Parliament
library now accessible to visually challenged
Lok Sabha Speaker Om

special facilities that provide visually challenged people
access to more than
1.7 million publications and resources in the library.
NEW DELHI:
Visually challenged people will now have easier access to the
vast repository
of resources in the parliament library which is now equipped
with necessary
assistive technologies, officials said.
Lok Sabha
Speaker Om Birla on Tuesday inaugurated special facilities
that provide
visually challenged people access to more than 1.7 million
publications and
resources in the library. Birla took the initiative after he
found that
visually impaired people were facing difficulty in accessing
the library for want
of digital visual aids.
After
consultations with institutes and domain experts, the Lok
Sabha Secretariat
procured necessary hardware and software to assist such people
to access
library resources, officials said.
Visually
challenged people will be able to listen to the contents of
the screen in
Indian accented voices, read, translate, digitise, take audio
output for any
printed books, and listen to physical books, they said.
Persons with
partial blindness who can operate computers will be able to
magnify the
contents of the screen through magnifiers, while those having
hearing
impairment can have access to screen contents through Braille
devices, a senior
official said.
He said the
parliament library has also subscribed to Sugamaya
Pustakalaya, India's largest
online library of books with access to more than six lakh book
titles. These
books can now be accessed by fully visually challenged people
using a daisy
player.
