Re: [AI] Scratchy and unclear audio afger waking laptop from sleep mode; appeal for Feedback to Saksham regarding pitch change on their EVO E5

[Arijeet Patil]

This issue is affecting my laptop too, though it doesn't happen immediately
after I have woken it up. I have realised that this happens most commonly
with Sapi voices. I have experienced this only on NVDA and am using Jaws
rarely. Is the manner of this happening the same for Jaws? Also, I would
sincerely like to ask anyone to give a feedback to Saksham regarding pitch
change on their EVO E5. For those of whom with a musical ear, you may have
noticed that the audio pitch changes with a semitone-based variation. I feel
it should change with a quartertone change simeler to the Victor Reader and
many other products that support changing the pitch. If the present lowest
and highest is to be maintained with this new change, I suggest that we
recommend to them to make the values on either side of the normal twice
their current numbers, expanding from -5-+5 to -10-+10.
Thank all,
Regards,
Arijeet Patil, 8th grade, Beacon High School, Mumbai.

Subject: [AI] Scratchy and unclear audio afger waking laptop from sleep mode

hi,
 a strange thing with audio in my Dell laptop running Windows 10 version
1709 with  the latest built and NVDA is causing great concern.
 I have just updated to the latest version of the OS on Friday and have
actually begun using my laptop properly only today after that .
 I've been noticing every time I wake my laptop from sleep mode, the  audio
is scratchy and has a static sound when NVDA speaks. I have  tried to run
JAWS 18.032 as well with the same result.
 however, if I shut down and restart, it runs just fine. I have checked  to
see all my updates are in place.
 any ideas on why is this happening? I am not technologically savvy  enough
to know all about my drivers and chips to sort this myself.
 thanks for any help.

[AI] BGFI December session on Independent Living followed by a mobile capsule on Be My Eyes & Eye-D!

[BGFI - Blind Graduates' Forum of India]

Dear All,

Greetings from Blind Graduates Forum of India BGFI!

Since we are not organizing our picnic which was scheduled on December
9th due to the feedback received from some of you and the suggestions
of our team, we are back with our knowledge sharing
session on that same day!

Have you ever wished that you could live independently? ? Have you
ever wished you manage day to day tasks or be mobile yourself? Have
you been waiting to meet with visually challenged individuals who have
mastered how to optimize their daily tasks for efficiency?  Well, this
time we the BGFI team have planned an open discussion to share the
challenges we face in our
day to day living and come up with solutions to make our lives
independent.

Everyday life shouldn’t be a struggle, and there are countless ways we
can learn to ease this. Join BGFI as we talk with visually challenged
individuals to understand how we can all experience such resilience in
those periods of time when we are not feeling like we have that
strength?  We could all use a dose of resilience from time to time.
you could  share the
challenges faced by you and others could  share thoughts and ideas on
the ways to accomplish our goal to have an independent life.
We believe that people facing the same challenges are the best
source of appropriate guidance. If you wish to live your life
independently or if you think that you are good at some chore that can
lead to independence, then come ahead and join us in our discussion

Continuing with our series of mobile capsules, this time we will cover
Be My Eyes and Ieyed  by Aditi Shah. Both the aps promote independent
living. Be my eyes is an ap that connects you to sighted volunteers.
Eye-D
 helps visually impaired be location aware, explore and navigate
to nearby places of interest, evaluate surroundings with their
smartphone camera and read printed text.

Date: Saturday, 9th December 2017
Time: 3 PM-5.30 PM.
Venue: NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE BLIND (INDIA). 11/12, Khan Abdul

[AI] Congratulations to the Sarojini Trilok Nath National Award winners

[Prashant Ranjan Verma]

The winners are Mr. Charudutta Jadhav in Best Individual category, Tiffney
Brar in Best Role Model category, Nav Chetan Andhjan Mandal, Gujarat in Best
Institution category and Tech Mahindra Foundation in Best CSR category. 
More information given below.

