[AI] Tutorial on How to replace navigation buttons with navigation gestures, and use your phone with those gestures

[Santosh Prajapati]

Tutorial link: https://youtu.be/OOK7QICdAZc
Namaste friends. please note, that I am not talking about talkback gestures
in this tutorial at all. Have you got bord of keep pressing and pressing
back, home and recent apps navigation buttons for doing small tasks, such
as back, home and recent apps? As we all know, that we have to press these
buttons multiple times for such a small tasks with talkback, and it is very
time consuming. Isn’t it? Now here is the solution. We can use navigation
gestures instead of buttons for back, home and recent apps. Believe me,
these gestures are very handy to use. Surely you will love it!
 For more information, listen this tutorial. Please like and share this

questions or suggestions, please put in the comment section. Happy learning.

[AI] Union Bank conducted accessibility capacity building program

[Prashant Naik]

Dear All

Awareness on accessibility and assistive technology is one of the important
pillars of the accessibility journey for an organisation.

In the services sector like banking this becomes more important as the
industry is ever changing to meet diverse customer needs through digital
means.

The Union Learning Academy, Digital Transformation conducted an awareness
session titled “Accessibility Matters” for app/website developers, testers
and related officials on 20th March 2023.

The session was conducted by Saidarshan Bhagat from C-DAC Mumbai who is an
expert in the domain and was part of the committee on BIS Standards on ICT
accessibility. This special capacity building program was supported by the
Team Union Access, Union Bank’s flagship initiative on digital
accessibility improvements.

The leadership at Union Bank of India is embedding accessibility and
inclusivity in its core philosophy.  "Accessibility by design is the best
practice" a key concept shared by Shri Anil Kuril, Chief Technical Officer,
Union Bank of India in his keynote speech during valedictory session.

Thanks & Regards
Prashant Naik

[AI] A Tale Of Two Ereaders: The Good News Launched By NLS

[dipendra.lists]

The article below is in the latest edition of Access Braille Magazine. This is 
a perfect example of how bulk purchase of a product by the government can bring 
cost down for everyone and get a product in hands of thousands of users. I  can 
only imagine and dream that one day Indian government may decide to put 1 
braille displays in the hands of users in one year. We can drive the 
specifications and get the RBD of our own specifications and requirement at an 
affordable cost. This is what NLS did.

https://afb.org/aw/24/3/18242

A Tale Of Two Ereaders: The Good News Launched By NLS 
Deborah Kendrick
For most of us, March 2020 will always evoke the memory of lockdown, 
quarantines, masks and all of the other traumatizing changes wrought by the 
onset of the Coronavirus pandemic. But there were positive events taking place 
in March 2020 as well, and the one that stamped its most indelible memory on a 
few of us doing work for the National Library Service for the Blind and Print 
Disabled was the launch of the NLS Braille eReader Pilot.
A Little History
In the summer of 2013, a conference was held in Watertown, Mass. that would 
bring significant changes to the delivery of braille materials by the NLS. The 
Braille Summit was a think tank of sorts, bringing together braille teachers, 
braille readers, braille producers and other lovers of braille to dig in and 
brainstorm the future and promotion of braille. One significant idea that came 
from that intense conversation was that putting a refreshable braille device in 
the hands of all braille readers would encourage the reading of braille and 
provide braille material in a more equitable fashion to blind people. Rather 
than long waiting lists for a finite number of braille copies of a single book, 
an infinite number of readers could download that book to read and choose their 
own time for reading it. Many braille readers had been downloading books for 
years by 2013, but refreshable braille displays are costly and were therefore 
not available to all.
Fast forward just five years to an amazing appropriation by the United States 
Congress, a one-time appropriation of five million dollars in order for NLS to 
launch the eReader pilot. Bids went out. Two products were selected, and in 
March 2020, seven of us began putting these machines through their paces. 
Spearheaded by Tamara Rorie, head of the Patron Engagement Section of the 
National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled, the pilot is now a 
program, the two eReaders have been distributed to 40 of the 50 states, and the 
plan is for all states to have received their units by the end of 2023.
Two Machines, One Set of Functions
Certainly, there are differences between the two eReaders. They look and feel 
distinctly different from one another. There are some distinctions in features 
and performance. The important takeaway, however, is that they are both 
powerful machines designed to do the same job: Display and download books and 
magazines from the National library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled. 
And both do that job extremely well! One is from Zoomax; the other is from 
HumanWare. I'll first provide an overview of their physical appearances, and 
then a more detailed analyses of features and functions.
Physical Description
Both NLS eReaders are small enough to fit into most typical backpacks, tote 
bags, or purses. The Zoomax measures 8 inches wide, 5 inches deep, and 1.5 
inches tall. The HumanWare eReader is from one-half inch to one inch smaller in 
every dimension. Both machines have 20 braille cells, with 20 accompanying 
cursor routing buttons. Both have long battery life. Both are charged via a 
USB-C port. Both have powerful wifi and Bluetooth capabilities. Both have 16GB 
internal memory, and both are designed to accommodate additional storage via SD 
card and/or USB flash drive.
Each eReader ships with the following accessories: a custom carrying case and 
lanyard; a USB-C cable and power block for charging; a USB-A cable for 
connecting an NLS-style cartridge, and a hardcopy braille user's guide.
HumanWare
The HumanWare eReader has the eight-dot Perkins-style keyboard (the six braille 
keys plus Backspace and Enter), on top, in a slightly curved arrangement 
believed to be more ergonomic. Directly in front of the keys are the 20 cursor 
routing buttons (which feel like large round dots), Followed by the 20 8-dot 
braille cells. Finally, at the front of the top surface, at its center, are two 
space bars.
On the front edge of the unit are four evenly spaced rectangular thumb keys, 
with one round Selector button in the middle. In addition to acting as the four 
arrows found in a cursor cross on a qwerty keyboard, these keys are used for 
panning backward and forward, executing navigational commands, and more. 
Patrons who have used other HumanWare braille products will recognize the thumb 
keys as a brand standard.
On the left edge are the USB-C port, power b

