RE: [AI] Two questions about the modalities of making documents accessible

[Prashant Ranjan Verma]

Dear Rahul,
You should try to convince people to upload and circulate documents in text 
format and not as scanned images. I think this has benefits for all, people 
will be able to search for text in documents and  use parts of it in other 
documents if needed. And it will eliminate the main barrier for print disabled. 
 

I believe they want to circulate scanned documents to indicate that it has been 
signed by authorities and that they are genuine. In this digital age, presence 
of signature on screen alone is not a guarantee, if someone wants they can 
forge it easily. So, courts can rely more on the source of documents and resort 
to some other methods of validation like digital signature, QR code etc. 

Asking for implementing accessibility guidelines within the documents such as 
use of heading styles and  image descriptions  is probably beyond the scope for 
now. Even if text based PDF/Word/HTML  files are made available, I think it 
will make life easier for many.

Thanks. 
Prashant

Prashant sir, I have two queries from you.

1. You will be conducted 3 short certification courses from 1st May onwards,
what's the timing of their classes?

2. You also had conducted six short term technical trainings for visually
impaired, would you also upload those recordings? Because I have missed
those classes due to very less knowledge of zoom app. Regards, aman.

Yes the software interface remains English since that is what everyone is using.
The trainers will speak in Hindi only to benefit all those who missed out since

NAB Delhi is pleased to present this webinar with Sadaf Khan. As a person

Webinar 2 


Legal Rights and Entitlements as a Person with Disability by Amar Jain - 24
April 2020 Friday, 6 pm 

As a person with a disability, we face hardships in availing any facility or
service. It starts from education, employment, and goes on to our banking
needs, insurance, investment through demat and trading accounts, access to
financial credit such as loans, credit cards, and so on. Add to it are the
compliance related challenges while using thumb / body impression as a
signature, including ownership and other issues.

To bridge this gap, NAB Delhi is organizing a virtual session on "Legal
rights and entitlements as a person with a disability" on April 24, 2020
(Friday) at six P.M. (IST). The session will be conducted by Amar Jain, who
is a corporate lawyer with over six years' experience in capital markets and
banking & finance respectively. He is also a Certified Professional in Web
Accessibility from International Association of Accessibility Professionals.

Re: [AI] Wanting recommendations to buy split air conditioner for my home

[Prashant Ranjan Verma]

Recently I purchased LG AC. Some of its models now have wifi capability, it
works with their ThinQ app. 
When configured it can be controlled with reasonably accessible mobile app
or with Amazon Alexa by voice. 

Probably few other brands are selling alexa/google home compatible ACs also
although I could not find much info about it. 

With some trial and error any AC can work with the Alexa or Google Home
compatible universal IR remote control devices. When setup is done then any
AC can be controlled by voice. However, compatibility across brands/models
is not assured. 

Here is one LG model, I think there are others too.

[AI] Webinar on Financial Planning for Visually Impaired - 18 April 2020 at 10.45 am

[Prashant Ranjan Verma]

Dear all,

I think many of you will be interested in this, some of you had questions on
this subject.

Webinar on Financial Planning for Visually Impaired - 18 April 2020 at 10.45
am

NAB Delhi is with you when you are at home and fighting the battle against
Coronavirus. We are trying our best to give you opportunities to utilize
this time beneficially. . 

NAB Delhi is pleased to organise a unique webinar on Financial Planning for
Visually Impaired individuals. Visually impaired persons are employed across
various public/ private sector jobs. But when it comes to managing their
money, most of them have to depend on their friends/ family/ advisers
because the process doesn't sound very intuitive and they feel that finance
is something which is not readily accessible for them.

To quash these Myths and provide you a basic guidance on this topic, we are
arranging this webinar with Mr. Ajay Minocha who will be focusing on the
following aspects of financial planning.

1.  Importance of making your monthly budget and accessible ways to
track and manage expenses.

2.  Importance of insurance in an individual's life, how much insurance
and which kind of policies should be taken, some insurers which provide
insurance to visually impaired.

3.  Financial goal setting, risk mapping and available investment
avenues for individuals

4.  How to choose a good mutual fund, accessible apps to invest in
mutual funds and share market

5.  A basic framework to choose stocks and accessible ways for financial
analysis of a company, accessible news sources etc.

6.  Some common pitfalls while investing and how can an individual
overcome those.

About Ajay Minocha: 

Ajay is an MBA from IIM Indore and a CFA charter holder from CFA Institute,
USA. He has 5 years of work experience in the financial services industry.
He is currently working with a leading European investment bank in their
Credit Risk division.

Important note: This webinar is an attempt towards financial awareness only.
Ajay is not a registered investment adviser and he will not give out any
specific stock/ mutual fund names during the workshop.

Registration:  

This webinar is only for working visually impaired over 18 years of age.
Visually impaired students and non-disabled should not register. To
register, fill and submit the Online Registration Form before 9 am 17th

We are taking the precautions. We have unique links for each session and we
are also using the waiting room feature. 
There is not much risk. At the most someone can join the session and listen
to it. But we are also checking the participants list.

It is a google form, we have not included any captcha. But to sign in Google
may bring up the re-captcha or the image plus audio captcha for some users. 
It is not in our control, the captcha is brought up by google as per its
assessment of user behaviour.
We have already got a lot of registrations and will have to close it soon.
If you are still planning then register today itself.

Re: [AI] Home automation devices

[Prashant Ranjan Verma]

Dear all,
At the new Beyond Eyes centre in NAB Delhi we are trying to explore more and
more solutions for an accessible Smart Home. The Radio Udaan show with
Danish Mahajan this Sunday was on this centre. 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmKA5O_hyaw=70s 
When possible, you can visit us.