NAB SAROJINI TRILOK NATH NATIONAL AWARD 2017 
BEST INDIVIDUAL - CHARUDATTA JADHAV
Dr. Charudatta Jadhav is an institution in himself who has bootstrapped and
uplifted the lives of thousands of persons worldwide. He possesses more than
3 decades' worth of experience in the sector and heads Accessibility Center
of Excellence of TATA Consultancy Services Ltd. He is also the President of
International Braille Chess Association and General Secretary of All India
Chess Federation for the Blind.  

Born into a humble family in rural India, Dr. Jadhav lost his sight early on
in his childhood. In spite of his disability, he excelled at chess and
became the first Blind Chess player to get an International FIDE rating. He
represented India on 6 occasions in the Chess Olympiads and World Chess
Championships for the Blind. He was also nominated Captain of the Indian
Team in the World Chess Olympiads for the Blind in 2004 and 2008.

In 1997, Dr. Jadhav founded the All India Chess Federation for the Blind
(AICFB) which now has 18 affiliated state organizations and promotes chess
among the blind in India. Among his other achievements, he has ideated,
conceptualized and was the key architect of the 'TALK 64' a specially
designed speech enabled Chess Software for the Blind. 

Beyond Chess, Mr. Jadhav was also the key architect of Sugamya Pustakalaya
powered by TCS Access Infinity, an initiative launched as a part of the
'Accessible India' Campaign. This has led to a massive increase in
accessible digital publishing to achieve a vision of real time access of
published content. He has filed applications for 8 patents so far in the
accessibility domain, two of which are already granted. 

Being conscious of his obligation to the society and the need to make
disabled digitally empowered, Dr. Jadhav has provided support to several
NGOs to set up 17 Computer Centres for the Blind across India.

He is a proud recipient of numerous awards including National Award for Best
Disabled Employee of the year in 2006 and National "SUPER IDOL" Award by
IBN7 for exemplary contribution in the area of sports for the persons with
disabilities in the year 2010

It takes an awful amount of self discipline, confidence, determination and
dedication for one to make their dreams come into reality. Dr. Jadhav has
proceeded to exemplify this statement and thus, with utmost pleasure we
would like to present the NAB SAROJINI TRILOK NATH NATIONAL AWARD 2017 in
the BEST INDIVIDUAL category for his lifetime achievement and exemplary
contribution for the general well being of the society.

NAB SAROJINI TRILOK NATH NATIONAL AWARD 2017
BEST ROLE MODEL - TIFFANY BRAR
Disability is not a hindrance to reach the sky. Born in Chennai but
originally from Northern India, Ms. Tiffany Brar became blind shortly after
birth due to a retinal disease. After completing her schooling, she went on
to complete her degree in English literature from the government women's
college in Trivandrum in 2006. She then pursued her B.Ed. in Special
Education (visual impairment) from Sree Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda
University in Coimbatore. This degree helped her realize her dream project
of making the blind independent. This led to her starting Jyothirgamaya
Foundation in 2012. It was started as a mobile SCHOOL FOR THE blind, where
she travelled in public transport to the houses of blind people of all ages,
in the nooks and corners of her state Kerala, teaching and counselling them.


Tiffany has been running the Jyothirgamaya since 2012 and has trained many
blind people in Braille, mobility, basic computer use, and other necessary
life skills. She has also recently initiated a pilot project, Road to
Independence, which aims to conduct training camps in all districts of
Kerala in order to reach out to the blind in large numbers. She is a
motivational speaker and she conducts sensitization sessions for attitudinal
change towards disability.

Tiffany is the only woman in India to have given 5 TEDx Talks. Despite being
blind, for Tiffany sky is the limit, she PROVED this in her recent sky
diving in Belgium. She jumped from 4000 feet high. She has also done
paragliding, tandem cycling, rope riding, rope climbing, and wall climbing.
For her there are no borders for a blind person. 

Ms. Brar has received a series of awards for being a great motivator and an
example for the youth. Some of the Awards are The Kerala State Award in
2012, The Women of the Year Award from Hope Trust in 2015, Bold and
Beautiful Award from Doordarshan in 2017 and the National Award for
Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities from Government of India in 2017.  

