Hi Mohit,

I3 will be more than enough for your usage.
Yes you will be able to use all applications like jaws, Kurzweil on windows

I would suggest you to go for a laptop with I3 along with 8 GB ram.

Hello Dinesh,

Mentioning below few methods to rectify your problem:

Initially check for malware on your computer.
Also check if there is no VPN being used.
If you have installed any extension in the past few days remove them also.
Reset your router and reset your browser too.
Then restart your computer and check if there is any Windows update
available.

Hope this helps

Fiew months back, I have purchased: HP Laptop 14q-cs0xxx which has 256 GB

Hello Dinesh,

Mentioning below few methods to rectify your problem:

Initially check for malware on your computer.
Also check if there is no VPN being used.
If you have installed any extension in the past few days remove them also.
Reset your router and reset your browser too.
Then restart your computer and check if there is any Windows update
available.

Hope this helps

Pramit

Ok Dinesh

Never mind u are new. We all learn each day n stock market is one field where 
we learn all day.
Just explore it. U get many source of info. I take trade on shares based on the 
long buildup for it in a specific stock. Same way when short covering or long 
unwinding there, I either long or short to find quick bugs. 
Many jargon? Then it’s tough explaining  over email. Perhaps I’m sharing my 
knowledge with one of my best brother here. If he succeeds then I will share 
with u all. Of course, we both are 100% impaired. Thanks.

Hello Friends,

 

Since last 2 days, I am constantly getting below error while doing google
search through firefox, internet explorer, chrome.

"Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. This
page checks to see if it's really you sending the requests, and not a
robot."

It then gives capcha for solving, but even there it says try later.

I have tried the online suggested work arounds like browser reset, pc scan,
temp file cleaning,  pc restart, router restart etc, but no luck.

Please suggest on resolving this issue.

moto has dual stereo speakers.

In case those who are using samsung M30S or M31 android phones, can you
please share their reviews?

How is the accessibility of the New Samsung UI 2.0?

Are Samsung phones having a lot of bloatware?

Is there any other stock android phone I should consider?

Please share your valuable inputs.

 

Thanks and Regards.

Dinesh Thole.

Dear Sir,

Are you using the latest version of app on IPhone?
If yes, then after clicking on buy option for particular stock, how do you
change quantity which we want to buy, and how do we select order type?
Adding stocks on watch list is accessible, and no issues there.

I also use the same app, in android swiping with couple of fingers does the
task for me while buying. Removing an item from watch list is difficult as
you have unlabeled buttons but adding is still a bit easier as you have to
manage only one button . Overall, although it is manageable but can't be

[AI] Issues regarding Zerodha traiding kite app accessibility on IPhone.

2020-04-14 Thread Dinesh thole
Hello Friends,

I am using IPhone 10 R with IOS 13.4.

I am a beginner to stock markets and trading, and I have just opened my
account with zerodha.

I am unable to buy shares through the Kite app on IPhone.

After clicking on the buy option for a particular stock, I am not able to
specify the quantity and the order type, nothing happens even after clicking
those options.

Also, some times the app is also crashing.

I am not sure if there is any issue with latest version of Kite.

So those who are using zerodha's Kite app on IPhone, please guide.

I have no issues on laptop.

Thanks and Regards.

Dinesh Thole.

[AI] denial of health insurance by star health and HDFC ERGO on the grounds of vision impairment.

2020-04-03 Thread Dinesh thole
Hi All,

 

Hope you all are doing good.

Insurance companies are still discriminating for providing health insurance
to visually challenged.

Recently I approached star health and HDFC ergo for buying online health
family health insurance for me and my wife(Both 100% visually challenged) .

I clearly told both the companies regarding our vision impairment in a
transparent manner.

HDFC ergo team refused to provide on the grounds of disability.

They said over phone that  medical underwriting team has refused the same.

On the other hand, star health is willing to provide cover only maximum upto
5 lacs where as I had requested for 10 lacs, again as per their medical
underwriting team.

However, all this conversation is over phone, and as usual, both the
companies have not given anything in writing even after my request.

I also gave them reference of the recent circular on Guidelines on
standardization of exclusions in HI Contracts given by IRDA, but no luck.

Both the companies policy terms are not having any such clauses in the
exclusions list for refusing insurance for visually challenged.

Please advise as to whom should I approach?

Please share your advise for purchase of health insurance.

 

Thanks and Regards.

Dinesh Thole

Re: [AI] Making education more inclusive for people with blindness: Learning from CFA Institute

2018-09-02 Thread Dinesh Kaushal
Thanks Turab,

Yes things are improving in India as well. But my main point in this article
is about focusing on technical subjects that require math equations. 

My argument is also not about west vs India, for example, the content that I
got as part of CFA text is also available in BookShare, but the books in
bookshare do not have math ML. Actually, bookshare books only have images in
place of equations. I have asked bookshare about it, they say that they will
do it, but the timing is not clear.

This is the saddest part when material is available in math ML in one place
but it is not available in another place which is supposed to have it. I am
quite happy with bookshare regarding availability of books for non-technical
subjects. As per last count bookshare now has 6.5 lakh books. 

It is high time that we make accessible material available for technical
subjects.

Hi Dinesh,
Heartiest congratulations on clearing CFA!
Your piece is well articulated. Agreed that India has a lot to learn from
the West in terms of imparting accessible education for the disabled.
But things are changing in some progressive institutes. I did my Masters in
law from NALSAR Hyderabad. Happy to share that at NALSAR most of the course
material is made available to the VI students in accessible soft copy by the
administration itself and that to without major requests or representations.
Also, could you share the overall experience with a scribe. Process for
appointment, eligibility, coordination during the exam etc.?

[AI] Making education more inclusive for people with blindness: Learning from CFA Institute

2018-09-01 Thread Dinesh Kaushal
Dear All,

 

I have written an article about my experience with CFA institute's practice
regarding the accessibility of course curriculum. I hope our institutes
could learn a lot from CFA institute about how an accessible course material
empowers people experiencing disabilities.