For my personal use also I have been reading and experimenting with several
devices.
 One way to look at this is: There are devices with wi-fi and Alexa/Google
Home capability and then there are switches, plugs and remotes which can
potentially make any device capable of being controlled remotely.

The products in this category are certainly much more expensive than same
non-smart products.
I have tried Smart Bulbs, Tubes, Plugs, Switches, Air Conditioner, Air
Purifier  etc. You can search for these products on Amazon. Note that the
setup of these devices and their native apps may not be totally accessible.
Our best bet is to set them up with sighted help is necessary and then
control them through Voice commands or Alexa or Google Home apps which are
accessible.

One promising product is the Alexa/Google Home compatible Universal Infrared
Remote. These devices can potentially control any other device which has a
infrared remote such as a television, ac or music system. This device can
perform the function of their remote control by taming the command through
our voice. Compatibility with the exact model of the TV or AC you have can
be an issue, so more research is advised before purchase.  One such option
is this: 
https://www.amazon.in/OAKTER-Oakremote-Universal-Compatibility-Conditioner/d
p/B07T65KSLC/ref=pd_sbs_23_t_0/262-3261993-8495310?_encoding=UTF8_rd_i=B0

SJRJ=1=N4V2ZH8WA7GND82BSJRJ 

The above link may break in the email, you can also search for Alexa
compatible universal infrared remote on Amazon. 

Best wishes, remain at home and together we will win over this pandemic.

[AI] Tata Sky Binge+ Android set top box accessibility

[Prashant Ranjan Verma]

Dear all,

Just tried the new Tata Sky Android set top box. From Settings > device
preferences, Talkback could be started easily with Google TTS. 

The thing which concerns us most is accessibility while viewing TV channels.
Here when channels are changed, at times Talkback reads the prompt on the
screen but mostly it remains silent. 

The desired info can be got by pressing the Information button on the
remote. 

Also, on pressing the back button and then the select button Talkback can be
forced to read the prompt which has the current channel number, name  and
program name. 

The guide button brings up the list of channels with programs at different
timeslots arranged in a table. With Talkback one can navigate and read the
various cells. However, table headers are not announced at will and hence
its utility is decreased. 

 

As in most Android devices, the Google Assistant can be asked to do tasks
such as change to a particular channel by speaking its number or name.

 

It has play store from which more apps can be installed. YouTube is
preinstalled and works with Talkback. 

The company says Netflix will not work. The installed apps HotStar, Prime
Video  does not work with Talkback. Sun NXT app which has South Indian
content is usable with Talkback. 

 

All these accessibility glitches and features are dependent upon the
software updates and hence in future accessibility could improve or further
break down.

 

Overall, it is a big step ahead, we now at least have some accessibility in
set top boxes, both Airtel and Tata Sky tested.  Although a little care for
accessibility from these companies would have made life more easier. 

 

My concluding advice is, if you don't want to change your television but
want more accessible television viewing experience, then buy this set top
box. 

 

Thanks,

Prashant Ranjan Verma

Re: [AI] Regarding my petition about making Zomato accessible with screen readers with talkback

[Prashant Ranjan Verma]

Whether an app is accessible or not should be evaluated on the basis of 
accessibility guidelines. 
And one needs to look at the needs of all disabilities and abilities. 
Hardly any app is claiming accessibility certification, till that time if at 
all they are accessible by accident and not by design.

Hi,

With due respect to your efforts of asking/pushing Zomato to make their app 
more accessible with screen readers, I would like to state that I find the 
Android app of Zomato highly accessible on most of the counts excluding the 
option of rating the food and delivery boy. I am curious to know the specific 
issues that you are facing while using the app because there might be some 
issue with your system software. I am using Nokia 7.2 with Android 9.0.

I am just curious to know the issues (because I am perfectly able to use the 
app) that is why I am replying. Please do not take it otherwise. I commend your 
efforts to make things more accessible and easy-to-use.

Re: [AI] What are the cheapest options to travel from IGI Airport to Sector-5 Rk Puram?

[Prashant Ranjan Verma]

Hello Narean,
Are you coming to NAB Delhi? 
R.K. Puram Sector 5 is on the Magenta Metro line and the nearest station is
Munirka. 
If you happen to arrive at Terminal 1 of the airport then you can take this
Metro train and get down at Munirka. It should be a quick ride of 15-20
minutes and very reasonable. 
>From other terminals of the airport Uber or Ola to R.K. Puram will cost
around Rs. 300. 
Thanks,
Prashant

Re: [AI] Offered a gift of 10000 work Tally course for attending National level Tally aptitude test

[Prashant Ranjan Verma]

Tally in its current form cannot be accessible to the blind. No screen
reader scripting  will help.
Tally needs to radically change its UI. Several times they have been
approached but finally they do not take that big step.

1st of all, congratulations for getting the first place at the computation.
As we discussed earlier, tally should made accessible for screen reader
users.
With the latest technology change, most of the students are learning maths
and accounts. But, the tally is still not made accessible for screen reader
users.
Couple of years ago, national association for the blind Delhi organization
was took up the project on getting the scripts for tally. Now, I guess maybe
they stop developing them.

Re: [AI] Anup Roy reports for business standard today: RBI comes up with mobile app 'mani' to help visually impaired identify notes

[Prashant Ranjan Verma]

Those who are representing the disabled in various court cases are requested 
not to accept this as a closure.  The government must be  asked to give a clear 
timeline to replace the current currency notes with new notes having 
substancial differences in size and colour. Nothing less than that will work 
for all.

With due respect to the Govt./RBI, this is certainly a very short term solution 
for the blind elite. 

This is no solution for the majority. Besides, I am  wondering how this app 
would work when we are in  a queue in a super market, railway station where 
people are in a hurry and the noise levels are high. 

