to go back to an older version of NVDA could you please suggest the
version number and possible link to download

[AI] The making of Unseeing, a documentary that brings alive India's 1st inclusive expedition to Kilimanjaro

[Divyanshu Ganatra]

The making of Unseeing, a documentary that brings alive India's 1st
inclusive expedition to Kilimanjaro


A 6000-metre climb through five extreme climate zones in seven days.
Sounds impossible? Well, that is exactly what a team of 13 blind and
sighted climbers have achieved.

Their epic journey is the subject of Unseeing, a documentary which
brings alive the first inclusive expedition from India and the stories
of the first blind climbers to summit Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania.

Climbing the Kilimanjaro, the world’s highest free standing mountain,
known for extreme altitudes and varying temperatures, is not for the
faint hearted.

Documenting the trip is quite another challenge altogether, and not
uppermost on expedition leader Anusha Subramaniam’s mind when she
suggested the climb to Divyanshu Ganatra, founder of Adventures Beyond
Barriers Foundation (ABBF).

Ganatra, who lost his vision at the age of 19 to glaucoma, is widely
credited with using sports as a medium to bring people with and
without disabilities together. From inclusive treks to marathons, ABBF
has organised multiple expeditions. These are filmed and posted on
their YouTube page.


 The reason everything is filmed is to document them. Many of these
trips are done in remote locations and many don’t get to actually
witness it. When you put it on film it creates more awareness in the
disability fraternity and adventure sports enthusiasts. They reach out
to us. The idea is to create an eco-system and encourage people to do
this on their own. – Divyanshu Ganatra, Founder, Adventure Beyond
Barriers Foundation

Subramaniam, who is a sighted ally of ABBF, planned the trip as part
of a cause for the ‘Inclusion of persons with disability in the
outdoors’. A chance conversation with filmmaker Omkar Potdar, helped
crystalize plans to film the trip.

“Omkar got excited about filming it if there were blind people as
well”, says Subramaniam. “I told him that blind people can be taken
only if we get a sponsor and he said we can try and do that. So I
decided let’s just do this with blind and sighted people and truly
make it inclusive.”

For Potdar, the challenging terrain was not the concern. What he was
unsure about was how the visually impaired team members would perform.
Doubts that were dispelled when he met Divyanshu and fellow climber
Prasad Gurav, who is also blind.

“I clearly remember the day I first met Divyanshu and Prasad,” recalls
Potdar. “End of that day when I was on my way back home, I had a big
smile on my face and I told myself, ‘You have your film. I think we
have just the right people for this climb.’ Divyanshu, Prasad and Uri
Basha (Israeli climber) are the not just the stars of the film but
"Champions" in every sense of the word.”

Potdar called old colleague and friend Sehran Mohsin to join him in
filming and together they vowed “to show the world the big
misconception people have about persons with disability.”

For Potdar and Mohsin, it was a challenge at every step. While the
trekkers were focused on the summit, the filmmakers had to do that as
well as ensure they got footage that captured the scenery, the
treacherous terrain as well as the moments of laughter and bonding.

“Since there is no source of electricity, we had to carry solar
chargers to charge our camera batteries and sound equipment,” says
Potdar. “Carrying the solar panels on your back through the day while
walking and filming at the same time was definitely challenging. We
used to literally take turns to go out of the tent in the freezing
cold and put our cameras out for a night time-lapse of the stars.”

They carried their laptops to the top of Kilimanjaro so they could
transfer the footage they shot everyday given the limited cards they
had for storage. But their solar panels did not have a plug to charge
laptops so every night they would pray a thousand times before
switching on the computer.

“There used to be a moment of suspense before we switched on our
computer, fingers crossed hoping it switches on,” recalls Potdar.
“Luckily, it never betrayed us and everything went smooth.”

It’s truly a labour of love and commitment for everyone who was part
of the expedition.

“We needed it to be subtle and yet a strong message through visuals
that talks of Inclusion,” says Subramaniam.

“Sadly, people are not getting the point of inclusion. They are
focused on the fact that ‘wow the blind climbed with you,’ ‘Oh you
took the blind with you’ and I have to explain, - I did not take the
blind with me. We climbed together. I want to break this mindset that
persons with disability are incapable. This climb is to send out a
strong message that all of us are part of the same society and we can
co-exist together and play and grow together beautifully. “

Unseeing will release on 1 November. To watch the trailer that has
everyone riveted

[AI] Join Adventures Beyond Barriers on the most exciting inclusive trek to Everest Base Camp—sponsorships available!

[Divyanshu Ganatra]

Hey,

The mountains are calling and they are calling persons with and
without a disability for the world's most exciting and inclusive trek
to the Everest Base Camp.

Mount Everest, the highest mountain peak on Earth, offers one of the
most picturesque and scenic routes for a trek. These treks will be led
by two of our most experienced mountaineers who have successfully
summitted Mount Everest and stood tall on top of the world—Aparna
Prabhudesai and Kuntal Joisher.

■ Aparna Prabhudesai: Five years ago, Aparna was told that she would
never walk again without support. In June last year, the 47-year-old
Maharashtrian went on to summit Mount Everest.

■ Kuntal Joisher: Kuntal is the first vegan to have climbed Mount
Everest from the south side. His secret? Pav bhaji, vegan bread and
dal chawal.

If you are keen to join us on this trek to the Everest Base Camp,
18,000 feet above sea level, then send an email to
divyan...@adventuresbeyondbarriers.com. We promise you a journey that
is more than the destination—a journey that is full of stories of
courage, grit and triumph; of facing your fears and overcoming odds;
of inclusion and shattering stereotypes; and of climbing together and
making a difference.

What more? Deserving applicants have the chance to get sponsorships
for this trek on a first-come-first-serve and merit basis.So apply now
by sending an email to divyan...@adventuresbeyondbarriers.com or by
calling us on +91 98909 93825.

Come and play together with us to change the world!

A few quick answers:

1. What is Adventures Beyond Barriers?
The Adventures Beyond Barriers Foundation (ABBF) is a not for profit
that promotes adventure sports for persons with and without disability
to establish contact and build empathy. Find out more about us on our
website (www.adventuresbeyondbarriers.com)or by showing us some love
on Facebook (www.facebook.com/adventuresbeyondbarriers).

2. When are these treks happening?
We will have multiple batches going on this trek from the last week of
March to mid-April.

3. I have a disability. Can I join this awesome trek?
Yes, this trek is open to  blind/visually impaired, deaf and amputees.
However, you will have to go through a screening procedure to ensure
you are in good physical condition for the trek.