 

We could also learn a lot from CFA institute about conducting exams for
people experiencing disabilities. For example, CFA institute asked one of my
scribe to fly from Mumbai and made the scribes to stay in a hotel to avoid
any delay as exam starts at 6:30 AM. The exam is for nearly 13 hours due to
extra time. This is also something our institutes could learn from
international experience. All my calculations suggest that CFA institute
would have spent more than what they would have charged me for the
examination fee. Ajay Manocha is also appearing for the same exam so he can
attest what I am suggesting. The following article is about the curriculum
only.

 


Making education more inclusive for people with blindness: Learning from CFA
Institute


 

https://dineshkaushal.blogspot.com/2018/08/making-education-more-inclusive-f
or.html

 

In August 2018, I got the news that I have passed Chartered Financial
Analyst (CFA) Level III exam. CFA is a very rigorous program consisting of 3
very intense exams. The content for these exams is heavily quantitative. It
could be even more tough for a person with blindness as a blind person has
to get the curriculum material converted in a suitable format. But CFA
institute made the content accessible by making curriculum available online
and equations in math ML format. Yes, you guessed it right, I am a person
with blindness myself.

 

To understand what I just said, it is important to know some background.
Technology has made a huge difference for people with blindness. There is a
special software that reads out information in computer or mobile devices.
This software is known as screen reader. You can see these screen readers in
mobile phones as Talkback in Android or Voiceover in iPhone. This technology
is somewhat similar to a navigation system that informs the upcoming route.

 

Before screen readers, blind persons had to depend on one to one help such
as a family member or  friend who would either read the books or record
them. Some organizations working for people with blindness would record
commonly used material. But such material would be only available for
subjects that are studied widely, that too with great difficulty. Some
organizations would also convert books in Braille, but since this is a
laborious process, only limited books have been available and they are
bulky.

 

Due to modern technology, blind persons can read electronic content, but not
any content. A content has to be made available in a proper format. This
format is known as e-Pub which is becoming more and more popular among
publishers. But just making books available in e-pub may not solve the
problem. For example, Some publishers might put images in the e-pub, but
images are not readable through screen readers. In order to make it
accessible, the material needs to be in plain text or HTML. For technical
subjects that have equations such as mathematics and other math based
subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering, or finance), a standard known as
math ML should be used to specify equations. Math ML can be embedded in
e-pub books.

 

The traditional methods such as recording or Braille books were not
scalable, so very few people could benefit from them. The few lucky once
were those who had support of a family or an organization. But if we make
mainstream course material more accessible just as CFA institute did, we
would be able to make many people with blindness independent. This does not
mean that such material would only be available for someone with a screen
reader only. The same accessible content would be readable through Braille
using a special device known as Braille display which converts print to
Braille instantly without requiring huge infrastructure. People can also use
Braille printer to create Braille books from e-pub books.

 

With earlier methods, I often struggled to get material. Whereas with CFA
material I didn't need any help as content was properly formatted in text,
and  All the equations were also formatted in math ML. The only help I
needed was for understanding diagrams. It was easy to find a solution Even
for this, I could print them and request anyone without any financial
knowledge to trace the diagram with simple board and pen. This would raise
the diagram in reverse and I could understand them. For this, I needed
someone's help only for a percent or 2 of the time.

 

Needless to say, CFA institute has shown a way forward for the empowerment
of persons with disabilities through accessible course material. I wish
other institutes could learn from CFA institute and become more inclusive.

Re: [AI] Scribe guidelines

2018-06-27 Thread Dinesh Kaushal
Hi all,

Many of the problems such as finding a suitable writer at the last minute due 
to unsuitability or health issues could be solved if the examination system is 
a bit flexible. Accommodating people with various needs is not easy so 
examining bodies could consider second chance in a few days.

Many international examining bodies allow you to retake the exam if due to 
unavoidable circumstances your exam could not be completed on the set date. 
They also provide religious alternative dates for candidates who cannot appear 
on the set date. I am using religious alternative date as an example of being 
flexible.

Many of you already know, examination bodies such ETS or GMAC also provide 50 
to 100 percent extra time for Toefl/GRE / GMAT.

Unfortunately even GMAT or GRE are not yet accessible via computer though they 
allow the candidates to write the descriptive parts using screen readers. I 
understand that there could be problems regarding diagrams, special symbols 
etc. many of the suggestions put forward are visionary in nature but we need to 
go by what is already available.

These bodies have a lot of discretion about whom they allow as a scribe. It is 
their mandate to provide a suitable scribe, but if you request, they do allow 
your own candidate and they record your session to check for any malpractice. 
Many of Indian examining bodies would say that they do not have resources to 
record sessions. But it is their responsibility to provide support for 
candidates as well as ensure that the integrity of the exam is not compromised.

Additional note: One way to make math related content accessible could be a 
MathML based course material as well as the examination, but that too will not 
solve diagram issues. So in near future we would have to depend on human 
scribes. I think UPSC should establish disability support services similar to 
what Pune University already has. If such a service gets established, UPSC 
could make incremental modifications every year.

George,
I think it was used to illustrate the scenario. Well, firstly PhD candidate 
shouldn't be applying to compete for a clerk post. Overall point is if scribe 
qualification is slightly less than what the job is needed should be enough. If 
at all that less qualification is a mandate.

Re: [AI] Narrator as a screen reader come of age

2018-06-14 Thread Dinesh Kaushal
I agree that training organizations could look at providing some orientation 
about Narrator.

One of my recent experience is illustrative.

My laptop crashed a couple of times due to faulty hard disk and I had to take 
data out of my system. Since my windows was not starting, I could not operate 
my laptop independently. I then found out that windows 10 has a feature known 
as windows to go. Windows to go prepares a flash drive for bootable installer, 
and Using another software I could create a bootable flash drive. Once my 
laptop booted from the flash drive, I could operate my  machine independently 
with the help of narrator. Unfortunately, windows to go has some restrictions 
so one can only install apps that are downloaded from windows store which means 
I could not install NVDA. This problem would be solved once NVDA is available 
from the windows store, but it takes some time and assistance to download 
software from the windows store. On the other hand, starting narrator is only 
pressing a few keystrokes.

If someone has such a bootable drive with them, he or she could operate on any 
computer.

I also agree with having multiple options for screen readers as multiple 
options encourage competition which helps the products to improve.

At the same time, I think narrator still has a long way to go before it could 
become a full time screen reader as mentioned by Prashant.

