Re: [AI] Digital Braille Versus Paper Braille
Hi, Could the article's source link be shared? Thanks. On 5/13/15, sanjay sanjaylpra...@yahoo.co.in wrote: taken from the Braille monitor, February 2015. Digital Braille Versus Paper Braille by Christian Coudert From the Editor: Christian Coudert is the editor in chief of the Louis Braille magazine (Paris, France). He has done some interesting research about the reading of Braille from paper and from refreshable Braille displays. Some of the findings from his study are surprising and may provide helpful guidance for those considering whether to purchase a refreshable display or a Braille notetaker and how many cells it should have. We have removed parts of the article that describe how to simulate the tests done in reaching these results and have tried to smooth a few rough edges that resulted from translation of this article from French to English. Here is what he says: Let me recount how I came up with the idea of writing this article: since I have had a Braille notetaker, I have gradually given up reading on paper, preferring electronic Braille. However, without taking the trouble to check it, I have always been convinced that reading on paper must unquestionably be much more effective. Indeed, whereas both hands can be used for reading on paper (the left hand reading the next line while the right hand ends the current line), this method cannot be applied to paperless Braille because you have to press a navigation button on the device to display the text below once you have finished reading the content of the Braille display. Another preconception has always led me to think that the more Braille cells we have (up to a point), the faster our reading speed will be. In order to check the validity of these assumptions, I decided to perform an experiment with a panel of volunteer readers. This study does not claim to be scientific. To have true scientific validity, it would have been necessary to select a group of readers and have each of them read the same texts during several timed sessions, assign everyone the same electronic equipment, and refine the results, taking into account each reader's age and length of Braille experience. However, the number of readers involved and the number of reading sessions undertaken enable us to draw what we believe to be objective conclusions that would likely be confirmed by other studies. Before getting into the details of the study, let me make it clear that I do not write with the purpose of promoting one reading mode over another. All reading systems are complementary; each person chooses the system that suits him or her, based on factors such as fixed location or travelling, the availability of various formats for a given title, budgetary constraints, and so on. It is also true that a large majority of sighted readers who use digital tablets do not use them exclusively, seeing no need to give up paper and generally seeing no need to decide which method is better-they let the content and other factors determine how they will read. There is no doubt that a Braille reader must first master reading on paper to understand fully the concepts of pages and paragraphs and enjoy the benefits of the various layouts used in this medium (title centering, line breaks, paragraphs, lists, and poetry layout). On a Braille display, where text blocks of eighteen, twenty, or thirty-two cells follow each other, most of these markers disappear. Hence, learning Braille, like learning to write, is best done with a solid background in paper Braille. For our tests we chose to use Braille notetakers rather than standalone Braille displays because the notetakers are designed for reading text, whereas standalone Braille displays are designed for displaying the contents of computer screens and contain more Braille cells. Readers used their own equipment, and, when they wished, equipment was lent to them. When we crunched the numbers after each reader went through several sessions reading from paper, an eighteen-cell display, and a thirty-two- cell display, we were a little surprised by what the numbers revealed. Half of the readers had a slightly faster reading speed on paper than on a Braille display, but the difference was very small, almost to the point of insignificance. The difference in reading speed for each individual reader between his or her fastest and slowest speed was rather low, with the exception of one reader, who had a difference of thirty-four words per minute between his fastest and slowest speeds. This indicates that the reading pace is not fundamentally altered by using a device instead of paper Braille. Strengths of Paper One achieves a high reading speed and comprehension when reading with both hands because of the ability to begin reading the next line. Blank lines can be easily skipped, and knowing

I guess we as Mumbaikars are so use to all that you pointed out, it hardly matters anymore. Challenges are everywhere; whether you travel by train, bus, cab or rickshaw, only the nature of difficulty varies. Tactile paths are rare; so much to be done there. Do take a ride in the Metro though, Reliance Mumbai Metro has made travel fairly accessable for the physically challenged. As a visually challenged Mumbaikar girl, I have learnt to move beyond a protected environment of being driven around by family in car to commuting by cabs, rickshaws, busses and trains with a toddler by my side, from Boriwali to Kalyan and Belapur to Andheri in all directions. Wouldn't say the challenges get lesser if a choice is made to board busses or hier cabs. The advantage of train travel is that one can seldom expect to be lost; for even if you get off at the wrong station, its not tough to find your way back whereas while travel by road, one must be confident of the routes or it is likely one might be misled or taken for a royal ride! The ease in commuting we have today is a result of joint efforts put in by our visually challenged activists, NGOs pushing for rights and achieving results in as many ways as possible. The best way to minimise discomfort is to take advantage of accessable travel wherever possible and seek help from fellow Mumbaikars whenever need be! Most people are very warm and helpful if requested curtously. I have had pleasant as well as unpleasant experiences of interactions with people on railway platforms, trains, busses as well as rickshaw drivers with the former types of incidents outnumbering the latter. Looking forward to have you show the way around when I visit Delhi next! Thanks for sharing Cheers!