4. I am blind. Do I need to get a sighted ally along?
The more, the merrier! But it isn't necessary. We will ensure you have
an experienced guide to assist you.

Warm regards,
Team Adventures Beyond Barriers

 Hi, The idea is good. Although I have a bluetooth keyboard already, it
 works better and almost 100% accurately. But While using it with
 android, it produces multiple keys for a single press and is very
 iritating indeed, almost unusable. However, please give us some more
 details about the specs.
 I also tried ordering it but did not get any confirmation.
 Thanks,

Appreciate if you could also help share this information with other
groups and individuals with disabilities.

WHY DO WE CONDUCT marathons FOR PERSON'S WITH DISABILITIES and Able
bodied together?
You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year
of conversation. While our main focus is on the sport, the truth is,
sports are simply the tool for accomplishing a bigger goal, to bring
hope, inspiration and the joys of achievement to Persons with
Disabilities. Persons with Disabilities run for many reasons and with
many goals, to improve physical strength; to build confidence. But
along the run something else happens that few expect, but everyone
cherishes. It is the sense of friendship, encouragement, and community
that people find while running. It is our belief that with support,
nurturing, and training, Persons with Disabilities can participate and
succeed in mainstream sports. We believe that sports help us
understand different people and surroundings better. Being confronted
with a challenge and then overcoming it by creative ways is a great
way to increase confidence and it creates lasting ties with each
other. Running together encourages empathy, discovering more about
yourself and your partner. It creates awareness at levels that help
breaks stereotypes and bring about social transformation.
Running is a great way for Persons with Disabilities to mingle in the
mainstream. Many of them, especially in India, struggle with
establishing contact with the rest of the community and often live
isolated lives. Sport helps them break free of these barriers, engage
in the outside world, realize their capabilities and create
friendships. It helps their self belief, helps communicate their view
of world, and helps to think of themselves as change-makers.
ABOUT ADVENTURES BEYOND BARRIERS-
Adventures beyond Barriers Foundation is a Not for Profit
organisation, to promote adventure sports for persons with Disability.
The underlying philosophy is that “You can discover more about a
person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.” We aim to
engage able bodied individuals together with Persons with
Disabilities, in adventure sports and allied activities in a safe and
sustainable way and to bring them both together; in a journey such
that they help and learn from each other.
We hope to achieve this by creating appropriate conditions to
establish interpersonal contact, and by enabling communication with
one another, with a view to understand and appreciate different points
of views involving each other’s ways of life. As a result of this new
appreciation and understanding, issues of stereotyping, prejudice, and
discrimination between the groups should reduce and lead to long term
social transformation. This will also help get persons with disability
more visibility, which helps create awareness towards inclusion and
accessibility.

Re: [AI] insensitive rickshaw drivers in Pune

Dear Narendra
I live in Pune too, and have switched entirely to Uber and OLA. both

[AI] Nagpur boy to showcase invention at US science fair

[Divyanshu Ganatra]

hmm .. i wonder why i will wear another device that will read out text
for me? that too a ugly contraption on my head and pay twenty thousand
for the same. maybe someone needs to point this lad to stuff on
android and Iphone in perticular.  i wonder sometimes if they ever
have spoken to a blind tech user to get feedback. this is not to take
away from the fact that a young boy has gone ahead and made something,
he believes will be of use to our community.

Nagpur boy to showcase invention at US science fair A Class IX student from
Nagpur is among 12 outstanding pre-college innovators from India who have
been invited to showcase their innovations at the Intel International
Science Engineering Fair to be held at Pittsburgh in the US from May 10.

Aditya Bhople from Narayana Vidyalay has developed a device called
Autoreader that can identify and read any text for a visually impaired
person. According to Aditya, this could be one-of-a-kind device in the
world.

“There are some devices that need a constant power supply and are immobile.
Mine is a wearable device which runs on a lithium battery, helping the user
to be mobile and use it anywhere he goes,” he says.

The band-like device is fitted with a camera in the front and a processing
unit at the back and can be worn on the head. The camera captures the
images in the front while the processing unit distinguishes the textual
matter from other things and reads it out for the user.

Says Aditya: “I have been following electronics ever since I was in Class
II. There are 285 million visually impaired people in the world, with 90
per cent of them so poor that they can’t afford assisting devices costing
thousands of dollars. Last year, I thought I would make a reading device
for them, which is not available at this point of time. Working on it since
June 2014, I have been able to make one in a few months and was chosen
among the 12 finalists from over 90 entries from across the country.”
Aditya developed the device at a cost of Rs 20,000, but says it could cost
less than Rs 5,000 if manufactured on a large scale.

Aditya has applied for a patent at the Nagpur patent office and is hoping
to get it for the Autoreader soon.

Explaining how the device works, he says, “I have employed what is known as
text algorithm in my processing unit to extract only the text in front of
the camera. It is preceded by identification of letters by what is known as
visual processing algorithm. The text, thus isolated by these processes
from the details of the image captured by the camera, is then converted
into speech by text-to-speech engine.”

Aditya acknowledges that his device is currently able to read text with a
font size of only 22 points and above. “I am working on it further to
enable to read fine print,” he adds.

The advantage of Aditya’s device is that it does not require internet
connection for text-to-speech synthesis. Aditya learnt C programming as
early as in Class IV, quickly graduating to JAVA and BASH. He was
encouraged and help by his uncle Sunil Khajone, a senior design engineer
with Qualcomm in the US.

[AI] How accessible is the Internet?

[Divyanshu Ganatra]

*How accessible is the Internet?
http://kernelmag.dailydot.com/issue-sections/headline-story/11421/disability-web-accessibility-design/*

By S.E. Smith on January 18th, 2015



Disability. It’s the thing no one thinks about on the Internet, the issue
covered least on most major news sites. It’s not just that disability is
ignored or only discussed in passing or that rare coverage of disability is
often filled with outdated and offensive language
http://sudcc.syr.edu/LanguageGuide/, themes
http://mediasmarts.ca/diversity-media/persons-disabilities/common-portrayals-persons-disabilities,
and attitudes http://www.disabilitymuseum.org/dhm/edu/essay.html?id=24;
the Web itself is often entirely inaccessible to disabled people
http://www.xojane.com/issues/i-am-not-a-person-with-a-disability-i-am-a-disabled-person
.

How do some of the most frequently visited news sites look through disabled
eyes? That depends. Experiences of disability and accessibility are highly
variable. What works for one person won’t work for another, and what one
person needs is exactly what another person doesn’t. For example, some
people with vision problems prefer white text on a black background, which
can be unreadable for people with other kinds of vision impairments.

