Re: [AI] Course of accessibility certification

[Shilpi Kapoor]

Hi Mohit,

There is a certification renewal with IAAP. You can read more about it at 
https://www.accessibilityassociation.org/content.asp?contentid=395

In short, IAAP certification is valid for 3 years. Every three years, 
certificants will be required to:

- Complete a specified number of hours of continuing accessibility education 
credits (dependent upon credential), which must be approved by IAAP
- Submit an application for certification renewal
- Pay the certification renewal fee at time of renewal. For IAAP members, the 
renewal fee is waived as part of your membership benefits as long as your 
membership has not lapsed during the three year period.

Let me know if you have any other questions about IAAP.

Regards
Shilpi Kapoor

Re: [AI] Netflix started providing Hindi audio descriptions of some of its Hindi web series in India.

[Shilpi Kapoor]

Hi All, 

I had reached out to an Amazon Prime person who is focusing on Accessibility 
with this thread. He has shared the below:


"Thank you for forwarding the feedback. Amazon Prime Video does have Audio 
Descriptions for a all English Amazon Originals. Would you be able to pass this 
on to the customers and see if they are able to see AD. Customers should be 
able to turn on Audio Descriptions by playing a title and changing the audio 
language to English [Audio Descriptions] and it should be available on all 
devices like mobile apps, or Prime Video website. If they are unable to play 
AD, I would be happy to take a look."

Hope this helps. 

Regards
Shilpi

Re: [AI] Empathy, Sympathy, Pity, Charity, Inclusive Society – Hypocrisy!!!

[Shilpi Kapoor]

Hi Arun, 

We at Newzhook (www.newzhook.com) have been covering stories about the people! 
People like Nidhi Goyal, Amar Jain and so many more like Shagun Pathak and many 
more that never get mentioned or talked about!

I think we need to celebrate people with disabilities everyday of the year!

Hi Arun,

I read your mail to the group. I understand your feelings and feel that you
are justified in voicing it.
I just wanted to let you know that I am very senior person who comes with a
volunteering experience of about 19 years and now i am on the Board of NAB
Karnataka.
After being in this field after much thinking i launched my NGO Inclusion
Beyond Abilities Trust and for the launch i called upon two friends from
this community to do the hosting which was so
well appreciated and there was a newspaper coverage also about them. The
Commissioner for disabilities launched and these two people who did the
hosting also got the same coverage.
I am putting in my best efforts and working hard to make the society
inclusive and the vision of my NGO is also to make recreational and
wellness activities inclusive.
Art of Living and Ripples of Change Foundation are partnering with us and
will soon start taking classes over the weekends.

Hope this work of mine will be appreciated by you and all other friends in
this group and i need your support.

Thanks,
Lakshmi Ravishankar

Re: [AI] Newz Hook Clarification on Ajay Minocha Story

Hi Akash, 

Technically as per RPWD, there are 21 disabilities listed and Low Vision & 
Blind are listed separately. 

I would recommend you take on the definition with the Department, Government or 
then the advocacy groups.

[AI] Newz Hook Clarification on Ajay Minocha Story

[Shilpi Kapoor]

Hi All,

 

At Newz Hook, we pride ourselves is sharing stories about the amazing work 
being done by people with disabilities, their achievements, their challenges. 
There is so little done to share the good that is happening around people with 
disabilities. 

 

We, Newz Hook stands by our story regarding Ajay Minocha being the "first blind 
CFA charter holder from India. The only other CFA charter holder has low 
vision. He also has the relevant work experience required for the CFA charter 
which makes all the facts stated true.” 

 

We understand that some confusion may have arisen over the initial headline 
which said Ajay Minocha is the first VI person. Upon receiving an update, 
NewzHook immediately corrected the headline to say first blind person

 

We would also like to congratulate Ajay Minocha for having achieved this. We 
don’t want to take away from any other person, but we believe that successes 
like this need to be shared and applauded.

 

Thanks

Shilpi Kapoor

CEO, Newz Hook

I tried 6by6 in my Moto mobile phone. Android 7 version.

Its accuracy is good. Nearly 75 percent of the results are correct.

It is quick also.

Good effort.

Thank you.

Re: [AI] Currency Detector

[Shilpi Kapoor]

Hi Ravi,
Thank you for your mail. Please do provide suggestions to help us better this. 
We have tried to reduce the time to recognize and also have ensured that the 
app works offline. 

We are currently working on getting some of the new notes added to the dataset. 
I do agree that we should be able to add new currencies as they get added and 
that is exactly our endeavor. 

It would be great if you can share you contact information at 
6...@barrierbreak.com and all of us at 6 by 6, would be happy to work with you 
and anyone else on this. 

We understand the challenges and look at technology as an enabler not a 
replacement to accessible currency. 

Appreciate your feedback and thoughts on this.

