Re: [AI] problem with a number of malayalam newspapers and Jaws/NVDAwith E speak

2013-01-11 Thread Mahesh S. Panicker

Thanks a lot Sinoj. I have been in touch with a few people at Manorama
online regarding the improvement of accessibility. Lets hope they'd do
something about it sooner rather than later.
Are any of the major journals such as Mathrubhumi weekly available
online and accessible with Jaws

 Kerala HC has already ruled that the said notification fixing the
 cumulative criteria  afterwards is bad in law and has given a ruling in
 favor of candidates.
 So, why must the same case be fought in other states to secure the
 similar
 ruling for all candidates?
 Actually, UGC must have given benefit of the decision to all candidates
 automatically, or Kerala HC must have directed it to do so.
 Agreed that  Writ petition is filed by an aggrieved individual, but it
 is
 a waste of grossest kind to ask each candidate to fight separately,

 PIL would have been a better remedy, perhaps.

 Commission to name National Eligibility Test criteria:

 Vaibhav Ganjapure, TNN Jan 8, 2013, 02.26AM IST

 NAGPUR: The University Grants Commission (UGC) on Monday came under
 fire
 from the Nagpur bench of Mumbai high court for its failure to come
 clear

 on
 the issue of fixing eligibility criteria for the National Eligibility
 Test
 (NET). A division bench comprising justices AP Lavande and Arun
 Chaudhari
 granted two weeks to the apex education body as the final chance to
 decide
 its policy. The judges further warned that it will proceed with orders,
 if
 UGC fails to file a reply within the stipulated period, and asked UGC
 officials to be present at the next hearing.

 The court's stringent orders came while hearing a plea filed by
 Gokulpeth
 resident Sayalee Surjuse, who has challenged a UGC notification
 imposing
 minimum qualifying criteria for NET conducted on June 24 last year. The
 test is conducted simultaneously across the country for various
 subjects
 for lectureship and junior research fellowship (JRF).

 Citing UGC's notification on its website, petitioner's counsel Trupti
 Udeshi said the candidate had to score 40% in first two pears and 50%
 in
 the third. She contended that there was no mention of the necessity to
 score above a specified aggregate of all three papers, which will be
 the
 criteria for final qualification. She also said that this criteria was
 never communicated till the declaration of the result.

 When NET results were declared on September 18, Sayalee was declared
 failed. It was only after she enquired that she came to know that U

5 Apps: The best camera apps for blind and visually impaired iPhone users

by Chancey Fleet   Jan 4th 2013
at 6:00PM

With the right apps, the iPhone's camera solves a slew of problems that
blind people have traditionally relied on bulky, single-use devices to
handle.

For the vexatious wad of unidentified cash in a pocket, purse or wallet,
there's LookTel MoneyReader  . This
US$9.99 app uses object-recognition technology and the iPhone's bright LED
flash to recognize currency almost instantaneously, even in low light or 
in

a moving car. MoneyReader is savvy enough to recognize several different
countries' bills, including the US Dollar, Euro, British Pound, Canadian
Dollar and Australian Dollar.

Object recognition is also at the core of OMoby
 , which is designed as a visual search
engine for products. This app excels at identifying tiny, 
identical-feeling

toiletries; sugar packets; and, if you get your hand in the frame, "hand."
OMoby is a free app, serving as a technology demo for the IQ Engines
  "visual intelligence" search API for
developers.

Any blind person will tell you that rumors about the death of hard-copy
print are exaggerated: from restaurant checks to office memos, there's
still
plenty. Blindsight's TextDetective 
captures document images and turns them into plain text, which can be read
with Voiceover using speech output or Braille. The process takes only
seconds and provides great results if you have a clearly printed document,
good lighting conditions and a steady hand. (The first "reading machine,"
created in 1976 by legendary inventor and new Google staffer Ray Kurzweil
 , cost $50,000 and
weighed 350 pounds. TextDetective costs $9.99. iPhone not included.)

Although several apps are purported to identify colors, they do a mediocre
job compared to standalone devices like the ColorTest
 , which occlude all 
light

around the object being tested, report patterns by playing fluctuating
tones
and recognize hundreds of shades.

