Re: [AI] Minister in the Lok Sabha: eight NGOs were found misusing funds under Assistance to Disabled Persons

2014-08-15 Thread avinash shahi
NEW DELHI: The government has allocated Rs 200 crore for setting up a
venture capital fund for Scheduled Castes to provide concessional
finance to entrepreneurs from that community, Lok Sabha was informed
today.

An allocation of Rs 200 crore has been made to the Ministry in the
Budget Estimates (BE) 2014-15 for setting up a Venture Capital Fund
for the Scheduled Castes, Minister of State for Social Justice and
Empowerment Sudarshan Bhagat said in a written reply in Lok Sabha.


The objective of the fund would be to provide concessional finance to
SC entrepreneurs, he said, while replying to a question whether the
government proposes to introduce a new scheme for enhancing credit
facility to young entrepreneurs among the weaker section of the
country.

In reply to another question, he said the government has introduced
the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Bill 2014 in the Rajya Sabha
on February 7, 2014.

It has been proposed inter alia in the Bill to establish the National
Commission and State Commissions for Persons with Disabilities,
Bhagat said when asked whether government proposes to set up National
Commission for Physically challenged persons.

Bhagat, while replying to a question, said as per Census 2011, there
were a total of 2,68,10,557 persons with disability, of which
50,32,463 had disability in seeing, 50,71,007 in hearing and 19,98,535
in speech.

In 2014-15 (as on August 1), a total of Rs 816.15 lakh has been
released to different states under Deendayal Disabled Rehabilitation
Scheme (DDRS) and there have been 11,558 beneficiaries.

He also informed the House that as per Census 2011, there were 46,844
villages in the country having greater than 50 per cent SC population.

In yet another reply, he said a new Department of Disability Affairs
has been set up vide Cabinet Secretariat notification dated 12.5.2012
under the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment.

A separate demand No 91 under the Union budget for the department has
been made with effect from the financial year 2014-15, the minister
said, adding eight NGOs which were found misusing funds under
Assistance to Disabled Persons for Purchase/Fitting of Aids/Appliances
and seven NGOs were found misusing funds under DDRS.

[AI] Article of interest: Independence day: do the 70 million disabled people in the country have 'real' freedom'?

2014-08-15 Thread avinash shahi
I'm curious to know was Mr Narendra Modi's extempore was telecast in
sign language today? if not Does PM's independence Day speech holds
more national importance than PM's swearing in ceremony?
Many thanks Amba for lauding an ordinary persons with disabilities
whose contribution is matchless.
Article with an URL is pasted below
VOICE HEARD, FINALLY
ANANYA SENGUPTA
http://www.telegraphindia.com/1140815/jsp/nation/story_18724087.jsp
File picture of a child at a rally in Jantar Mantar in New Delhi to
protect the rights of the disabled. (Prem Singh)

Street protests, nationwide consultations and meetings with
policy-makers -- advocacy for the rights of the disabled has never been
this vocal.

Almost two decades after the now-redundant 1995 Persons With
Disability (PWD) Act was drafted, its refurbished version with 108
amendments guaranteeing civil and political rights to the disabled
crawled its way into Parliament last year.

Although relegated to a standing committee, the bill, which has
expanded the definition of disability to include nine more
disabilities, is an example of the struggle by the community to gain
prominence in policy discourses.

Finally, say activists, disability rights are being taken seriously.

The question to ask this Independence Day is, do the 70 million
disabled people in the country have 'real' freedom? We are not as
'free' as the others. For half a century, India didn't pay any
attention to this community, says Javed Abidi, the convener of the
Disability Rights Group, the largest advocacy group for the disabled.

In 1995 they gave us the PWD Act and since then we have been
recovering from the 50 years of neglect. It's now that we have really
demanded, protested and really fought for our rights and been
noticed, he added.

The advocacy over the past year has brought in multiple gains for the community.

For the first time, the Republic Day parade telecast on national TV
featured simultaneous sign-language interpretation for
hearing-impaired people.

Three Doordarshan channels -- DD News, DD Bharti and DD Urdu -- provided
sign-language interpretation of the Republic Day commentary. News
channels were given directives to carry the signals of DD with the
interpretations.

Just months later, for the first time, a Prime Minister's swearing-in
was made available in sign language. As many as three Indian
sign-language interpreters were on duty on the occasion to ensure that
the oath-taking and related ceremonies are made available to the 18
million hearing-impaired citizens of India.

