Dear all, I have some sort of solution to offer for problems faced by the visually impaired in restaurants. We all know that blind & low vision people have to depend upon their sighted friends for reading out the menu or they just ask the waiter who may not read out all the options. Overall, visually impaired are not able to enjoy the eating out experience.
We have prepared a Popular Restaurants Menu Guide which contains complete menus of major restaurant chains such as McDonald's, Pizza Hut, Dominos, KFC, UDIPI, Sagar Ratna etc. One can look up this menu at home before giving an order for home delivery or when in the restaurant look up the menu in the mobile phone. I will provide it as a DAISY Talking Book & easy to read HTML format during the Accessindia convention. Please do not ask for it now, I have to give some finishing touches and it will be ready just before the convention. Afterwards I will make it available for download. Another reason for this initiative is the fact that although most restaurants offer their menu on the internet, unfortunately their websites are not accessible. Their webpages carry attractive pictures of the dishes which is not easily readable with screen reader. Hope it will be of use to many and others will also create similar guides for covering more restaurants and places.