Trying to sort laundry? Digit-Eyes   updates 
the
classic strategy of labeling clothes. Traditionalists do this with 
anything

from safety pins to metal Braille tags: Nancy Miracle, Digit-Eyes's
designer, suggests you do it with washable bar codes, which cue the
Digit-Eyes app to play back an audio recording or text note you've made
that
corresponds to the specific code for each item.

The $19.99 Digit-Eyes app also looks up commercial bar code information,
complete with package directions and nutrition facts; it also allows a 
user

to print QR codes with embedded text. For blind workers who need a serious
tool for fast and accurate inventory management, Ms. Miracle has helpfully
reviewed two Bluetooth laser scanners
  from
Serial-IO   that read bar codes more quickly and
in
more diverse lighting conditions than does the iPhone camera. [We reviewed
Digit-Eyes on TUAW
  in 2010. -Ed.]

No matter how much technology you have, it's a fact of life: sometimes, 
you

just need to borrow a pair of functioning eyeballs. VizWiz
  can help with that. Simply take a photo, type or 
speak

a question, and a web volunteer will get back to you -- usually within
minutes -- with an answer. You can also opt to post your picture and
question to Facebook, if you dare.

Subject: [AI] Regarding eBook purchasing in India: information requested

Friends,

Today I was reading some emails on the list which were hinting about
purchasing eBooks from Amazon India.
So thought to initiate this thread to get information about the
options available in India for purchasing eBooks. Please free to share
your experiences, tips, suggestions and recommendations.
Discussion of this topic can be justified on the ground that visually
challenged persons can use eBooks out of the box (there may be some
difficulties); but eBooks can be put to use more quickly without
further processing when compared to print material.

[AI] pre-budget discussion Suggestions For Financial Benefits For PWD

2013-01-11 Thread srinivas.karnati

  

Dear Friends,

As you must be aware that pre-budget consultations are taking place. 

The All India Confederation of the Blind has submitted the representation to 
the Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment in response to their call.  Many 
of you sent some useful comments which have been included in the list 
suggestions.   Copy of the suggestions forwarded to the Ministry is enclosed 
for your ready reference.  

 

With Kind Regards
k. srinivas

All India Confederation of the Blind

 

Suggestions For Financial Benefits For Persons With Disabilities To Be

Taken Up During Pre-Budget Consultation/Discussion

 

 

1.  Benefits under Income Tax Act: 

1.1  Introduction of a new Scheme of IT benefits in place of rebate under 80U 
of IT Act for in-service persons with disabilities: It is suggested that in 
place of the existing provision of rebate granted to persons with disabilities 
under Section 80U of the IT Act, a new regime may be put in place or for 
persons with disabilities, while they are in service.  Thus, under this 
suggested arrangement, persons with disabilities, while in-service, may be 
granted 50% exemption in Income Tax at all slabs.  The existing benefit of 
granting rebate may be done away with.  Thus, persons with disabilities may be 
required to pay Income Tax at all slabs at the following rates:

 

·5% for income upto Rs. 5,00,000/- (instead of the prevailing 10%)

·10% for income upto Rs. 10,00,000/- (instead of the present 20%) and 
so on.

 

This will be in line with the spirit of the proposed Direct Tax Code (DTC) 
which discourages across the board rebates in income tax.  It also helps to 
mainstream persons with disabilities with regard to payment of taxes like 
others and at the same time, provides them necessary benefits also. 

1.2  Exemption from Income Tax for senior citizens with disabilities: It is 
proposed that income from pensions for senior citizens with disabilities (above 
60 years of age) may be made fully exempt from income tax, as a measure of 
relief to the elderly disabled citizens. 

1.3  Exempting the entire transport allowance from income tax: At present, 
persons with disabilities in service are given exemption from income tax only 
on the initial transport allowance allowed to other employees as well.  They do 
not get the benefit of such exemption for the double transport allowance 
granted to them by the 6th CPC on account of their disability.  It is, 
therefore, suggested that the entire amount of transport allowance paid to an 
employee with disability may be made exempt from income tax.  

2.  Transport allowance granted to employees with disabilities by the 6th 
Pay Commission:

2.1  The 6th Pay Commission granted to persons with disabilities double 
transport allowance, meaning thereby that an employee with disability will draw 
transport allowance double than that of his non-disabled counterpart.  In view 
of the steep increased in the transportation costs, during the last about 6 
years, it is suggest that the rates of transport allowance per month for 
employees with disabilities may be increased by 100%.  Thus, the rates may be 
as follows: Rs. 1600, Rs. 3200 and Rs. 6400.

