[AI] Market for Audio Books in India.
Dear all, I am currently associated with booksTALK mentioned in the article. While us VI folks primarily use audio media for consuming content, more and more non-disabled folks are beginning to enjoy audiobooks. For example, one of our customer happily reported that where he did not read a single book in previous 14 months, he finished our audiobooks called Jaya (Mahabharatha) and The Secret of The Nagas in 2 weeks. Many of my sighted friends also enjoy listening to audiobooks now. I hope that this trend continues so that we have more and more audiobooks coming out.

Re: [AI] VI persons in politics
Dear all, This is turning out to be an interesting discussion. I understand that the visually challenged community is not of a substantial size to be able to effectively influence an election. However, how about we broaden the scope and rally the entire disabled community at large. Further, if we were able to enlist support of the family and friends of the members of the disabled community, perhaps we would be able to reach a critical mass.

In case anyone of you has signed the petition, please advise on how to go about signing the same. Regards, Apoorv ---Original message Date: Mon, 27 May 2013 17:34:12 +0530 From: Xavier's Resource Centre for the Visuall St. Xavier's College xr...@hotmail.com To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in accessindia@accessindia.org.in Subject: [AI] FW: Urgent Help - Please sign the petition Message-ID: bay161-w55279b303b3da30d52827ab3...@phx.gbl Content-Type: text/plain; charset=Windows-1252 Dear All The following email is self explanatory and needs our urgent endorsement, If the treaty for the visually impaired is to succeed at all.Please sign the following two online petitions and also link them to your social networking sites. Awareness on the issue needs to go viral. It is sad that vested interests want to derail the labour of many years and keep the blind in the dark. Your immediate co-operation is solicited. The first one is as follows Dear Friends:Blind and print-disabled people in the United States and across the world need your help to relieve the worldwide book famine that prevents us from receiving an education, attaining employment, and fully participating in society. The World Intellectual Property Organization is considering a treaty that would make more books available to blind and print-disabled people all over the world by promoting an exception to copyright law allowing books to be produced in special formats like Braille and to be shared across international borders. This treaty is called the Treaty for the Blind or the VIP Treaty. Unfortunately, publishers, big media, and other rights holders like GE and Caterpillar, some of whom have nothing to do with the publishing of books at all, are complicating the negotiations in an attempt to water down or kill the treaty. You can help by sending a strong message that you support a treaty that helps the blind and print disabled get access to more books. Please sign the petition at https://nfb.org/civicrm/petition/sign?sid=2 https://nfb.org/civicrm/petition/sign?sid=2reset=1Also reset=1Also, please share the petition link with your family, friends, and others who you feel will support this effort.Thank you for your support.John G. Par? Jr.Executive Director for Advocacy and Policy NATIONAL FEDERATION OF THE BLIND The second petition is It?s not typical for us to send you an email like this, but we felt this situation was so important it was necessary. You may already be aware, but for years negotiations have been moving forward on what many have come to call the Treaty for the Blind. The goal of the international treaty is to make it possible for people who are blind, or have other print disabilities such as dyslexia, to get access to the books they need for education, employment and inclusion in society?no matter where they live. It's something we already do, with great success, in the United States through Bookshare.However, private interests are trying to alter the treaty in such a way that it would become useless?even harmful. For example, they?re trying to get language adopted that basically says: ?if you can buy it, you can?t borrow it.? This is not only an attack on people around the world with print disabilities?it?s also an attack on libraries, like Bookshare, and could have a drastic effect on the number of books you have access to. Our biggest worry is this becoming a treaty that could stop Bookshare from serving our users in the United States the way we do today. We need our government negotiating for a treaty that supports a library like Bookshare. That?s why we?re working with a coalition of disability and library groups, including the National Federation of the Blind and the American Council of the Blind, to fight back against the proposed changes by these private interests. We?ll do everything we can to secure a treaty that both protects the access we have now and that will benefit people with print disabilities around the world?but we need your help. We?re asking you to take a moment to sign a petition on the White House?s website that urges the President to step up his support:http://ow.ly/lkJVs. If we can get to 100,000 signatures, the White House is required to respond to the petition and will, hopefully, take positive action. With your help we know we can reach that number. We also recommend the petition at the National Federation of the Blind?s site, which is particularly accessible. Thank you for your time and support. Together, we believe that our collective voice can make a real impact. If you?re interested in more background on the treaty, here are some articles and resources you can review:Huffington Post piece by Jim on how the treaty is being poisoned by private interests:

Dear all, Firstly, I applaud use of the Accessindia forum for such constructive initiatives.

Dear all, It's wonderful to know that there is some interest around starting a monthly AI magazine. The good news is that a brail lifestyle magazine called White Paper has recently been started with its first issue being published in this month. I believe that rather than starting a new AI magazine, we should start subscribing and contributing to this new magazine. By c consolidating our effort instead of fragmenting it by introducing a new magazine we will be able to generate greater value for the community. Besides, printing and publishing a monthly magazine brings its own a logistical and financial challenges. Regards.