We feel privileged to present the prestigious NAB SAROJINI TRILOK NATH

Monica Sharma, Savita Singh, Krishan Kumar Murugan and Ajay Dhanak 

NAB DELHI AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE 2017 
presented to
KRISHAN KUMAR MURUGAN

Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes
life meaningful. Despite all difficulties, obstacles, life challenges and
his Disability, Mr. Krishan Kumar Murugan created best opportunities for
himself and paved his path to excellence. 

Mr. Murugan was born in 1983 at Villupuram District, Tamil Nadu. He lost his
sight at an early stage. This, however, didn't affect his vision and he
decided to migrate to Delhi to pursue his education. He joined National
Association for the Blind, Delhi and pursued his education through its
Integrated Education Program. Mr. Murugan holds an Honors Degree in History
from University of Delhi and has also successfully completed part 1 of CCNA
security. He works as An Accessibility Senior Technical Lead at HCL
Technologies, Noida.

He had started his career as a Technical Helpdesk Executive in the computer
department at National Association for the Blind, Delhi and eventually moved
to TATA Consultancy Services as an Assistant Consultant

Apart from making a mark at the professional front, it was Mr. Murugan's
adventurous spirit that enabled him to excel in a series of activities like
Martial Arts, swimming and cricket. He is a national level swimmer as well.

He developed a deep interest in computer application and maintenance of
hardware/software and use of Assistive Technology. As a result of his
passion for computers and serving attitude towards disability, he has
assisted a number of visually challenged individuals to learn various
aspects of Assistive Technology.

Mr. Murugan strongly believes that the access to information and
Communication is the key to empowering person with disabilities in India and
Assistive Technology can act as facilitator. For his vision and ability, we
feel proud to bestow this man of substance with the NAB DELHI AWARD FOR
EXCELLENCE 2017

 
NAB DELHI AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE 2017 
presented to
SAVITA SINGH

Strength does not come from physical capacity but from an indomitable will.
Savita Singh lost her sight at the tender age of four due to chicken pox but
her spirit remained undeterred. She joined National Association for the
Blind, Delhi and finished her schooling. She then went on to pursue her
graduation from St Stephens College, University of Delhi, Post Graduation in
International Relations from Jawaharlal Nehru University and an M. Phil in
International Organization. Ms Singh is currently pursuing her Doctorate in
the same field. 

She is a faculty member in the Department of Political Science at Zakir
Husain College, University of Delhi Since 2010 and also serves as an active
member of the college's Governing Council. Among her many achievements, she
has presented a paper on "Women in Conflict Situations" at the Women's World
Congress held at the Central University of Hyderabad in 2014. She has also
attended a one-month course on "Military Observers Mission" as a special
participant with the United Nations Peacekeepers at the Center for United
Nations Peacekeeping Operations (CUNPK) in New Delhi in 2012. 

Beyond academics, she has participated in several cultural programmes at
various institutions, including theatre, poetry recitation, clay-modelling
and essay-writing. Being a sports enthusiast, she has scaled the
13,220-ft-high Dzongri Peak during an adventure course organized by the
Himalayan Institute of Mountaineering in Darjeeling in 1998.

She was awarded the Rotary Youth Leadership Award by Rotary International in
2008 and the Neelum Khurshed Kanga Award by the Committee for Advancement of
the Status of Blind Women, NAB Mumbai in 2011. With deep gratitude and
appreciation we present you, a woman of substance, the prestigious NAB DELHI
AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE 2017. 
 
NAB DELHI AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE 2017 
presented to
MONICA SHARMA

Along with the firm pillars of strength and support that are her parents,
she began the journey of this lifetime on 21st February, 1980. On account of
100% visual impairment, which was discovered when she was six months old,
grasping the usage of senses other than vision was the natural course to the
most to complete way of life. Mastery over Braille, orientation and mobility
offered access to the doors of independence and awareness to her, like many
on this journey. 
Ms Sharma was among the first 25 students to reap the benefits of the
Integrated Education program of National Association for the Blind, Delhi.
Owing to collaborative efforts by regular institutes she studied in, like
NAB Delhi, Faith Academy and Delhi Public School, she was the all-India
topper with 97% marks in psychology in the 12th standard. 
Her transition as a graduate from
