Re: [AI] Launch of simply Reading app

[Ajay Minocha]

Hi,

Have installed the app and must say that it is a very good effort
towards giving a clutter-free and easy to use e-reader to the visually
impaired community.

One big concern is of regular updates which sadly hasn't been the case
with few wonderful apps i.e. accessible reader, which doesn't work on
latest versions of android. These apps can only help us if they are
regularly updated.

Cheers,
Ajay

Re: [AI] Effectively organizing religious ceremonies andparticipating in them, and concerning latest EVO E5 Firmware Version

[Arijeet Patil]

Dear list,
From the point of view of an attendee, I find weddings quite enjoyable, though 
I get disheartened when it gets into a slightly over the top visual mood such 
as the already mentioned shooting photo after photo as well as the colours 
involved in the décor. I have had loads of dancing practice experiences, and 
particularly partake in dancing at weddings with close ones present as partners.
As I get older, probably, and my responsibilities increase, I will possibly 
realize the context in which these tasks are considered daunting according to 
this discussion.
Thank you all for sharing your inputs in this discussion. I have been mostly 
inactive on this list as I find many of the issues talked about not relevant to 
me (especially my age and consequential life situation) but on the other hand 
understanding is a key element of teamwork, and I try to the best of my 
abilities to recognize the scale and impact of the discussed topics. I think 
I’m having a fresh start after this matter.
On a new subject, I would like to enquire about the latest firmware version of 
EVO E5. I had been using it for some time but discarded it as I felt the 
version I was using was outdated. Does the version depend on the model 
(Monolingually English, bilingually English and Hindi, or the Multilingual 
Model)  of the gadget? I am using the Monolingual Model, which is using a 
version starting with “1” and released on 14 May 2015. If this is not the 
latest firmware and the version does not depend on the model, is there a way to 
upgrade it?
Would like to know your valuable opinions.
Best regards,
Arijeet Patil.

Thanks, Rajesh sir and Kriti. Rajesh sir, thanks for that elaboration. I also 
think that, in recent years, a lot of things have gotten transferred from box 2 
to 3 and some from box 3 to 4. That said, there are a fair number of things 
that still remain in box 1, which are really irreversible, and some in box 2 
which can be transferred to box 3 or 4 with appropriate interventions and 
ability.

Kriti, thanks for those points. I did participate in many of the things you 
mentioned, such as deciding the textual content of cards and finalizing the 
food menu. But during the course of the actual wedding, one has to take the 
back seat which can be disheartening. This also gets widely noticed by all and 
sundry, and people are quick to pass judgment. If one is an introvert on top of 
having a disability, things become even harder.

Re: [AI] Launch of simply Reading app

[Dipendra Manocha]

Right now this is released with EPUB and DAISY. These are the formats that you 
are most likely to get from Sugamya Pustakalaya and bookshare.

Rest of the  formats will be introduced in future releases. Right now we 
required an app that is connected to the online libraries in India and could 
support reading of books on connected braille devices too.

Thanks
Dipendra