Web design can aim to address some of the most common issues many disabled
people encounter online, if designers and the firms contracting them are
willing to hire consultants, research, and make the effort. For disabled
people online, there are a number of access barriers to consider. One of
the most obvious is the Internet’s very nature as a visual medium. For
blind people, low-vision users, and those who are colorblind, accessing the
Web can present a complex challenge. Some may use screenreaders, which
describe images (when websites provide descriptive alternate text) and
convert text to speech, allowing users to skip through links to navigate to
other pages and offsite content.

There’s another issue to consider: How does the Web talk about disability?
From this perspective, access is more of an emotional issue than a physical
one. A website might be filled with informative and interesting disability
content, but it might also have stories framing disabled people as
inspirational or burdens or not full members of society. Two stories on the
same subject can turn out radically differently. In disability terms,
discriminatory coverage about disability is called ableist (disablist in
U.K. usage)—and ableism is rampant on the Internet.

We took a look at some of the most highly trafficked news sites on the Web
over the week of Jan. 8. Starting with the Web Accessibility Evaluation
Tool (WAVE http://wave.webaim.org/), we assessed the main page of each
site to determine if it met the basic standards of accessibility-compliant
coding http://www.section508.gov/. Did images have alt tags so people
using screenreaders http://webaim.org/simulations/screenreader and other
nongraphical interfaces would know what was going on, or were images
provided with no context for people who couldn’t see them? Were there
redundant links or unlabeled forms? Would links be useful for screenreader
users? (Link text like here http://www.dailydot.com/ is less useful than
the Daily Dot’s home page http://www.dailydot.com/, which tells the user
where the link actually goes.)

We also evaluated sites visually: Was there a risk that content would be
difficult for colorblind
http://blog.eyequant.com/2013/07/02/108-million-web-users-are-color-blind-how-do-they-see-your-website/
people
to read? Did it include the dreaded carousel
http://www.creativebloq.com/accessibility-expert-warns-stop-using-carousels-7133778,
which is a particular problem for screenreader and keyboard users who can’t
see carousel interfaces, and thus can’t use them to navigate off the main
page and onto the stories they link to? Were switchable styles that allowed
people to interchange themes for visibility and comfort—for example,
between light-on-dark and dark-on-light—available? (Spoiler: None of the
sites we reviewed offered this feature.)

Your favorite website probably flunked this test.

Finally, we asked a key question: In the last 30 days, how many stories
directly related to disability issues had the site published?

What we found wasn’t pretty.

*1) BuzzFeed **Grade: D*

BuzzFeed’s accessibility problems start with the fact that it, like many
news sites, refreshes automatically, which can make it totally out of reach
for some users, especially those on screenreaders. When sites autorefresh,
many screenreaders also autorefresh, forcing the user to go all the way
back through the page link by link—imagine getting 50 pages into a book and
then having the cover slammed shut on you—to find an article.

Beyond that, WAVE detected a whopping 249 errors, including numerous cases
of missing alt text or images with identical alt text. The site’s bylines,
timestamps, and comment counts present a dual problem, as they’re

O no no no.  bluestack is the virtual environment with in the

 order
to
 use
bluestack since the platform itself is excluded from your
 handset.
 Once
you
started to use the whatsapp with the mobile number which is
associated
with
your account it cannot be used it on the phone.  what I mean
 to
 say
is
 you
cannot be active on the whatsapp on the same number on
 multiple
devices.
and this bluestack is not much keyboard friendly.  only you
 can
 perform
basic navigations that's it.  you cannot read the current
 screen
and
cannot
get access to notifications shades.  there are severel
 limitations
 compare
to these talkback justures.

Re: [AI] Adventurous people: experience with fox flying, flight simulating, etc?

[Divyanshu Ganatra]

Dear Amar,
Most adventure activities can be made safe and accessible for
individuals with a disability. it is very important that promoters
understand the safety and the specific needs of the individual before
hand. this is a major concern in a country like India. I have done all
the activities you mentioned and more. in fact i have also
successfully completed my course in flying, and can now fly a
paraglider solo.
I in fact have started a not for profit foundation to promote
adventure sports for PWD's, and able bodied people together. you can
check out
www.AdventuresBeyondBarriers.com
you and everyone can participate and join in on the adventures.
For more details please call on +919890993825

Thanks

Re: [AI] Lets discuss: Acting blind to beg on Delhi streets earned him 5 seconds of fame

[Divyanshu Ganatra]

Dear Preeti,
I couldn’t agree with you more! It is so important to interact and
engage  with the larger community that exists. We as the community of
Persons with Disabilities, are extremely marginalised, and given the
lack of access and infrastructure are mostly confined to the indoors.
This makes us and our issues even more invisible.  The larger quote
unquote normal population hardly know anyone or anything about our
lives, which leads to stereotypes being perpetuated. The only way we
can change and bring about a lasting social transformation is through
social contact, which increases empathy. Towards this we at Adventures
Beyond Barriers Foundation, aim to promote adventure and outdoor
sports for PwD’s and able bodied individuals together. Our initiative
has been able to reach out to large audiences in the public sphere and
has helped not only PwD’s come out and play and participate  as equals
and at the same time changed perceptions and built lasting friendships
between the two groups.
You can learn more about this by visiting the following URL:
WWW.AdventuresBeyondBarriers.com
You can follow and participate in our adventures by   going to the
following URL: www.m.facebook.com/AdventuresBeyondBarriers

In fact we are running a marathon in Mumbbai this 25th with over 100
visually impaired runners and over 200 professional marathon runners
including Milind Somen.
Come play and change the world.

 all
 my blind friends on this list to quit being lazy and get out every time

 20 note before leaving, Manoj said from his village.

 Something told him not to ignore the number. The person who picked up
 the phone asked him to go to Nehru stadium. I went the very next day
 and found myself among members of a film unit. I was taken aside for
 an audition with seven other beggars, all visually impaired. I cared
 little about the film or the actors; it was the free food that
 mattered, for a week till my selection, he said.

 The seriousness of the whole thing dawned on Manoj when he was put up
 in a five-star hotel in Delhi. I used to often go without bath in the
 slums because of scarcity of water. There I was, cooling off in the
 hotel's swimming pool, and rubbing shoulders with the likes of Aamir
 Khan and Anushka Sharma, he said.

 Manoj's brief for the film was to beg by the roadside leaning on a
 stick, waiting for Aamir to come along dancing and stealing some coins
 from his bowl.