Subject: Re: [AI] Narrator as a screen reader come of age

Hi All, 
Great to see this dialogue on screen readers and what do we teach and what do 
we use. 

Here is my two bits and I won't go to the point of saying teach one or another: 
- We need to ensure that students have an early initiation to Screen Readers. 
They should be able to access technology as early as their peers. What we have 
to teach is the concepts of the screen reader! For example, what is a desktop, 
what is a start button, how does it behave, what is a page, how can we use the 
calculator. At that stage, even a Narrator is great as exposure. Let's 
understand that Narrator is getting better. It is already in the operating 
system, it has no additional cost. I honestly believe it is the right step at 
schools. 

- As the needs of the person increase on what they have to do, then the choice 
of screen reader is based on what they want to do with it. If the usage is for 
Excel and at that point NVDA or JAWS is better for their work, that choice 
should be theirs and based on the use case. 

I think instead of worrying of which is the right screen reader, we need to see 
how to make screen readers that important tool early on in students lives. 

After teaching loads of people computers and hiring lots of people with 
disabilities, we need people to be agile in their use of technology. In 
technology, you have to be able to adapt. 

I hear Vasu, when he says reasonable accommodation. But I also know that as 
organizations we decide what technology a person will use. That is the reality. 
You find some people say we use a particular software as an organization, must 
be as simple as Skype for Business and another might say we use Zoom for the 
same purpose of online conferencing. 
We need to be ready to explore different solutions.

Regards
Shilpi

Here is a link to Keyboard commands of Narrator:

Harish, I respectfully disagree to the point if organizations have
restrictions to downloads applications such as NVDA; that's a reasonable
accommodation and organizations cannot deny. Until Narrator comes to a
decent level where we can use on usual applications like excel etc.,  I
would not prefer providing this as an otpion to use at organizations.

To what extent can a child go to see a parent happy is a problem that has
baffled investigating agencies as well as senior Delhi High Court and
Supreme Court judges.

A Delhi-based 14-year-old-boy is being investigated for forging Supreme
Court and Delhi High Court orders in favour of his blind father after the
man lost a legal battle against his employers.

The child also created a fake apex court website and uploaded the forged
documents on it.

The teenager went a step ahead and impersonated senior Supreme Court judges
and their staffers to ensure that the fake order copy was also implemented
in a bid to restore his father's reputation.

According to his statement to the police, the child mentioned how his
father, who worked as assistant professor in a college, had filed several
complaints against the principal and the management alleging irregularities,
but no action was taken.

"We even went up to the Supreme Court but the case was dismissed. My father
got really tense and depressed after losing the case. On his instructions, I
had helped him draft the petition on the laptop and even given him updates
from the court website.

After it was dismissed, we came up with the idea of creating a fake Supreme
Court website and uploaded the order that we forged in our favour," said the
minor's statement.

According to the police, the child uploaded the order on social media and
even sent it to his father's acquaintances on messaging apps to make the
actions appear official.

The child is suspected to have functioned under his father's supervision.

At first, the order copy was sent to the chief metropolitan magistrate of a
district court, seeking compliance. With no response, the duo decided to try
this on the Delhi High Court.

"Posing as chief justice, he sent the order copy to one of the senior High
Court judges seeking compliance of the forged order. They were later called
to file a fresh petition before the court," said police sources The boy also
managed to create a fake Supreme Court seal to give documents a genuine
look.

The day the matter came up for hearing in the High Court, the judge was
shocked to learn that the order copy and other documents being produced were
fake and no such favourable order was ever passed.

The police registered a case under charges of criminal conspiracy, and
forging an authoritative document for the purpose of cheating and using it
as a genuine one.

Officials said the child had sent the e-mails from a cyber cafe and also
shopped for material to create a fake Supreme Court seal from a stationery
shop in the Khan Market.

The juvenile was apprehended in December last year. While the father is
lodged in Tihar Central Jail, the minor was granted bail following an
undertaking.
However, after reaching home, the boy yet again impersonated a senior
Supreme Court judge and sent mails to lower court judges to quash the FIR
and grant bail.

The teen even created a fake email ID of the investigating officer in this
case and sent a mail to his school principal, seeking rustication. In a
fresh application to the court, the investigating officer in the case has
sought that the minor be kept in the observation home and mentioned that he
needs long-term counselling.

I am not sure if requesting the moderator to change his decision is a good
idea, but I think this discussion is only starting. We could let it go on as
we might get better idea about how we could be represented in the media.

We could however decouple  our discussion away from Ashish's interview and
take more general approach as suggested by Shireen.

Agree with you George Sir, but if any media person tries to take a wrong
approach in the interview, shouldn't we tell him this there itself?
Since Ashish did not have a problem, therefore we need to respect this
interview. And its not poor journalism at all in my opinion.
There are many approaches towards disability, and we need to respect them
equally.

Yes, I had observed earlier that he used to do extensive research before

Which means he didn't do his homework before interviewing Ashish. This

You are right that we should not tell Ashish how he should represent his 
situation.

But we can certainly discuss among ourselves how we want to be represented and 
whether we could do anything to change that. Anyone of us who have any 
experience regarding media, know that often we do not have much control about 
how we want to be represented.

We can also discuss what things we want to represent, but each individual has 
full right how they want to be represented.

Having said that, there are also some reasons why it would help everyone if we 
could dimistify why we achieved what we did. Actually the point of such 
interviews is not that we just praise people, we should also learn how they did 
what they did. So I can only request everyone that please acknowledge role of

Not acknowledging role of assistive technology is equivalent for a scientist

Well, I completely disagree with this.
If Ashish doesn't find anything wrong in the way his interview was conducted, 
then who are we to impose our viewpoint on him?
Its high time that we stop poking our noses unnecessarily in every affair.

Re: [AI] Deification of the disabled in the media

2018-01-28 Thread Dinesh Kaushal
Thanks for starting conversation on an important topic.

The way media houses distort and push people around is well-known. I think
that Arnab Goswami would not have allowed Ashish to say what he might have
wanted to say.

It was evident from the way Arnab constantly kept saying that I want people
to get inspired. So he might have not allowed him to talk about role of
assistive technology. The reason that Arnab might have not allowed that
description is that the fact that technology could help people with
blindness would not make him look so super human.

