Re: [AI] Sugamya Bharat App

[Ashutosh Singhal]

I have already sent this video uploading request to the Sugamya Bharat App
Team. I also requested: App internal Guide Camera which can help us to take
photos according to their needs. I also gave examples of SaralX App,
Invission AI and Google Lookout Guide Camera feature. I can not comment
much about the video uploading because I am using Android 13 and it is not
Android 13 compatible. That's why I am not able to use the Camera and Open
the Gallery.
After registering the complaint you will get your complaint number, Sugamya
Bharat Team will send the email to service provider when they will send you
will also get email, they do not told any time limit to send the email from
their side but they send as my Indian Express, Sugamya Bharat and Dainik
Bhaskar News Paper complain already emailed to the service provider but my
some older complains did not emailed yet even my registered complains are
older than Indian Express's complain. I raised this thing many times to
them even yesterday only. Mam told me, It gets time to Mapping the
concern authority.
I have already reported many bugs of Sugamya Bharat App to Sugamya Bharat
App Team's mam and sir. You can report in the app itself Thank you.

 App Backend Team yesterday. They are trying to cooperate with me after
 sending unlimited posts from Twitter/X App, Google PlayStore Rating,
 Emails, Edestrict Website and a lot more feedbacks from different platforms
 which I sent previously. He told me that they have already solved the
 sign-in issue from their side and sent this request to Google PlayStore
 Team. Now Google PlayStore Team is working on this request.
 The main info I got was that the app making motive is really good,
 like: Any disabled person can report any digital, infrastructure, and
 transport etc. accessibility issue of government as well as private player.
 Sugamya Bharat Team will send the feedback to the inaccessible service
 provider and even take follow-up from the inaccessible service provider
 unless the issue is resolved.
 I got a fair idea from his conversation that due to red tapism, the app
 is not providing proper service to disabled users. Yes, he told me that the
 app work was stopped around 6 months ago and it started again 2 months ago.
 Now it has so many bugs other than which I have already reported and
 whichever bugs I have known yet, I have mostly reported to him and some to
 the mam who is from Department of Empowerment of Persons With Disabilities.
 I am in constant touch with the Sugamya Bharat Team. I also told him the
 issue which I got to know from a speech impaired person from a group that
 "as a speech impaired person, I want OTP on WhatsApp because there is not
 much use of calling plan except mobile data. So sometimes if we have WiFi
 connection, we do not recharge and our SIM gets blocked and OTP does not
 come". Sir answered me that there is one method for it but it cannot be
 possible due to money and billing. I suggested him what about sending the
 OTP to email. He was not positive for this. I (Ashutosh) request you to
 report this issue in the Sugamya Bharat App. Please bel

RE: [AI] SAP Query

[Pranav Lal]

Manjula,

 

This is a loaded question because there is no one way to handle SAP portals. 
They are incredibly inaccessible. You need to use a mix of browse and focus 
modes to get anything done. 

 

You may need to switch between these modes at different parts of a single page.

Pranav

[Yamuna Jivana Dasa (Yoganathan Khandoo)]

Hi,
Please advise: You say "We are offering this session free of charge" then you 
say "there is registration fee of 50 Rupees". If the offer is free, why do you 
need to charge for registration? The registration is done via Google or 
Microsoft Form, which does not cost money.
Thank you for considering my inquiry.

Kind regards,
Yamuna Jivana dasa

Subject: Invitation for awareness session on g mail standard view with NVDA

Dear Friends,

I hope this message finds you well. As most of us are using Gmail for our email 
communication, we have found the basic HTML view in Gmail to be incredibly 
accessible to screen readers. This feature has greatly facilitated our email 
management, making the communication process smoother and more efficient.

However, we want to inform you about an upcoming change: Google plans to phase 
out the basic HTML view within the next couple of months. In light of this 
development, we are preparing ourselves to transition to the standard view in 
Gmail. The good news is that the standard view is also very accessible, and we 
can continue managing our emails with ease.

To assist everyone in adapting to this change, we are organizing an Awareness 
Session on Gmail Standard View with NVDA. This session will take place on 
Sunday, November 26, 2023, at 7:00 PM. During this one-hour session, we will 
focus on using the standard view in Gmail specifically with NVDA, the popular 
screen reader software.

Session Details:

Date: Sunday, November 26, 2023
Time: 7:00 PM
Duration: 1 Hour

from it. To participate, all you need to do is enroll using the following link:

Dear Sandeep

This is to inform you that you can register for Tech Roshni workshop run by
XRCVC. Every Saturday a new topic is covered. Below is the announcement
pasting as it is:

"St. Xavier’s College, XRCVC -Viviana extension is happy to announce an
online workshop on the theme *“**Using Standard G-mail with NVDA & JAWS”* under
its Tech Roshni series – A step at bridging the digital divide for blind

Parakh Discretionary Trust*.

Extensive use of Android phones and G-mail has become an integral part of
today’s lifestyle. Many screen reader users are using basic html view while
using G-mail, on computers due to the simple web based interface. But
Google is removing basic HTML view from Gmail in 2024. Standard View
provides an interface like that of other Google Workspace programs, and can
be functional using keyboard commands stated by Google. It also offers
access to the entire range of Gmail features.

In an upcoming workshop, we will learn some basic features of G-mail in
standard view with screen reader NVDA & JAWS.

*Eligibility*: participants should have a good knowledge of Internet
browsing, typing and screen reader.

Limited seats are available for the session.

