[AI] Voice-enabled set-top boxes
Hi all, In some countries, DTH service providers provide voice-enabled set-top boxes for visually impaired people. So, can't we ask the DTH service providers in India to also do the same? We can also take legal assistance if they refuse to accept our demands. What do you all think about this?

Re: [AI] Voice-enabled set-top boxes
Rahul, I think, that's one of the objectives of the National Policy on Electronics Accessibility (http://india.gov.in/images/hp/dnp.pdf) and once this policy comes into existence, that would be applicable to DTH providers too. Meanwhile, we can sensitize the DTH providers about the accessibility and show them the resources available world wide; something similar to the good efforts being put in by XRCVC for accessible ATMs. Rahul and others, I think, we should talk about legal aspects as a last thing; in this case, have we done enough work? Has any of us requested our service providers and got a denial? BTW, thanks for bringing this up, I shall write to Airtel soon I compile complete data on Accessible Set top box.

Re: [AI] Voice-enabled set-top boxes
Hi, Yes, like I said in my first post, we should think about legal assistance only if all attempts to convince the DTH service providers fail. I never knew about this policy. What is its current status? The document is more than a year old.
