Hi

I agree, penalty as an option, should be used cautiously. Having said, that, it is not the penalty amount which is a deterrent, but the associated reputation risk is something which any establishment would like to avoid. It sends a message across, the said party has done something which deserves penalty. It vindicates it.This signal is not the same as that of a reprimand. We should be open for that as well. A nudge like that sends a sharp ripples. It breaks down myth that big enterprise can get away because of their sheer size and that we are a small fly of which they can easily manage.

RPwD Act does envisage penalty of up to 5 lakh. SC fined Spice Jet 10 lakh
for discriminating against a disabled person. We can use other fora also,
like consumer courts.

Let us not get hung up on punishing perpetrators, in my view. Instead, let
is put a positive spin on it. And use the penalties route judiciously.

Hi,

are these efforts backed by some constitutional or legal framework? I
mean, is there some kind of fine or punishment for not meeting the
accessibility guideline? Otherwise we would just be going round the
bush without any concrete results. Chasing each and every website or
mobile app owner and companies would prove to be a night mare. Instead
some law in the RPWD act would empower us to challenge for
accessibility mandates.

Thanks,

Picture Smart is a Jaws feature wherein one can submit a picture for
analysis. Jaws would provide a discription in the Result Viewer about
the image. If there is text in the image, Jaws can report that.
To navigate a captcha, move focus to the captcha image, then Jaws key+
Space, then P for Picture Smart, and C for control. In the result
Viewer window, enter on More results to get an idea about the captcha
text. Often, the captcha letters/digits are provided with spaces in
between, do away with it, more often than not, you should be good to
go.

While captchas are a nightmare from an accessibility point of view,
the Jaws Picture Smart can help solve a decent number of those. Its
not perfect, but in my experience, it does help in 70 percent of
situations. But yes, captchas should be accessible, should be audio
options or they should be math based ones.

Hello Ketan,
Thankyou for your mail.
We have been working with SonyLiv and Hotstar, the 2 most popular OTT
platforms in India since the past few months.
SonyLiv
As per our last telecon, they claim to have made a few remediations
in
their latest release. Basis our request, they have agreed to share a
list of these remediations over email. As soon as we receive, would
be
happy to share.

Hotstar
We conducted a sensitization workshop for their team in February
2022,
attended by about 180 people. Basis the latest communication, they
are
in process of making remediations but would take time. We shall
update
when get a concrete revert from them.

Dear Team,

Excellent initiative.  Nevertheless, I would like to draw your
attention at the fact that several OTT platforms in India are
totally
inaccessible.  I acknoledge that in the priority of things banking
and
payment apps are higher, we need to pay attention to these aspect of
life as well since some of us like to use them.


Gradually, we may have to divide time between these areas.  I am
aware
that the work is huge and challenging but that is the reason it
becomes more and more interesting.

Although I am neither a lawyer nor an accessibility expert, if I can
be of any help please do not hesitate.

Best,

Ketan
