[AI] Any UEB Enthusiasts Around?
Hello once again to all the AccessIndia mates! I've since June 2016 been working on the Unified English Braille (UEB) and have recently even volunteered as the instructor for a fortnight-long training programme on UEB Mathematics for the teachers of a school for blind girls. If there are any AccessIndia list members working on the UEB (i.e. learning the UEB, teaching the UEB to others, transcribing braille books and other materials in the UEB, or have access to UEB materials), I would love to get in touch with those fellows!

[AI] Fw: JAWS or NVDA? Which is better with mathematical texts?
Hi AccessIndia mates? How are you? For those of you who are interested in accessibility of mathematical content, there is a mailing list by the name of BlindMath. I've just posted a message to that list, and I'm forwarding that message to AccessIndia as well. Please carefully read the following message and see if you can reply to my queries with any info of value! Regards. Saaqib - Forwarded message ----- From: Saaqib Mahmuud To: blindm...@nfbnet.org Sent: Tuesday, 29 October, 2019, 1:39:50 pm GMT+5Subject: JAWS or NVDA? Which is better with mathematical texts? Hi BlindMath mates? Hope you're fine. My name is Saaqib Mahmood, and I am a visually impaired (i.e. partially sighted) person from Abbottabad, Pakistan; I have got an MPhil degree in Mathematics and work as Assistant Professor at a mainstream government college. Although I at present can read printed materials and ebooks in PDF or DJVU format by turning on High Contrast (Black), I still need to be able to use JAWS or NVDA properly in creating and accessing mathematical materials in case my eyesight deteriotates too much in future. Besides, just yesterday, a student of the MSc in Mathematics program of the University of Peshawar contacted me and told me that he is losing the ability to read print as his eyesight is declining steadily. In this backdrop, I request the help and support of the BlindMath community and enable people like me and that student to better access mathematics books using the commonly available computer screen reading software programs such as JAWS and NVDA. My first query is which of these two programs (i.e. JAWS and NVDA) allows better accessibility when creating or accessing mathematics content? How accessible using either JAWS or NVDA is the task of creating mathematical content using MikeTex, for example? And, how accessible is each one of these programs when accessing mathematical content using programs such as Adobe Acrobat Reader (for PDF documents) and WinDjView (for DJVU files)? I hope the members of the BlindMath community will take time answering my queries in detail. Regards.

[AI] Is Wren & Martin's High School English Grammar & Composition Available in Braille in India?
Hello to everyone in the AccessIndia community! Namaskaar! Is the book HIGH SCHOOL ENGLISH GRAMMAR AND COMPOSITION by P.C. Wren and H. Martin available in Braille in India? If so, who has published it? Has this book also been published in the UEB yet by any agency in India? Last but not least, can somebody here please share with me via email a PDF file of this book such that that file is accessible using screen reader software and also such that that file includes the proper typeform indicators (i.e. bold, italic, and underlined) as used in the original book? There is a copy commonly available on the Internet but that copy is without the typeform indicators that the original book has. And, there is another copy also available on the Internet but with the problem that this PDF file is not properly accessible using JAWS at least, and the OCR process available in JAWS again skips the typeform indicators (i.e. bold and italic).

[AI] Has Any Low Vision Person Here Tried This Device From APH?
Good Morning to the entire AccessIndia family. Hello! My name is Saaqib Mahmood, and I'm a visually impaired (i.e. partially sighted) student of mathematics, with an MPhil degree in the field and working as an assistant professor at a government college. During my college and university studies in mathematics (and computer science), I have been at a particular disadvantage dut to my inability because of my eyesight problem to see the board while in the class. Accordingly, throughout my college and university (i.e. Intermediate, Bachelor's, Master's, and MPhil) years, the tutorial offered by the institution had very little use for me since in mathematics classes most of the times content is taught through writing on the board and pointing to the stuff written on the board. So I had to put in extra effort poring over books and running after the teachers, when they could be available, for explanation / clarification in the material. Just a few minutes ago, while searching for information on a braille-editing software called BrailleZephyr, I've stumbled upon the VisioBook: Portable Electronic Magnifier and Distance Viewer from the American Printing House for the Blind (APH), Inc. Here is the link to the APH page containing information on the VisioBook. https://tech.aph.org/vb_info.htm Now my question is, is there any low vision person over here who has either personally used this product or knows someone else who has used it. If so, then I would like to know as to how effective this device is in enabling the user to view objects --- especially the characters and symbols in medium to large fonts written on the board in a classroom --- from distances of, say, three to four feet. If possible, please leave a WhatsApp number so I can contact you to hear from you about your personal experience of the device. Regards.

