 
our wish to contribute in accessible india Campaign for awareness about various 
accessibility standards and regulations at layman level that we are already 
doing since last 4 years in government and corporate organizations. I also 
called him several time for meeting schedules. I told him that we will spent 
from our pocket and join such meetings if they don't have budget to call stake 
holders. But i didn't get good response.

So it seems I missed some important steps. Now it is working with the
headings spoken by the irritable narrator and the text is read by Sangeeta.

Another thing irritates me. Even though I am deleting my name from the
creator box, my name is announced as the creator. Can I avoid it? I am not
using any other name since this may not be the best compilation.

I notice that two folders are created, daisy 202 and z3986. I am deleting
z2986 and renaming daisy202 with the desired title. Is it ok?

I selected English US, the traditional language. Will it be better if I
select any other English?

Hello,

I am creating a daisy book from a word file using the Save as daisy add-on.
It uses the narrator's voice. My narrator's voice is set as sangeeta. But
the daisy mp3 files are always created with the microsoft narrator's voice.
Is there any way I can use sangeeta instead?

Re: [AI] creating audio file from hindi unicode text

[Prashant Verma]

Why not use the save as daisy plug in for Microsoft word? It will record the
word file in default TTS voice.
You just need to have sapi compliant Lekha or any other hindi voice.

Re: [AI] Kindle for PC with Accessibility Pluggin: registration issue

[Prashant Verma]

Kindle devices and apps should be the last resort for reading. Their
accessibility is very limited. I have tested 
the Kindle for PC app with accessibility plugin. With Jaws it scored only
46% in the fundamental accessibility tests. To check what works and what
not, you can see this page -

The write up on the Amazon web site clearly states that it is accessible

If we register it with sighted assistance, is the app accessible for regular

[AI] Fitness bands or health data monitoring

[Prashant Verma]

Dear all,

I am using a generic fitness wrist band purchased in the US. It is able to
track the number of steps, distance travelled, calories burnt and number of
hours of sleep.  I am able to see the data in my iphone. The app is
reasonably accessible. I cant say that the data acquired is accurate but it
does give a good idea on how active you are and how much more you need to
walk or run to achieve your own fitness targets.

Is anyone using such device with more features and with accessible apps? I
am looking for a device with more features and  customization.

 

Thanks,

Prashant

Re: [AI] How to take student attendence in the class?

[Prashant Verma]

I have in the past designed Excel templates with columns such as total days
absent, percentage present etc. for school teachers and college professors.
They are using it successfully for many years now. 
They print the sheet and sign and submit to the authorities  when required.
One such format can be downloaded  from the link given below. if the link
does not work on clicking, then please carefully copy and paste the link
text in browser. 
https://www.dropbox.com/s/qe3nce4g4mgo605/Attendance%20Register_format.xls?
dl=0  
You mark attendance by typing P or A and the rest is calculated by the
formulas. To change dates you can use the Fill feature of Excel.

Re: [AI] problem about daily attendance help please

[Prashant Verma]

Few people have reported that bio-metric machines have been installed in
their office where the aadhar number has also to be typed in after finger
print.
The machine then updates the attendance on the website of the organization. 
The machines are not talking and it has made the bio-metric attendance
system which was earlier accessible now inaccessible. Blind people need to
get someone to daily assist them with attendance.

I am told these machines are being rolled out to all offices. If that
happens, it will create lot of inconvenience for visually impaired staff. 
Some intervention is required quickly after verification of facts.

Re: [AI] daisy making software for the blind people

[Prashant Verma]

Dear AIKEO,
The best software to record DAISY audio books is Obi. It is fully accessible 
with Jaws and NvDA and even totally blind persons can use it independently to 
create digital talking books in DAISY 2 or DAISY 3 or EPUB format. 
We have put together many step-by-step tutorials and screen cast videos on 
DAISYpedia to help you learn the use of Obi. You can review these resources and 
if you need I can also train you over skype. 

Here are the links to those resources.

Re: [AI] DTH entertainment services!

[Prashant Verma]

Technically this is possible only when the settop box has built-in TTS.
Service providers are now a days selling boxes of diferent types e.g. with
HD quality, with recording etc. 
All they have to do is to introduce the set-top box developed in UK with
RNIB as one of the options. 
If the set-top boxes were interchangeable  between operators then also we
can just buy such a box from outside india and use in our homes.

Dear George Sir,

Great point you have shared! I would like to share a suggestion. With the
growing demand for the DTH services, the remote controls can have a couple
of extra buttons on it which would be integrated with the whole system. One
button can be used to switch over the interactive voice and the other button
can help us in repeating the highlighted message. Rest all the buttons can
continue doing the existing functions.

This would be helpful not only for visually impaired persons, but it would
be of great help to the senior citizens of the country as well.

If convincing, I believe this matter must be escalated to the highest level.

Re: [AI] DTH entertainment services!

[Prashant Verma]

Dear George,
I am also very concerned with inaccessibility in this arena. 
Technology-wise, the only solution is to have set-top boxes with talking
features. Such products exists and our operators just need to adopt them and
offer to consumers for purchase.
I am sure blind persons will be ready to pay that extra few thousand rupees
for such devices. 
Saksham, particularly Mr. Dipendra Manocha has tried to work with Dish TV
and Tata sky recently to make them adopt these devices. Unfortunately, after
the initial enthusiasm  not much progress has taken place.

Since we are a negligible market I wonder whether these operators will ever
offer it for commercial considerations. It needs to be enforced by law. 
But we don't have any laws yet to ensure accessibility of ICT
infrastructure. The government has adopted a policy only and not much  work
is being done on it.

In the interim, I have tried to put together the channel list of popular
service providers in Braille, audio and eText on my website. Keeping them
up-to-date has proved to be very difficult however. 
The Tata Sky channel list  is available on the page given below. you can at
least check the number of your favourite channel. Tata Sky is also providing
the program guide on their website but it is not fully accessible. 
Channel list:

-july-2015 
Tata Sky TV guide:

We should together do something about this.

With regards, 
Prashant

Re: [AI] Life Insurance policy done

[Prashant Verma]

Hi,
I am no expert on insurance and therefore cannot comment on such questions.
In recent times there were emails of people who either could not get LIC
policy or got it with terms and conditions.
The person named in my email thinks that he can get a standard policy done
for the visually impaired and he succeeded in our case. 
Therefore I have shared his number. 
If anyone is seriously planning for a LIC policy then you may contact Mr.
Bajaj on 9650 99 3636 directly and ask your questions.

Thanks,
Prashant