 The promo scene lasts five seconds. But it is long enough for Manoj to
 come home to a hero's welcome. I returned to my village with the
 money earned from the film. I have a job in a village shop, a Facebook
 account and a girlfriend too. People now call me PK Honey Singh. This
 is all because of the film, he said.

 What next? Maybe acting in Assamese and Bengali movies, he said.

 For the time being, he has set his sights on meeting his girlfriend
 for the first time on Christmas.

 What does it mean to be 'differently abled'?

 Nov 25, 2014, 01.48 AM IST

 By Rustom Irani

  MUMBAI ON WHEELS - A five-part series on navigating Mumbai as a
 handicapped
 person



 If I know something about myself with the utmost certainty, it is that I am
 not differently abled. I am definitely handicapped (US), disabled (UK),

 a person confined to a wheelchair, a quadriparetic, an individual with a
 degenerative motor-neuron, but yes, I'm not differently abled.



 I'm also not physically challenged! I try and avoid challenges which might
 put my disability to the test, and let's be honest, isn't the most stoic
 Mumbaikar

 also physically challenged by his/her daily commute and consistent struggle
 to survive in this city? The last time I was physically challenged by a
 flight

 of stairs - a dire obstacle for me and my wheelchair - it had a very
 dramatic end, involved seven strong men lifting me to overcome those odds.
 I'm sure

 this exercise left them physically challenged too.



 Some people hear me out with a sympathetic smile and then say, But that
 proves you were able to achieve the simple act of stair climbing
 differently.

 You are differently abled. Not handicapped or disabled. What an
 inspirational story.



 No! Please seek inspiration elsewhere. Physically challenged has just slyly
 evolved to differently abled as a means to be sensitive to any and all
 disabilities

 by grouping them as one. In the process, it has become a generic euphemism
 to quickly and painlessly state the obvious in a total nonobvious manner.
 As

 many euphemisms, by degrees the word becomes an evasion of the very reality
 is describes.



 The term differently abled, the internet tells me, was actually coined by
 the United States National Democratic Committee in the early 80s to view
 the

 handicapped in a more positive light - and a more politically correct one.
 But I have yet to meet a handicapped person who finds the term truly
 acceptable.

 The most vociferous arguments deem it too cutesy, providing the false
 impression of sensitivity towards the disabled experience, throwing a soft
 veil of

 language over issues of disability which need to be accepted and addressed.




 I agree with those arguments. I will also add that even differently abled
 has implications of a pre-set norm of being able, a normal set way of doing

 things.



 I've a wonderful little certified document from the All India Institute of
 Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Mumbai, in conjunction with the
 Ministry

 of Health  Family Welfare, Govt of India, which clearly and quite
 comfortingly announces my disability, gives it a median percentage score
 and
 entitles

 me to all concessions and privileges based on that score. There's nothing
 wrong in being called disabled or handicapped. Do we need to be sensitive
 towards

 the disabled and handicapped or is it because sympathy is a much easier
 option that empathy?



 Most handicapped people accept the fact that there are certain things in
 life which they can never achieve or do because of their disability. That's
 not

 inspirational - the more truthful word is adaptability. It involves sheer
 hard work, patience and perseverance just like any non-handicapped
 individual

 might apply to reach his or her goal in life. Of course we need the help of
 anyone and everyone at times to get through life. However, the apprehension

 of how to address us is the first major hurdle - and it's huge - often
 sending us back to being special but feeling patronised.



 If you befriend a handicapped individual or are related to one, and have
 difficulty trying to state our condition to non-handicapped acquaintances
 without

 sounding offensive, relax. We've heard it all and actually find it pretty
 hilarious. As a kid I've been referred to as a langda, and devised the
 reply

 of saying I had many other things in common with a species of mango. The
 best tip though, is to leave the disability as an open-ended mystery by
 bowling

 a googly like my parents, who sometimes say, Rustom doesn't walk. It
 creates all sorts of possibilities and questions in the minds of the
 inquisitive,

 helps break the ice and makes us feel totally accepted.



 If we meet in person don't worry about what term or label might offend me,
 instead tell me yours and we'll take the conversation from there, I
 promise.

 Over 5,000 Mumbaikars will run for a cause on December 14
 By Hassan M Kamal |Posted 05-Nov-2014
  Mumbaikars, from seasoned athletes to school children, defence

 roads, as part of a special marathon, MustRun2014, to push for
 disabled-friendly infrastructure in the city.
 Run
 Pic/Sayed Sameer Abedi

 Organised by H/West Federation, Must Run 2014, in its fourth year,
 will have athletes as well as first-timers in categories like full
 marathon (21 Km), half marathon (10 km), a 5-km dream run to create
 awareness on oral hygiene and shorter runs like a 2-km run for senior
 citizens, 2-km run for municipal school children and a 1-km run for
 people with disabilities.

 Neenu Kewlani, an activist who's been fighting for the rights of the
 differently abled shares, Though, we have a law that makes it
 compulsory to have public spaces accessible to persons with
 disabilities, we still have not been able to provide an infrastructure
 that can support the movement of persons with disability. Be it public
 parks, toilets, buses and trains or government buildings, Mumbai is
 not accessible to persons with disabilities.

 According to Kewlani, the Census India 2011 reported nearly 3.5 lakh
 persons with disabilities in Mumbai, but she feels the actual numbers
 could be higher. The government to consider the needs of people with
 disability, before starting projects -- including toilets that are to
 be built under the Swachch India Campaign. We want every facility to
 be built under the scheme, to have at least one disabled-friendly
 toilet, she adds.

 Kewlani and her team of experts recently surveyed the Monorail for
 accessibility for persons with disability, and is now planning to do
 the same with the Mumbai Metro.

 @ pranav: We will be putting together a detailed video of the entire
 training/ flying process. Altimeters are not needed since most pilots
 do not go above 200FT. All pilots use assisted navigation from ground
 control and launch crew via radio.
 Air space is also used by commercial aircrafts, hence there is a
 restriction in this area. varometers give a audible signal which is
 easy to understand, but this instrumednt too is not needed if one
 learns to fly using their understanding of the wind direction and
 conditions.
 The entire training is and was exactly what all student pilots go
 through, with no exception.

 Divyanshu Ganatra takes off on his solo flight.-- Photo: Special
 Arrangement

 http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/visuallychallenged-paraglid
 er-flies-solo/article5974364.ece
 I did it because of my love for the sport, says Divyanshu Ganatra
 On Wednesday afternoon, at Kamshet near Pune, a 36-year-old undertook
 his first solo paragliding flight. As soon as he landed, his trainers
 ran out and huddled around him. Amid cheers, one said, We did it. You
 made history.