Hello AccessIndia mates? In connection with the discussion on eye treatment, I'm forwarding you the email correspondence with a Dr Duncan Jacques in the USA.

It sounds like you have very early onset vision loss. Have you previously had an electroretinogram to confirm that your vision loss is due to a problem with the photoreceptors rather than the optic nerve? If so, have you had genetic testing to look for the cause of the photoreceptor degeneration? If you can get genetic testing and you learn that your vision loss is due to 2 mutations in a gene called RPE65, gene replacement for that condition has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in the last year.

In fact, the most common scenario for patients with autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa is that there are no other people in the family with similar symptoms. This is especially likely if there is any connection between your mother's family and your father's family. Autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa occurs when patients inherit 2 copies of a changed gene that does not cause vision loss when only one copy of a changed gene is present. Since a patient with autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa has 2 copies of a changed gene, he inherited one from his mother and one from his father. Each parent only had one changed copy so the parents and all the other relatives likely had normal vision. Each child the parents have together has a 25% chance of inheriting both changed copies of that gene and having a vision problem, so if that is the case in you, each of your brothers and sisters also has a 25% chance of having a vision problem.

Yesterday, two teams from India played against each other in Manchester. The team representing the largest part in the middle of India won, and the team representing the smaller part on the west lost. Today the third team from India, the one representing some of the eastern part of the country, is playing against the West Indies. Let's hope our third team will win today. Regards.

[AI] Request for Advice / Suggestions
Hello Access India mates? How are you? My name is Saaqib Mahmood. I'm a 40-year-old visually impaired person from Abbottabad, Pakistan. I have an MPhil degree in Mathematics and have been employed as a college teacher in the Department of Higher Education, Government of NWFP since August 2006. Despite my visual handicap, I have enough eyesight to be able to read and write the ordinary inkprint from about six inches or so though not in the sunlight. I am comfortable reading books on a PC (especially those in the DJVU file format). However, I am also familiar with JAWS as well as braille. In fact, I have two certificates from the Hadley School, USA, in the Unified English Braille (UEB) from the Hadley School for the Blind, USA, and have completed the UEB Online course offered by an institution in Australia. Should I be looking for opportunities of pursuing my PhD degree in Mathematics or some related field at any university in India? Will it be a good idea? What kind of response am I likely to get should I apply for admission to a PhD programme at a university in India? Am I going to be able to avail any facilities / concessions that are available to the blind and visually impaired students? Which universities should I particularly focus on? Anybody over here who could extend me any direct help and support? Regards.

[AI] What is the future of braille in India? Any UEB enthusiasts around here?
Good evening AccessIndia mates! Wish you all the best of life! This is Saaqib Mahmood, a visually impaired (i.e. partially sighted) person from the town of Abbottabad (read Abbott Aubaud) in Pakistan. I've got an MPhil degree in mathematics and have been working as a government college teacher since August 2006. I've introduced myself again for the benefit of those who've never read my posts on AccessIndia. I've since mid-2016 been into learning and mastering the Unified English Braille (UEB). During this while, I've completed three UEB courses over the Internet: the UEB Online course offered by a Renvick Center for the Blind & Deaf, Australia, which is available at the website http://www.uebonline.org and two courses from the Hadley Institute for the Blind & Visually Impaired, USA. I've for the past several months been also reading through the UEB Rulebook Second Edition 2013, in which I'm currently at Sec. 13 Foreign Languages. Are there anybody over here who is also working in the UEB (i.e. learning or teaching the braille code)? If so, let us connect using email or WhatsApp so we could benefit from each other's experiences. More broadly, with the advent of computer and mobile phone access technology tools for the blind and visually impaired people, what is the future of braille in India? Is braille --- especially the English braille --- still relevant in India and is going to remain so in the years to come? Regards.

