Re: [AI] Not able to copy table from docx file. Pl help

Re: [AI] Help with spell check
Hi, If you have Firefox installed, you may try to use that for sending web-based emails or filling any kind of form as it offers you spell check functionality. You also need to install an add-on dictionary in Firefox like this one. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/united-states-english-spellche/ Look for the link Add to Firefox, and follow the prompts. After that, whenever you review whatever you have typed in a form in Firefox, your screen reader will inform you about the misspelled word. By using the context menu, or right-clicking the word, you will get a few word suggestions.

Re: [AI] Help required wtih copying tables from PDF to excel
Hi, Before I answer your question, I am curious about 2 things. 1. What do you your colleagues when faced with the same situation? Surely they have an established method. 2. Somewhat related to the first question, if your company subscribes to a paid data source, doesn't that provide you with financial statements in different formats? While publicly available financial statements are usually in PDFs, I don't think that's true for paid data sources. Finally, to answer your question, here is a free online service that converts PDF to Excel, and is as good as any desktop based solution. http://www.pdftoexcelonline.com Usually it is better and quicker to extract financials from HTML to Excel using VBA. Also, there are free sources that provide comparative financial statements directly in CSV format, let me know if that would be of any help.

Re: [AI] suggestions required regarding android o s phones and speech compatibility
Hi all, Yes, the definition of smart phones is changing, and I would encourage people on this list to look at options such as the iPhone or Android based phones. To start with, you do not need any commercial product to use an iPhone or Android phones. Sticking to the topic, there are 2 free open source screen readers for Android: TalkBack and Spiel. The only issue comes up when you have to activate the screen reader, you would need sighted assistance at that time, but once you have TalkBack (the default screen reader on an Android phone) working, you do not need any further sighted help. The main reasons you would need something like Mobile Accessibility is if you aren't technically inclined, or you aren't satisfied with the free accessible browser (not the default browser). Mobile Accessibility has a better web browser for now, but things may change in future. The presence of a physical trackpad or a trackball is a must for now. You can use special virtual keyboards, though you can't use the the regular virtual keyboard. Physical keyboards are useful, but in India, most Android phones with physical QUERTY keyboards are a bit pricey. If you can afford it, then go for them. The phone should also be running Android 2.2 or later, though 2.1 is also OK if you get a phone with a physical keyboard. There are also a few other features missing from 2.1, but it is still usable. Another issue to keep in mind while selecting a phone is to go for a phone that has stock Android OS. A stock Android or a vanilla Android version is one that hasn't been modified by the manufacturer. Some Android versions are difficult to use from an accessibility point of view because of the modifications made to Google's original version. The 2 big advantages of Android phones are accessible GPS apps, and the Android Market that has plenty of accessible apps for nearly every function you can think of performing with your phone. As an example, I will suggest for those interested to checkout Spice Mi-310 for Rs. 7500 running stock Android 2.2. It is the cheapest phone in India that theoretically fits all the requirements for an accessible Android phone. Whatever phone you end up buying, be sure to try and start TalkBack in the shop itself before bringing it home. TalkBack can be found under Settings Accessibility.