Even then, I feel that we have missed a great opportunity to bring awareness
about how assistive technology could help millions. As Rahul said, This
instance highlights that we should not help in perpetuating these harmful
stereotypes. I also suggest that we need to be vigilant about our
responsibility of making people aware about how technology has made so many
things possible. Granted that it has become part of our lives so much that
we may not realize that for people who have no exposure to these
technologies, this could be the difference in making us look super human vs
people using specialized tool that anyone could learn.

For those who might want to be seen as amazing people, even though when we
show people how technology helps us to do regular stuff, people think we are
so inspirational!

Subject: [AI] Deification of the disabled in the media

Hi everyone,

I hope this message finds you well. I recently came across Ashish Goyal's
interview to Arnab Goswami on Republic TV that was conducted on Republic
Day:
http://www.republicworld.com/s/20590/meet-the-first-visually-impaired-person
-to-attend-wharton-business-school 

At the outset, I think what Mr. Goyal has achieved is truly commendable and
worthy of appreciation. Despite the odds being heavily stacked against him,
he has overcome challenges that most would have considered insurmountable.
However, I was somewhat troubled by the manner in which Mr. Goswami sought
to construct his narrative. More specifically, he called Mr. Goyal an
inspiration multiple times and framed his questions in such a way that they
made Mr. Goyal appear superhuman. For instance, the interviewers considered
him an expert on overcoming obstacles as a student merely on the ground that
he has been able to accomplish so much despite his disability. This got me
thinking about whether the deification of the disabled in this fashion is a
healthy phenomenon. Doesn't it help perpetuate their otherization and
alienation which we work so hard to break down? Also, I wonder if we, as
disabled interviewees, have an obligation to actively engage with
interviewers to ensure that we are not helping perpetuate these harmful
stereotypes.

To be clear, I don't have anything against Mr. Goyal personally. Indeed, I
confess to being all too willing to be made the subject matter of news
stories like these. I do think that such stories serve the valuable purpose
of driving home the point that, with access to opportunities and resources,
there is nothing that the disabled cannot achieve. However, at the same
time, I am wondering if this object can be attained without  us being
complicit in reinforcing harmful stereotypes.

Best,
Rahul

Re: [AI] ICICI bank - accessibility issues

2018-01-24 Thread Dinesh Kaushal
Hi Geetha,

Look for the hyperlink "fund transfers" and once you open it, you would find
buttons to transfer or add payees.

If this hyperlink is not working then there would be some message from icici
that you need to either dismiss or do what it wants. For example if ICICI
wants you to add Aadhar information then it would provide you an option to
either select update or Later. If you select later, then the hyperlinks
would become active.

There is a menu on the top of most of the pages in icici which requires
mouse click to open them. In NVDA you could route mouse to focus with NVDA +
shift + m followed by left mouse click with NVDA + [.

This menu has most of the important options such as account details,
investments, ETC.

Hi all,

I recently switched from Citibank to ICICI, and am having a few teething

My problems relate to not being able to find the option to add new payees

Would greatly appreciate it if anyone here who has been with ICICI for a

English and Hindi but sometimes second option (which is Hindi) may not be

Once you select Hindi, press space and NVDA will say expanded. After tabbing

Re: [AI] Learning how to call people out for ableism in a graceful fashion

2018-01-05 Thread Dinesh Kaushal

As I mentioned, the senior was not called for reading the document; they
were called for picking out which document had to be notarized.


That is even more simpler! But I would assume that I don't know your
situation exactly, but as much as I know, in such a situation I would have
used KNFB reader. Anyways, the topic is whether it is discrimination.

I agree with Shireen on this.


P.S. Every squabble also need not become a disability issue. He may have
said the same thing to any1 else who sent an office boy to summon him, given
his self-perceived position.


Before thinking that is it due to disability, we could ask ourselves whether
it could be due to other reasons. Taking responsibility of our own situation
goes a long way. There is a thin line between entitlement thinking and
reasonable accommodation.

Thank you, Dinesh and Shirin. Dinesh, with great respect, I do wish you had

the senior was not called for reading the document; they were called for
picking out which document had to be notarized. There were essentially a
bunch of hard copy documents, one of which was an affidavit. We had to
identify which was the affidavit and send it ahead. I was working with said
superior on this project.

Second, the documents were on my desk, so he naturally had to come there.
Further, when he called me, I sought his instructions and then sent the
office boy with these documents to his desk. In other words, he did not come

Third, given the mobility restrictions that flow from blindness, how is it
unreasonable to expect the other person to do the walking and not you.

In that case, instead of sending the office boy, you could visit him and
explain as Pranav highlighted.

I am sorry I don't agree with mobility restriction argument due to
disability. Many of us can navigate around for our office, shopping, and
even for movies, then mobility within office should not be difficult. If you
make mobility as an excuse would you say no if your office posts you in an
advance country where you are supposed to navigate on your own? Yes, I have
seen many blind persons not moving on their own with in office premise, but
I find those people lacking in skill rather than basic limitation due to
disability.

Well, others would agree if you say that you cannot go to someone's place
due to your disability as they don't know the difference between what you
can or cannot do due to disability or skill. But next time they would use
that as an argument against people with disabilities.

I am not alone, but I can share only my example to highlight the point. I
have been navigating in an office premise which had 6 to 7 buildings. In
that office other persons with blindness sought assistance to move around.
It is great that your office provides assistance, but I would urge that
instead of relying on assistance to move around, seek assistance to know the
place and start moving independently.

Well, reasonable accommodation means that you are provided tools to help
read documents, but asking 
people to read out the documents for you may not qualify as reasonable
accommodations, on top of this, calling someone to your desk for this can
rubbed them the wrong way.

I wonder why you are not using OCR to read the documents? In case a document
cannot be read by an OCR, then you could request a junior to do so. Asking a
senior to read a document is asking for a favor not reasonable
accommodation.

Hi Everyone,

I hope this message finds you well. At my workplace, which is a law firm, I
recently confronted a situation which I think I could have dealt with in a
more graceful way.