[AI] Any Blind Or Visually Impaired Bollywood Singer?
Hello AccessIndia mates? Hope you're all fine. I've got a query. I'm wondering if there is, or ever has been, a blind or visually impaired singer, lyricist, or music composer in Bollywood. If not, then what are the causes of this absence of the blind community from one of the fields in which they could potentially do well? As a fan since mid-to-late 1980s of Bollywood singers like Muhammad Aziz, Suresh Wadekar, Udit Narayan, Shabbir Kumar, Kawita Krishnamurthy, Anu Radha Paudwal, along with Muhammad Rafi, Asha Bhosale, Lata Mangeshkar, and Mukesh, I've since boyhood had a dream of singing in the Bollywood. But I ended up opting for a career in mathematics instead. Even now I sometimes yearn to migrate to Mumbai and join a music academy, if any, run by Muhammad Aziz or Suresh Wadekar. Regards.

During the winter holidays of January and February, I've begun upon the book Automate The Boring Stuff With Python by Al Sweigart and have so far reached Chapter 6. However, I've so far not used JAWS in this endeavor. Hence my query over here, which is as follows: How good a job does JAWS do in providing accessibility support to a visually handicapped (especially totally blind) Python programmer or learner of this programming language? >From the posts on that MIT course, I do remember now that, there was a >visually challenged person from India too, but I might not be able to track >him now. Is there anybody on AccessIndia who is pursuing Python programming using JAWS (or NVDA)? If I remember correctly, the Mitra Jyothi also conducted a course on Python. Am I right?

[AI] What is the best option for a blind person for reading scanned PDF documents / books?
Hi AccessIndia mates? How are you? I've got a query. We are running a volunteer service through which we are scanning hard copy books and other printed materials into PDF files and providing those files to the blind and visually impaired students and teachers; we are using Fujitsu's ScanSnap SV600. Now my question is, which is (are) the best option(s) available to a print-impaired individual for accessing the material we provide to them? Should they use JAWS OCR feature? Or should they resort to OpenBook? Or is NVDA the best choice? Or are there any other option(s) that are better than each of the above three? Please also include a detailed enough how-to tutorial in your answer. Regards.

[AI] Any Online Music Classes For The Blind?
Hi AccessIndia mates? How are you? My name is Saaqib Mahmood; I'm a visually impaired person; I've got an MPhil in Mathematics qualification, and I'm working as an assistant professor of mathematics at a mainstream government college. How much I would like to be able to play such musical instruments as keyboard and sitaar! Are there any online vocal and instrumental classes for the blind anywhere in India? Are there any institutes --- like the NAB Delhi or the Mitra Jyothi --- that offer on-campus music classes for the blind and visually impaired people? Regards.

[AI] Any Android-based PDF+DJVU+EPUB reader with an option similar to High Contrast (Black)?
I'm a visually impaired (i.e. partially sighted) person with some reading vision unless in direct sunlight, and that too only from a short distance of about six inches at most! I'm a student of mathematics working as Assistant Professor of Mathematics at a government college in Abbottabad. In order to read electronic books (ebooks), I use WinDjView for .djvu files, Adobe Acrobat Reader for .pdf files, and Epub Reader for .epub files on my Windows-based desktop PC. I'm nowadays using Windows 8.1 on a Dell PC and have the High Contrast (Black) enabled. In WinDjView and Adobe Acrobat Reader, I've also turned on the relevant settings so as to enable me to view my ebooks as white (or light-colored) text against a black (or dark-colored) background. Without this sort of customization, I find viewing the computer screen extremely inconvenient. In order to be able to read "on the go", I'm now looking for a device such as the Samsung's Galaxy Tab A (10.1'). Please visit the following URL for more information about this product. https://www.samsung.com/pk/tablets/galaxy-tab-a10/#specs However, I'm not aware of any Android-based DJVU + PDF + Epub reader software program that offers the High Contrast (Black) or a similar option. Is there any such program? Is there any free app with this feature? What about the Android app called EbookDroid?The reason why I'm not in favor of getting myself a laptop is the disadvantage for me while using a laptop because of the too close proximity of the screen with the keypad, and even using a laptop computer with an extra keyboard isn't really convenient. And, as far as mathematical content goes, the acessibility support available in popular screen reading software programs such as JAWS and NVDA is very elementary yet. Any advice for me from tech-savvy members of the AccessIndia community? Regards.

Hello AccessIndia mates? How are you? I've just this October completed the MITx course INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTER SCIENCE AND PROGRAMMING USING PYTHON on a website called edX.