[AI] Braille newspaper helps thousands stay informed in India
Parimala Bhat, 52, is among 10 million Indians who are visually impaired. She enjoys reading a local Braille newspaper, one of the world's only papers that cater to blind readers. MUMBAI, INDIA—From delicious billion-dollar scandals to uplifting tales of the human condition and narratives about the country’s economic progress, India boasts a bountiful supply of compelling stories. Parimala Bhat wants to know about all of them. But the 52-year-old Mumbai resident is blind and for years she had to rely on TV news channels to satisfy her craving for news. No more. For the past several years, Bhat has subscribed to Sparshdnyan, a local newspaper that’s carved itself an unusual niche in India’s surging media industry: the paper, whose name translates to “knowledge by touch” is written in Braille. “You know how satisfying it is to sit and just read,” says Bhat, a health-care worker with Air India. “It’s the same for the blind. The TV and radio are fine, but I love being able to save my paper for the nighttime when I’m by myself and get involved in a story. It’s a different sense reading the paper instead of listening to news. It’s just incredibly satisfying.” Published twice a month, Sparshdnyan is sent to about 400 subscribers in India’s western Maharashtra state. While its circulation may be modest, readership is growing fast. Most issues are sent to institutes for the blind, where each copy is read by an estimated 60 people. The paper’s readership is estimated at about 24,000, says editor Swagat Thorat. The three-year-old paper is produced by a team of local journalists who volunteer their time to write for the paper, which averages about 48 pages per issue, and readers and government officials alike praise its coverage of local politics and social issues, Thorat says. “We get about 600 to 700 letters to the editor every month,” he says. Thorat, 50, isn’t the first news editor who has recognized there’s a market for the visually impaired. Some newspapers, such as The Wall Street Journal, offer a service that reads newspapers over the phone at a 300-words-a-minute clip, twice the speed of the average conversation. It maybe informative, but it can hardly be called relaxing. There are also computer programs offering text-to-speech programs that similarly read stories aloud. And while technology has improved the immediacy of news for the visually impaired, there are still a handful of newspapers that rely on centuries-old Braille. A student at the Royal Institute for Blind Youth in Paris, Louis Braille in the 1820s adapted a cipher language of bumps, called night writing, which was created by a French Army officer for soldiers to send secret messages in the dark. Braille developed a method of writing using a pattern of dots aligned in two vertical rows — the letter “A” for instance, is a represented by a single dot in the upper left corner. Braille newspapers have also been published in Italy, Japan, Ethiopia and California. But even Braille supporters say there are drawbacks to the practice. The thick paper required for it is expensive and thick, making publications expensive to produce. The National Braille Press in Boston, for instance, recently printed the Harry Potter series in Braille, a 56-volume effort with each volume nearly a foot tall. Sparshdnyan’s news slant is eclectic. A recent issue featured the review of an autobiography by a local college professor who is blind, an editorial on corruption, an issue that has dominated headlines across India newspapers this summer, and a feature story about doctors who over-medicate. Despite positive reviews from his readers, it hasn’t been all happy news for Sparshdnyan. For three years, the advertising company that has worked with Thorat has failed to sell a single ad in his paper. It begs the question, why hasn’t he sacked his partner and found someone else to broker deals with local advertisers. Thorat, who also produces documentary films about India’s wildlife, says he covers his administrative costs by selling wildlife photos and films. A group of supporters pay the monthly bill of $640 for paper. Since the paper is written in Braille, postage is free. “It’s important that this newspaper be published,” says Suchita Shaha, a Mumbai psychologist who has raised money from friends and neighbours to help cover Thorat’s expenses. “It’s not like it is in the West. There are no facilities here in India for the blind, no seeing-eye dogs. We need to do more to help.” Despite his difficulties attracting advertisers, Thorat says he believes that there’s a demand for more Braille newspaper coverage. An estimated 10 million Indians are visually impaired and within a year, Thorat plans to launch a daily title. “It will require about ($8,500) and this time I’ll be running it as a proper business investment only,” he says. One reason he’s optimistic about a daily is that government policy in Maharashtra

Re: [AI] Scope of Economics for blind students
Hi, Just a small clarification Vamshi. G gvamsh...@gmail.com wrote: On the other hand, if you have economics, you will even get suggestions from them saying that since you have studied economics, it would be better for you to take up arts in graduation. Economics is not really an arts subject. This is pretty much an Indian concept. In the rest of the world, economics is regarded as a science field. Economics is also not a proper commerce subject, though categorizing it in this manner is more correct than calling it an arts subject. It is similar to statistics, quantitative finance, and financial engineering. To be precise economics is social science. In an economics course, there is as much math and diagrams as there is in engineering or a pure science course. That is because Economics uses more or less same mathematical and graphing techniques used in other sciences to model human behavior. Not to mention that there is economic and financial modeling involved as well that requires programming skills. In fact, within economics, there is a well recognized branch called Econophysics that is broadly defined as application of theoretical physics to economic and financial phenomenon. Mathematical content is quite high in economics taught in the reputed colleges in India. I'm only referring to what is taught in India's top colleges as there is a lot of disparity between the course content throughout the country. Additionally, some of the economic institutions in India offer MSE, and not MA in economics I personally know people who got through IIT, but chose to do economics from a top college. Also after finishing engineering, a large percentage of engineers including IIT-ian’s jump stream to either work or study in the field of economics and quantitative finance.

