[AI] Need Talks for Symbion Phone

2020-12-01 Thread Ram Kumar Sharma
Dear Friends,

I am on the look out for a mobile phone for my father who has lost
considerable vision due to old age related problems.

A friend suggested symbion phone with Talks since my father would be
using the phone for making/receiving calls and sending/receiving SMS
only.

These days symbion phones  are not available easily butt I was able to
find Nokia E5 on Flipkart.

Please let me know from where I can download Talks software.

If someone has the software, pls send it privately to my mail ID

Thanks

Re: [AI] Google TTS issues

2020-12-01 Thread Ishant
Hello Ankita, it is the major issue with Google TTS that it gets hang on
WhatsApp whenever the focus goes on the name of the group otherwise it
works fine. You can ask client to use auto TTS with E-speak or vocalizer
TTS as the primary one and Google TTS as secondary TTS. eloquence is also
quick in response like E-speak but its development has been stopped and it
is no longer available on Play Store now. And if you want to know how to do
the settings of auto Tts then there are many tutorials available on
YouTube...

[AI] Tips on Face ID in iPhone

2020-12-01 Thread 'Mohammed Asif Iqbal (IN)' via AccessIndia
Hi all,
I recently migrated from iPhone 8 to iPhone12Mini.
I am facing a huge challenge for unlocking the phone through Face ID.
Let's say if I unlock 10 times; then I am only successful 6 out of 10
times.
Is there any techniques or tips that would work being blind  to look
at the phone in order to unlock through using Face Id. Please note
that I am totally blind with light perception.
Thanks and looking forward to hear from you at your earliest opportunity.
Asif

[AI] Google TTS issues

2020-12-01 Thread Ankita Gera
Dear All,

Good Evening! Hope everyone is safe!

Eyeway has received queries regarding technical glitches with Google TTS
when used with Talk back.
A client is using MI Redmi 8 and he is using a Google TTS version which was
updated on 31st March 2020.
Even Talk back is the latest updated version.
In language he is facing difficulty in Hindi, English, and Marathi ,
also his phone gets hung when the Google TTS with talk back is used on
whatsapp.

Has anyone faced a similar issue and of yes, is there a solution ?

*Regards*

[AI] Daily Eyeway Alerts

2020-12-01 Thread Ritu Jain
Dear All,
Please find the below Daily Eyeway Alerts:
1. Event-
Invitation to join us for an important dialogue and launch event
organised by Saksham and supported by Amway India on December 4 at 4
PM
Technology solutions are game changer in education, livelihood and
day-to-day activities for persons with blindness or low vision. The
start-up eco-system and very well targeted programs
at engineering education institutions, we have many path breaking,
affordable solutions available that are compatible with Indian
languages.   However, these solutions have yet not
reached majority of the population who need them the most.
Development, distribution, training and support are essential for
successfully addressing this challenge. Coordination and cooperation
among various stake holders is extremely important.
Saksham has been working since 2003 in this space. In yet another step
towards our mission, we are organizing a webinar to facilitate a
dialogue among important stakeholders in the space of inclusive
technology. We are extremely thankful to key mentors and guiding
lights to be part of this dialogue who represent important stake
holder groups. These include:
 Chief guest padma Shri Prof Y.S. Rajan: He is a celebrated scientist
and is playing facilitating innovation in assistive technology
solutions for persons with disabilities as   Chair
PA Technology Innovation for Disabled and Elderly,
Department of Science and Technology, Government of India
 Guest of Honour Dr Pramod Seth, Jt. Secretary department of
Empowerment of Persons With Disabilities which has extremely important
role in development and distribution of assistive technology solutions
to persons with disabilities.
•Guest of honour Mr. Saikat Ghosh, Sr. Vice President,
Digital and Global Solutions India, Amway Enterprise. He brings in he
perspective of the Industry and private enterprise with very strong
CSR program and inclusion.
•Keynote speaker Mr. Chapal Khasnabis, Head (a.i.), Access to
Assistive Technology and Medical Devices Unit, World Health
Organisation (WHO). He brings in the role of health and
rehabilitation services  delivery infrastructure in the eco-system of
providing AT solutions to persons with disabilities.
•Keynote Speaker prof Madhusudan Rao, Mehra Chair Professor, Head,
Department of Design, IIT Delhi bringing in the perspective of
technology institution that has a dedicated
lab to development of assistive technology solutions for persons with
blindness or low vision.
•Keynote Speaker Dr Bhushan Punani, President: ICEVI West Asia
bringing in the perspective of rehabilitation professionals, civil
society and service providers.In December Last year, Saksham launched
saktek.in online not for profit store for assistive and inclusive
technology
solutions. This platform proved to be most timely intervention
especially during the Covid19 related lockdowns, travel restrictions
and social distancing. We are excited to announce the launch of the
Saksham app for android and IOS smartphones during this event and will
get a chance to   look at what this app has to offer in filling the