In August this year, there was a post on this list, if I remember correctly, from an organisation by the name of Mitra Jyoti inviting applications for admission to their course on Python programming via Skype. However, I missed the deadline due to some reason. When is their next intake? And, any other similar initiatives in India or abroad specifically for the visually challenged? Regards.

[AI] Which Hindi, English, Urdu, and Punjabi TV channels from India offer a free live audio stream over the Internet?
Hello AccessIndia mates? How are you? Are there any English, Hindi, Urdu, or Punjabi TV channels in India that offer an option to listen live to their transmission streaming over the Internet? There is such a TV channel in Pakistan called Dunya News. You can listen to their live stream at the following link. http://dunyanews.tv/newsite/live_stream/audio.html Are there any such TV channels in India too, especially those that broadcasts in English, Hindi, Urdu, or Punjabi? There are multiple advantages for having such a live audio stream, as you all can imagine. 1. Listening to live audio stream doesn't require as much bandwidth as watching live video does. 2. A live audio stream can get by with less Internet connectivity, at least as compared to a live video stream. 3. Listening to audio is less demanding on the power battery of your cellphone or laptop than watching video is. Hence my desire to have such live audio stream of my favorite TV channels from India, such as the NDTV (24 7 as well as India), Republic World, India Today, Times Now, DD (News & Urdu), Zee News, Sahaara, and ETV (Urdu). I know that some of these TV channels (e.g. the NDTV 24 7 and India) are but I'm not sure how current their apparently live broadcasts areavailable through such third-party websites as http://www.tunein.com, but I would prefer the listen live option provided by the particular TV channel itself. Please do share any information you may have on this subject. Can the management of any of these channels be approached to get them to provide such listen live stream? If so, then please let us do so! Regards.

[AI] A Request Worth Making: Seeking Broadening of the Scope of the AIR Programmes' Content
Hi AccessIndia mates? Hope you're having a good time. I've got something important to discuss with you here. I've been a listener of the All India Radio (AIR) through the medium and short wave radio since my school days in the late 1980s, and nowadays I've been listening to the AIR broadcasts through their live mobile app on my Android phone. There's one thing that often pinches me about the AIR programmes. There is simply too much music, especially the Bollywood variety. Of the four or five Hindi / Urdu channels available through the AIR Live mobile app (i.e. the AIR FM Gold, Delhi; the AIR FM Rainbow, Delhi; the AIR Vividh Bharati, Mumbai; the AIR Urdu Service; etc.), I've often noticed that Bollywood music is playing concurrently on all of them. And, the same goes for the regional language AIR stations available through the app. Even the live running commentary of the cricket matches broadcast by the AIR is not available through the app outside India; nor are stations like the General Overseas Service of the AIR. And, there is simply no station from either Utttar Pradesh (UP) or Madhiya Pradesh (MP) available through the live app, at least outside India. Nobody can dispute the worth of the Bollywood and its music, and the contribution it has made to India's repute and prestige abroad. Bollywood music is simply beautiful! But the point is that the Bollywood music is available through CDs / DVDs and several Internet websites nowadays even for free ( e.g., through http://www.webmusic.in ). So perhaps the air time of the AIR could be better utilised if AIR adopts an approach similar to the BBC. (Visit https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/ for listening to all the radio stations of the BBC online.). Just like the BBC radio, there should be specialised AIR channels for each of (Bollywood) music, sports, documentaries & currennt affairs, science & tech, awareness & education, and so on. On the BBC radio, especially on the Radio 4 and the World Service channels, there are several programmes devoted to review and reading of books, and even audio podcasts of those programmes are available for free download from the BBC website. (Visit the following link for listening to and downloading the BBC audio podcasts. http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts ) The gist of my argument is this: we the blind and visually impaired persons should approach the management of the AIR and request them to come up with programmes featuring the readings in sweet voices and proper accents of books in Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi, and other languages of India, especially the classics of the literatures of these languages. And, we should also request the AIR management for programmmes on science & tech, including the access technology for the blind! This, I think, would be a much better utilisation of the air time and the resources paid for with money of the public of India! These programmes could also be made available for download from the AIR website as audio podcasts. And, I personally would also like to be able to listen to the AIR channels from Lucknow, Bhopal, and Hyderabad. Hope the AccessIndia community would find this message worth considering. Regards.