 Divyanshu Ganatra had just become the only visually-challenged Indian
 paraglider to have flown solo. It was a spiritual high, Mr. Ganatra
 told The Hindu before adding modestly: I did it like everyone else
 does.

 A clinical psychologist who lost his sight due to glaucoma at the age
 of 19, Mr. Ganatra runs a counselling and corporate training
 organisation called 'Yellow Brick Road'.

 The flight was made possible by Templepilots, a paragliding club run
 by Avi Malik and his wife Anita Deshpande.

 According to Mr. Malik, there are no official records of
 visually-challenged people having undertaken solo flights. A Master
 Instructor at the Association of Paragliding Pilots and Instructors,
 he stated that no other Indian had attempted this before. There are
 probably one or two worldwide who have attempted this successfully,
 he said. A hearing-impaired Belgian performed the same feat under his
 guidance last year.

 For Mr. Ganatra, however, it wasn't about the achievement or about
 proving a point to anyone. I did it because of my love for the
 sport, he said. For Mr. Malik and his wife, taking up his request was
 an instinctive decision. The heart said yes first, the mind worked
 on it later, Mr. Malik said.

 What was most important was working together and having faith in each
 other. I trusted them with my life. That is the only way I could have
 done this, Mr. Ganatra said. Ms. Deshpande agreed. It was about
 trust, and not about [never] flying anymore.

 The experience helped Mr. Malik stretch his own boundaries as a
 teacher as he sought to find new ways and means to guide Mr. Ganatra.
 One way was using simulation, and working on other senses: touching,
 feeling and listening, he said. To explain the concepts of
 aerodynamics, Mr. Malik asked Mr. Ganatra to use his hands to
 understand how the glider works.

 In a 'tandem' flight with an instructor, he learnt what the experience
 could be like. An initial idea of using bells was discarded as Mr.

Re: [AI] Visually-challenged paraglider flies solo By Amruta Byatnal

[Divyanshu Ganatra]

@ pranav: We will be putting together a detailed video of the entire
training/ flying process. Altimeters are not needed since most pilots
do not go above 200FT. All pilots use assisted navigation from ground
control and launch crew via radio.
Air space is also used by commercial aircrafts, hence there is a
restriction in this area. varometers give a audible signal which is
easy to understand, but this instrumednt too is not needed if one
learns to fly using their understanding of the wind direction and
conditions.
The entire training is and was exactly what all student pilots go
through, with no exception.

 I did it because of my love for the sport, says Divyanshu Ganatra
 On Wednesday afternoon, at Kamshet near Pune, a 36-year-old undertook
 his first solo paragliding flight. As soon as he landed, his trainers
 ran out and huddled around him. Amid cheers, one said, We did it. You
 made history.

 Divyanshu Ganatra had just become the only visually-challenged Indian
 paraglider to have flown solo. It was a spiritual high, Mr. Ganatra
 told The Hindu before adding modestly: I did it like everyone else
 does.

 A clinical psychologist who lost his sight due to glaucoma at the age
 of 19, Mr. Ganatra runs a counselling and corporate training
 organisation called 'Yellow Brick Road'.

 The flight was made possible by Templepilots, a paragliding club run
 by Avi Malik and his wife Anita Deshpande.

 According to Mr. Malik, there are no official records of
 visually-challenged people having undertaken solo flights. A Master
 Instructor at the Association of Paragliding Pilots and Instructors,
 he stated that no other Indian had attempted this before. There are
 probably one or two worldwide who have attempted this successfully,
 he said. A hearing-impaired Belgian performed the same feat under his
 guidance last year.

 For Mr. Ganatra, however, it wasn't about the achievement or about
 proving a point to anyone. I did it because of my love for the
 sport, he said. For Mr. Malik and his wife, taking up his request was
 an instinctive decision. The heart said yes first, the mind worked
 on it later, Mr. Malik said.

 What was most important was working together and having faith in each
 other. I trusted them with my life. That is the only way I could have
 done this, Mr. Ganatra said. Ms. Deshpande agreed. It was about
 trust, and not about [never] flying anymore.

 The experience helped Mr. Malik stretch his own boundaries as a
 teacher as he sought to find new ways and means to guide Mr. Ganatra.
 One way was using simulation, and working on other senses: touching,
 feeling and listening, he said. To explain the concepts of
 aerodynamics, Mr. Malik asked Mr. Ganatra to use his hands to
 understand how the glider works.

 In a 'tandem' flight with an instructor, he learnt what the experience
 could be like. An initial idea of using bells was discarded as Mr.
 Malik thought that audio signals broadcast through a radio would do
 the job. A quick and instinctive learner, Mr. Ganatra was ready for
 his flight after three days of on-ground training.

 The experience was an overwhelming mix of joy, fear and excitement.

Re: [AI] Death for the mentally disabled | The Economist

[Divyanshu Ganatra]

I'm most befuddled with the responses. i beg to respectfully disagree
with you Harish,  on this one. Are you saying that in  all emergency
landingsno evacuations are possible? that it is certain death in each
and every such situation no matter what?  we both can agree that such
is not the case. i do feel strongly that this reflects the attitude of
the larger society towards us, and if we take this sitting down we are
dead anyways! it is the same reason why 99.9% of times no crew member
even gives me a basic security drill before take off.. and i happen to
travel extremely frequently. However this drill is never missed for
the other regular passengers. i can go on about  it, but believe very
strongly that this regulation in India needs to change.

 all other disabled comunities r not as privilaged as we r, especially

 and i'm quite sure, that a lot of judiciary decissions often not in

 the need is for us to be extremely loud about the fact, that we will

 the main point here is, that we have given people the right to determine

 in

 themselves with the oxygen mask etc, before they help others.
 which is fair enough, but ...there is a clear prioritisation of survival

 and i have a problem with their definition of fittest.

Dear all,
I think with the help of friends here on access india, i have figured
out what seems to be the problem.
@ rahul: so kind of you to make me the offer of downloading the movie for me.
@ sameer : yes indeed someone else on this list had a similar problem
and the culprit seems to be the browser. i tried IE9, google chrome
latest updated version but no luck. only mozilla firefox seems to
work.
any workaround if i wish to download on my nokia E5?
Thank you all for your help.

 There was a discussion on Access India in the recent past about some list

[AI] Bring Dropbox to your Symbian Device in 5 easy Steps!