For whatever it is worth, thanks RBI!

How is this app better or worse compared to various currency detector apps

Re: [AI] Want to buy new portable and lightweight rich configuration laptop

[Prashant Ranjan Verma]

Try the ASUS Vivobook range. They promise battery backup up to 24 hours, 10
plus hours for sure. Lightweight and slim like mac book. 
Bought the  ASUS X403FA for rs.  55 k approx.  Working very well. Beware
that these light laptops do not have dedicated home, end, page up ,page
down, context menu  keys. Need to use key combinations for these. Amazon

[AI] TV and set top box accessibility: Good and bad news

[Prashant Ranjan Verma]

Dear all,

As per my experience, the accessibility  with Talkback has reduced in the
newer Airtel Xstream android set top box. In the home screen now Talkback is
not reading the app names. When TV channels are changed, it is possible to
read out the current and next program names with details but the channel
name is not read out. If anyone has a better experience with  this box then
please let me know.

 

The good thing is that even in Android TV OS there is a shortcut to switch
off and switch on Talkback. If the Accessibility Services Suite is updated,
then you will find Accessibility shortcut in Settings > Accessibility. Here
choose Talkback.

At the same location you will see the keys  to be pressed from the remote.

 

In Airtel Zstream I can press and hold up and down volume keys to switch off
and switch on Talkback. In Sony Smart TV I am able to do the same by
pressing and holding the mute key. Pranay, Ketan, I hope you have either
figured this out or you are reading this. 

 

Best wishes for Diwali. 

 

Prashant Ranjan Verma

Re: [AI] May be of interest for visually impaired car owners

[Prashant Ranjan Verma]

You are mistaken, I am not talking about self driving car at all. I have just 
shared some information about the internet connectivity feature of new cars. 
This feature can be used by blind persons to know more about the car such as 
distance travelled, speed, location etc.

Hi Prashant, do these cars completely self driven? How it could find a parking  
or how it moves without any human assistant?
Does it works same as Auto pilot mode in Aeroplanes?

Re: [AI] May be of interest for visually impaired car owners

[Prashant Ranjan Verma]

I think this is a new technology which  car manufacturers are adopting. As
per my information this year three cars have been launched with these
features.
They are Hyundai Venue - approx.. 10 lakhs, MG hector approx.. 18 lakhs, Kia
seltos approx. 18 lakhs.
In the near future I think most cars in the 8 lakhs and above range will
come with these features.
Some after market solutions are also likely to be available for existing
cars. However, when the technology comes  from the manufacturer itself, it
is more closely integrated with the car and works better.

Thanks,
Prashant

[AI] May be of interest for visually impaired car owners

[Prashant Ranjan Verma]

Dear all,

As a visually impaired car owner we have been facing various challenges such
as keeping track of the distance travelled by the car, history of trips
undertaken by the car, over speeding by the driver, current location of the
car, checking if any maintenance or replacement is required and more.

 

Recently cars are coming with connectivity features. They have a mobile sim
embedded in them which sends various types of data to the mobile app. 

 

This development is a good news for us. This has opened up the possibility
of keeping a better control over the car. This can help us ensure more
safety and security and reduce expenses.  

 

As always the level of access is dependent upon the accessibility of the
mobile app. Recently I purchased a new car and I am happy to be able to
checkout lot of useful information about the car whenever I want without
depending upon others. 

 

Some of the features I have explore in the UVO app available with KIA car so
far are listed below. Note that I am not an expert on this. The
accessibility in the KIA app is limited, I cannot comment on the
accessibility of the other connected cars offered by MG, Hyundai etc. And
accessibility I guess will vary with every upgrade. 

 

Overall, I think cars going digital is a good news for us and we can look
forward to more independence, one step closer to driving the car . 

 

Possibilities:

- Locating the car by starting its horn and lights 

- Sending map location to car for navigation 

- Setting geo fence for the car 

- History of trips taken by the car 

- Idle time  - engine running but no travel 

- Excessive speeding  by the car 

- Hard braking  by the car 

- Rapid acceleration  by the car 

- Tyre pressure status 

- Remotely locking or unlocking the car 

- Remotely starting the car ac 

- Receiving car maintenance alerts 

- Receving vehicle health report

- Sending SOS message to selected contacts in emergency 

 

best wishes for Diwali,

Re: [AI] AccessIndia Digest, Vol 65, Issue 351

[Prashant Ranjan Verma]

Dear Ajay,
This time the news report was very clear and specific. I think there was no
misrepresentation by anyone, probably wrong reading by some. 

The key word here is "charter" and not getting the CFA degree only. 

All the best,
Prashant

Subject: Re: [AI] AccessIndia Digest, Vol 65, Issue 351

Hi All,

I think everyone will agree with me that it is very disturbing to see the
half-baked media stories claiming many imaginary records especially when it
comes to persons with disability that too in India.

Since the concerned story has suddenly made me a record holder in the eyes
of common man, it is my moral obligation to look into the matter with a wise
heart.

1.  Let's start with few of the lines from the original news item
a.  "Investment banking analyst Ajay Minocha is one of India's four
visually impaired persons to do the CFA and the youngest to get the CFA
Charter".
b.  "A charter is a professional credential awarded by the CFA Institute
to financial and investment professionals who have completed the required
programme of study, passed all three examinations and met other professional
requirements".
c.  "27-year-old Ajay Minocha, who is among India's four visually
impaired persons to complete CFA, has also achieved the distinction of being
the youngest to receive the CFA Charter".