Dear Rajesh Asudani, Your concern is a valid one; the NCERT website isn't as easy to download from as before. However, all is not lost! You can still download from the website. But in order for me to show you how to download, we will have to speak on the phone because now the procedure is a bit more complicated. My contact information is as follows.

Re: [AI] Suggestion Required for ADF Scanner
Hi mates? Has anybody used the Fujitsu's ScanSnap SV 600?

Re: [AI] prevent pdf files from opening in the browser
Dear Giriprasad, In order to prevent a PDF document from opening in the browser and instead downloading it onto your computer, do the following. 1. Move to the link to the document in question. 2. Right click on the link (or press the Application Key or Shift + F10) to activate the context menu. 3. On this context menu, move to and activate (by pressing ENTER on) the menu item called Save Target As... 4. This procedure results in the same Save as dialog box that, I'm sure, you're familiar with. Save the file at your desired location. In the above procedure, I'm assuming you are using the Mozilla Firefox web browser. Good luck.

[AI] A Link for Downloading School and College Textbooks of India
Hi AccessIndia mates? It's approaching 2 am. Hope you're enjoying a nice sleep, unlike this insomniac mate of yours! Well, there has been some discussion of links for downloading NCERT textbooks not working properly. Yes, the issue is genuine. They've changed their website only to make things worse. However, here is the link to a page where they've tried to gather textbooks from several publishers, including the NCERT. www.notemonk.com/ For example, you can access NCERT books from the following link. http://www.notemonk.com/ncert/ And, the CBSE textbooks are available at http://www.notemonk.com/cbse_books/ I've just downloaded Marigold, the NCERT English textbook for class 1. It's a 26 MB .zip file. Have a happy journey downloading books, until some quirky fellow gets in the way of these initiatives, which I'm sure you all through your collective voice can prevent from happening. Good night.

[AI] LATEX: An accessible program for communication of mathematical content between the blind and the sighted
Hi dear AccessIndia mates? How's it going?
Let me share with you today something many of you might not be familiar with so
far.
There's a typesetting system called LATEX (pronounced as "latech"). It is
particularly suited to creation of professional looking mathematical documents.
LATEX is part of a larger system called TEX.
In order to set up this system, do the following:
Please note that this is the procedure that I follow; there are other software
for setting up TEX / LATEX.
1. Download the WinEdit text editor set from the following link.
http://www.winedt.com/download.html
Install WinEdit onto your computer. This program is free for use for up to
one month, after which it will continue to work, except that it will keep
poping up the reminder for registration. So you can remove and re-install the
program to get rid of those reminders. The latest version as of now is 10.0.
2. Download and install a program called MikeTex (pronounced "mic tech") 2.9
and install it onto your computer. Here's the link for downloading it fro free.
http://miktex.org/download
The latest version of MikeTex available as of now is 2.9.5872.
Try to leave the default options unchanged during the installation of either
program.
Once these two programs are successfully installed, open WinEdit, press Alt + D
to go to the Document menu, and then press ENTER on the New Document ... menu
item. The shortcut keystroke for these two actions is Shift + Ctrl + N.
This will open the New Document dialog box, with your focus in the list of
document type options available. Use the Up and Down arrow keys to explore the
options available here.
Now press ENTER on the following option: Latex: AMS Article.
This will open a LATEX document with the document template of the American
Mathematical Society (AMS) loaded, with the typing cursor placed in the area
for entering your desired title for the document.
For this intro, first go to the top of the file with CTRL + Home, and read
through the entire document character by character, trying to make sense of the
content of each line, until you reach the end.
Now go to the line with the following text in it.
\begin{document}
Press the Down Arrow key once, and then delete everything before the start of
the line with the following text in it.
\end{document}
Now press Alt + A to go to the Accessories menu and activate the Compile
command. Alternatively, you can also press F9 to compile your document.
Since up to this point we have not saved our document, we will be presented
with the same Save As dialog box which we're all used to in MS Word. In this
dialog, save your file by first creating a new blank folder, and then name and
save your file in that new folder.
Now place your insertion cursor in the line after the line which contains the
text, \begin{document}, press ENTER, and then type the following. JAWS users
please read character by character.
$$ \frac 1 2 + \frac 3 4 = \frac 5 4 = 1 \frac 1 4. $$
Or, write
$$ \frac{1}{2} + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{5}{4} = 1 \frac{1}{4}. $$
The double dollar signs signify the beginning and end of the mathematical
content on a line of its own.
The string "\frac" means fraction.
If either of the numerator or the denominator consists of more than one
character, then we will write
\frac{ numerator }{ denominator }
JAWS users please read these lines character by character.
Of course you would replace the word numerator with its corresponding value,
and same for the denominator.
Next, compile by pressing F9 or by pressing Alt + A followed by ENTER.
After a little while read the title of your window (for JAWS users), and you'll
notice that you are in Adobe Acrobat Reader and the fraction addition is
showing in the PDF document with the same name as the name that you've given to
your file.
This PDF is more useful for a sighted person; a blind person can go through the
original latex code and decipher whatever mathematical content is contained
therein.