[AI] Digital Braille Versus Paper Braille
taken from the Braille monitor, February 2015. Digital Braille Versus Paper Braille by Christian Coudert From the Editor: Christian Coudert is the editor in chief of the Louis Braille magazine (Paris, France). He has done some interesting research about the reading of Braille from paper and from refreshable Braille displays. Some of the findings from his study are surprising and may provide helpful guidance for those considering whether to purchase a refreshable display or a Braille notetaker and how many cells it should have. We have removed parts of the article that describe how to simulate the tests done in reaching these results and have tried to smooth a few rough edges that resulted from translation of this article from French to English. Here is what he says: Let me recount how I came up with the idea of writing this article: since I have had a Braille notetaker, I have gradually given up reading on paper, preferring electronic Braille. However, without taking the trouble to check it, I have always been convinced that reading on paper must unquestionably be much more effective. Indeed, whereas both hands can be used for reading on paper (the left hand reading the next line while the right hand ends the current line), this method cannot be applied to paperless Braille because you have to press a navigation button on the device to display the text below once you have finished reading the content of the Braille display. Another preconception has always led me to think that the more Braille cells we have (up to a point), the faster our reading speed will be. In order to check the validity of these assumptions, I decided to perform an experiment with a panel of volunteer readers. This study does not claim to be scientific. To have true scientific validity, it would have been necessary to select a group of readers and have each of them read the same texts during several timed sessions, assign everyone the same electronic equipment, and refine the results, taking into account each reader's age and length of Braille experience. However, the number of readers involved and the number of reading sessions undertaken enable us to draw what we believe to be objective conclusions that would likely be confirmed by other studies. Before getting into the details of the study, let me make it clear that I do not write with the purpose of promoting one reading mode over another. All reading systems are complementary; each person chooses the system that suits him or her, based on factors such as fixed location or travelling, the availability of various formats for a given title, budgetary constraints, and so on. It is also true that a large majority of sighted readers who use digital tablets do not use them exclusively, seeing no need to give up paper and generally seeing no need to decide which method is better-they let the content and other factors determine how they will read. There is no doubt that a Braille reader must first master reading on paper to understand fully the concepts of pages and paragraphs and enjoy the benefits of the various layouts used in this medium (title centering, line breaks, paragraphs, lists, and poetry layout). On a Braille display, where text blocks of eighteen, twenty, or thirty-two cells follow each other, most of these markers disappear. Hence, learning Braille, like learning to write, is best done with a solid background in paper Braille. For our tests we chose to use Braille notetakers rather than standalone Braille displays because the notetakers are designed for reading text, whereas standalone Braille displays are designed for displaying the contents of computer screens and contain more Braille cells. Readers used their own equipment, and, when they wished, equipment was lent to them. When we crunched the numbers after each reader went through several sessions reading from paper, an eighteen-cell display, and a thirty-two- cell display, we were a little surprised by what the numbers revealed. Half of the readers had a slightly faster reading speed on paper than on a Braille display, but the difference was very small, almost to the point of insignificance. The difference in reading speed for each individual reader between his or her fastest and slowest speed was rather low, with the exception of one reader, who had a difference of thirty-four words per minute between his fastest and slowest speeds. This indicates that the reading pace is not fundamentally altered by using a device instead of paper Braille. Strengths of Paper One achieves a high reading speed and comprehension when reading with both hands because of the ability to begin reading the next line. Blank lines can be easily skipped, and knowing the boundaries of a page is easy. The spatial representation of the page communicates the layout and the importance of empty lines, indented lists, and other formatting is easily

Re: [AI] Local Train in Mumbai: my experience
