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.

Hi George

You would have seen in the news report regarding BGFI petition, the demand for 
accessible currency is strongly pitched for. The demand is that RBI formulates 
design guidelines taking into consideration the needs of VI persons.

We know it will not be possible to phase out inaccessible currency in one go.

Technology is therefore just an interim solution. By no means a final solution. 
We are very clear and articulate about it.

I can't imagine the scene. I shall take the note from my pocket or wallet to my

reminds me of a very famous Bengali story of the sixties by Shibram Chakraborty.

A bus conductor is brought for trial for slapping a lady.

Judge: Why did you slap a lady passenger?

Conductor: When I went to the lady for ticket, she opened a handbag. She 
fumbled inside it for some time and brought out a small pouch from it. She then 
opened the pouch and brought out a purse. She then produced a paper pack from 
it. She unfolded the paper and produced a 10 paise. But by then I had moved 
forward to the front side of the bus, approaching other passengers for 
ticketts. She wrapped the paisa inside the paper, placed it in the purse, 
placed the purse in the pouch, and then put the pouch in the handbag and put 
the zipper in place.  Five minutes later, I asked her for ticket agaij. She 
opened the handbag, brought out the pouch from the handbag, ...

Judge: If you don't cut short, I shall give you a slap.

Conductor: See, sir, I am only telling you what happened and you are losing 
patience. Feel my situation when it happened to me.

actual accessible currency. Further the app is of no use to people who do not 
own a smart phone. That could be a huge number. I am not trying to discredit 
the splendid efforts put in by Shilpi and her team. I am worried because the 
Finance Ministry is working on an app and thinking that it would solve the 
problem.

I can't imagine the scene. I shall take the note from my pocket or wallet to my 
hand, then scan it with my mobile, listen to it and then pay with this note. It 
reminds me of a very famous Bengali story of the sixties by Shibram Chakraborty.

A bus conductor is brought for trial for slapping a lady.

Judge: Why did you slap a lady passenger?

Conductor: When I went to the lady for ticket, she opened a handbag. She 
fumbled inside it for some time and brought out a small pouch from it. She then 
opened the pouch and brought out a purse. She then produced a paper pack from 
it. She unfolded the paper and produced a 10 paise. But by then I had moved 
forward to the front side of the bus, approaching other passengers for 
ticketts. She wrapped the paisa inside the paper, placed it in the purse, 
placed the purse in the pouch, and then put the pouch in the handbag and put 
the zipper in place.  Five minutes later, I asked her for ticket agaij. She 
opened the handbag, brought out the pouch from the handbag, ...

Judge: If you don't cut short, I shall give you a slap.

Conductor: See, sir, I am only telling you what happened and you are losing 
patience. Feel my situation when it happened to me.

2019-01-11 Thread Pramit

My two cents on a simple solution that I use:

1.  I use "BlindDroid Wallet" app  to  identify new notes

2. Every denomination note has a specific place / position in my wallet 
and hence there is no confusion at all

It will be a small device, about the size of a credit card, a bit thicker, will 
need to be charged occasionally, and will announce the currency denomination in 
loud voice when the note is put on it.
I understand that it may cost hundreds of rupees but the government must pay 
this kind of fine for the  mess it has created with new and old notes in

It should be easy for everyone to use.

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.noclick_com/store/apps/details?id=com.barrierbreak.fin&hl=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.noclick_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

The government must be forced to produce and distribute  free of cost a 
standalone  electronic device capable of recognizing the currency by just 
touch  or by inserting any corner of the note into it.
This kind of device is provided by the USA government to eligible

It will be a small device, about the size of a credit card, a bit thicker, 
will need to be charged occasionally, and will announce the currency 
denomination in loud voice when the note is put on it.
I understand that it may cost hundreds of rupees but the government must

https://play.google.noclick_com/store/apps/details?id=com.barrierbreak.fin&hl=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.noclick_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

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.

George,

Absolutely, apps cannot be permanent solution. But until currency becomes
accessible, apps would come handy. Until currency becomes accessible,
perhaps we should do exercise of identifying right currency and keep them
at a place before we go out to public for transaction. ... and yes, apps
could be for temporary benefit.

My personal view. The app is a bad idea. At best it is usable when one is at 
home. While  transacting with the auto driver or at a shop or in a public 
space, the blind  customer and his app will test the patience of people. 
Besides I believe it would make us vulnerable.

Hello Rajesh,
As much as I know, user does not need to focus on a specific area of a
note. Just have the focus on the note and it should be able to capture and
announce the value.

I would highly recommend try out the app. Being a person with low vision,
I have used app's magnifier feature a lot and pretty cool. Also, I have
demonstrated the app at a few places and people have really found it
useful.

Thanks,