As far as keeping economics as a stand by is concerned, with all due respect to the subject, it is an easy subject and you should be at total ease even if you take it at the graduation level. Studying it from the HSC level is really not a prerequisite. Besides, having computers in your curriculum will make it that much easier to convince an engineering college that you can pursue engineering in computers. All that you need to say is that, I have done it before, so I can do it now. On the other hand, if you have economics, you will even get suggestions from them saying that since you have studied economics, it would be better for you to take up arts in graduation.

Re: [AI] What is Google up to?
Hi again, Kiran Kaja kirankaj...@gmail.com wrote: First, the two news items about Nokia's tactile feedback and indoor navigation project are only research ideas. I met with the team who were working on the indoor navigation project a couple of months ago. It is an excellent idea but we will never know if any of these efforts see the light of the day. And anyway, I fail to understand how these projects will help a disabled person use a mobile phone effectively without paying extra money to do so. Research ideas are the ones taken forward to create practical applications. While these ideas do not guarantee accessibility, they offer additional inducement to stick to a platform besides the obvious use of a screen reader. I believe that Nokia will eventually pay some attention to accessibility, but that it won't be enough to reach the level of usability VoiceOver provides on iOS devices. Speaking of iOS devices, have you noticed that VoiceOver has a Hindi voice as one of the options? The voice is called Hindi, but she actually speaks English in a sort of Indian accent. She also pronounces numbers in Hindi and reads out keyboard letters as their Hindi equivalent. This is quite interesting especially since iOS does not support Hindi. There will always be perceived security vulnerabilities when someone is trying to develop a screen reader for an environment which doesn't have a platform accessibility API as they have to resort to a number of unconventional techniques to get access the kernel. As I understand it, this is what is happening with the Speakup discussions you pointed me to. And again, Similar objections will be raised with any application which has to have global read-write access to certain system files. Yes, Gnome currently uses corba for accessibility. Consequently Orca needs orbitrc file to be installed which is frowned upon by developers. Finally, secured PDF. This is easy as I happen to find myself working for the company who are blamed for inventing the format in the first place smile. Hmmm, so you might be the one reading my future complaints regarding Flash and Air. :-) Last but not least, the idea is not to blame any individual or team at Google or any other organisation. Accessibility has to be an organisation-wide initiative. Agreed Merry Christmas To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.

Re: [AI] What is Google up to?
Hi, Kiran Kaja kirankaj...@gmail.com wrote: KK: if history is any indication, Nokia hasn't done much to promote accessibility of its devices. We have solutions now for Symbian because of couple of excellent developers who figured out means to get into the operating system. Symbian has *no* accessibility API while every other mobile platform except Windows Phone 7 has it. And I haven't seen any indication of an accessibility API in Meego. Sure, which is why I said that the third party screen reader developers would have to innovate. The recent example of Code Factory improving accessibility of Ovi Maps is a perfect example of this. Nokia has plans for improving the cell phone experience which is not specifically for the blind, but which is going to benefit the community all the same. Things like: Tactile feedback http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/nokias-haptikos-tactile-feedback-tech-revealed-in-patent- applic/ and indoor location http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/features/item/12145_Indoor_Location-Future_tech_fr.php Symbian was trying to get an accessibility API, but I haven’t been keeping track of what happened their. KK: Wrong information. A properly implemented Accessibility API doesn't lead to any security or stability issues. In the early part of this decade, OS developers did have a misconception that some accessibility features lead to security leaks but I haven't seen any such issues for more than 6 years of accessibility related work experience. Developers have a number of reasons for leaving out accessibility frameworks, obviously they are not valid all the time. stability and security issues is just one of them. I always check my facts and if you are looking for documented evidence, then here it is. Over at the Speakup list, we are having a discussion after a developer raised an issue that world writable files for Speakup (files used for changing user configurations) is a security risk. http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/pipermail/speakup/2010-December/051463.html and http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/pipermail/speakup/2010-December/051478.html Here is BlackBerry asking users not to run text-to-speech applications again for security reasons. http://docs.blackberry.com/en/admin/deliverables/14557/Text-To-Speech_API-Security_Note--1048931-0319124239-001-5.0-US.pdf And if text-to-speech poses no security risks, then I wonder why do secured PDF documents prevent text-to-speech from running? Yes, efforts should be made to encorporate accessibility right from the start. The company should be held responsible and not a specific section.