You can also join the BlindMath mailing list in order to hear from other blind
mathematician. Here's the link.

I can share several books for free with those who are interested in learning

[AI] What Facilities Are Visually Handicapped Students Entitled To At Universities In India?
Hi AccessIndia mates? Congratulations on India's convincing win over Pakistan last weekend and their narrow victory against Bangladesh just awhile ago! I have a couple of questions regarding the facilities available to the blind and visually impaired students at Indian universities. Are visually challenged students entitled to 1. full or partial exemption in tuition fees and other charges at universities such as JNU, Univ. of Delhi, Univ. of Mumbai, and the IITs? 2. avail any other special facilities and / or accommodations? 3. admission on some special quota reserved for them? If so, how much is this reservation? 4. any facilities for studying the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) subjects? Regards.

[AI] What is the difference between these two options for embossing of books into braille?
Hi mates? Hope you're doing well. I have a question regarding embossing into braille of printed materials, especially mathematical content. We have access to OpenBook for scanning and OCR, the DBT for braille editing, and the Index Braille's Everset-D V4 embosser. Option 1. We scan a print book using OpenBook, convert it into a Microsoft Word document, and thn emboss it into braille using the Everest-D V4. Option 2. We painstakingly prepare an electronic braille document (or a bunch of documents) using the DBT software and then emboss. What would be the difference in the braille output between the above two options, (i) in case of literary materials and (ii) particularly in case of mathematics and science books?

[AI] Fujitsu ScanSnap SV600: How suitable do you find this device For Scanning and OCR of books?
Hi mates? How's it going? I've got a query relating to scanning and OCR. Blind and visually impaired students and teachers need to do a lot of scanning and OCR of printed books. With the common flatbed scanners, putting the book face down on the scanner bed can lead to the book spine to get damaged; sometimes the page doesn't scan properly due to thickness of the book. Here's the link to a couple of page containing information about a scanning device that I think would be more suitable for this purpose. This device is called the Fujitsu's ScanSnap SV600. Manufacturer's pages: 1. http://www.fujitsu.com/global/products/computing/peripheral/scanners/scansnap/sv600/ 2. http://scanners.fcpa.fujitsu.com/scansnap11/features_sv600.html My google search page: https://www.google.com/search?q=Fujitsu+ScanSnap+SV600&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 Has anyone used this device? If so, what is your experience like of its performance? Do you find this scanner to be any better for the job of scanning and OCR of, say, a 800-page book? Regards.

[AI] T20I Asia Cup 2016: Live Radio Commentary
Hello to everyone here on the AccessIndia forum. A few days ago, someone, probably from somewhere in Europe, inquired about an Internet radio station broadcasting the ongoing Asia Cup T20I matches.

However, a live commentary of the match IS being broadcast by Radio Pakistan. Visit the following link. http://www.radio.gov.pk/# Then click "Audio Streaming", followed by "WMA MP3" on the top left corner of the pop-up control that appears upon clicking "Audio Streaming".