One of my superiors, who is not the nicest person to put it mildly,
displayed blatant ableism and unacceptable conduct. We had to get a hard
copy document notarized for filing purposes. Now, when I asked the office
boy to request this superior to come to my desk and help me in picking out
the documents that had to be notarized, as the documents were at my desk, he
called me and said, his voice dripping with condescension, "Tell me, sir,
what can I do for you?"

Now, I am generally known to have a calm temperament and strive to be
unfailingly polite to everyone. However, his response really rubbed me the
wrong way, to put it mildly. Later, when he came to talk to me and sensed by
my facial reaction that I was not happy with him, he asked me what the issue
was. I told him, admittedly in a very combative and aggressive way, that his
behavior was unacceptable. What he was doing for me was only a reasonable
accommodation which he was mandated to provide. He was not doing me a
favour, and it was wrong for him to think that I was ordering him to do
something for him. I said this in a way angry and hurt way, as I don't think
it is acceptable for anyone to behave in this fashion.

I am wondering, in hindsight, if my response was proportionate to his
behavior or if I should have reacted in a more graceful fashion. I know that
many disabled people face thousands of silent indignities and don't complain
about them, because, well, it can jeopardize their career, they have far
more pressing concerns and this is just how the world is. But aren't we
bound to call people out for ableism, even if it is uncomfortable?

Best,
Rahul

Re: [AI] Cursor navigation in NVDA : quick navigation command.

2018-01-05 Thread Dinesh Kaushal
There are 3 main cursor navigation modes in NVDA.

Regular cursor navigation can be done with arrow keys along with various
modification keys such as control and shift. These are actually not NVDA
commands but these are standard windows commands.

Review cursor navigation: this helps to read information without changing
the system focus. This is done by adding NVDA key to standard navigation
commands. This would come handy where system focus would not go such as
command prompt. So going to previous line can be done with NVDA key plus up
arrow key. Review cursor is somewhat like jaws cursor with the difference
that in jaws once you switch to jaws cursor regular keys behave differently
whereas in NVDA you need to hold the NVDA key to navigate in the review
cursor.

Object Navigation: this can be done by adding NVDA + shift to arrow keys.
Object navigation helps to navigate in an hierarchical way. For example by
pressing NVDA plus Shift plus up arrow key you could eventually reach the
desktop. This comes handy when you can't find some objects via regular
navigation method such as check boxes for list items on windows 10 lists.


Browse mode and focus mode are specific for web browsers and office
applications. You could use NVDA + space to switch between those modes.

Subject: Re: [AI] Scribe guidelines urgent


See the opinion of some stake holders. I had started answering these but got
foxed with NIVH -our apex body. 
Now what to do friends when we have to face ourselves. 

1.  SSC
Candidate allowed to bring their own scribe can misuse this facility which
could adversely impact the transparency and integrity of the examination. It
also has the potential to disrupt the level playing field for other
candidates in this category who accept the scribe provided by the
Commission. i. Moreover the propensity for allegations/complaints of unfair
practises could also be high. 
Kp Supervision which is the responsibility of the Examining Authority

2.  CBSE
Scribe should not have obtained qualification in same subject in which the
candidate is appearing for the examination and should be one class lower
than the candidate 
3.  National Trust 
Scribe/reader/lab Assistant should be qualified according to the need of the
examination and should be conversant with the language of the examination.
He should not be overqualified as he may unduly assist the PwD/candidate.
KP Ok   
4.   IPH 
Whenever possible the PwD should have the same scribe for written
assessments as they had for other classroom tests. In all cases, the scribe
must have an understating of how to record responses using procedures
described and familiar with the test including knowledge of vocabulary used
in the test.
Scribe should not be in blood relation with the Pwds KP cannot have the same
scribe Scribe should not be in blood relation to the candidate Kp OK NIVH
NIHH left open to the examining bodies In case of graduate level examination
the scribe can be a graduate from a different stream In case of Master Level
Examination the scribe cab be from a different
discipline than that of the candidate. A   graduate level  scribe from the
same discipline can be allowed for aMaster level examination in such a case
the percentage of marks of graduate level scribe should be more than 60% For
entrance and school tests involving basic qualification of candidate upto
12th std the qualification of the scribe should be one step lower than that
of the candidate. For example 12th class candidate may be allowed an 11th
class with not more than 70% marks. In case the candidate chooses a scribe
10th class pass then there should be no restriction on percentage of marks.

CCPD
The Para IV provides option to the candidate for opting their own scribe or
request the examination body for the same. Both the option are relevant.
However keeping in view the gravity of the examination candidate's own
scribe should not be his/her close relative such as parents siblings etc The
Qualification of the scribe mustbe lower than the candidate however scribe
frim the same subject area may be allowed provided having lower
qualification Guidelines should clearly mention that parents and close
relatives will not be allowed as scribe. 
  
Close relative OK

V 1. SSC
Scribe provided by the commission has adequate educational level The overall
conduct of examination is done under proper invigilation/supervision to
check malpractices 

2. CBSC
Scribe should not have obtained his/her qualification in same subject in
which the candidate is appearing for the examination and he /she should be
one class lower than the candidate

3. National Trust
Scribe/reader/lab assistant should be qualified according to the need of the
examination and should be conversant with the language of the examination he
Should not be overqualified as he may unduly assist the Pwd/candidate 

4.IPH
Scribe should ne from an academic discipline different from that post of
written exam] Invigilator should be trained and ensure that scribe remains
impartial and should not be any way influence the student performance on the
test

5.  CCPD
The education qualification must be decided as lower than that of candidate
The criteria for scribe should be separate for school/college or other
academic examination and competitive examination

Vamshi Said: I think it is unfair towards a child to have him/her disabled if 
parents unilaterally feel that bringing up a disabled child is normal.

Dinesh: so is disability greater than life? We are not asking to make someone 
disabled, but disability could be part of the person. I don't like the idea if 
my parents would have aborted me if they could determine that I could be blind. 
And my siblings would also not have born if my parents were at risk of having

There are genetic centres like LVP, Hyderabad and SN, Chennai etc.
that can advise on the children getting the disability.  This is
something very important and should not be ignored by parents.  Though
I accept that a blind parent is more familiar about methods required
to bring up a blind child, there are certain issues where children
need support which can not be provided by that parent.  More
importantly, I think it is unfair towards a child to have him/her
disabled if parents unilaterally feel that bringing up a disabled
child is normal.