2.  Now let's see what do the CFA institute's guidelines say about the
CFA charter holders.
a.  Enrol in the CFAR Program and register for an exam.
b.  Pass the Level I exam Offered in June or December.
c.  Pass the Level II exam Offered only in June.
d.  Pass the Level III exam Offered only in June.
e.  Have four years of professional work experience in the investment
decision-making process. This work experience can be accrued before, during,
or after participation in the CFA Program.
f.  Join CFA Institute as a regular member. Candidates must become
members in order to obtain their charter.

Source : https://www.cfainstitute.org/en/programs/cfa/charter 

Bottom line: I have always been aware of the fact that I wouldn't be the
youngest person to clear the exam. The extracts from the original news
release quoted above (written in simple enough language) clearly bring out
couple of key messages:
1.  I am one of the 4 persons from India who have cleared the CFA
examination (neither youngest nor the first one).
2.  Becoming a CFA charter holder involves couple of additional steps
along with passing the examinations. According to the article, I am the
first and youngest blind person to receive the CFA charter.

Rest I leave it up to your judgement to decide if either I or the so-called
agency "Newshook" have distorted or misrepresented any of the facts.

Cheers,
Ajay

Re: [AI] Amazon’s Echo can now help describe grocery items to the visually impaired

[Prashant Ranjan Verma]

Hi,
This facility is available on a new device, the Amazon Echo Show, which has a 
large screen and camera inside. Those of us who have the regular Echo smart 
speaker only will not be getting this facility and need not be worried, it does 
not have a camera.
The new device is approx.. 22 k on amazon.

Hi
I was of an understanding Echo was essentially a blue-tooth speaker with 
virtual assistant built-in.
 Now I figure out it also has a camera. It was listening to the conversation in 
the room all the time. So, is it also watching visually? Pretty scarry.
The feature demonstrated is interesting though although it is also available in 
many apps.

Subject: [AI] Amazon’s Echo can now help describe grocery items to the visually 
impaired

Amazon’s Echo can now help describe grocery items to the visually impaired 
Amazon.com’s virtual assistant just got more intelligent after the company 
revealed Monday that the visually impaired can now ask it what they are holding.
The new feature, called “Show and Tell,” enables customers who are blind or 
people with low vision to hold an item in front of first- and second-generation 
Echo Show devices and ask, “Alexa, what am I holding?” or “Alexa, what’s in my 
hand?” The object will then be identified using Amazon’s machine learning 
technology.
That could be especially helpful for grocery items such as tins and boxes that 
might be hard to identify properly. As Amazon demonstrated in a video, a blind 
person asked Alexa what she’s holding and Alexa replied, “It looks like tea.”
“The whole idea for Show and Tell came about from feedback from blind and low 
vision customers,” said Sarah Caplener, who leads Amazon’s Alexa for Everyone 
team. “We heard that product identification can be a challenge and something 
customers wanted Alexa’s help with. Whether a customer is sorting through a bag 
of groceries, or trying to determine what item was left out on the counter, we 
want to make those moments simpler by helping identify these items and giving 
customers the information they need in that moment.”
Partnering with California-based Vista Center for the Blind and Visually 
Impaired, Amazon worked with visually impaired people to understand the 
problems they have at home and how Alexa could help.
One volunteer who is completely blind called the technology “revolutionary,” 
saying with such devices acting as his eyes, he is much more independent. He 
said he likes to cook, but without the help of a personal assistant, it’s 
impossible to know what spice he is holding. In another example, Alexa 
identifies for him a box of macaroni and cheese.
“It’s essential to work with our customers, not just for them, to create 
something that’s truly helpful,” said Caplener.

[AI] Road Safety and Mobility Training by NAB Delhi - Newz Hook article

[Prashant Ranjan Verma]

Tyre maker Goodyear partners with NAB to conduct road safety training in
Delhi for blind people

June 17, 2019

 

Traveling independently is a major challenge that people with vision
impairments face in India. There are many assistive devices available today
to help overcome this. The National Association for the Blind and
multinational tyre manufacturing company Goodyear have come together to
implement a project in Delhi to spread awareness about this.

At 15 million, India is home to the world's largest population of blind
people. This is a community that is seeking to make its presence felt in the
space of education and employment. The biggest barrier they face comes to
independent travel.

People with vision impairments are among the most vulnerable to road
accidents. This in turn leads to very real and legitimate fears when it
comes to traveling alone, in them and their families.

Recognising this, prominent NGO, National Association for the Blind (NAB)
and leading multinational tyre company Goodyear have come together to
conduct mobility training for blind people in Delhi.

[AI] Very simple and cheap way to Accessible TV experience

[Prashant Ranjan Verma]

Dear all,

I just tried out the Airtel Android Settop box, thanks to Rajpal for
informing me. 

Airtel TV is selling this settop box for just  Rs. 3,500. The dish antenna
and installation charges are included. 

The settop box has android OS. I could go into settings and switch on
Talkback. 

The best part is it is reading the channel names and programs as I go to
next or previous channel. I can also press the down arrow key and read aloud
the next program on the channel. 

 

With this, there is no need to buy the expensive Sony or Samsung TVs. It
will work with any TV which has HDMI connection. You can install this Airtel
settop box and enjoy satellite channels as well as apps like Netflix,
Youtube etc. 

It is also possible to pause and rewind live TV. You can also save programs
by connecting hard disk. It has many more features. Actually it is like a
andoid mobile phone connected to the TV.

 

If you want accessible TV then this is worth trying out.  If this had come
out earlier, I would have purchased it instead of the 85,000 Sony TV  

 

I was told by Airtel staff that this is in the market for several months
now. Unfortunately, we did not hear about it in our circles. 