Hey Avinash, Welcome to the finantial capital of the country! I guess we as Mumbaikars are so use to all that you pointed out, it hardly matters anymore. Challenges are everywhere; whether you travel by train, bus, cab or rickshaw, only the nature of difficulty varies. Tactile paths are rare; so much to be done there. Do take a ride in the Metro though, Reliance Mumbai Metro has made travel fairly accessable for the physically challenged. As a visually challenged Mumbaikar girl, I have learnt to move beyond a protected environment of being driven around by family in car to commuting by cabs, rickshaws, busses and trains with a toddler by my side, from Boriwali to Kalyan and Belapur to Andheri in all directions. Wouldn't say the challenges get lesser if a choice is made to board busses or hier cabs. The advantage of train travel is that one can seldom expect to be lost; for even if you get off at the wrong station, its not tough to find your way back whereas while travel by road, one must be confident of the routes or it is likely one might be misled or taken for a royal ride! The ease in commuting we have today is a result of joint efforts put in by our visually challenged activists, NGOs pushing for rights and achieving results in as many ways as possible. The best way to minimise discomfort is to take advantage of accessable travel wherever possible and seek help from fellow Mumbaikars whenever need be! Most people are very warm and helpful if requested curtously. I have had pleasant as well as unpleasant experiences of interactions with people on railway platforms, trains, busses as well as rickshaw drivers with the former types of incidents outnumbering the latter. Looking forward to have you show the way around when I visit Delhi next! Thanks for sharing Cheers!

[AI] Ebook Legal Restrictions Are Screwing Over Blind people
taken from the Braille Monitor, February 2015 Ebook Legal Restrictions Are Screwing Over Blind People by Kyle Wiens From the Editor: Kyle Wiens is the co-founder and CEO of iFixit, an online repair community and parts retailer internationally renowned for their open source repair manuals and product teardowns. His opinion piece originally appeared on December 15, 2014, on WIRED.com. He graciously gave his permission for us to reprint it. As you can tell, he gets it. Here is what he says: In late 2012 a fourteen-year-old high school student stood in front of a camera and began to read. Chris Nusbaum's voice was calm and steady. And so were his hands, which ran smoothly over lines of Braille as he made a personal appeal to Amazon-maker of the most widely-used e-reader in the world. My class has just been assigned a project for which we must use information in the class's textbook. Every student has a Kindle, which has the textbook loaded on to it. All of the sighted students can easily read the material and complete the assignment independently, Nusbaum read. I, on the other hand, cannot read the book without the assistance of a sighted reader. Therefore, I am put at a severe disadvantage in completing the project when compared with my sighted classmates... All of this because of a problem which can easily and inexpensively be solved by integrating text- to-speech software into your readers and making sure that your apps and information are accessible with that software. For the nearly eight million people in the US with some degree of vision impairment, the advent of ebooks and e-readers has been both a blessing and a burden: a blessing because a digital library-everything from academic textbooks to venerated classics to romance novels-is never further away than your fingertips; a burden because the explosion of ebooks has served as a reminder of how inaccessible technology really can be. For more than a decade the visually impaired have been locked in an excruciatingly slow and circuitous battle against US copyright laws. And it's left the visually impaired with few options but to hack their way around digital barriers-just for the simple pleasure of reading a book. Books, Blindness, and Barriers to Content There's no Library of Alexandria out there for visually-impaired readers. Only 1 percent of published books are available in Braille. And, while audiobooks are widely available through online platforms like Audible, the selection is relatively narrow. Audible boasts more than 150,000 titles, but that's only 4 percent of the estimated 3.4 million books that are available through Amazon. If you're looking for an independent author, or the collected stories of a minor, long-dead novelist, or a biography on anyone less celebrated than a celebrity or a world leader-you're probably out of luck. Still, many popular books are available on venues like Audible, so we asked Blake Reid-head of the Samuelson Glushko Technology Law Policy Clinic-whether that was enough. Reid's team works on media and accessibility issues; they explained: Yes, audiobooks are already on the market. But there are not very many of them and virtually none for technical or academic subjects. That's why ebooks and e-readers are especially promising for people with disabilities. There are well over a million ebooks in the Kindle's Store alone-everything from cookbooks to magazines to how-to books. A lot of e-readers come prepackaged with a Text-to-Speech (TTS) feature, which converts the words on an e-reader's screen into a synthesized, human voice. Essentially, TTS reads a purchased ebook aloud-and that's been an incredible tool for making the collective digital library more accessible and more inclusive. That is, until the copyright hounds got out. When the Kindle 2 was released in 2009, it came with TTS functions that could be used across all Kindle ebooks. Publishers balked. They argued that TTS would negatively impact the audiobook market, and that a computer reading an ebook aloud constituted a violation of copyright. Amazon conceded, and it gave publishers the option to opt-out of TTS. Publishers took advantage of this and removed this feature from a huge swath of books. And so, the doors to the collective digital library slammed shut on the blind and print impaired once again. Blind people, when we ask for accessibility, we're not doing it because we want anyone's charity, Chris told us. We want equal access to the same information that anyone else could have access to. We have the mental capacity to compete on equal terms in education and in the workforce and in any other areas of life with our sighted counterparts. In order to do that, we are just asking for a very simple request from developers and engineers and institutions of higher education: and that is make sure that we have access to information that we
[AI] Responses to What Is the Cost of a Free Product?
taken from the Braille Monitor, February 2015 Responses to What Is the Cost of a Free Product? by Gary Wunder In the November 2014 issue of the Braille Monitor, we ran an article entitled What Is the Cost of a Free Product? It was written by Tim Connell, and I dare say that it was sent to me because I had been trying to get major screen reader developers to tell their side of the story by explaining the struggles faced by for-profit companies in an ever-changing market, one which offers far fewer consumers than most businesses hope to find for their products. I thought it important to discuss the case that can be made for the for-profit screen reader development that has long been the way those of us who are blind have gotten screen access and many other blindness-related technologies, especially since we have devoted considerable space to low-cost or free screen reading solutions. My hope was that the article we ran would stimulate discussion, and, after some gentle prodding from me, this it did. That gentle prodding took the form of a question: If access to technology is so important to us, why hasn't there been more discussion about the models of screen reader development reviewed in Tim Connell's article? Most who commented did not attempt to address the three major funding models currently used for screen reader development and reviewed by Connell. Instead, they responded to what they saw as an attack on NVDA, the Nonvisual Desktop Access program developed and maintained by NV Access. While the Braille Monitor cannot hope to print each of the responses generated, there are two that are particularly thought-provoking and add significantly to the discussion of how we will continue to have access to information that appears on the screens of computers, tablets, and telephones. Here, with slight editing, our responses are taken from the National Federation of the Blind in Computer Science mailing list. The first is from Aaron Cannon, who apologizes for not being articulate and then proceeds to acquit himself very well in putting forward his point of view. Here is what he says: [PHOTO CAPTION: Aaron Cannon] I think the reason we haven't seen more arguments with Tim's article is that, frankly, his main points are hard to track. I can't complain too much, though, since I suspect that he writes much more clearly than I do. But let me let Tim speak for himself: The work that the developers of NVDA have done is exceptional. On a small budget they have developed a really good product and have provided a free screen reader to many thousands of people around the world who couldn't previously afford one, especially in developing countries. Their technical skills and dedication are to be applauded; however, I have a problem with the funding model they have chosen. Philanthropic funding is at best a fragile beast, and it often doesn't extend to covering services like training and support, which can be the most important components of accessibility (especially in education). The bigger issue of equity and why we accept such a fundamental right as access to a computer to be at the whim of philanthropic generosity should be of tremendous concern. Do we welcome it simply because the recipients are people with a disability? Why is this particular group of people not worthy of a business model that guarantees standards of support, service, and viability? The developers of NVDA need investors, not handouts. Perhaps my brain just isn't working right this morning, but I am having a hard time following his objections to NVDA. If I understand it right, he is saying that the funding model for NVDA is fragile, so we shouldn't trust it. He also seems to be arguing