During the budget session, the government approved two one-of-a-kind
institutes for the disabled -- the Centre for Disability Sports, a
state-of-the-art sporting facility that would cater exclusively for
para-athletes, and the National Institute of Inclusive and Universal
Design, the first such institute to design barrier-free tools for the
community.

These proposals have been pushed by us over the years and it is now
that the government is taking steps to build these institutes. Along
with the PWD law, these are going to revolutionise the lives of people
with disabilities, says Abidi.

Among the other promises from this government are:

* Printing of special currency notes with Braille-like signs for the
visually challenged

* Four new AIIMS for the grossly neglected healthcare sector

* Establishing 15 new Braille presses and revival of 10 existing ones

* Extension of the scheme to assist the disabled to purchase aids and appliances

Many like rights activist Amba Salelkar believe that the real
tangible momentum for the disability movement came not from activists
but from people with disabilities who contributed their time to the
cause.

Our success has been that in the last year we have been able to draw
out the common man from the community to participate in and contribute
to the movement. They might not be activists, but they have taken part
in consultations, written emails and encouraged others like them over
the Internet. The movement really gained by the participation of these
people, says Salelkar.

Looking ahead

I would like this government to enable me to go anywhere I choose to
go without thinking about inaccessible buildings and barriers for my
wheelchair, says Paralympic Deepa Malik, who is on the committee that
is drawing the blueprint for the sport centre for the disabled.

Disability rights activists, however, want much more and in concrete
terms. Their demands include:

* Higher interest rates, similar to the benefit for senior citizens on
fixed deposits, and long-term investment instruments

* Free education for people with disability up to SSC in all schools

* Spinal injury rehabilitation units at all public hospitals

* Rehabilitation insurance to cover all expenses (medical, assistive
technologies, therapy, etc.) of daily life

* Access tax of 2 per cent on corporations for 10 years to make the
public infrastructure in the country barrier-free and accessible to
people with

Re: [AI] Article of interest: Independence day: do the 70 million disabled people in the country have 'real' freedom'?

* Higher interest rates, similar to the benefit for senior citizens
on fixed deposits, and long-term investment instruments.

This is a business initiative of commercial banks, and not a
government policy.  So, if our business is attractive, banks will
extend the same to us.  If if we want it as a government policy, let
us not compare ourselves with senior citizens.

* Rehabilitation insurance to cover all expenses (medical, assistive
technologies, therapy, etc.) of daily life

If this is for a person before becoming disabled, it should be fine as
it would be a disability insurance kind of a thing.  If it is an
insurance for disabled, then I don't think any insurance company will
come forward to do it.  Insurance is not for covering known risks.
Once a person becomes disabled, he/she is sure to use all the benefits
covered in the insurance.  It is not at all feasible as a business
model.

I may be corrected if I haven't interpreted something in the above
article in its right sense.

 VOICE HEARD, FINALLY
 ANANYA SENGUPTA
 http://www.telegraphindia.com/1140815/jsp/nation/story_18724087.jsp
 File picture of a child at a rally in Jantar Mantar in New Delhi to
 protect the rights of the disabled. (Prem Singh)

 Street protests, nationwide consultations and meetings with
 policy-makers -- advocacy for the rights of the disabled has never been
 this vocal.

 Almost two decades after the now-redundant 1995 Persons With
 Disability (PWD) Act was drafted, its refurbished version with 108
 amendments guaranteeing civil and political rights to the disabled
 crawled its way into Parliament last year.

 Although relegated to a standing committee, the bill, which has
 expanded the definition of disability to include nine more
 disabilities, is an example of the struggle by the community to gain
 prominence in policy discourses.

 Finally, say activists, disability rights are being taken seriously.

 The question to ask this Independence Day is, do the 70 million
 disabled people in the country have 'real' freedom? We are not as
 'free' as the others. For half a century, India didn't pay any
 attention to this community, says Javed Abidi, the convener of the
 Disability Rights Group, the largest advocacy group for the disabled.

 In 1995 they gave us the PWD Act and since then we have been
 recovering from the 50 years of neglect. It's now that we have really
 demanded, protested and really fought for our rights and been
 noticed, he added.

 The advocacy over the past year has brought in multiple gains for the
 community.

 For the first time, the Republic Day parade telecast on national TV
 featured simultaneous sign-language interpretation for
 hearing-impaired people.

 Three Doordarshan channels -- DD News, DD Bharti and DD Urdu -- provided
 sign-language interpretation of the Republic Day commentary. News
 channels were given directives to carry the signals of DD with the
 interpretations.