I just realized we might be going beyond list guidelines, so this will be my 
last post on this issue.

Saying that independence is not an issue for blind persons may not be true. 
Many people are actually not independent though they may be going to office 
etc. I think even parents would not be consciously thinking that they might 
have to do extra work, but they might be thinking that someone will come and 
they will no longer have to worry about their child. I am not sure, but parents 
of blind girls would be worried about the safety of their daughter as well. And 
this things may or may not be correct, but I feel lack of independence would be 
a big contributor in the belief system.

And if you ask, they may not be able to articulate it, but their actions would 
reveal that.

Cooking & independent living happens to be no issue for blind couples today.  
Mostly blind women manage cusines & even if one does not, I understand, no 
house goes without engaging a house help in normal households too, be it paid 
one or any needy person in your family circle/relations today.

As far being independent in marriages between a blind & sighted one for being 
independent, I feel it is more a myth not a reality.  Definitely one cannot 
move about places with his/her espouse in each case, each time including moving 
to work places for advantages of having a sighted partner.  

Besides, we are well placed & can mostly manage affording a car for which 
everybody needs a driving assistant, raises your standard & lesser concerns to 
family dependence.  

I also would definitely state here: the families cannot chuch their duties as 
brothers, sisters, parents whatsoever, if they consider the blind newcomer in 
their family as cumbursome commodity needing help for every household chores or

for food, health & entertainment.

One should not forget the intrinsic natural colisions in marriages on 2

Well, independent living skills and attitudes are interrelated.

Family members would be opposed due to 2 factors. 1. Due to genuine concern 
that whether a couple with same disability would be able to manage or not. 2. 
Due to another valid concern that a disabled couple might start depending on 
them for their daily needs.

Unless people with disabilities become independent, they cannot hope to be able 
to make decisions for their life. Well, there is another problem which I cannot 
address here, that Indian parents often do not allow their children to make 
their decision anyways.

The most important skill is mobility skill. For example, it is not blindness 
that prevents blind persons to be able to independently move around, but it is 
lack of training in mobility and orientation skills. During my student life, my 
parents didn't allow me to travel alone, but that limited my skill development 
in independent living. Once I realized it is not going to work out, I had to 
insist that I will travel alone. If I didn't take that step, later my parents 
would have thought that I would not able to manage on my own. I have seen too 
many examples of blind persons depending on others for mobility. It is ok to 
ask for directions or assistance for new places, but if you need assistance for 
the same place for years or months, then you need to think whether you have 
made enough effort to become independent. It is important to note that we often 
ask what society does for us without pausing to reflect how much we limit 
ourselves without challenging our own limitations. While I am o
 n the topic of independent mobility I would also caution reckless behavior. 
For example trying to cross a busy road might not be a wise idea. Often I had 
to wait for 10 or 15 minutes near my college as the traffic was too heavy.
 
Another very important skill is how to seek help. For new places, you cannot 
always go with someone whom you trust. So it is important that you feel ok to 
ask for help. It is also important to have confidence that you will manage when 
you face the problem. I remember when I started to travel independently, I 
tried to think all possible problems that I would face. But this paralyzed me 
and I would avoid to go out. but when I decided to take things as they come, I 
felt easy to start and after solving some challenges I got more confidence that 
I can travel alone.

I still face challenges, but they are no longer a significant one to prevent me 
in dealing with daily life issues.

I can't say too much about cooking as my skills are limited to heating up food 
and occasionally making things such as Maggie. But I know my friends Payal 
Kapoor, Veena  Mehta and Pranay Gadodia, and my wife Madhu Bala Sharma who are 
able to cook as good as any sighted person. So I can conclude that cooking is 
not a problem of blindness, though  it could be a good excuse if you don't want 
to do it.

If you can afford, cooking can also be managed by hiring someone to do it for 
you.

At the end if you can demonstrate that you can manage with or without paid or 
unpaid help, your family members would trust you. While we are on the issue of 
help, remember you need to have broad set of people whom you can depend for 
help. Like you, everyone else also has their own life so  don't expect people 
to help you all the time. 

At the end, action speaks louder than words, so if you can demonstrate that you 
can live independently, you have better chance of convincing your parents.

Realistic solutions aminate from experience. Families will have to be
convinced to accept the couple and things will be normal within weeks
and months. One could take their parants to one's friends who are apt
at living independently and cooking with their families. Remember, not
only disability but caste, region and religion are still major
barriers which cause tsunami in the love-life of consenting couples.
Normally, No parants of blind people want them to marry a blind
girl/boy, but we will have to convince them if we desire. Tensions
might occur but things get settled as we choose the path. Parants
should be convinced that its me who is gonna spend life with my

Significance of sound and smell has been highlighted time and again, often 
unrealistically, in society as a sixth sense.
It is also subjective and individual differences prevail.
We have to rely exclusively on non-visual stimuli, but capacities do differ 
here also, and let them not assume that we all are super sharp in this.
However, it is a tragedy, for sighted that they care a damn about non-visual 
stimuli.
Maybe, vision is too much dynamic for them to make them realize importance of 
non-visual world.

smell differs and we can easily identify the items. and from cycle to

While I agree that the budget allocation seems really low, there is a flaw in 
the argument.
In first statement the writer says that allocation is .0039 percent of GDP, and 
in the second statement the writer says it is only .0039 percent of the budget. 
Note: these are not same. budget is around 1/6th of the GDP.

Considering estimated GDP for next year would be around 121 lakh crore, and 
assuming budget for disabilities is .0039 percent of the GDP, the allocation 
should be around 471  crores.

So percentages don't help, we need to know the exact amount. I suspect many of 
these expenses would be allocated to various departments for accessibility 
implementation.

Subject: [AI] Budget 2017: Where is the Money to Implement the Disabilities Act?

Despite having passed the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act in
2016, the Budget allocated only about 0.0039% of the GDP for the
differently abled.
The Budget this year has hardly set aside any money for the rights of
persons with disability. The Budget this year has hardly set aside any
money for the rights of persons with disability.
Persons with disabilities and their families had many hopes resting on
the Budget speech. After all, the prime minister himself had made it
quite clear
that he held this sector close to his heart –
rechristening them divyang
 and even spending his birthday
distributing aids and appliances
 to them. The Sugamya Bharat Abhiyaan (Accessible India Campaign),
launched in 2015,
was said to be another highlight of this commitment. And finally,
with the passage
 of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Bill – which brought the
ruling party and the opposition together ostensibly for the betterment
of the sector
– people with disabilities were led to believe that their lives would
change for the better.

