Hello All Forwarding a message, which did not get on the list. Harish Kotian. Quoting:
----- Forwarded Message ----- From: Rama Chari <rama7ch...@yahoo.com> To: Access India <accessindia@accessindia.org.in> Sent: Thursday, 22 September 2011 2:39 PM Subject: Bombay High Court Dear Kanchan, I met a person recently who needs a reader/scribe for his job in a hospital in Mumbai. His job involves reading what is written by the doctor in the prescription and advising/counselling the patients accordingly. It is a govt hospital and the volume of the work is large and he can't rely on help from here and there. I understand there is no device to read the hand written notes. He has explored all other possibilities. He has been paying from his pocket for the assistant (Rs 2000 or so every month). It is now becoming difficult and is considering quitting the job. He has about 15 years of service in the hospital. I think this request should also be considered as a reasonable accommodation, where technology may not be available. Warm regards, Rama ________________________________ From: Kanchan Pamnani <kanchanpamn...@gmail.com> To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Sent: Thursday, 22 September 2011 8:03 AM Subject: Re: [AI] Bombay High Court thanks to all but let me clarify: 1. at this stage I need the list of visually challenged working in the Maharashtra government, the Maharashtra Public Sector Undertakings and Universities in Maharashtra. 2. I dont need a list of general requirements from all of you, I need the requirements of these specific employees who with these softwares, gadgets and devices can do their work more efficiently. 3. The list of the softwares, gadgets and devices are listed on the Maharashtra Social Welfare website. 4. The employees have to choose from this list and let us know immediately. 5. The website is supposed to be accessible. 6. The list is also available with NAB, XRCVC and I am sure with the NFB. 7. Once again this order does not apply to Bankers or banks. .Kanchan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Himanshu Sahu" <sahu.himanshu2...@gmail.com> To: <accessindia@accessindia.org.in> Sent: Wednesday, September 21, 2011 12:27 PM Subject: Re: [AI] Bombay High Court Dear Mam, The list of some, if not complete, VI Bankers can be obtained from VIB India Group’s moderator and Co-moderator, Mr. Rajesh Asudani and Mr. Vamshi respectively. As far as gadgets and assistive technology/software are concerned, we people in banks generally require: A computer, a printer, a scanner and assistive software like SRS, OCR etc. Fortunately, in my office (ZO Metro, Allahabad Bank, Kolkata), I have been provided with all these tools and even some additional as per my requirements. However, still I use the demo version of most of the assistive software.