 

Best,

Re: [AI] Reserve Bank of India suggests app to help visually impaired people identify rupee notes

[Prashant Ranjan Verma]

The RBI has really created a mess with these new series of notes.
They must provide the hardware device similr to the one used in USA to all
those who ask for it. Yes it may cost them quite a lot but they need to be
punished for what they have done. 
Mobile apps are already there, why are they wasting public money on it.

Subject: [AI] Clew, a revolutionary indoor navigation for iOS

Can someone test this app and report its usage? I no longer have the iOS device 
so this request.


OVERVIEW

Clew is a path retracing app designed for blind and visually impaired 
users to help them independently return to any desired locations.
Using Apple's new ARKit built for iOS 11 devices, Clew records a path 
and guides the user back to their starting location with a choice of 
voice directions, sound effects, and haptic feedback. FEATURES
  HOW IT WORKS

Augmented reality, exemplified by Apple's ARKit, superimposes virtual 
elements onto the real world. In this case, we add virtual "keypoints" 
to navigate you through unknown areas.

What it does
• As you walk to a location, your phone keeps track of its path with a 
series of virtual crumbs.
• After you get there, your phone simplifies the path to a series of 
"keypoints" where you made a turn or used a stairway.
• As you navigate back, your phone will give you instructions to each 
point, in reverse order, until you reach your starting location again.
• You're now back at your seat, classroom, or restaurant table. Enjoy 
yourself
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is Clew?
Clew is an indoor, path tracing navigation app built for blind and 
visually impaired users. It is designed to remember a location like a 
seat or a room and assist you to return to that destination after 
exploring your surrounding environment.
How can I get Clew?
Clew is available for free on the App Store and is compatible with 
iPhone 6s and newer models running iOS11. For the full haptic 
experience, iPhone 7 and newer is recommended.

What’s the best way to use Clew?
To ensure that the camera is fully capturing your surroundings, hold the 
phone in a vertical portrait position with the camera facing away from 
you while you use Clew. Also, make sure the camera is fairly stable to 
ensure accurate location tracking.
In what environment does Clew work best?
Clew works best in well lit areas with distinct visual features and few 
moving objects like crowds and cars. Although Clew can be used outdoors, 
it is not as accurate in open areas and intense sunlight. Clew works 
optimally indoors over relatively short distances.

What is the pause feature?
You can pause Clew once you arrive at your destination and before you 
start navigating back. Press the pause button on the bottom right corner 
and follow the instructions. Once Clew is paused, you can exit the app 
to do other tasks or lock the phone as long as you don’t shut down Clew 
from the app switcher. When you are ready to return, press the resume 
button and follow the instructions to start tracking.
How can I report a problem?
Please use Clew at your own discretion. Clew's ability to track your 
movement through a space can be affected by many factors (lighting 
conditions, the orientation at which you hold your phone, etc.), and 
therefore may not function correctly all the time. Help us improve the 
system by rating your routes as good or bad. Bad routes will examined to 
further refine the app. If you'd like to offer additional feedback, the 
easiest way to do so is to e-mail the Clew team.

Tell us about your Clew experience by sending the Clew team an e-mail.

Re: [AI] Currency Detector

[Prashant Ranjan Verma]

The government must be forced to produce and distribute  free of cost a 
standalone  electronic device capable of recognizing the currency by just touch 
 or by inserting any corner of the note into it. 
This kind of device is provided by the USA government to eligible citizens. 

It will be a small device, about the size of a credit card, a bit thicker, will 
need to be charged occasionally, and will announce the currency denomination in 
loud voice when the note is put on it. 
I understand that it may cost hundreds of rupees but the government must pay 
this kind of fine for the  mess it has created with new and old notes in 
circulation. 
It should be easy for everyone to use.
I have written about this earlier, also in a letter to RBI, but who cares on 
that side!

the solution is not a bad idea.
But, I have seen some of my senior citizen visually impaired friends, who are

In my opinion, the solution must be universal and, every 1 should be able to

Something is better than nothing. At least, this app saves us from showing the 
currency to our friends and acquaintances who may get an idea of how much cash 
is available with us and they can use the info for different other purposes 
like borrowing, etc.

My personal view. The app is a bad idea. At best it is usable when one is at 
home. While  transacting with the auto driver or at a shop or in a public 
space, the blind  customer and his app will test the patience of people. 
Besides I believe it would make us vulnerable.

Hi All,

With all the conversation around challenges with the currency, BarrierBreak has 
taken the initiative to develop an app called 6 by 6. 6 by 6 has 3 different 
tools and another few are being built. The 3 tools are:
- Currency Detector
- Light Detector
- Magnifier

This app is currently on the Android platform and can be downloaded from the 
Playstore - 
https://play.google.noclick_com/store/apps/details?id=com.barrierbreak.fin=en

We know that some of you'll are already using it and we have received feedback 
which we have incorporated also. We know that some currency notes are not as 
well recognized like the Rs. 50 note and are working on this.

Instructions to help you get an accurate prediction -

- Hold the Currency between 5-6 inches from the phone.
- Place the Currency on an even surface or in a straight position in your palm.
- Tap on the screen to get an accurate prediction.

We have also made some videos to help you use the app better - 
https://www.youtube.noclick_com/watch?v=rqu_Yw0EWeQ

It would be great if you'll would download the app and give us feedback, since 
we would like to make the app better. Please feel to write to us at 
6...@barrierbreak.com

We will also be holding sessions in different organizations to show the app to 
your students and members. If you would like us to hold a Free session at your 
NGO, School or College, please write to us at 6...@barrierbreak.com

Thanks

Re: [AI] Chopping Vegetables

[Prashant Ranjan Verma]

The tether is a small piece of elastic/string which is used internationally to 
assist the blind persons to participate in races and marathons. One end of the 
tether is held by the sighted runner and the other end by the blind person. The 
sighted runner is abel to provide direction to the blind runner without the 
need for physical contact which is not comfortable while running.
The tether can also be used for jogging etc.  