Re: [AI] What is Google upto?
Hi, I quite agree about iOS devices. Apple has drastically changed the accessibility Landscape. Recognizing logos, barcodes, colors, voice dictation, watching videos, reading ebooks, listening to audiobooks, using calculators, checking emails, browsing websites, reading news, getting information about stocks- I can do all this and much more. But I wouldn’t dismiss Nokia, whether on Symbian or Meego just yet. Nokia may stil have a couple of aces up its sleeve. It would be up to third party screen reader developers to innovate along with the newer changes that Nokia comes up with and that could even mean charging more. Of course, it wouldn’t be as good as the iOS devices. Android has a lot of future potential when it comes to accessibility. Even with the current limitations of the accessibility API, it offers better options in terms of GPS as well as speech recognition than the iPhone. In fact, an Android based cell phone with a keyboard is currently the only fully usable GPS solution for the blind right out of the box in India and many other countries with good Google Maps. The GPS solutions available on the iPhone mostly come with maps covering America and Europe. While there are apps that use freely available data that comes from Google maps on the iPhone, but if you are going to end up using Google’s data anyway, Android has better apps for this purpose. One last thing, I personally believe that Google’s accessibility team is doing the best they can. Introducing accessibility changes lead to security issues and instability that requires further resources to debug such problems. It comes down to core kernel developers to decide what goes in and what does not.

To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Date: Thursday, December 16, 2010, 2:57 PM I don't think Symbian will see many of these technologies and applications. It is a dying platform no matter what Nokia says. In fact, they are trying to move to a different platform called Meego which is Linux based. Having used an iPhone for a while, I can't imagine myself going back to a Symbian phone. Of course, it isn't possible for everyone to afford the iPhone. That is where Android comes in. We are beginning to see mid to low end handsets running Android. There are some screen reading solutions already but there are not good at all. All Advocacy organisations like RNIB and AFB are pushing Google to improve Android Accessibility. I think this is one area that blind and partially sighted users in India can have their say as well. We are going to be a large user base and it is about time to make our voices heard. I suggest that every one of us who are either using a mobile phone or is planning to use in the future write to Google's Accessibility team and ask for a full-fledged screen reader and magnification features in Android platform. In this day and age, we do not have to rely on 3rd party software for our accessibility needs. Apple have demonstrated that it is possible to include accessibility features in an operating system at no extra cost. There is no reason why Google and other major IT companies can't do it as well. So, lets start writing to accessibil...@google.com individually asking for accessibility features in Android. Alternatively, we could assemble our individual requests and one of us could submit them on behalf of AccessIndia. Sorry for deviating from the topic but technology is evolving rapidly and if we don't take our concerns to the right people at the right time, there is a risk of blind and partially sighted users being left behind.