Regards
Shilpi

Hi, 6 by 6 team, thanks for your efforts in bringing some kind of
solution to the problem of currency recognition through an  android
app.
As this is still in the starting level or at the developmental stage,
there might be some problems while recognizing notes and other
problems.
I'm glad to try out your app and provide you with constructive
feedback so it might be helpful in making still more improvements.
I don't have any mind of commenting about your app severely, because,
I'm glad you are trying to do something useful to visually impaired
community I'm glad about that.
I can agree with the opinion that, when we are outside it poses a
problem in instantly recognizing the notes quickly while paying at an
establishment, maul, taxy drivers etc.
So my suggestion is, if possible, kindly reduce the time the app takes
to recognize a note, if possible, it should be very short.
If the time of recognition is reduced, it will surely reach it's purpose.
Further, Some say, the currency have to be made accessible for
visually impaired, Yes I Agree with the statement, "they should be
made accessible."
However, there are many flaws in the idea, or, the approach to it has
to be considered in a different manner.
For example, if they make some notes with some markings which can be
felt by us and find out what denomination it is, many of the times, as
the currency flows through many hands and through ATM's, those
markings on the note get very soft or undetectible as time passes.
Further, When we say, currency should be made accessible, they cannot
withdraw all existing notes of every denomination and reprint them
with accessible marking or any kind of accessibility.
For that, alternatively We can notify the proper powers to bring some
kind of app or a gadget which might assist us in the day to day
problem of identifying currency notes.
Okay, some people may not be having android phones, or still might be
using older phones.
One solution for all this is, bringing a portable, light wait,
handheld, miniature, battery powered, chargeable, device, about the
size of the regular debit or credit card, which should recognize the
note when placed on it, or something near to that.
 which should be accurate and should be able to recognize currency
notes of every denomination within the time of one or two seconds and
give audible feedback to the user in the kind of speach what value of
note it has detected.
And, later, if any changes are made to any notes, or if any new notes
are released, the device's software should be able to update over our
phone's bluetooth or by connecting it to our computer like that, so it
will be having updated software about the newly released notes also.
If this idea is incorporated and some proper people and powers take
interest in the matter, this might become a very useful and final
solution for all the problems we are having in day to day transaction
of our indian currency notes.
Hope this is not negative in any manner.
Thank you.

Re: [AI] Currency Detector

[Shilpi Kapoor]

Great to see this dialogue! 

In general, technology can assist to make our lives easier. How we use it and 
in the situations we use it, will depend on us. 

Technology always comes with its pros and cons and doesn’t take away from the 
actual solution being accessible, which in this case is currency!

Technology is a choice and it depends on the people who find it useful. I think 
this is true to all things technology.

[AI] Currency Detector

[Shilpi Kapoor]

Hi All,

With all the conversation around challenges with the currency, BarrierBreak has 
taken the initiative to develop an app called 6 by 6. 6 by 6 has 3 different 
tools and another few are being built. The 3 tools are:
- Currency Detector
- Light Detector
- Magnifier

This app is currently on the Android platform and can be downloaded from the 
Playstore - 
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.barrierbreak.fin=en

We know that some of you'll are already using it and we have received feedback 
which we have incorporated also. We know that some currency notes are not as 
well recognized like the Rs. 50 note and are working on this. 

Instructions to help you get an accurate prediction - 

- Hold the Currency between 5-6 inches from the phone.
- Place the Currency on an even surface or in a straight position in your palm.
- Tap on the screen to get an accurate prediction.

We have also made some videos to help you use the app better - 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqu_Yw0EWeQ 

It would be great if you'll would download the app and give us feedback, since 
we would like to make the app better. Please feel to write to us at 
6...@barrierbreak.com 

We will also be holding sessions in different organizations to show the app to 
your students and members. If you would like us to hold a Free session at your 
NGO, School or College, please write to us at 6...@barrierbreak.com

Thanks

Re: [AI] For accessibility tester career option

[Shilpi Kapoor]

Hi Mohit, 

With regards to IAAP Exams, there are 2 exams. I am also providing the link to 
the Body of Knowledge (BOK) which is a great place to start to prepare for the 
exams:
1. CPACC - https://www.accessibilityassociation.org/content.asp?contentid=356 
2. WAS - https://www.accessibilityassociation.org/content.asp?contentid=458 

If you do pass both the exams, you have the accreditation of CPWA.

For an accessibility tester role, the WAS exam is what I would recommend. It is 
an exam, where you have to go beyond the theory and ideally should have working 
knowledge. 

BarrierBreak's office in Mumbai holds the proctored exams for people who would 
like to give the exam using assistive technology. You can see the dates at 
https://www.accessibilityassociation.org/certification#Exam%20Locations

Hope that helps.

[AI] Audio Description - #Accessibility #DailyDose

[Shilpi Kapoor]

Want to experience Audio Description? 

 

View, Listen and enjoy the lovely clip of Lion King with Audio Description. 
Listen for the different voices & sounds. Hear the narrative described! 

 

Honestly, didn't you enjoy the experience and actually for me I feel I often 
ignore so much happening on the screen. 

 

A truly amazing experience!