2.2  Transport allowance may be made admissible to the Govt. pensioners with 
disabilities as well.  They may be granted such allowance at the same rates as 
applicable to them at the time of their superannuation.  This allowance is in 
keeping with the Government's policy of providing additional welfare measures 
for senior citizens with disabilities who have to face severe mobility problems 
and have to incur much greater expenses on transportation from place to place 
as also because of their increased dependence on others due to age.

2.3  Bank employees with disabilities may be allowed transport allowance and 
children's allowance at the same rates as applicable to their other 
counterparts with disabilities serving in Govt. departments/Ministries.  At 
present such benefits are denied/restricted in quantum for such bank employees. 
 

3.   Customs related benefits:

3.1  Spare parts/accessories for items, goods, machinery and equipment listed 
under serial Nos. 388 and 488 of the Ministry of Finance, Department of Revenue 
Notification No. 12/2012-Customs dated 17th March, 2012, may also be made 
exempt from all customs and additional duties.  This exemption assumes 
importance since a number of organizations have today with them costly 
equipment like high speed Braille embossers etc. imported from outside.  
However, such equipment tend to remain idle for long because of worn-out 
parts/accessories.  At present, such spare parts/accessories attract heavy 
duty.  It is suggested that, wherever applicable, items pertaining to spare 
parts/accessories of the equipment imported for persons with disabilities and 
covered in the said Notification, may also be treated as exempt from customs.

3.2  Amend

Re: [AI] Regarding JAWS scripts

2013-01-11 Thread shankar shan

A JAWS script is merely a bridge between the screen reader and the
mainstream application. The script does not change the application
itself but, rather,
helps JAWS extract information from the application that it needs. A
script can make an ill-behaved application speak more easily and
naturally for the
user and can also provide functionality that previously did not exist.
For example, you can use scripts to build hot keys to read any part of
the screen
and to move to parts of an application that are not navigable using
keyboard commands. These are only two examples of how scripting can be
used to make
an application more accessible.

So, What Are Scripts?

A script is a series of instructions that your computer carries out in
sequence, similar to a batch file, that are stored in a file. Script
files can contain
hundreds or thousands of individual statements that are executed by a
single keystroke, not unlike a macro. You write your script in a text
editor and
then save the source code to disk. The script source code resembles
most high-level languages, similar to Visual Basic, and is fairly easy
to understand
as languages go. You then compile the source code into
machine-readable language by running it through the compiler program,
which enables it to run on
your computer. Once the script has been successfully compiled, you can
run it by hitting the trigger keystroke or by running the application
for which
the script was written. Once started, the script extracts the
information it needs from the application and can make decisions that
are based on that information
on how and what to read. JAWS includes a speech-friendly manager for
creating, editing, and managing script files.

A script file can contain one or more actual scripts. The JAWS script
language includes two fundamental types of scripts: default and
application. JAWS
Script Source (JSS) files are where the source code for a given script
or function is stored. The Default.jss file is the core script file
for JAWS and
contains all the basic functions that allow the screen reader to
interact with Windows-based applications. This default script file is
loaded each time
JAWS is started and is always in the background. Application script
files are loaded on top of the Default.jss file and are started when
an application
is launched. The application script file bears the same name as the
application it is designed for. For example, the Windows Calculator
application script
file is named Calc.jss, and the script for Notepad is Notepad.jss.
When you start the calculator, Calc.jss is loaded automatically, and
the scripts for
that application become active. When you exit or switch focus away
from the calculator, the Calc.jss file is unloaded from memory, and
the Default.jss
script takes over again.

So how does JAWS keep all this straight? JAWS is constantly monitoring
the keyboard, looking for keystrokes that it can process. When you
strike a key,
JAWS first searches the applications script file for a match. If it
doesn't find one there, it then looks in the Default.jss file for a
match. If none
is found there, it passes the keystroke on to the application. If,
however, it finds a match in either file, it executes the script
attached to that keystroke.
Binding Keystrokes to Scripts
each applications has got its own scripts

tell us which application is not able to access with jaws so that we
can provide the link to download the scripts and instructions to
install

hope this info is useful