 Just months later, for the first time, a Prime Minister's swearing-in
 was made available in sign language. As many as three Indian
 sign-language interpreters were on duty on the occasion to ensure that
 the oath-taking and related ceremonies are made available to the 18
 million hearing-impaired citizens of India.

 During the budget session, the government approved two one-of-a-kind
 institutes for the disabled -- the Centre for Disability Sports, a
 state-of-the-art sporting facility that would cater exclusively for
 para-athletes, and the National Institute of Inclusive and Universal
 Design, the first such institute to design barrier-free tools for the
 community.

 These proposals have been pushed by us over the years and it is now
 that the government is taking steps to build these institutes. Along
 with the PWD law, these are going to revolutionise the lives of people
 with disabilities, says Abidi.

 Among the other promises from this government are:

 * Printing of special currency notes with Braille-like signs for the
 visually challenged

 * Four new AIIMS for the grossly neglected healthcare sector

 * Establishing 15 new Braille presses and revival of 10 existing ones

 * Extension of the scheme to assist the disabled to purchase aids and
 appliances

 Many like rights activist Amba Salelkar believe that the real
 tangible momentum for the disability movement came not from activists
 but from people with disabilities who contributed their time to the
 cause.

 Our success has been that in the last year we have been able to draw
 out the common man from the community to participate in and contribute
 to the movement. They

[AI] Productivity and efficiency

2014-08-15 Thread Rahul Bajaj
Hi all,

I hope this message finds you well.
In the last one year, I have done a large array of interesting
internships in different areas of the law.
While I have mostly had very rewarding and enriching experiences, I
have also had to deal with a unique set of challenges along the way.
For me, the greatest challenge has been being able to perform my
assignments as expeditiously as my sighted counterparts.
In most successful and prestigious organizations, especially in the
private sector, you are not only required to perform your assignments
well, but are also expected to complete your work within a stipulated
time period. Therefore, it is critical to maintain efficiency in order
to be able to compete with your counterparts.

I am often required to access material which is not in an accessible
format and has to be converted into an accessible format by using Fine
Reader, etc.
Similarly, I often find it hard to use advanced features in MS Office
like track changes, footnotes, etc as expeditiously as I would like
to. Don't even get me started on Adobe Reader!
Even though this can, to some extent, be attributed to the fact that I
am not as tech savvy as I need to be, I believe that it also has to do
with some inherent flaws of assistive technology which can often be
slow and unreliable.
As a result, I invariably have to invest more time and energy into my
work than my sighted counterparts in order to be able to produce
substantive and satisfactory results.
However, this solution really doesn't work in organizations where
every employee has a heavy workload, so everyone has to work for at
least 12-14 hours a day to get their work done.
In such a case, there is virtually no scope for a visually impaired
employee to invest more time and energy than his sighted counterparts.
So, the upshot is that the visually impaired employee is assigned
lesser work which leads to lower job satisfaction.
In sum, my uniform experience has taught me that, even though
assistive technology has made it possible for us to access information
that was hitherto inaccessible to us, it is still the next best thing
to actually reading the information and not a substitute for it.
I'd love to know what you all think about this proposition and whether
or not your experience bears this out.
What strategies have you adopted for increasing your productivity at
the workplace?
I look forward to hearing from you.

Best,
Rahul

[AI] Information required on accessibility challenges to the oracle related tools

2014-08-15 Thread S. Manikannan
Hello Access Indian experts,

It would be highly appreciable if any one of you clarify my doubts.
“For sighted people, their interest enable them choose their career,
but for most of the visually challenged people, JAWS is being major
factor in deciding their career by sacrificing their interest.”

I have started my career as medical transcriptionist and business
transcriptionist. Currently I am working as a change coordinator in
service management domain in IBM. In this long run, I have challenged
the challenges by exploring and doing some RD in finding work place
solution.

Now I would like to travel little bit on technical or development
side. This year-long intension cultivated strongly in my mind to learn
Oracle SQL and PL/SQL development or oracle DBA. Learning new things
looks to be quite interesting, but when it comes for execution,
accessibility issue hampers me to go ahead and is pushing me behind.

I would like to know how JAWS or NVDA supports the oracle-related
tools like SQL developer, Toad etc. JAWS supports SQL developer tool
to certain extent after installing JDK and JRE. I am not sure how it
supports other oracle-related tools.

When we work for oracle SQL development or oracle DBA, should we
connect with multiple servers remotely? If yes, how can we connect
servers with the support of JAWS with multiple servers? Even though we
get remote access license for JAWS, how can we install the JAWS in
multiple servers? If any of you working in oracle, please clarify my
doubts and guide me on this.