[AI] New York Times Reports: The Cost of Being Disabled in New York City Housing

[avinash shahi]

Claire Perlman is the editor for accessibility and aging in place at Wirecutter.
As a wheelchair user, I have always had to pay a premium to live in an
apartment independently. In my nine years living in New York City, I
have spent more than $18,500 on automatic door openers, amenities just
to make the places I’ve lived in accessible.

I shouldn’t have had to do this; in almost every case, it was legally
the landlord’s responsibility, experts have told me. But in the early
years, I didn’t know better, and more recently, my landlords have
refused to pay. I was worried that I would lose the apartment if I put
up a fuss. I could afford it because I have had consistent income from
my work as a journalist and private investigator, but it meant my
savings during my 20s largely went toward making my homes accessible.

For thousands of other New Yorkers with disabilities, this kind of
expense simply isn’t feasible. In some cases, landlords are refusing
to make accommodations or asking tenants to foot the bill, leaving
even those with ample resources without an accessible place to live.
Oftentimes, lawyers and disability rights advocates say, landlords are
skirting the law to reject tenants.
Several factors determine whether I, and many other disabled people,
can enter an apartment: There can’t be steps at the building’s
entrance. The unit needs to be on the ground floor or the building
needs an elevator. The doorways need to be at least 27 inches wide so
my wheelchair can fit through them. The bathroom must be big enough to
fit my wheelchair. Most crucially, since I don’t have full use of my
arms, I can’t open doors without remote-control-operated door openers,
which are installed on the doors of my unit and at the building’s main
entrance.
At almost every apartment I’ve lived in, this has presented an
expensive fight with landlords that I was never fully prepared for.

Accessible apartments that are also affordable are hard to come by. As
of 2021, only 32 percent of the units in New York City could be
entered without stairs, according to a city analysis, and the majority
of those are in newly constructed luxury buildings where rents are far
higher than in older structures.

A number of laws give people with disabilities a right to equal
housing — like the Americans With Disabilities Act, the federal Fair
Housing Act, the New York State Human Rights Law and the New York City
Human Rights Law. New York City has some of the strongest legal
protections in the country, said Elizabeth Grossman, the executive
director of the Fair Housing Justice Center, an organization that
provides legal support to New Yorkers fighting housing discrimination.
Taken together, these laws require New York City landlords to cover
the cost of any “reasonable modifications” — like the automatic door
opener — unless they create undue financial hardship or are
architecturally infeasible. But some landlords argue that
accommodations are not reasonable and refuse to pay for them.

Cori Rosen, a lawyer at Rosenberg & Estis who represents primarily
landlords and real estate developers in accessibility compliance
litigation, said developers and building owners should be proactive on
their legal obligations rather than make modifications only after a
complaint was filed.

“I think a lot of people think compliance with the building code is
compliance with the fair housing laws,” Ms. Rosen said. “Many are
surprised by the additional requirements under the fair housing laws.”

For tenants who use housing vouchers, which subsidize the cost of
renting, the issues are compounded.
“People who have housing vouchers are more likely to be people with
disabilities, people of color and single female-headed households,”
Ms. Grossman said. “And there’s significant discrimination against
people who use housing vouchers.”
Natàlia Méndez was frustrated by the city housing lottery. “I just
gave up,” she said. “I had multiple interviews, and they always find
something to deny you.”Credit...Casey Steffens for The New York Times
Natàlia Méndez, 39, a Bronx native and the founder of Women on Wheels,
a nonprofit that supports women with spinal cord injuries, struggled
for years to find an affordable apartment that met her needs. After a
spinal cord injury in 2006, she began using a wheelchair and had to
move to a nursing home in the Bronx for two years because she had no
income at the time to afford rent, and both of her parents lived in
walk-up buildings.
Ms. Méndez eventually found a wheelchair-accessible one-bedroom
apartment in a building owned by the nursing home at a below-market
rate of about $600 a month, but when the building was sold a few years
later, the new owners nearly tripled the rent.

“I watched damn near all of my neighbors get kicked out of that
building,” Ms. Méndez said. “And it was mostly people in wheelchairs,
with disabilities. So that was really unfortunate.”

She lucked out when an acquaintance told her about the Nursing Home

[AI] National awards for persons with disabilities are declared

[Dhananjay Bhole]

Dear all,
National awards for persons with disabilities are announced yesterday.

Delighted to know that Deepsthamba foundation, Jalgaon, Maharashtra is
winner of best organization category.

Deepsthamba foundation is an emerging organization from my native
place "Jalgaon" which works for Higher education and employment of
persons with all kinds of disabilities. Their major contribution is to
support persons with disabilities for preparation of various
competitive examinations. Several of their students have qualified
competitive examinations and appointed as officers in central and
state government agencies of Maharashtra.

Recently they have shifted to highly accessible campus where there
have state of the art facilities for teaching and learning to persons
with disabilities. Their they have accessible hostel, Accessible jim,
Accessible Cafeteria, Accessible class room and auditorium, Computer
lab, Accessible library qualified and Sensitive Staff etc.   To my
knowledge that is one of very few institutes in India which has
accessible Digital services and Accessible Built environment.
I personally believe that Really Deepsthamba foundation deserve. One
must visit their fully accessible campus at Jalgaon.
Congradulation to Deepstamba foundation and its co-founder and
chairman Mr. Yajurvendra Mahajan.

Regards

Re: [AI] Sugamya Bharat App

[Saurav Hegde]

Hi,
I have successfully registered with sited's help.
I also have a suggestion for the app.
It should have the option to upload video as well while registering
complaint.
Some issues can only be demonstrated by videos.
For instance, I have registered complaint against Whatsapp for in
accessible gifs and stickers.
The issue can only be demonstrated by a video.
Can you also explain a bit, how does the app work?
What happens after you have registered a complaint?