Instead, all that the sector got were some references in opening lines
of the Budget speech regarding the ‘poor and underprivileged’ sections
of society
– “Sabka saath sabka vikas (everyone together, everyone progressing).
Despite the government’s efforts, they still left this significant
population behind.

The only mention this sector finds is in the reference to making of
500 railway stations ‘differently abled friendly by providing lifts
and escalators’.
The
Accessible India Campaign,
however, had already taken up this task. Accessibility is much beyond
merely lifts and escalators – the latter not being helpful for most
persons with
disabilities. Specifically, targets were set to ensure that A1 and A
and B category railway stations are converted into fully accessible
railway stations
by July 2016, and 50% of all railway stations ought to be converted
into fully accessible ones by March 2018.

In fact, the funding for this does not fall within the railway budget
– the Rs 193 crores which
were claimed
 to be ‘exclusively’ for the Accessible India Campaign is budgeted
expenditure for 2016-17 under the existing
Scheme for Implementation of the Persons with Disabilities Act
 (SIPDA), which is available for any entity obliged to make their
infrastructure accessible under the Act. As pointed out in an
analysis
 by the Equals Centre for Promotion of Social Justice, allocating this
fund to the Accessible India Campaign is retrogressive as it limits
the government
efforts towards providing accessibility to infrastructure and services
in a limited number of cities, particularly considering that 69.5% of
the disabled
population reside in rural areas. Also, lest we forget, without
rolling stock that is universally designed, persons with disabilities
aren’t going to go
very far. There is no mention of this, nor is there any report on the
commitment of the previous year’s railway budget promise of ‘
divyang friendly toilets
‘ at railway stations.

The
demand for grants
 by the Department for the Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities
has shown a 9% increase, with most of the expenditure allotted for
institutions old
and new; only 41% of the expenditure will actually go into demand

follow the voice of the other person and also you should measure the hole

Your situation I know is different but 
I lost sight late in life. Lots of old friends did not realise that I had
become blind because for one reason or another I had not met them during the
transition from sight to blindness. Some of them would suddenly come up to
me and I would look through them. Only when I heard their voice, would I
react. I lost one friend but others stayed with me. When this one individual
came up to me and said hi I ignored him because  I could not recognise his
voice, he was very upset and  actually told his friend that he knew me and
he wasn't trying to make a new acquaintance and was surprised that I had
given him such a cold reception.  Before I could explain he walked off.
That's when I thought to myself- do I require to wear a signboard on my back

dear friend, as there will be no time to ask and to respond with them.
another thing is that the tendency of passenger will be in complaint nature
this is universal.  i am not talking about all passengers but few will argue
why blind was posted here.  in my counter actually platform ticket has to be
issued but i was exempted from this duty.
people will stand infront of me they think that they are watching by me but
i cannot see them i will be silent after a while he/she will ask platform
ticket when i tell them that the tickets will be issued on next counter they
will get angry and shout on me.  they do not listen a single word.  to avoid
this type of bitter taste i think so that sign boards are essential.  please
correct me dear friends.

Hi friends, this is Lokesh from dating groups from Bangalore. Now, i

dont hesitate to read please and tell me about your thoughts and views
regarding dating and other relationships. Actually, in this world, we
kind of people are simply suppressing or hiding our feelings and
freedom because due to our disability. In this society, lots of
non-disable people are enjoying their life with lots of fun and
others, but we are not ready to do so why?? Due to our disability,
we are lacking our pleasure and happiness. Please think once friends,
why shouldn't we enjoy our life with lots of fun and pleasure so
please come out from your sadness and feeling depression in your life.
Friends, dating means may be you people are thinking about dating
means bad in Indian culture. Actually, this is true friendship in
life. Dating means not only for marriage purpose. Here, we can get
lots of different people for different views and opinions. Actually,
you people are thinking dating is only menti for physical contact, but
not like this. after joining dating groups means we can get friends
for sharing our sorrow, happiness, love towards others, sharing our
knowledge to others, care taking ness, coping skills, how to deal with
different people in the society, how to be calm, how to live in peace,
and others. So think it once friends. Actually, in our community, lots
of highly educated girls/ladies are here.  They are working in a
different sectors, but they are all not enjoying their life with full
happiness in life with their work.  Actually, girls/ladies are also
human beings so they also needs some change in the life. Daily going
to the work and coming back to the home is this only in life girls
Girls you are all may be thinking dating is very bad because it may
affect to your life!!!  But this is not like this friends. Here if you
come to the dating groups you may feel oh how nice this is. Because
you people may get some solutions for your problems. In Dating, you
may get your best friend in your life for sharing your whole ideas, or
you may get ears to listen your inner feelings, or eyes to see your
beauty, or hands to hold you.  You wont share somethings to your
parents due to some problems, but here you can get your best friend to

disables because they are hesitating to mix with disables due to
feeling how they will think. Actually, some sighted people are
thinking about VI and other disable girls/ladies are not ready to do
any kind of timepass things or other things in life because sighted
people thinks that we kind of people may think sighted people may do
wrong towards us. Actually, while coming to dating groups, we are all

[AI] RPD Bill with amendments applied for SKILL DEVELOPMENT AND EMPLOYMENT

2016-12-14 Thread Dinesh Kaushal
I have tried to apply suggested amendments for the 2014 bill only For chapter 
IV SKILL DEVELOPMENT AND EMPLOYMENT. 

What I understand is some of the rules do not apply for private establishments. 
So Non-discrimination in employment (section 19) and Appointment of Grievance 
Redressal Officer (section 22) seems to be only for government establishments 
and Equal opportunity policy (section 20) and Maintenance of records (section 
21) applies for government and private establishments. This also seems to 
indicate that private establishments should have equal opportunity policy 
similar to the section 19, but it seems government is not yet ready to enforce 
that.