[AI] Delivering a speech or presentation
Hello Rahul, You have a very valid point, body language is critical in public speaking. There's a reason why it is said that actions speak louder than words. Tell me something, do you find nodding your head whenever you answer a question in affirmative? Or do you find yourself cowering back whenever you feel threatened or dominated? You see, your body is talking all the time. It doesn't matter if you're sighted or, low vision, or blind, your body does communicate. So when you say that you don't make gestures while delivering a presentations, it just shows that you are not completely relaxed. For example, when I stood to deliver my first speech, I made two important discoveries. One, I had two hands, and two, I had no clue what to do with them. So, I did what every self-respecting school boy does, I folded my hands and started reciting my speech from memory. I guess that I must have looked like a talking statue, for I swear, the only things moving in my body, besides my heart which was beating like an automatic machinegun, were my lips. Over a period of time, I have become somewhat better at public speaking, and in my body language. So how do you go about working on your body language? 1. Know what you are speaking. It is crucial that you know everything about your topic of presentation. This does not mean that you memorise your speech word for word. It just means that you should know your content well enough that if need be, you should be able to convey the message in your own words. 2. stick to your style. Do you use ornamented language in your day-to-day interactions? If no, don't use flowery language in your speeches. As the saying goes, keep it simple silly. 3. modulate your voice. Ok, this needs some work. Try to modulate your voice in your regular interactions consciously. Once you start doing this, modulation will become a habit and will come through in speeches naturally. This will make your speeches more engaging. 4. Pay attention to your hand gestures, and use them often when you generally talk to people. This habit will make it easier for you to have an engaging body language in your presentation. 5. Be relaxed while giving presentations. Don't overburden yourself with expectations. In fact, think that you are the biggest idiot in the room. Now, you cannot go any lower in the pecking order, can you? Being freed from any performance pressure, go ahead and deliver an excellent speech. Lastly, remember that you should have good content in your presentation. An ineffective body language will not destroy a presentation, but poor content will surely do. So have crisp and relevant content. Warm regards all the best for your future presentations, Apoorv Register at the dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobile phones / Tabs on: http://mail.accessindia.org.in/mailman/listinfo/mobile.accessindia_accessindia.org.in Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/accessindia@accessindia.org.in/ To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.

Re: [AI] Training
Hello Kanchan mam, A topic one could cover is how to communicate once nature of disability, and how to fine tune job responsibilities to enable one to work most effectively. A parallel example that I can recall is the training a company use to give its women employees and its managers to bring out points around working hours for women, work from home for single or expecting mothers, modifying work settings during pregnancy, etc. I think that having a professional and non-disabled prospective on discussing disability at work place will bolster an individual's confidence to have a mature discussion, without feeling apprehensive or ashamed about it.

I wanted some insights into the level of accessibility of SAP with JAWS. What would probably be best is if any of you using JAWS to work on SAP on a day-to-day basis share your experience. Looking forward to hearing from you, Regards, Apoorv Register at the dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobile phones / Tabs on: http://mail.accessindia.org.in/mailman/listinfo/mobile.accessindia_accessindia.org.in Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/accessindia@accessindia.org.in/ To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.

Re: [AI] Portals on Jobs, scribe and readers - how can we strengthen the initiatives?
Dear all, A helpful step may be to educate the prospective employers. Agreed, reaching employers across India is difficult, and frankly somewhat inefficient. Alternatively, we can organise presentations at leading business schools like IIMs, ISB and others to show the students how visually challenged individuals work. Having seen some talented individuals from VI community work using assistive technology would help the students gain an educated prospective. The business schools too, I presume, would encourage such initiatives as it helps to groom a mature and informed alumni base. These students would go to reputed organisations and, hopefully, be more receptive towards visually challenged job applicants. Once the change begins at the top (market leading companies) and the base (at business schools), it will gather momentum and spread.

[AI] A brief review of Fleksy - an IOS app to make typing easy
Anyone who uses a touch screen mobile is surely missing their old and trusted tactile keyboard. Typing on a touch screen takes longer than typing on a regular mobile. However, a popular app called Fleksy has changed it all. Believe it or not , typing on a touch screen is a complete delight now. In fact it is many times better than even using a hard keyboard. This app is available for IOS and works on iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. Basically, Fleksy uses an ultra-powerful predictive text typing technology which is optimised for touch screens. The user has to tap the screen approximately trying to hit the desired key. Don't worry, you have to tap approximately where you imagine the letter is on a qwerty keyboard. The app detects the relative taps and miraculously guesses the correct word. Adding punctuations, spaces, deleting or changing words are all achieved using simple swipe gestures. You can even type custom words like Indian names which are not there in the app dictionary. Do you use some words which are not there in the app dictionary often? No problem. The app lets you add new words to the dictionary, again using simple gestures. Put all these features together, and you have one of the most intuitive typing experience on any smart phone. And the best part is that this app works seamlessly with voiceover. The app comes with easy to understand detailed instructions. What's more, the app is free so that you can try it without any risk. However, in the free version, you can just experiment with the typing and can't do anything much. To use the app to send messages, emails, tweets etc., you will have to upgrade by making an in app purchase. The upgrade will cost you around Rs. 200, but it will be the best Rs. 200 you would have spent. To see a video demonstration of fleksy, visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YP5goKA4dQ Overall, the app works like magic and has a very short learning curve. It is so good that you would want to send text messages just so that you can use this app. This app gets 5 stars from me. To get the app from iTunes, visit https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fleksy-happy-typing/id520337246?mt=8 Register at the dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobile phones / Tabs on: http://mail.accessindia.org.in/mailman/listinfo/mobile.accessindia_accessindia.org.in Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/accessindia@accessindia.org.in/ To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.

[AI] Software for creating audiobooks
Dear All, I recently came across a software called “Text aloud” from a company called “Nextup”. The said software can be used to create audio files from text/word/pdf files. I am sure many of us would find the same useful for say, reviewing legal documents, news articles, emails, ebooks converted into audiobook etc. Bothe Sappy 4 and Sappy 5 voices are supported by the software. Sappy 5 voices can be purchased from ATNT and a few other companies. I believe that openbook reader from freedomscientific is another software which can be a substitute of text aloud. However I did not have the privilege of using the same. Hope we all find this info useful.
