Dear all, Greetings from Blind Graduates Forum of India (BGFI)and XRCVC, St. Xavier’s College, Mumbai! After a long break, BGFI is back with its physical classroom session along with XRCVC on account of Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD). When: Saturday, 28th May from 3:30 to 5:30 PM. Venue: LR 61, hostel building, 3rd Floor, St. Xavier's College, 5, Mahapalika Marg, Mumbai – 400001. (Courtesy: XRCVC) Since accessibility is of utmost importance to all persons with disabilities, we will be demonstrating 2 assistive applications 1. I-Stem: An OCR based android app developed for documents and audio-video accessibility. Unlike other OCR apps, the app provides proper formatting of a page including tables, heading, multi-column layout and documents containing mathematics. Along with documents accessibility, the app also provides the text extraction from videos for easy understanding of screen share during the online calls or classes. The application will be demonstrated by Shakul Sonker, Co-founder I-Stem. 2. Spacefelt: QR code-based Android application that helps users with visual impairment easily label, scan, and identify things around them. This app has to be used along with the Spacefelt waterproof stickers or cloth-based tags. We’ll have Vivian Manohar demonstrating the application to us. Vivian is the CEO of Grailmaker Innovations, an Assistive Tech start-up based out of Hyderabad. He pursued his Masters in Mechanical Engineering in Germany and went on to work as a product Manager at the Innovations department, LV Prasad Eye Institute.