[Divyanshu Ganatra]

 Bring Dropbox to your Symbian Device in 5 easy
 Steps!http://www.fonearena.com/blog/32424/reminder-bring-dropbox-to-your-symbian-device-in-5-easy-steps.html

 Lately I’ve seen a lot of people complaining about the lack of a dedicated
 *
 Dropbox* Application for Symbian. Sure it would be nice to have one, as the
 apps on both, Android and iOS are really well done. but it seems most
 people don’t know that you can have a much much better way to browse your
 files on Symbian than the mobile web app. What better than having Dropbox
 integrated directly into the Filemanager? It’s easy, it’s free (if you have
 a free Dropbox account) and its very fast to setup! And here’s how its
 done:

 *1. *Visit dropdav.com and sign up – you just enter your dropbox
 credentials and that’s it! This is free if you have a free Dropbox account,
 but will cost you a monthly fee if you have 50 or 100GB running. In case
 you are interested how this works, here’s a bit from dropdav’s website:

 DropDAV is a translator. It seamlessly translates communication between
 your WebDAV client, over the WebDAV standard, and Dropbox, via the powerful
 Dropbox API. Note: Dropbox imposes a file upload limit of 300 MB. Bigger
 files must be uploaded using the Dropbox Application.

 *2.* Grab your Symbian Phone (this even works with older ones!) and open
 the built-in file manager

 http://www.fonearena.com/blog/32424/reminder-bring-dropbox-to-your-symbian-device-in-5-easy-steps.html/scr01-4

 *3.* Hit options – map new drive

 http://www.fonearena.com/blog/32424/reminder-bring-dropbox-to-your-symbian-device-in-5-easy-steps.html/scr02-7

 *4.* In the following screen enter as follows:

 *Name:* anything you like
 * Address: *https://dav.dropdav.com
 * Access Point:* choose your prefered setting
 * Username:* your dropbox username
 * Password:* your dropbox password

 http://www.fonearena.com/blog/32424/reminder-bring-dropbox-to-your-symbian-device-in-5-easy-steps.html/scr03-4

 *5.* Done! Your dropbox access is now setup and should look like this!

 http://www.fonearena.com/blog/32424/reminder-bring-dropbox-to-your-symbian-device-in-5-easy-steps.html/scr04-5

 You can now enter Dropbox, hit options and connect. your content will now

 Hi,
 Sorry
 I couldn't get you.

 Can you explain me in brief?

 With best regards,

 @ shrinivas,
 currently you will need to send an sms asking for the news update. if
 there are a lot of people, subscription option will be enabled. for
 example, cricket updates are free and one can subscribe to it.
 hope that helps

 Hi Divyanshu,

 Just now I sent SMS to 922119 number. And I got news headlines.

 I have one more doubt.
 Just to compare between AIR news and this service,
 I am getting news headlines from AIR news automatically trice or twice
 in
 a
 day.
 How about pooch.com service?

 Kindly update me in this regard.

 With best regards,
 Srinivas MVLES.

 The number you have written is third party? If yes noone company will
 allow to send free SMS WITH SMS pack. I think the best way to get news
 is AIR SMS service before I mentioned.

 dear Siddalingeshwar
 that is Airtel charging you for the sms. not the service. its like if
 someone says we offer fre lunch, they dont mean that they will pay for
 your transport to and back from the venue.
 if you have a free sms pack, where you enjoy free sms, and yet you
 have been charged, please do bring that to my notice. i wil look into
 it.
 thanks

 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 GW Micro, Inc. Announces SocialEyes

 Fort Wayne, Indiana (July 3, 2013) - GW Micro, Inc. (www.gwmicro.com)
 is proud to announce SocialEyes, an application for Windows-based PCs
 that provides access to Facebook via a consistent, keyboard friendly
 and fully accessible user interface.

 While Facebook is committed to enhancing the accessibility of the
 Facebook website, screen reader users often find navigating the
 default interface overwhelming and cumbersome. Using standard and
 common controls, SocialEyes brings a fresh, streamlined and easy to
 use interface to the Facebook social networking platform.

 SocialEyes offers Facebook users the ability to access their newsfeed,
 read comments, create comments, like posts, search for events, pages,
 friends, groups, and more. Users can also read notifications,
 messages, chat with their friends, write on timelines, manage friend
 requests, and access event information. SocialEyes even has the
 ability to attach links, photos, or video to status updates.

 SocialEyes also provides additional features, such as custom
 notification sounds, and message filtering, all designed to help you
 stay in touch with all of your Facebook friends.

 SocialEyes is compatible with Window-Eyes and other popular screen
 readers.  Low vision users may also benefit from SocialEyes by using
 it with a screen magnifier, such as ZoomText.

 A SocialEyes annual subscription can be purchased for $50, but for a
 limited time, you can get an annual subscription for only $25.
 SocialEyes will be made available for purchase soon, and pre-orders
 are now being accepted by GW Micro. You can pre-order SocialEyes today
 by calling GW Micro at (260) 489-3671.

 To learn more about SocialEyes, please check out the Introduction to
 SocialEyes video tutorial. The video can be accessed from GW Micro's
 YouTube channel:

 downloaded from the GW Micro website:

Re: [AI] DDA directed to frame land scheme for differently-abled

[Divyanshu Ganatra]

Will this be applicable only to PWD's in Delhi?

 http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-newdelhi/dda-directed-to-frame-land-scheme-for-differentlyabled/article4560862.ece

 The Delhi High Court has directed the Union Government and the Delhi
 Development Authority (DDA) to frame within three months schemes for
 preferential allotment of land at concessional rates to
 differently-abled persons in the Capital.

 A Division Bench of Justice Darmar Murugesan and Justice V.K. Jain
 passed the order on a petition by the All-India Confederation of
 Blind.

 The petitioner submitted that neither the DDA nor the Central
 Government had framed a scheme in accordance with The Persons With
 Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights And Full
 Participation) Act, 1995 which, among other things, enjoins upon the
 governments and the local authorities to frame schemes in favour of
 the persons with disabilities for preferential allotment of land at
 concessional rates for houses, business, recreation centres, special
 schools, research centres and factories.

 Allowing the plea, the Bench said: “The respondents are directed to
 frame, within three months, appropriate scheme(s) in favour of persons
 with disabilities, as defined in Section 2 of The Persons With
 Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights And Full
 Participation) Act, 1995, for the preferential allotment of land at
 concessional rates for setting up of special recreation centres;
 establishment of special schools; establishment of research centres;
 establishment of factories by entrepreneurs with disabilities.’’

 It also directed the DDA to “incorporate a condition in future
 allotment of land made to co-operative societies requiring them to
 give preference/reservation to the persons with disabilities in the
 flats to be constructed by them on the land taken from the DDA.’’