[AI] To introduce myself to the AccessIndia community
Hello to everyone here at the Access India forum. I'm a visually impaired person with an MPhil in mathematics, and I've been teaching mathematics as a lecturer at a mainstream college in the provincial government's department of higher education department. I've also been a member of the RNIB from 2004 to 2006. I've also been a Hadley School for the Blind student since Nov. 2004 and have so far completed courses in English, the Nemeth Code, word processing, the Internet basics; nowadays I'm pursuing a course on the Unified English Braille (UEB) and chess! Though I know braille and am familiar with JAWS and MAGic, in my teaching of mathematics [ I've been for the last few years teaching analysis and functional analysis to the BS in Mathematics students.] I mostly rely on my residual vision: I'm able to read the inkprint and write using my eyesight, though from a distance of hardly six inches and that too not in the sunlight! My schooling started at a local school for sighted children in 1986, where I stayed for less than a year before being admitted to my local school for the blind in 1987, and I stayed at that school till 1994, when I passed my matriculation examination and joined college [It was the same college where I'm teaching now.] Even during my studies at that school for the blind, I remained in touch with the inkprint reading and writing (entirely on my own!) and so was able to start college without having to use braille or audio. At college, I opted for mathematics, statistics, and economics as my intermediate-level subject combination, but our mathematics education at the school for the blind was extremely poor! My eyesight problem and poor financial family background [My father worked as a truck driver.] meant that I had to mostly do without any tutorial support; the result was that in my Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSSC) I could manage to score only 62%. Although I kept myself in touch with inkprint right through my blind school years, my handwriting was still too slow and child-like even when I joined college, resulting in my compulsion to rely on a sighted person to write my exam papers for me, which is a not-so-easy task in mathematical subjects. I had to engage a sighted person as a writer in my HSSC, 2-year B.Sc., and 2-year M.Sc. exams. It was only in my MPhil coursework that I could muster enough confidence in my handwriting to write my own exam papers. The difference was that, unlike my previous board and university examinations which had all been under an annual system and marked externally, the MPhil papers were set and marked by the very instructor who was teaching the course. I also started learning JAWS scripting back in 2005 but then couldn't hold on to it due to one reason or the other. Nowadays, I'm learning the Python programming language from a video course taught by a Prof. John Guttag back in 2011 and now available at the MIT Open CourseWare (OCW) website. Although I did study one semester of M.Sc. in Computer Science back in 1999, I would still rate my computer experties at the beginner's level (or thereabouts). I feel that I started on so many things without being to stick to anything in particular. I post my question to a webstie called Stack Exchange, particularly on the Mathematics Stack Exchange. Here's the link to my MSE profile. http://math.stackexchange.com/users/59734/saaqib-mahmuud I occasionally post on Facebook as well and have liked the NDTV Facebook page, as well as that of Burkha Dutt. BBC Urdu and Hindi are both my favorites (perhaps the latter more than the former); I also would like to be able to access Doordarshan Urdu. I've also been a reader of the Matilda Ziegler Magazine for the Blind from Aug. 2001 till Nov. 2009, when they stopped their braille edition. Due to my rather limited Internet bandwidth, the live video streaming is often not good enough; so I wish that NDTV 24 7, NDTV India, and Doordarshan each could also start a live audio stream, just like the live audio streams of Dunya News TV, a Pakistani channel. Would anyone here also like to concur with me on this point? I think I've introduced myself quite thoroughly (a little too thoroughly, I'm afraid). Anyway, should anybody like to get in touch with me, here's my contact information. Mobile Phone Number: 0092-346-952-7638 Number for WhatsApp: 0092-334-541-7958 E-mail: saaqib1...@yahoo.co.in I can also give out my postal (or geographical) address, should anybody want it.

[AI] Request for Audio Tutorials on Scripting in JAWS 17
Hi to all of you at the AccessIndia mailing list!! In 2005, I had a chance of listening to a series of MP3 tutorials on JAWS scripting; I tried to practice and follow along with each lesson. However, that tutorials was a bit too brief. Moreover, both Windows JAWS have come a long way since then. So, I would appreciate some link(s) for a more detailed and comprehensive JAWS scripting tutorial --- in text, audio, or video --- based on the more recent version(s) of JAWS, esp. JAWS 17. Please also feel free to share similar information for other advanced topics related to JAWS. Regards.

[AI] A Few Queries: Please Answer If You Have The Relevant Information
Hello everyone at the AccessIndia mailing list. I have the following queries--- some general and some blindness-related: Are there any solar-powered room heaters, air conditioners, ceiling fans, refrigerators, or any others of the common home appliances? If so, which items? And, who are the international manufacturers of these items? Where on the Internet can I download the Bharati Urdu braille code in PDF format? Is there any individual or organisation in India who can donate braille books in the Urdu language? Is there any website from India which offers audio books --- in Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi, or English --- for free download? Last but not the least, how good is the latest version of JAWS for accessing mathematical content --- either in PDF documents or on the Internet? Regards.