For creating awareness and to provide more independence to the blind, the 
tether was distributed by Big Bazaar to all the participants of the Cooking 
without looking workshop in the seven cities.

Re: [AI] Chopping Vegetables

[Prashant Ranjan Verma]

Dear Rahul,
Recently in the Cooking without Looking workshops across the eight cities,
we used the Koryo electric chopper. 
It is accessible and safe to use. 
Koryo is available in big bazaar stores. Just go there, I think there is
only one model of this type from Koryo.

Thanks,
Prashant

Hi Everyone,
I am looking for a safe and efficient way to cut vegetables as a blind
person. Using chopping boards is an option, but it is far too time-consuming
to be a practical solution. I believe some use electronic choppers. Can
anyone comment on which of these are reliable and user-friendly for a blind
person?

[AI] ADMISSION NOTICE: Career Oriented Digital Accessibility Training Program

[Prashant Ranjan Verma]

 

NAB Delhi announces the first ever Digital Accessibility Training Program
for the visually impaired under the ARICENT Roshni Ka Safar Project. This
project is being supported by ARICENT, a leading Global Design and
Engineering company under their CSR Initiative.

 

Course starts: 2 January 2019. Course ends 31 March 2019. Last date to

NAB Delhi is the premier institute for the ICT Training and it has been the
number one choice for the visually impaired candidates in north India. Since
1996 we have trained thousands of visually impaired persons of all age
groups in the use of computers and assistive technology.

 

DIGITAL ACCESSIBILITY has emerged as a new field for employment of the
visually impaired. In the recent past skilled blind persons have been able
to get employed as Software Testers, Accessibility Evaluators, Usability
Testers, Trainers and Technical Writers. There is an increased awareness to
make the digital systems such as websites, eBooks, software and mobile apps
usable by the persons with disabilities. Various international and national
laws are now making this a necessary compliance requirement. Therefore,
there is an increasing demand for those persons who can test the websites
and other digital mediums and report problems if any for use by disabled
persons. Since the blind persons after training can effectively use the
digital medium, this field has emerged as a very suitable career option for
the blind and low vision. Already dozens of visually impaired are working
for MNCs and Indian companies across the country in the accessibility field.

[AI] Experience of visiting the USA as a tourist

[Prashant Ranjan Verma]

Dear all,

Recently we made a trip to the USA and visited many of the popular tourist
cities in America  during our one month long stay. 

As a visually impaired couple on tourism we havd many interesting
experiences and learnings that may be useful for other visually impaired who
would like to go there.

 

I will be happy to share my experiences on email or phone with people who
are seriously planning to go there as tourist. 

 

Thanks

Prashant

Subject: Re: [AI] For nab delhi books catalog

sir,

Various books are listed but not available for download. We have to click on
"request to upload the book".  I have submitted requests for upload the
bookd for around 14 books but concerned library doesn't take any initiate to
upload them. In "my download only request"
section of sugamya pustakalaya is showing these books as pending.
Second, if a  person wants to get CD of any book, how can he order to NAB
Delhi directly? Library person demands extension number and he/she doesn't
entertain name search. Catalog is not updated by NAB as well as extension
numbers have been disappeared from their catalog now a days.

Re: [AI] How TV and satellite channels became accessible in my home

[Prashant Ranjan Verma]

Further to your queries, I checked that my TV does have Bluetooth.
The manual says that it will support most Keyboards and mouse although no
guarantee can be given.
Regarding supporting Bluetooh speakers, my model does not support it. There
are few other models which are supporting bluetooth speakers or headphones.

However, there is one workaround by which bluetooth headphone or spaeker
will work with most TVs.
there are bluetooth transmitters that plug into the 3.5 mm headphone jack in
the TV. these bluetooth transmitters are available on amazon etc. these can
be used to get TV sound on bluetooth headset or speaker.

thanks,
Prashant

Re: [AI] Netflicks and audio description

[Prashant Ranjan Verma]

Hi all,
Myself and veena used the XL cinema app in the movie theatre  to watch Sanju 
with audio description yesterday.
The experience was great. For the first time we felt as if we have seen the 
complete movie. Generally we go to the movies only with friends and relatives 
and keep bugging them to describe the non-verbal parts of the film. Even then 
the experience is not as complete as yesterday. I have even gone to the extent 
of googling for the movie story earlier   since often we miss out on critical 
incidents in the movie while watching without description.

I think this app is the best solution for providing audio description. There is 
no need to think about making changes to the movie theatres which anyway does 
not seem feasible. 
It will be great if more and more movies do the audio description on their own. 
 

The app will need to be improved continuously. On iPhone 6s it worked without 
any problem, it even detected the movie interval. On an iPhone 7 the AD track 
stopped several times and had to be started again and again. 

Great work done by Mr. Dipendra Manocha with the Saksham and XL cinema team. 
Kudos to Mr. Raj Kumar Hirani for providing the permission to launch the audio 
description.

thanks,
Prashant

hello, XL cinema is providing unmatched entertainment to us and in my view is 
much more comprehensive and useful than the media descriptions we are getting 
in netflicks. I don't find Netflicks very useful apart from the fact that it 
has got a very big number of movies and tv shows.
I rather find it very inconvenient at times because we cannot exclusively 
listen to the action descriptions. The limited info that is available, wherever 
there is any subtitle, because you either hear everything, dialogues being 
repeated in the language of your choice simultaneously or hear no descriptions 
at all.
In fact media description is quite different from audio description.