Hoping to expect some positive solution from any one of you.

Thanks  Regards

S. Manikannan

Re: [AI] need information about document cameras.

2014-08-15 Thread mukesh jain
hello,
perhapes he want the scanner which can be used with more flexibility
such as giving the option to make  use of the scanner with several
programs like kurzweil, fine reader openbook etc. which even i prefer
to have. so in this case, if i am  already possessing the licence of
any of these softwares, then in this situation, lexcam may not be of
use. obviously, lexcam may be the good option, but what if i do not
wish to spend that amount and want to spend lesser amount. in that
case, few of my friends as mentioned earlier, are using this
particular mobile scanner and purchased the fine reader licence for
rs.12000 so total investment came to rs.2 and since he do not want
to spend the amount coming to purchase lexcam, i suggested this
plustek mobile scanner.

thank you,

Hello,
A really thought provoking message indeed!
I too have gained some similar experiences during my life at a business school.
According to me, though I never face any issue when it comes to
Accessing some complicated feature (only when it is readable either by
Jaws, NVDA, or even narrator!!) But still the visual aspects such as
Look and feel of the document specially a PPT, choosing right
Formatting attributes according to the context and inserting anything
Which has something to do with graphs sends me on a back seat.
Today in corporates when it comes to competitions, or even casual
Presentations, visual aspects no doubt dominate the show.
I haven't found any solution to this issue so far.
I welcome all our seniors to comment on the issues which we have
Brought on the table.

Re: [AI] Productivity and efficiency

2014-08-15 Thread Pranav Lal
Hi Rahul and Ajay,

There are no easy answers to this. As for inaccessible formats, the only way
is to know your software. For OCR, use the blindness specific ones because
FineReader does not give you all the data you need. You need to scan read
and not scan first and then read. As for track changes and other features,
use jaws and use features  like listing revisions. If you can't get jaws,
you may want to request the NVDA developers to add similar features.

I keep my jaws speech rate slider at about 56% which allows me to read
faster than my sighted counterparts. Yes, they acquire information faster
but some of them appear to process it more slowly so the faster speech rate
helps. 

As for presentations, again, it is your screen reader that helps navigate
software efficiently. Companies have defined templates which you do not need
to deviate from. Everyone needs adjustments to a presentation. You cannot
know what is good. Take a pre-existing presentation and use that.

Be open to learning on the fly. I used to be in consulting where I had to
meet clients one on one. I was at a client location when he wanted some
slides re-ordered. I had no idea how to do this. The follow-up meeting was
in 30 minutes therefore I did not have time to seek any assistance. A quick
google search and then I had to adapt those instructions to my situation.
That is when I learnt how to use the slide sorter in Microsoft PowerPoint. 

Yes, you can take technology learning shortcuts like getting yourselves
trained on your technology. Take them and do not skimp on their cost.

I need to know specifics of your situations to really help. Mostly, you need
to work around whatever limitations you have. The problem with interning is
that you get a lot of visual work like formatting documents. I am constantly
on the lookout for hapless interns who I recruit to help me with
presentations and other visual tasks. 

One thing that may give you an edge is if you spell check your work. You
will be surprised at the number of people who fail to do this. Oh, get as
updated version of Microsoft Office as is possible. Use markup like heading
styles and let Word handle formatting.

Pranav

Hi.
I will start with Windows Speech Recognition.
I setup Windows Speech Recognition, chose the voice activation option
during the setup, went halfway through the tutorial and then quit.
Now my computer has become a bit slow.
But I am unable to dictate.
I opened Notepad then Microsoft Office Word (via keyboard) and tried
to say start listening and then dictate, but nothing happened.
Please help.

 Hi.
 1 I want to experiment with different speech recognition softwares.
 PL] Fair enough. There are not too many such programs around.
 2 I am able to efficiently operate the computer via a keyboard and
 screen reader so I don't require Dragon Naturally Speaking. I would
 have loved to test it but I have heard that to successfully use Dragon
 Naturally Speaking you require JSay (may have spelt it wrongly) and
 JAWS of course.
 PL] Given your use case, you do not need J-Say or jaws. Dragon is natively
 accessible and you can use it even with NVDA. Get the professional version
 if you can because that allows you to create commands etc. If not, if you
 just want dictation, then even the home or premium version is suitable.
 3 It doesn't matter to me what Google does with my text because I will
 not be sending any personal information and will be doing it all for
 experimenting purposes.
 PL] sounds good.
 4 I want to check out Google Speech Recognition because it is
 web-based and made by a reputed company, but I am unable to find any
 website. Doesn't Google Speech Recognition have its own website???
 PL] Your guess is as good as mine. You may find the below article
 interesting.