This copy is not for anyone's reference, it is only for better clarity until we 
get the real copy. I have tried to apply the amendments from OCR copy in which 
there are suggestions to modify various line numbers. These line numbers are 
best of my guesses. I hope government could switch to tracking method found in 
word processors!

2. Definitions

[AI] Accessible copy of RPD Bill

2016-12-14 Thread Dinesh Kaushal
I have been trying to figure out what is there in the bill. I looked at the
2014 bill in pdf, but that is not accessible. By accessible I mean the
sequence of text is not in the right order. 

For someone that could be considered accessible, but it is not as it
confuses at many places. For example various section titles are readable at
one place then you read section numbers where the section text is available.


Can anyone point me to the properly accessible copy?

It is interesting to read that the bill provides for making information
accessible, and many government offices would try to follow it, but I don't
know who would be the competent authority to validate it? there is a huge
learning curve to figure out all the nuances of properly accessible content.

Good Vamshi,
Though Marrying someone by choice should always be respected as the
right of an individual yet marrying a deity, and that too, by a
disabled woman is something quite different. It really needs to be
pondered seriously. Let alone the question of disability, a girl can
marry Lord Krishna or Shiva or anyone but have we ever heard a male
marrying a Goddess? Religion shaping masculinity/femininity and
disability should be looked upon as a sociological and psychological
thing. These are my instant reactions; if anything comes to my mind
then I will keep following the thread.
Cheers
Naresh

Hey Dinu,

There is no restriction on buying 2 wheeler. We can surely buy and you no
need to do anything as an extra care. However, beware from agents if you're
transferring the vehicle which you have already. Agents ask lot of money for
this which is not required at all. Just fill form online and follow the
process.

I want to know if a visually impaired person is permited to purchase a 2

Or are there any ristrictions?

Are there any factors that a visually impaired person should keep in mind

Please guide.

Hi all,
Just wanted to let you know that a mainstream product HEALTHSENSE PS 121  is
a good option for a talking weighing scale for the visually impaired. 
I have bought it online from Amazon and it is working properly.
It is listed on several online retailers at prices around Rs. 1000. At times
it goes out of stock. 

Just stand on it and it will tell your weight in a loud and clear voice.

Hi,

If you've followed the steps correctly, then Firefox should allow the
Webvisum Add-on to run. If not, then please provide the error message or
other such instructions if any. It might help me to have a detailed look at
the specific issue(s) that prevents you from using the add-on.

Please note that you need nothing to panic about the security vulnerability
caused by disabling that security feature. You are completely safe as long
as you do not install add-ons from untrusted sources. If you're uncertain
about any add-on or toolbar, Do not allow the installation of such stuffs
that come bundled with several third party applications. You might end up
installing such annoying applications if you keep on clicking "next" while
installing softwares without looking at the options to accept or reject the
optional components.

Hello!
The on-line concession ticket booking depends on 4 things. 1. Your unique
card number. 2. Your name as they have entered in there PRS system. 3. Your
date of birth. and 4. Expairy date of your card. All the things should be
correct. Then only your card will be validated.
Your unique number is not the 6 digits number. It is a alpha nummaric code
which contain your zone name and the city from which you made the card. For
example, I made my card from Pune which belongs to Central railway. So my
unique number starts with CRPUNE. Most important thing, we do not have to
enter 0 in that number. It has no vallue at all. We only have to enter all
the other number after zone name and city station code.
I hope that I have not confused you. If so, Plese get in touch with me on my

Hi,

There is an option to override this security setting. In order to do so, you
need to change that option through Firefox configuration editor. Please note
that you should only proceed with the following steps if you assure yourself
that you're not gonna make any unintended change/modification in the
configuration settings. Because accidental modification of the values of
these advanced settings can be harmful to the stability, security, and
performance of your browser. So, please do it at your own risk!
1. Type "about:config" without the quotes in your browser address bar.
2. Click on "I'll be careful, I promise" button.
3. Type "xpinstall" without the quotes in the search box.
4. Use the arrow keys to get the option called
"xpinstall.signatures.required".
5. Press the application key to bring up the context menu options.
6. Choose toggle from that menu and press enter. You would discover that the
value is set to "false" which was initially "true".
7. Restart Firefox in order for the changes to take effect.
8. After implementing the change in the configuration settings as suggested
above, You could enable Webvisum again.
You can repeat the steps above to revert back to your default settings. In
that case, click "toggle" or "reset" to set this value to "true".
Hope that helps.

[AI] New features added by NVDA India team for NVDA 2015.4

2015-11-26 Thread Dinesh Kaushal
Hi Access Indians,

 

As you know, The NVDA India team primarily works on requirements raised in
India. We are eager to hear from the users of NVDA about challenges that
they face while using NVDA. We prioritize the feature requests according to
number of requests for any features or its impact on employability and
education. Anything that will make NVDA work better with Indian languages is
also our top priority as these issues never get priority by  non-Indian
developers. Thus, if there are any issues that you would like to report,
please report them on NVDA issue tracker on github
https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues and forward the ticket number and
description to sumandog...@gmail.com

 

Sean Randall has written a nice blog on LinkedIn about the features: NVDASR
doesn't just have new features, it adds them beautifully
https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/nvdasr-doesnt-just-have-new-features-adds-the
m-sean-randall

 

A brief description of these features follows:

 

Support of protected excel sheets: in a protected sheet if a cell selection
is disabled, NVDA was not able to read the content in that cell. NVDA users
can now navigate to those cells using browse mode. During the browse mode,
NVDA would also announce whether a cell is unlocked so that users can press
enter to move the focus to that cell.

 

Listing and renaming of Microsoft Excel sheets: while working with large
number of sheets, users often need a way to list all the sheets. So we have
added an option to list sheets in elements list dialog. Users can also
change the name of sheets in this list with f2 command. This command is
added because NVDA was not working in the rename sheets dialog of excel.

 

Reporting input messages or tooltips in Microsoft Excel: NVDA now reads
special messages added in Excel cells known as input messages. These
messages help users to fill proper values for excel forms.

 

For details checkout the announcement for 2015.4 at
http://www.nvaccess.org/post/announcing-nvda-2015-4-release/

 

Also note, if it is the e-speak voice that is holding you back from
exploring NVDA, then you can acquire license for Eloquence, Lekha and
Sangita voices from Saksham.