[AI] #Accessibility #DailyDose - Language

[Shilpi Kapoor]

Hi All,

 

I know a lot of you are interested in knowing more on accessibility. I write a 
post on weekdays on LinkedIn on #Accessibility. Thought I will post it here 
also for the benefit of people from Access India. 

 

You can also connect with me on LinkedIn or then follow my Twitter feed to get 
access to this also.

 

#Accessibility #DailyDose 

If you speak in English, French or Hindi for that matter, don't you think it 
would be helpful for people to know what language you are speaking in.  

 

Well, the same applies to your web page content. 

 

Specify the HTML lang attribute whether at a page level or if you have a 
paragraph in a different language.  Something so small can let the screen 
reader choose the relevant voice, can assist in your search engine results or 
even to translate content to a language you understand.

 

 

Thanks

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

[Shilpi Kapoor]

Hi All, 
Great to see this dialogue on screen readers and what do we teach and what do 
we use. 

Here is my two bits and I won't go to the point of saying teach one or another: 
- We need to ensure that students have an early initiation to Screen Readers. 
They should be able to access technology as early as their peers. What we have 
to teach is the concepts of the screen reader! For example, what is a desktop, 
what is a start button, how does it behave, what is a page, how can we use the 
calculator. At that stage, even a Narrator is great as exposure. Let's 
understand that Narrator is getting better. It is already in the operating 
system, it has no additional cost. I honestly believe it is the right step at 
schools. 

- As the needs of the person increase on what they have to do, then the choice 
of screen reader is based on what they want to do with it. If the usage is for 
Excel and at that point NVDA or JAWS is better for their work, that choice 
should be theirs and based on the use case. 

I think instead of worrying of which is the right screen reader, we need to see 
how to make screen readers that important tool early on in students lives. 

After teaching loads of people computers and hiring lots of people with 
disabilities, we need people to be agile in their use of technology. In 
technology, you have to be able to adapt. 

I hear Vasu, when he says reasonable accommodation. But I also know that as 
organizations we decide what technology a person will use. That is the reality. 
You find some people say we use a particular software as an organization, must 
be as simple as Skype for Business and another might say we use Zoom for the 
same purpose of online conferencing. 
We need to be ready to explore different solutions.

Regards
Shilpi

George,
Here is a link to Keyboard commands of Narrator:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-in/help/22806/windows-10-narrator-keyboard-commands-touch-gestures

Harish, I respectfully disagree to the point if organizations have
restrictions to downloads applications such as NVDA; that's a reasonable
accommodation and organizations cannot deny. Until Narrator comes to a
decent level where we can use on usual applications like excel etc.,  I
would not prefer providing this as an otpion to use at organizations.

Thanks,
Srinivasu

[AI] How are people with disabilities perceived by themselves and others?

[Shilpi Kapoor]

A Blog Post that is written by Shilpi Kapoor

Let me start by saying this is my view and I am sure lots of you may agree or 
disagree with me and I am fine with that! It's good to have differences.

Yes, I believe people with disabilities can do everything. Let me say this 
again, I believe that people with disabilities can do everything.

In a way, I have proved this through Barrierbreak, where people with 
disabilities co-exist with everyone. 

In the last 18+ years, I have interacted with so many people with disabilities. 
Each of them see’s themselves differently. Again exactly like the rest of the 
world and why not:
•   Some people believe that they have been brave leaving their house 
irrespective of their disability. This might be a small achievement for some 
but a very big thing for that person.
•   For others, they have managed to travel the world and might look that 
leaving the house as a too small an achievement
•   Some people believe that they would like to be referred to as 
differently abled, others people they should be called people with disabilities
•   Some people believe that they can do everything and others might doubt 
themselves and need support

People have different thresholds, skills, ambitions, etc. People interpret 
their own challenges, opportunities, achievements as they see them. Let’s 
celebrate the differences. I am not saying this for only society at large but 
it’s also about how people with disabilities see themselves as well as each 
other.

Let’s embrace that! Let’s not question it. 

Let’s inspire people to jump the hurdles that life gives them and celebrate the 
small and large wins.

As I am writing this, doesn’t it sounds like each & everyone of us?

Since I founded, Newz Hook – India’s first Inclusive & Accessible News Media 
site focusing on disability, accessibility and inclusion, these differences 
have become more apparent to me. 

We share news and stories about people and these people view themselves in a 
certain way. Who am I to judge. What we are here to do is share their stories. 

My own and my editor Shai Venkatraman’s opinion aside, it’s about the people! 

Let’s come together to change attitudes towards people with disabilities!

Hi George, 

You can buy a lapel mic and connect or a wireless one also, so that can be on 
you and the clarity would be there.

Hi!

 

Looking for simple ideas in terms of getting good quality recording while
shooting videos on an iPhone.

 

When shooting a video, we are atleast 9 to 10 feet away from the speaker or
singer. This has an impact on audio recording quality. Is there any tech
solutions to improve the audio ?
