Re: [AI] Link to tomorrow's Eyeway Encounters with Team Srikanth

[Suhas Karnik]

I have attended yesterday's session organised by highway let us wish this
film a great success we hope this will be a block bluster film there was a
passing remark by George Abram sir that the cricket commentary on
television are not blind friendly but I have observed for this IPL season
that Star Plus had started a sports channel that is star plus 3 in which
the commentary is more narrative they are giving ball by ball description
and they have also given sign language sign language interpretation the
commentators are mostly those who have done commentary on radio for example
and it is very blind friendly the world is changing

Re: [AI] A pleasant surprise: It's not just shower gel, and no this is not off-topic for the blind!!

[Austin Pinto]

i have found braille on atms since long time back, but i think this is
catching up more as the seet numbers in Vande Bharat Express are labled on
handles at the back of the ile side seats
but this is a good move. there are lots of talking micro ovens and other
things in other countries hope all of this comes to india.

RE: [AI] A pleasant surprise: It's not just shower gel, and no this is not off-topic for the blind!!

[minalsinghvi]

Yes, it's a pleasant moment for us when we can easily manage these kinds of 
products without needing anyone's help. Even though I don't read Braille 
quickly, I can still understand when I run my fingers over it. But, 

Savlon has Braille markings on some of their products for over five years, such 
as the hand wash and antiseptic gel. At the Radio Udaan convention, we 
distributed these products to raise awareness in our community. However, when 
we approached Savlon to extend this feature to all their products, they 
mentioned that there is very little demand for such products. It's 
disheartening that while we advocate for accessibility publicly, there seems to 
be minimal interest when it comes to actual usage. Only a few people here 
inquire about accessible products.

 

Regards,

Minal

off-topic for the blind!!

 

Hi friends,

 

A few weeks back, my wife bought some shower gel on Amazon. Seemed like an 
ordinary event and I thought nothing of it.

When the package arrived, my eldest son excitedly brought it to me. “Baba! 
Baba! Come check this out” he exclaimed as he put the bottle into my hands.

Not thinking much of it I asked “What is this?” without much examination of the 
bottle. “sShower gel” he said, still excited. “Feel the bottle”.

Somehow I still didn’t catch on, as I fingered lamely around the bottle’s 
edges. “Ok Nice”, I said. “Go pack this away now”.

“No! Feel the face of the bottle. Feel properly.” He insisted. I now knew 
something was up so with more alertness I carefully examined the face of the 
bottle.

Before I could even figure it out he exclaimed “Braille!” And he was right. Not 
just that, but both the front face and on the rear face had a whole lot of 
braille.

On the front face across the short side was written in short single lines as 
follows:

Fiama

Shower

Gel

 

On the opposite face, this time along the length of the bottle was written, 
again in beautiful braille letters along the length of the bottle this time:

Patchouli

And macadamia

 

It was uncontracted, no capitalization of letters, the dots felt somewhat faded 
on the plastic label, but still it was a pleasant surprise indeed. Coming to 
India I wasn’t sure I would ever see beautiful braille again, here in the 
village of Vrindavana.

 

Just for this fact I would like to keep buying this product, to simply say 
thank you for remembering us on the fringes of society, while most others see 
us as nothing more than disabled people that might at least be able to sing for 
some handout. We now bought 4 bottles in total for the moment, and every 
morning I can’t help running my fingers over the braille when I take some out 
to shower my body. It just feels so warmly familiar.

 

Just wanted to share this small yet heart-warming story of my own personal 
experience.

 

With kind regards,

Yamuna Jivana dasa

[Reach Now]

Greetings yamuna:

Hare Krishna!

This is most interesting indeed.

I have never heard of this company but will surely check them out first thing 
tomorrow and place an order too. 

I also plan to leave a review on Amazon featuring my appreciation post 
purchase.  I also encourage others to do the same. 

As they say, there is strength in numbers.

I have always believed that reservations, promotions, special programs and so 
on for our community are mostly lip service. Only a handful of organizations 
are performing genuine work like this one. 
Thanks and regards,


Rajesh from Noida

Thanks for sharing this awesome first hand experience.

It’s good that companies have started taking it a note of it.

Re: [AI] Post about requesting Dava India pharmacy to use braille on medicine packets.

[Maruti Paramwad]

No, I don’t have any problem to promote braille. Can you tell me how will you print braille on a small box? Please read above message carefully. I think with some practice we can use QR code. Again, I am telling I don’t have any problem with braille. I’m talking only practical things.Sent from my iPhoneOn 28 Apr 2024, at 9:18 AM, BHAWANI SHANKAR VERMA  wrote:

Hi George sir,

You do make a point.

In-fact, I am surprised that I tweeted such a request being
the geek I am.

But what I realised is that having braille on the medicine
packet will save us the extra step of taking out or finding
the phone, opening the app and scanning the packet.

It will also be handy while looking for medicines at the
store because you don't have to occupy one hand with the phone.

The QR also doesn't work quickly because you have to first
scan it using the audio feedback and then it will work.

That too not guarantied because some QRs I tried didn't work
despite scanning them.

Feel free to agree or disagree.

Uber does allow you to define contacts such that you can share your live

RE: [AI] Using uber as a mode of transport and how to commute by rikshaw independently

[Pranav Lal]

Hi Saurav and all,

 

I too prefer a fixed driver but that introduces a single point of failure. 

 

Most uber drivers in my experience do get you until the main gate. You need to 
ask for their help.

 

 

Yes, getting to a place beyond the main gate becomes a problem which is where, 
at least in offices and at hotels, local guards do help. 

 

My college days are behind me but I suspect the security guard could get you up 
till a point assuming he could handover to another guard.

how do you focus the camera to the exact spot of the QR code?

RE: [AI] Post about requesting Dava India pharmacy to use braille on medicine packets.

[george.abraham0]

There is a lot of info in print on the medicine packets. Cannot imagine how all 
of that in Braille would fit on the packet.

Hello,

My thought is that braille is not understood by all blinds, specially many late 
blinds, posing a challenge in such solution.

 

Of course QR code can come with its challenges too.

 

In Europe, companies like AZ have adopted including QR in their medicine 
packets already as part of their accessibility and carbon emission initiatives. 
I recently attended a webinar on that. Here's an article talking about one 
such: https://pharmaphorum.com/news/bayer-adds-qr-code-pack-help-blind-patients

 

Thanks,

Vaibhav

Hi George sir,

You do make a point.

In-fact, I am surprised that I tweeted such a request being the geek I am.

But what I realised is that having braille on the medicine packet will save us 
the extra step of taking out or finding the phone, opening the app and scanning 
the packet.

It will also be handy while looking for medicines at the store because you 
don't have to occupy one hand with the phone.

The QR also doesn't work quickly because you have to first scan it using the 
audio feedback and then it will work.

That too not guarantied because some QRs I tried didn't work despite scanning 
them.

Feel free to agree or disagree.

Hi group,

Sharing below my X post on requesting Dava India, a generic pharmacy to use

Re: [AI] Post about requesting Dava India pharmacy to use braille on medicine packets.

[anirudh rao]

Well QR code itself is an inaccessible option.
I support braille when it comes to medicines especially.
QR codes are difficult to locate and focus the cameras for the totally
visually challenged like us.
as expressed here, both would be an ideal choice.
Coming to the question of late blindness, it is always better to learn
braille than complaining.
my opinion anyway.