 It further directed the DDA “to permit the guardians of persons with
 mental disabilities to apply for allotment of flats or shops on behalf
 of and in the name of the persons with disabilities.

Re: [AI] Promoting Technology for Disabled Persons:

something about that amount doesnt sit right with me. that kind of
money to make a website accessible?!! when it could have been part of
the design itself costing no more than what it would cost to build any
website.
Hmmm

 A number of initiatives have been taken to promote research  technology

 for
 the benefit of Persons with Disabilities:-

 The Ministry confers National Awards for the empowerment of Persons with
 Disabilities (PwDs), every year, under various categories. One of these
 categories is for Best applied research/innovation/product development
 aimed at improving the life of PwDs.

 The Ministry made its website accessible to persons with disabilities
 and
 launched the accessible website in January, 2010, at a cost of Rs.20.09
 lakh. Other Central Ministries were also requested to similarly make
 their
 own websites, as well as of their associated organizations, accessible
 to
 persons with disabilities.

 State Governments have also been requested to make their important
 websites
 accessible to persons with disabilities and financial assistance has
 also
 been offered to them for doing so. Central assistance of Rs. 31.00 lakh
 has
 so far been released to 3 State/UT Governments for this purpose. No
 proposal, in this regard, has however been received from the Government
 of
 Andhra Pradesh.

 The Government has also, in 2010, instituted a new category of National
 Awards - viz for websites with best accessibility features. Under this
 category one award each is given for such websites of (i) Government
 organizations, (ii) Public Sector/autonomous/local bodies, and (iii)
 Non-Govt. organizations.

 An Online Braille Library, established by the National Institute for
 Visually Handicapped, (NIVH) Dehradun, has been launched on 4th January,
 2012. This library has books, including in Telugu, which can be accessed

 in
 real time from any location, including Andhra Pradesh. An amount of Rs.
 47.50 lakh has been spent on this project so far.



 An online catalogue of Braille books has also been hosted by NIVH which
 enables visually-impaired persons to ascertain the location and
 availability
 of a desired Braille book, without going to Braille Libraries and
 Braille
 Presses. An amount of Rs.17.00 lakhs has been spent on this project so
 far.
 NIVH has also launched an Online Directory of Services for the Visually
 Impaired persons. Services available in Andhra Pradesh have also been
 included in this Directory.

 The National Institute for Mentally Handicapped, Secunderabad, has
 developed
 certain technology based teaching modules for training of persons with
 mental retardation. Technological methods like electroencephalography
 (EEG)
 and electromyography (EMG) are used for assessment of disability. EEG
 bio-feedback is used for stimulation of electrical impulses in the brain

 of
 children with mental retardation, and softwares are used for speech
 therapy.


 The National Institute for the Orthopaedically Handicapped, Kolkata, has
 developed proto-types of myo-electric hand, multi-use wheelchair,
 low-cost
 pediatric below-knee prosthesis, and functional electric stimulation
 devices
 for persons with foot-drop.

 The Artificial Limbs Manufacturing Corporation of India, functioning
 under
 this Ministry, also works on developing technological aids and appliances

 at
 a relatively low cost.

 The Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI) is running a TV channel called
 Navshikhar through which programmes on disability-related topics are
 telecast for the benefit of teachers/special educators, professionals,
 parents of children with disabilities, and other stakeholders. At
 present,
 there are 472 Direct Reception Centres for this channel, of which 32 are

 in
 Andhra Pradesh.

 This information was given by the Minister of State for Social Justice
 and
 Empowerment, Shri D. Napoleon in a written reply to a question in Lok
 Sabha.

 Dear list members,
 Can I get the Oscar nominated Movie Barfi with audio description?
 I watched this movie, but as the movie is all about a deaf and dum
 boy, and a MR girl, there were not much of dialogs only actions. So
 this movie did not interest me much.
 But I seriously want to comprehend the theme and the emotions in the flim.
  Or, can we do anything to make this movie audio descriptive?
 I have heard that it is an excellent movie to watch.

 Hello List members,

 I have shortlisted E5 or E6 to purchase. I request if the users of
 captioned phones can give their feedback so as to help me finalise my
 choice.

 I am particularly interested with maps feature and whether it is fully
 compatible with these phones.

Re: [AI] Poochh number

[Divyanshu Ganatra]

Dear Shoma,
I can understand your curiosity. However, since we are currently in
alpha testing,  I'm not in a position to disclose the business model
which enables us to provide this service for free. This is just one of
the many offerings to come from Poochh.com   in the near future.
I can garantee one thing though, that all our services wil be free for
the end  user. We will be shortly going public,and disclosing our
revenue model.

Until then appreciate if  you continue to ask questions on Poochh and
give us your valuable feedback to improve our service.
Thanks

Re: [AI] Haptic shoe shows them the way

[Divyanshu Ganatra]

I seem to agree with Rajesh. I'm not sure how this is such a
revolutionary invention. except for vibratory feedback in the shoe,
which is not such a real big deal, what is the USP for this product?

On 4/16/12, Asudani, Rajesh rajeshasud...@rbi.org.in wrote:
 I have not witnessed the prototype.
 However, I have a query:
 If the shoe only relies or integrates GPS technology, then it is not better
 than the voice navigation from a cell phone.
 It should, in my opinion, combine GPS technology with sensors which assist
 in outdoor or indoor walking by assisting us gauge the obstacles and avoid
 them.
 It would do  even ifsensors for obstacles of all the levels from earth
 to about chest height, are embedded ins shoes  and phones do the GPS work.