 The only speech to text conversion application that works is Dragon
 Naturallyspeaking. Yes, you have speech-recognition that comes with
 Windows
 but that does not recognize indian accents.

Re: [AI] Productivity and efficiency

2014-08-15 Thread Ajay Minocha
Hi sir,
1. Which OCR would you recommend then which can process tables correctly?
2. Most of the times I use the features highlighted by you but the
main problem lies in aligning graphs/ pictures/ other objects in
either my word docs or PPTs.
3. I fully agree that keeping jaws on a faster rate really helps. I
keep it at around 70% and it has saved my life in a lot of surprise
tests smiles!
Thanks,
Ajay

On 8/16/14, Pranav Lal pranav@gmail.com wrote:
 Hi Rahul and Ajay,

 There are no easy answers to this. As for inaccessible formats, the only
 way
 is to know your software. For OCR, use the blindness specific ones because
 FineReader does not give you all the data you need. You need to scan read
 and not scan first and then read. As for track changes and other features,
 use jaws and use features  like listing revisions. If you can't get jaws,
 you may want to request the NVDA developers to add similar features.

 I keep my jaws speech rate slider at about 56% which allows me to read
 faster than my sighted counterparts. Yes, they acquire information faster
 but some of them appear to process it more slowly so the faster speech rate
 helps.

 As for presentations, again, it is your screen reader that helps navigate
 software efficiently. Companies have defined templates which you do not
 need
 to deviate from. Everyone needs adjustments to a presentation. You cannot
 know what is good. Take a pre-existing presentation and use that.

 Be open to learning on the fly. I used to be in consulting where I had to
 meet clients one on one. I was at a client location when he wanted some
 slides re-ordered. I had no idea how to do this. The follow-up meeting was
 in 30 minutes therefore I did not have time to seek any assistance. A quick
 google search and then I had to adapt those instructions to my situation.
 That is when I learnt how to use the slide sorter in Microsoft PowerPoint.

 Yes, you can take technology learning shortcuts like getting yourselves
 trained on your technology. Take them and do not skimp on their cost.

 I need to know specifics of your situations to really help. Mostly, you
 need
 to work around whatever limitations you have. The problem with interning is
 that you get a lot of visual work like formatting documents. I am
 constantly
 on the lookout for hapless interns who I recruit to help me with
 presentations and other visual tasks.

 One thing that may give you an edge is if you spell check your work. You
 will be surprised at the number of people who fail to do this. Oh, get as
 updated version of Microsoft Office as is possible. Use markup like heading
 styles and let Word handle formatting.

 Subject: [AI] Productivity and efficiency

 Hi all,

 I hope this message finds you well.
 In the last one year, I have done a large array of interesting
 internships in different areas of the law.
 While I have mostly had very rewarding and enriching experiences, I
 have also had to deal with a unique set of challenges along the way.
 For me, the greatest challenge has been being able to perform my
 assignments as expeditiously as my sighted counterparts.
 In most successful and prestigious organizations, especially in the
 private sector, you are not only required to perform your assignments
 well, but are also expected to complete your work within a stipulated
 time period. Therefore, it is critical to maintain efficiency in order
 to be able to compete with your counterparts.

 I am often required to access material which is not in an accessible
 format and has to be converted into an accessible format by using Fine
 Reader, etc.
 Similarly, I often find it hard to use advanced features in MS Office
 like track changes, footnotes, etc as expeditiously as I would like
 to. Don't even get me started on Adobe Reader!
 Even though this can, to some extent, be attributed to the fact that I
 am not as tech savvy as I need to be, I believe that it also has to do
 with some inherent flaws of assistive technology which can often be
 slow and unreliable.
 As a result, I invariably have to invest more time and energy into my
 work than my sighted counterparts in order to be able to produce
 substantive and satisfactory results.
 However, this solution really doesn't work in organizations where
 every employee has a heavy workload, so everyone has to work for at
 least 12-14 hours a day to get their work done.
 In such a case, there is virtually no scope for a visually impaired
 employee to invest more time and energy than his sighted counterparts.
 So, the upshot is that the visually impaired employee is assigned
 lesser work which leads to lower job satisfaction.
 In sum, my uniform experience has taught me that, even though
 assistive technology has made it possible for us to access information