that it's based on charity, and so beneath us, and besides, it doesn't allow for user support and training. If my reading is correct, I remain unconvinced. NVDA support is available from various organizations for a fee. JAWS users, on the other hand, end up also paying for support, but they do so up-front, whether they need it or not. Training is also available for a fee, but that's certainly not unique to NVDA. JAWS does come with some training materials, but similar materials are also available for free for NVDA. I agree that NVDA funding is more fragile than we should like, but much of what we who are blind rely on is philanthropic in nature. And, if one source of funding dries up, another one is found. Anyway, I don't see traditional sources of investment funding being substantially more reliable than philanthropic ones. Investors/donors come, investors/donors go, and organizations either find new ones, figure out a way to do without, or fail. So far NV Access seems to have been able to find new donors when needed. Consider what would happen if FS [Freedom Scientific, the
[AI] Accessibility at Microsoft More Challenges than Victories
taken from the Braille Monitor, April 2015 Accessibility at Microsoft More Challenges than Victories by Curtis Chong From the Editor: Curtis Chong is the president of the National Federation of the Blind in Computer Science, and in this capacity he is on the frontline when it comes to hearing about technical problems and being expected to offer some fix, work around, or political way to address problems that keep blind people from being as productive as they must in order to compete. Because most of the desktop and laptop market is dominated by Microsoft products, and because Microsoft has had more experience in dealing with accessibility issues than any other company, it is not surprising that the president of the computer science division hears frequently about user frustrations, lost jobs, and opportunities never pursued. Although we are currently engaged with Microsoft in a dialogue expected to result in some advances in accessibility, this article is appropriate in expressing the frustration that members and nonmembers alike have when they try to use products that are essential at home, at school, and in the places they work. Here is what Curtis has to say: There can be little doubt that Microsoft products are widely used today in almost every aspect of life. The majority of employers in this country require their employees to use programs from Microsoft (especially programs that are part of Microsoft Office) to accomplish the tasks they perform every day such as sending and receiving email, creating and editing documents, administering databases, managing projects, and so on. At home many people have personal computers that run the Microsoft Windows operating system and possibly Microsoft Office. At my doctor's office I cannot avoid the sound of the mouse clicking as my doctor reviews my medical chart using a computer powered by Microsoft Windows. While computers made by Apple arguably are gaining market share, Microsoft programs continue to maintain a highly visible presence in our lives. For those of us who are blind, access to Microsoft products is not just something that we would like to have. Rather, full nonvisual access to Microsoft products is essential if we are to have any hope of being able to compete in today's technology-driven labor market, let alone maintain parity with our sighted neighbors at home. For more than two decades the Microsoft Corporation has had a team of individuals responsible for promoting and assuring the accessibility of its various products to people with disabilities, including the blind. You might assume, therefore, that after more than twenty years of effort, Microsoft would stand out as a leader in the world of accessible software and that all (or at least most) of the programs it sells would be accessible to and usable by the blind. If so, you would be wrong! After twenty years of effort, Microsoft's accessibility team is still unable to serve as a gatekeeper to prevent Microsoft from releasing blatantly inaccessible products. The frustrating reality is that the accessibility effort within the Microsoft organization has not been given the power and influence it must have if the goal of ubiquitous accessibility is ever to be achieved. In other words a Microsoft product is accessible today-not because it is required to be so; it is accessible because the accessibility team was able to persuade a specific product group to do what is necessary to make its product work for people with disabilities. Today only a small percentage of Microsoft products are regarded by the blind as comfortable and intuitive to use. Examples include Windows Explorer (referred to as File Explorer in Windows 8), most of the Microsoft Office Suite, Internet Explorer, and several (but not all) functions of the Windows operating system. Even for these supposedly accessible programs, accessibility and efficiency have deteriorated as newer versions of software are released. Consequently, whenever we who are blind hear