 Subject: [AI] Haptic shoe shows them the way

 The hindu Scitech
 Deepa Kurup

 Street-smart innovation: Called 'Le Chal' (Hindi for 'take me there'),
 24-year-old Anirudh Sharma's shoe-smartphone combination is a simple
 navigation aide.
 Having landed a much-sought-after job at the research lab of a leading
 global IT major, fresh out of college, Anirudh Sharma was working on
 cutting-edge product technologies. But what really drove him was something
 he was doing on the side, in his own time, over weekly offs and after hours,
 burning the proverbial midnight oil: developing a shoe that he hoped would
 transform the lives of millions of visually impaired people.
 The drive
 Last month, when Mr. Sharma's work with the haptic shoe prototype was
 recognised by the MIT Technology Review, which featured him in a global list
 of top innovators and accorded him the title of 'Indian Innovator of the
 Year', he knew that he was on the right track, technology-wise.
 Yes, it would open up new windows, offer more traction for his work, and
 help spread the word. But what really enthuses the 24-year-old is the
 feedback, the enthusiasm and the joy he saw on the faces of the visually
 impaired people who tried out the prototype of his invention at an
 accessibility summit he attended in New Delhi.
 When they told us that a product like this could indeed work for them, and
 change the quality of their lives, I knew I was on the right track, he
 says, visibly excited and eager to talk about this experience.
 When Mr. Sharma decided that he wanted to make a product that could
 potentially improve the quality of some lives, he stumbled upon the fact
 that there were few practical technological aides for people with
 disabilities. Technology is yet to touch their lives, or make things easier
 in the way it should, he points out, adding that even existing technologies
 for the visually impaired are hugely obtrusive, cumbersome (using voice
 feedback devices that are tough to handle or camera goggles).
 Mr. Sharma's endeavour with the haptic shoe-based technology was to solve
 this problem.
 Called 'Le Chal' (which means 'take me there' in Hindi), his shoe-smartphone
 combination is a simple navigation aide.
 The shoe is embedded with hardware (an Arduino circuit board laid out in the
 sole region of the shoe and vibrating actuators on all sides of the sole).
 This embedded electronics layer is connected via Bluetooth to a smartphone
 that sits comfortably in the pocket of the user. Most of the number
 crunching, processing and computation that makes the navigation possible
 happens here, on the GPS-enabled smartphone. Simple vibrations are the
 language the device uses to communicate instructions to the user.
 How it works
 So, at the outset, the user speaks into the mobile phone: spelling out his
 current location, and his destination. Once the instructions are given, the
 smartphone app (currently developed on the Android platform, and yet to be
 released in app stores as the product is still in the prototype stage)
 fetches detailed Google maps and charts out the directions.
 Since the app is in sync with the shoe, these directions are conveyed to the
 software layers embedded in the shoe. So when the user starts on the
 journey, every time his GPS coordinates change, the software computations
 are made and conveyed to the user in the form of vibrations.
 For instance, if the user must turn left, the vibration actuators on the
 left side of his shoe start working. The length of the vibrations vary
 depending on the overall proximity from the destination, that is weak
 vibrations in the beginning and incrementally longer at the end of the
 navigation task; this is, of course, to alert the user about a possible turn
 in advance, Mr. Sharma explains.
 Superbly simple
 What's impressive about the prototype is its simplicity. Mr. Sharma, who was
 gunning for a tech intervention that would be as unobtrusive and intuitive
 as possible, says the

 Hi Divyanshu,
 If you have ovi maps 3.03/3.04 in E5, then the following should work, not
 sure for other versions but guess the logic should be the same.

 If you are at a place which you want to save, do one of the following:
 1. Go to GPS data - Positioning. If Talks/Mobile Speak says the co-ordinates
 of the place, that means you are connected to the satellite. Here go to
 options, in save position, and key in the name of the place and do ok.
 2. While in maps, you know your GPS receiver is connected to the satellite,
 go in My Position, and press the centre button and go in save place. Key in
 the name and do OK.
 3. When in drive mode in maps, you want to save a place that you have
 reached on the way, press number 2 and it asks you the name of the place.

 You can also save a place which you found using the find place/search
 feature in maps by pressing the centre button and hitting enter on the save
 place item.

 If you know the langitude  longitude of a place, you can also save it by
 going in the Landmarks in menu, go in options, and go in enter new landmark
 - manually.

 best,

 Pranay.

 Hi all:
 As requested by few AI members, I downloaded the data for ovi maps day
 before using the map loader software in my computer. I connected a nokia
 c5
 for the purpose, so believe as earlier it should work with ovi maps 3.03 
 3.04. The data shared an year ago was also reported to work with version
 3.01. If someone experiments by using it with other versions, do share the
 results.

 Map downloader is inaccessible with jaws, and the data is free to use, so
 sharing this with all.

 Download link for the data: http://www.sendspace.com/file/j6tn10

 Its a 254 MB .zip file called 'Ovi maps 3.03, 3.04 data for India 12 April
 2012.zip'. Unzipping it would give you a folder of 311 MB.

 Sometime ago, I also downloaded 10 voices for the same versions which too
 are free. These have English (all), Hindi, Urdu voices and the beeps only
 option.
 Download link for the voices folder (zip file of 35 MB):
 http://www.sendspace.com/file/uaj9ud

 For those who would not know its utility and how to use it, having the map
 data offline in the phone not only saves GPRS costs, but also the map
 software responds faster during navigation etc.

 How to use:

 1. Make sure the phone has the suggested Ovi Maps version. In few phones I
 have seen it the About page of Ovi maps, which is inaccessible to a screen
 reader. So take sighted assistance.
 2. After downloading this file, unzip it in your PC. It has 16 folders.
 3. Connect your phone to PC through USB in mass storage mode.
 4. Using your computer browse to your memory card, CITIES, diskcache. Here
 you would find same 16 folders apart from other folders and files. But
 their
 total size would be less than 311 MB. In case the new data files do not
 work, as a fallback you might like to move the current 16 folders from
 your
 memory card to your computer.
 5. Now copy the downloaded 16 folders of 311 MB in the diskcache folder in
 memory card.
 6. Unplug your phone from the computer, open Ovi maps and search for
 cities/states you haven't searched or seen in it before. If it is working
 fine, which I believe it should, it should show those maps instantly
 without
 the need to download map data of those places using GPRS.

 To use the voices, follow the above directions again for this folder.

 Hope this helps.

 Pranay.

Hello,
one sure way of solving this would be to get a licensed version of
total recorder or ultimate voice recorder for your phone.

 Hi Techies,

 There’s a challenge for you and I really don’t mind treating you for it.

 My friend Austin Pinto suggested 2 solutions to solve my problem of
 avoiding unavoidable beeps while recording calls on c5 by ultimate or
 total recorder.

 1.He suggested to install Xellox on the phone so it is hacked and I
 could install an earlier version of my ultimate recorder which having
 done suitable settings would not beep in my old phone, N70

 2.When I couldn’t install xellox it self due to certificate issues,
 he suggested to generate a certificate  code key for my c5 after
 registering my 15 digit IMEI number on

 www.signer.com

 however, that site was not opening so taking the lead I registered my
 IMEI number for the certificate and code key on

 www.s60certkey.com

 they had intimated on the site that it may take maximum 48 hours but
 so far still my request is pending for certificate file and code key.

 Pl. guide as to what should I do and even after been able to install
 my older ultimate recorder will I be able to record calls without any
 beeps?

 Any alternative for the same objective is welcome.
