Subject: [AI] Divya Nayan - A Personal Reading Device for Visually Impaired
People.
Dear Friends, some friends have shown interest to know about Divya Nayan.
I
am sure every V I person would want to know more about the device. Since i
have been associated with a demonstration of the device by C.S.I.O; here
is
a clarification in simple language:
Divya Nayan is a device with a shape of a pencil box, having sensors at
the
bottom and two keypads on the top. The device is to be slid from to bottom
of the printed page, book or any other printed material. It takes a few
seconds to convert the scanned text into audio output. The text is read
out
to you. The device supports ten languages including Hindi and Punjabi.
There are ports to insert USB drive and micro SD card. WiFi connectivity
is
available for streaming news over radio, etc. you can call it a
daisy/media
player with converting text to speech capabilities.
The device will be made available after giving initial
training/orientation
at major locations in the country. Since it is C.S.I.R project under the
Government of India; large scale production is likely to be entrusted
after
seeing the response, through registration. No charges to be paid during
registration. You have the choice to return the device within a month, if
you purchase it after the training.
Here is an excerpt from the latest communication received from C.S.I.O:
CSIO, Chandigarh invites the participation of visually impaired people
and/or their associated institutions in Technology Intervention and
Validation for Inclusiveness (TIVI) programme via a portal, aligned with
the CSIR’s Harnessing Appropriate Rural Interventions and Technologies
(HARIT).
This programme aims at Rural Intervention of Divya Nayan, to the
unprivileged such people in aspirational districts of various majorly
Indian states but not limited to Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Bihar. It
would be implemented through a series of dedicated workshops designed to
train the users, making them familiar with the device functionality and
capable of using the device independently.
Since there is a limited pilot production at first instance, therefore
users who register themselves for device training workshop will be
preferred for the initial distribution of devices.
Further programme details are available at
https://divyanayan.csio.res.in/registration.php
This portal allows visually impaired individuals and institutions
associated with such people for active participation in this activity.
While a lot of other technical information including Audio Tutorials are
available at the same website's other pages at
https://divyanayan.csio.res.in/
Hope this will clarify most of the doubts about the usability and
functionality of the device, as well as payment terms.