Re: [AI] IndiGo does it again

[Payal Ki Jhankar]

thanks, Ajay. I am waiting to see where it goes. I have lodged a
formal complaint with the Air Sewa portal via email. I did it last
night, and am waiting for an acknowledgement of the mail from their
end. I have been advised by insiders in the industry, that this is the
right way to go; and even if it takes time, which it will, it should
reach a meaningful resolution.
I will keep everyone here posted.
I will also request everyone to please register complaints against any
service provider, who takes us for granted, and gives us shoddy
service.

   Entrepreneur-student makes ‘green’ pens, helps visually impaird eke
   out a living

KOLKATA: A polytechnic student who had lost two academic years to 
financial constraints during the pandemic is going  the green way to 
continue with his studies and, at the same  time, helping 
visually-impaired people make a living by selling eco-friendly ballpoint 
pens he makes at home. He is  also financing the studies of his sister 
who will sit for Madhyamik next year.


Subhajeet Saha (22) from Noapara, a diploma student of electronics and 
communications at Shree Ramkrishna Institute of Science and Technology, 
Baruipur, has garnered attention from social organisations and 
environment enthusiasts for the paper- pens filled with seeds of 
saplings he makes. He also launched paper pencils and bamboo 
toothbrushes under his brand — Rohit Ecofriendly.
Saha has teamed up with around 100 visually-impaired hawkers, including 
10 women, to sell these pens on trains, buses, and on the streets. 
 These hawkers belong to 35 NGOs that also help Saha sell his green 
products at various events.
“The process of making the pens is simple. It takes a few seconds to 
wrap a refill with art paper and put a seed at the rear. At least six or 
seven pens can be made from one art paper. I have engaged around 50 
women from NGOs to make the pens. My mother also helps out,” said Saha, 
who is now contemplating making fountain pens with bamboo, and looking 
 for a deal with nib manufacturers.

[AI] At Apple, Rare Dissent Over a New Product: Interactive Goggles

[avinash shahi]

When Apple held a corporate retreat in California’s Carmel Valley
about five years ago to discuss its next major product, Jony Ive, its
longtime design chief, captivated a room of the company’s 100 top
executives with a concept video as polished as an Apple commercial.

The video showed a man in a London taxi donning an augmented reality
headset and calling his wife in San Francisco. “Would you like to come
to London?” he asked, two people who saw the video said. Soon, the
couple were sharing the sights of London through the husband’s eyes.

The video excited executives about the possibilities of Apple’s next
business-altering device: a headset that would blend the digital world
with the real one.

But now, as the company prepares to introduce the headset in June,
enthusiasm at Apple has given way to skepticism, said eight current
and former employees, who requested anonymity because of Apple’s
policies against speaking about future products. There are concerns
about the device’s roughly $3,000 price, doubts about its utility and
worries about its unproven market.
That dissension has been a surprising change inside a company where
employees have built devices — from the iPod to the Apple Watch — with
the single-mindedness of a moon mission.