Re: [AI] Guidance to purchase wireless headset

I am using Aftershokz for a long time now and have got many visually impaired 
friends to buy it. They are using it for 6 to 8 hours on a daily basis.
It is one of the best options for a headset.  There are both wired and 
bluetooth models. I like the wired ones more.

  If you aren’t price conscious then go for bone conduction headphones. 
Aftershokz is the brand. For good ear pads, reach out to guys from

Re: [AI] Scribe guidelines

[Prashant Ranjan Verma]

It is unfortunate that the present progressive and rights based exam writing 
guidelines are being tinkered with. Instead of modifications, it should have 
been uniformly implemented all over the country. 

If some problems were being observed, arrangements should have been made for 
stronger invigilation. 
May be a complete video + audio recording of each blind candidate with scribe  
could be done. It is not so expensive and I think cost is anyway not the reason 
for the changes being proposed. 
The videos of successful candidates could then be evaluated and compared with 
the answer sheets. The fear of   being in complete CCTV surveillance would 
deter much of the wrong practices. 

These days the election voting, some court hearings, interrogations etc. are 
being video graphed. why can't the   same government agree for video graphy of 
exams? 

If not this, why cant the government appoint invigilator for each blind 
candidate or at least one invigilator for 2 blind candidates.

Accessibility of the question paper and method of evaluation is a separate 
issue which needs to be pursued with each examining body in parallel.

Imagine the government appointed pool of scribes offering the blind candidates 
additional service on some payment.  If blind candidates are being accused of 
malpractices, the scribe pool can also become corrupt with time. 

Who wants to give a guarantee that knowledge is related to academic 
qualifications only? Why can't a less qualified person be capable of solving 
questions of a higher exam? and in the same way are all post graduates capable 
of doing well in the class 12 exams even now? Fixing scribe qualifications is 
not a good idea, it will not solve the problem. 

thanks,
Prashant

Subject: Re: [AI] Scribe guidelines

Hi Friends,
On reading this very interesting and extremely useful discussion, I could not 
stop from expressing my observations and view there of.
Firstly in a country like India where there is a huge number of unemployed 
youth, it will not be that easy to curb malpractices of various types in 
writing exams. We are thinking of malpractices that can be caused by using 
scribes by VI candidates only, but it can happen with any other candidates as 
well by any other type  of wrong attitude..  So why to stop VI candidates from 
choosing scribe of their own as it was before? Is it the only malpractice going 
on while writing any exam?Here I’d like to mention that I don’t support 
malpractices by VI but when finding a scribe itself is a great
challenge- particularly in semi urban or rural areas, putting even more 
restriction will make the chance of getting a scribe even more limited..
Secondly I feel, even if the exam authority can build up a pool of scribes and 
provides scribe mandatorily to the candidates who are to use their services,is 
there any guarantee that every one of them will be of same qualification or 
merit? Moreover if a VI candidate finds a scribe provided by the authority not 
suitable for him / her to write the exam only two days before the exam, how the 
authority will provide him / her a suitable one within that very short 
time?won’t it be an extreme injustice  towards him / her and don’t you feel it 
will create a tremendous mental pressure on the candidate?
Thirdly, if we think the case of any exam for any other people, aren’t there 
any differences amongst the candidates in regard to qualification and merit? E. 
g. in any clerical exam do all the candidates hold the same HS qualification? 
Still lots of HS candidates are appearing the exam knowing fully well that 
there is very high possibility of  many candidates with much higher degree and 
efficiency being his / her competitor. isn’t it?
Fourthly, if we talk about professional scribes and malpractices caused by 
them, lowering educational qualification doesn’t seem to be a viable solution 
because in that case, persons interested to be a scribe in profession, will 
learn the subjects of competitive exams only irrespective of their 
qualification and master it. Hence putting restriction on scribe selection can 
neither rule out the possibility of malpractice, nor the use of professional 
scribes’ service.
Fifth, digital media like EVM, audio recorder for submitting exam papers is a 
time taken process in Indian Infrastructural scenario and its efficiency is 
also debatable.
Finally, when our objective is to see the well being of the VI community as a 
whole, and at the same time getting a suitable scribe is really tough task,just 
in an attempt to eliminate malpractice and use of professional scribes, I 
think, instead of putting restriction on scribe selection process and blaming 
our own community  for using unethical means, we should 

Re: [AI] IRCTC challenges!

[Prashant Ranjan Verma]

Dear George,
I understand that while writing to the government it is important to give 
specific examples to illustrate the lack of accessibility of the system. 
However, it must be mentioned that the points mentioned are only examples and 
the remedy is full compliance to the guidelines with third party testing and 
certification. 
We want accessibility for everyone - the totally blind, low vision, cognitive 
disabilities, mobility impaired - one arm, no fingers and so on.  there is no 
way to test for everyone and get their feedback. Compliance to the 
international guidelines is the best way forward. 
Many departments are certifying their websites themselves but they are not at 
all compliant to the guidelines. 

thanks,
Prashant

[AI] Complaint against denial of Internet ticketing facility to blind persons

[Prashant Ranjan Verma]

Dear all,
I have sent the following message to IRCTC on behalf of National Association
for the Blind, Delhi. You may also please take up this matter individually
or through your organizations. 

To,
The Director 
Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation Ltd., 
B 148, 11th Floor, Statesman House, Barakhamba Road  
New Delhi-110001 
Tel: 011-23311263/64, 23314752 , 23314784  
Emails: i...@irctc.com, gg...@irctc.com, c...@irctc.co.in .

Subject: Denial of Internet ticketing facility to blind persons 

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing on behalf of the visually impaired community of the country.
Your Railway Ticketing website www.irctc.co.in has now become totally
inaccessible to use for the millions of blind persons in the country. 

