Re: [AI] Chopping Vegetables

2018-12-22 Thread Prashant Ranjan Verma
The tether is a small piece of elastic/string which is used internationally to 
assist the blind persons to participate in races and marathons. One end of the 
tether is held by the sighted runner and the other end by the blind person. The 
sighted runner is abel to provide direction to the blind runner without the 
need for physical contact which is not comfortable while running.
The tether can also be used for jogging etc.  

For creating awareness and to provide more independence to the blind, the 
tether was distributed by Big Bazaar to all the participants of the Cooking 
without looking workshop in the seven cities.

 You can use electric chopper that are easily available in the market.
 Though not with voice commands, these have very simple operating 
 features and you can easily learn to use it with 2 or three uses.
 One more thing I would suggest is a food processor to fulfill your 
 needs of chopping, shredding, slicing, juicing and kneading dough.
 
 Recently, NAB in collaboration with Big Bazaar had organised a 
 workshop called "cooking without looking". It was convened by Payal 
 Kapoor and

Re: [AI] Education

2018-12-22 Thread Rahul Bajaj
I agree about the primary schools idea, but I would submit that the solution 
for noninclusive mainstream schools has to be to push for greater inclusion, 
not to let them remain unaccountable for not being fully inclusive. At the end 
of the day, the world in which we operate is also not inclusive in several key 
ways, so why should children with single disabilities not be equipped with the 
skills to operate in that world, by being in schools which are a microcosm 
thereof?

viz. I can read hindni alphabets and hindi "Matras" seprately.
But in word, jaws and NVDA reads alphabets and Matras simultaneouslly.

 Hi
 You can use electric chopper that are easily available in the market.
 Though not with voice commands, these have very simple operating
 features and you can easily learn to use it with 2 or three uses.
 One more thing I would suggest is a food processor to fulfill your
 needs of chopping, shredding, slicing, juicing and kneading dough.
 
 Recently, NAB in collaboration with Big Bazaar had organised a
 workshop called "cooking without looking". It was convened by Payal
 Kapoor and

 Agarwal in Hyderabad. You can go through their videos too.