Some employees have defected from the project because of their doubts
about its potential, three people with knowledge of the moves said.
Others have been fired over the lack of progress with some aspects of
the headset, including its use of Apple’s Siri voice assistant, one
person said.
Even leaders at Apple have questioned the product’s prospects. It has
been developed at a time when morale has been strained by a wave of
departures from the company’s design team, including Mr. Ive, who left
Apple in 2019 and stopped advising the company last year.

An Apple spokeswoman declined to comment on the company’s plans for
future products.

Apple’s headset is considered a bellwether for virtual and augmented
reality. For more than a decade, tech leaders have been hyping it as
the next wave of computing after the smartphone. Apple’s chief
executive, Tim Cook, told university students last year that in the
near future “you’ll wonder how you lived your life without augmented
reality, just like today you wonder: How did people like me grow up
without the internet?”
But the road to deliver augmented reality has been littered with
failures, false starts and disappointments, from Google Glass to Magic
Leap and from Microsoft’s HoloLens to Meta’s Quest Pro. Apple is
considered a potential savior because of its success combining new
hardware and software to create revolutionary devices. Still, the
challenges are daunting.

Meta, Facebook’s parent company, has plowed billions of dollars into
trying to build a virtual reality business. The experience has been
humbling. It has sold about 20 million of its $400 Quest 2 headsets
since 2020 and recently cut the price of the Quest Pro, its premium
device, to $1,000 from $1,500 amid lackluster sales.

By comparison, Apple sells more than 200 million iPhones annually with
an average selling price of more than $800.
Unlike the iPhone, which incorporated many existing technologies,
virtual reality is requiring Apple and others to design new chips and
wearable displays, said Matthew Ball, author of “The Metaverse: And
How It Will Revolutionize Everything.” “The difficulty of the problem
has been far greater than anyone expected,” he added.
Uncertainty about the potential of Apple’s project has led some people
who have worked on it to speculate that the company could delay its
release, especially in light of the shaky economy, these people said.
The company has postponed other new products in the past, including
AirTags, the coin-size location tracking devices, which Apple withheld
for more than a year as it addressed privacy issues. But at this
point, headset manufacturing is underway for a planned reveal in June,
the people said.

Apple is projected to ship fewer than 500,000 headsets in a year,
according to Counterpoint Research, a market research firm. By
comparison, the company was expected to ship about 40 million Apple
Watches after its debut. The modest expectations for the headset speak
to the challenges in a category where sales declined 12 percent last
year to $1.1 billion, according to NPD Group, a market research firm.

Seeking to define a nascent market is an aberration for Apple.

“Apple is always pretty good at coming into a market when the market
is already established and changing that market,” said Carolina
Milanesi, a consumer tech analyst for the research firm Creative
Strategies. “This is not the case for Apple VR and XR. There’s still a
lot of learning.”
Some internal skeptics have questioned if the new device is a solution
in search of a problem. Unlike the iPod, which put digital songs in
people’s pockets, and the iPhone, which combined the abilities of a
music player and a phone, the headset hasn’t been driven by the sam

Re: [AI] IndiGo does it again

[Minar Singh]

Hi Payal,

I can understand your situation because I had experience a similar
situation with Air India in 2018 at Netaji Subhashchandra bose Kolkata
airport. I had to shout after waiting for 20 minutes. Air India had
promised me that their representative will assist me after landing
from Banaras to Kolkata airport. But scene was different.

Re: [AI] IndiGo does it again

[Prerna Sobti]

Everyone is talking about the hi and low of their travel experiences. everyone 
is taking example of Indigo and Vistara, That they were helpful and good 
experiences Er lines. H however, The only time I had flown after I lost my 
eyesight Voice from Delhi to Goa. And I had flown through Vistara where they 
had demanded extra money when asked about facilities for disabled people at 
that point of time I was not connected with this mailing list and was not aware 
of anything about late blindness rights what is available what is not available 
Cho I have had bad experience with the airlines which is very widely loved by 
everyone. Show in the end within the community we should be supportive of each 
other without finding loopholes within the community and be united.
Best

Dear friends out there,
Are there any technical writers who are working with any good MNCs

I have an MA in English and am interested in technology and trying to
switch my career to this field.
Having a good experience in teaching, I can convey the technical
matters in an easy and effective manner to the general public.
Please guide me if there are any such resourceful persons on the list
and feel free to get in touch.
Do give me a call on 7483524452.
Thanks in advance.