It may be noted that with persistent advocacy and favourable court orders we
had been able to get the changes implemented in the earlier IRCTC website.
In particular OTP based verification was specially introduced as an
alternative to the graphical CAPTCHA. Even though the website was not fully
compliant to the International or National Web Accessibility Guidelines, it
was usable by digitally literate blind persons including myself. You may be
aware that even totally blind persons can use the computer and internet
independently using Screen Reading software (Talking software like NVDA,
Jaws). However, despite having this ability blind persons cannot use the
websites which are designed in violation of standard practices and
accessibility guidelines. 

You have recently put in place a totally new website for internet ticket
booking. This website is unfortunately totally inaccessible for blind
persons and also those disabled persons who cannot use the computer mouse.
The OTP verification feature put in place by you is of no use now. The blind
persons are not able to even reach to the login form.

We have received complaints to this effect from many blind persons from the
country. I have also personally verified the issues with the website. 
We urge you to immediately get the website tested and retrofitted for
accessibility. It must be made compliant to the Web Content Accessibility
Guidelines version 2.0. We can assist in this process if you so desire. 

You will appreciate that blind persons like other citizens have a right to
use the railways and therefore should be capable of booking tickets online.
The Ministry of Social Justice has in fact provided Online Rail Reservation
Concession Cards in collaboration with railways for this purpose. But now
with the change in the reservation website, these Cards are also of no use. 

Please take up this matter urgently and for the moment restore previous
version of the website. You may get the new interface tested and corrected
simultaneously. Any change in this kind of website should be done only after
disability accessibility audit since it is used by persons with different
capabilities and disabilities all over the country. 

I am sorry to say that if urgent action is not taken on this matter, we will
be forced to escalate this matter to the Government and Judiciary. 

Thanking you,

Re: [AI] How TV and satellite channels became accessible in my home

[Prashant Ranjan Verma]

This needs to be investigated. there are many android TVs in the market.
what we need to find out from the manufacturer is if they support any
particular set top box.
the tv remote should work with the dth set top box and it should have a
integrated program guide.
unfortunately even though the tv may have all this, one will actually need
to test whether or not it works with talkback.

Dear all,

I have been able to get a talking TV and more importantly get screen reader
access to the list of channels and program guide of Tata Sky, one of the DTH
service providers. This is how it became possible.

1. Purchased Sony Bravia Android TV. My TV model  number is Sony
KD-49X7500E. I think other models in the Sony Bravia Android series should
also work.

2. Activated Talkback on the TV. It required sighted assistance to go into
the settings and accessibility option. After Talkback started, I have been
able to use the TV menus and its Android OS independently with the remote
control.

3. YouTube, Netflix and many other apps are pre-installed on the TV. I can
search and play programs with the help of Talkback. This TV also has voice
search function and it is very accurate. Amazon Prime video  app is not
working with Talkback. 

4. This TV has a feature which allows it to detect connected Tata Sky set
top box. The Tata Sky can be operated with the TV remote, once setup there
is no need to use the Tata Sky remote, you can do everything with the TV
remote.

5. The TV has a pre-installed app called Program Guide. This app can be
opened to see the Guide which lists the channels with current programs or
one can also view list of programs by different genres. Talkback works
properly here. One can browse through the list of channels and programs and
select them to view.

 

Additionally now I have been able to connect my TV with Amazon Alexa. The
Sony Bravia and Alexa support each other. Sony has a app on the TV and Alexa
has the skill which need to be configured. 

Now I can just ask Alexa to Switch On the TV, Volume up/mute, ask Alexa to
put a channel number on the TV. Even switching channel name is supported.
For example Alexa change channel to Times Now on TV. However, saying the
name always does not work. This is probably also because there are so many
similar channel names such as Colors, Colors HD, Colors HD plus etc. , 

 

I wish we get talking set top boxes soon. but for the time being I have a
working solution in my home. 

 

thanks,

Prashant Ranjan Verma

[AI] How TV and satellite channels became accessible in my home

[Prashant Ranjan Verma]

Dear all,
I have been able to get a talking TV and more importantly get screen reader 
access to the list of channels and program guide of Tata Sky, one of the DTH 
service providers. This is how it became possible.
1. Purchased Sony Bravia Android TV. My TV model  number is Sony KD-49X7500E. I 
think other models in the Sony Bravia Android series should also work.
2. Activated Talkback on the TV. It required sighted assistance to go into the 
settings and accessibility option. After Talkback started, I have been able to 
use the TV menus and its Android OS independently with the remote control.
3. YouTube, Netflix and many other apps are pre-installed on the TV. I can 
search and play programs with the help of Talkback. This TV also has voice 
search function and it is very accurate. Amazon Prime video  app is not working 
with Talkback. 
4. This TV has a feature which allows it to detect connected Tata Sky set top 
box. The Tata Sky can be operated with the TV remote, once setup there is no 
need to use the Tata Sky remote, you can do everything with the TV remote.
5. The TV has a pre-installed app called Program Guide. This app can be opened 
to see the Guide which lists the channels with current programs or one can also 
view list of programs by different genres. Talkback works properly here. One 
can browse through the list of channels and programs and select them to view.

Additionally now I have been able to connect my TV with Amazon Alexa. The Sony 
Bravia and Alexa support each other. Sony has a app on the TV and Alexa has the 
skill which need to be configured. 
Now I can just ask Alexa to Switch On the TV, Volume up/mute, ask Alexa to put 
a channel number on the TV. Even switching channel name is supported. For 
example Alexa change channel to Times Now on TV. However, saying the name 
always does not work. This is probably also because there are so many similar 
channel names such as Colors, Colors HD, Colors HD plus etc. , 

I wish we get talking set top boxes soon. but for the time being I have a 
working solution in my home.