about a new Microsoft product, we feel a certain amount of skepticism about the ability of that product to work with our screen-access technology and are pleasantly surprised if, in fact, the product turns out to work for us. Below are seven examples of how Microsoft has fallen short of what seem like very realistic accessibility goals. As you consider these examples, bear in mind that this list represents a tiny fraction of the scope of the problem and that well over 80 percent of Microsoft products remain inaccessible to nonvisual users. . A concrete example of a product that simply cannot be used by the blind, but which is an integral security component used in employment situations, is Microsoft's BitLocker software, which provides full disk encryption. BitLocker requires the user to enter a PIN (personal identification number) before the full

[AI] Chennai: Even after court order, coordination panel for disabled yet to materialise
http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/chennai/even-after-court-order-coordination-panel-for-disabled-yet-to-materialise/article7208713.ece For the past few years, Tamil Nadu has not had a functioning State Coordination Committee for the disabled, say activists from the community. “The last time the committee met was in 2011. Since then, it has not been active,” said Dipti Bhatia, who was a member of the committee when it was first constituted. The tenure of this committee has since expired, said K. Manivasan, State Commissioner for the Differently Abled and a proposal for the setting up of a new one has been sent. Under the Persons with Disabilities Act, 1995, the formation of a State Coordination Committee (and State Execution Committee) is mandatory. The Coordination committee is supposed to meet every six months and its members hold office for a term of three years. The committee is meant to “function as the state focal point on disability matters and facilitate the continuous evolution of a comprehensive policy towards solving the problems faced by persons with disabilities,” according to the the Act. On January 29 this year, the Madras High Court, on hearing a writ petition on a protest by blind students, had said: “If there is no such Committee, the same should be constituted at an early date, not later than one month from today.” More than three months later, the committee has not yet been constituted. “The committee is meant to coordinate all the activities under the PWD Act in the State. Without it, there are no new schemes, no new programmes or proposals on anything to do with the disabled sector. Only if the committee is formed and comes up with programmes directed towards addressing the needs of the disabled, can the State Executive Committee implement it,” said Smitha Sadasivan of the Disability Rights Alliance. “Without the committee, not only is there complete policy paralysis, there is no platform for the disabled to have their voices heard or raise their grievances. “We don’t have any means of engaging with the government. Unless they engage with us, how will they understand our difficulties and our needs?” asked T.M.N. Deepak, founder president, December 3 Movement - Disability rights defenders. “The proposal for the setting up of the committee is in an advanced stage now and we are expecting a government order shortly. When this comes, we will form the committee,” said Mr. Manivasan. -- Avinash Shahi Doctoral student at Centre for Law and Governance JNU Register at the dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobile phones / Tabs on: http://mail.accessindia.org.in/mailman/listinfo/mobile.accessindia_accessindia.org.in Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/accessindia@accessindia.org.in/ To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.

Re: [AI] Chennai: Even after court order, coordination panel for disabled yet to materialise
Avinash, Who has fear of court order? who cares what persons with disabilities need? We don't have our any representative in legislature to raise our voice. let us contest elections. Actually constituencies should be reserved for persons with disabilities or persons with disabilities should be nominated on state assembly or legislative councils and in local governance if persons with disabilities could not get appropriate representation. If constituencies are reserved on the ground of gender, cast category, then why not for persons with disabilities? They are not part of society? Mumbai HC denied such reservation saying that such arguments has no merit. I think they have not put the case effectively. Can't we demand reservation in legislature? Either by reserving constituencies or by nominating our representatives at least in civic bodies? Could lawyers among us provide information on this?n 5/15/15, avinash shahi shahi88avin...@gmail.com wrote: http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/chennai/even-after-court-order-coordination-panel-for-disabled-yet-to-materialise/article7208713.ece For the past few years, Tamil Nadu has not had a functioning State Coordination Committee for the disabled, say activists from the community.