[AI] TOI Article: Shoot without sight
The local students of Blind With Camera Project were merited in reverse when at an exhibition of their photographs at the NCPA in 2007, an ageing individual declared indignantly that those pictures could not have been taken by the visually impaired: they must have been shot by people with sight, and were being palmed off as blind art. In his defence, at his age it's probably easier to believe a technological miracle than a social one. When the paradoxical idea of photography by the blind took wing about a decade ago in foreign terrain, it was an eye-opener for both the sighted and those with compromised vision because it reconciled opposites—blindness with a visual medium. Over numerous projects from Israel to New York, France and India, blind photography has become a guerrilla movement that knocks back the picket fences of popular art and subverts known idioms of beauty and creativity. It sends one back to the alphabet of understanding with questions like What is Sight? Perception? Vision? And it concurrently holds out a socio-culturo-politico platform from which to canvass for matters of social integration and equal opportunity. In India, the aperture opened in 2006 when Partho Bhowmik, a sighted amateur photographer, started teaching the blind to photograph. He had been moved by images of Evgen Bavcar, a blind Parisian photographer, and subsequently invested two years in the research of blindness and visual art. At the time, coaxing blind students to his workshop was like convincing the old man at NCPA about the legitimacy of the art. Yet, he managed one student. Today, he has an alumni strength of 80. We exhibited at six major national art galleries; five national social conferences; had over 20,000 sighted people view the work; and had many blind visitors visit, says Bhowmik, on his way to Goa to mount an exhibition of the art that emerged out of an in situ workshop for the blind there. This November, he will pitch tent in Liverpool with three students at the International Disability Arts Festival. The accessibility of photography, via raised images, Braille notes, large prints, visual aids and audio tours makes viewing possible for the visually challenged. Spurred by the huge interest in blind photography in India, Bhowmik opened a free virtual school this month (blindwithcameraschool.org) where students of photography have access to linear tutorials, shared images and discussion boards. This project is under the awning of Bhowmik's Beyond Sight Foundation. The site explains how a camera works; how to acquaint with it through touch, and the physics of making a picture. The tutorials are conveniently categorised by the object of photography like landscapes or portraits, for example. Lesson One in portraiture reads 'Come close to the person; handshake with him and put your hand on his shoulder. This will give you an idea about the height of the person in relation to your height.' Simplified instructions such as these are braced by referential links to videos, audios and images by legendary blind photographers. Now, says Bhowmik, the LCD screens of digital cameras have hugely helped those with low vision take pictures—by bringing the screen close to their eye, they have a better idea of what they are clicking unlike film cameras where the view is funnelled by the viewfinder. Bhowmik's students are given a technical tour of the camera through analogies. Aperture is the tactile size of a hole; shutter speed is estimated by the difference of sound at different speeds while the variance in warmth of light while standing in and out of shadows on a bright day shows ISO, he says. Twenty-five-year-old Mahesh Shantilal Umrrania explains how he goes about his seemingly difficult hobby. If I want to photograph your face, I'll feel it first, then step back to what I feel is the right distance, and shoot, he says. When it comes to shooting my surroundings, I have to rely on somebody else's description of the scene. But only for a cursory sketch. Climate and sound are crucial indicators to light and distance. If there's a river close by, I can tell my proximity to it by the sound of its current. If the sound is tempered, I'll know if an obstacle, like a house or foliage, stands before it, explains Umrrania, whose next assignment will be human expressions. He is cautious of praise; he wants his pictures to be evaluated on their own merit, not on sympathy. For 21-year-old political science undergrad Bhavesh Patel, photography is like seeing the world in a non-visual way. His photographs are memory markers just like they are for sighted people, except that his pictures evoke the impressions made by his four senses and not the fifth. My biggest challenge was photographing pigeons in flight at Dadar's Kabutarkhana, because I had to catch them at the brief and precise moment of motion, he says. Photography has found him a new social role—class
Re: [AI] Red Hat Linux accessibility
Hi Prashant This topic is too vast to fit in a single email. Clearly you and your team would have to do some amount of research. I’ll just start with what I consider as the basic stuff. To begin with, you need to find out what variant of Red Hat platform is going to be installed by the government. There are 2 main editions for desktops: Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and Fedora. While Red Hat Enterprise Linux has to be purchased and comes with a subscription for technical support, Fedora is entirely free and developed by the Red Hat community. Also, Red Hat Enterprise edition is largely based on the Fedora distribution, but is suppose to be far more stable. So, which variant is Maharashtra Government going with? There are 3 popular assistive tools available on Linux for visually impaired users and these 3 can be run on all major Linux distributions. Moreover, a user can perform all the common tasks –text editing, checking emails, surfing, writing programs- using any of these 3 tools. Orca: judging by the people mentioning this one on this list, it seems to be the most popular one in India. Orca is meant for dealing with GUI applications on Linux like Open Office, Firefox, Thunderbird, etc. Orca is somewhat similar to the Windows based screen readers. Unlike what most people believe, Orca can run on any Linux distribution, in fact it comes already installed on most major distributions. On Ubuntu, one can easily start Orca just before boot options on the live CD. This is useful for independently installing the distribution. This is why Ubuntu is more popular than other Linux distributions. Emacspeak: This provides speech for an application called Emacs, but Emacspeak is not a screen reader. Emacs is a very powerful text editor with many extensions and you can do pretty much anything in it. See the following case study to get an idea. http://emacspeak.sourceforge.net/smithsonian/study.html Speakup: this is a screen reader for the Linux console. Many Linux users prefer to do tasks through the command line. To train your students, you should probably start with the use of these assistive tools and their interaction with popular open source applications. Till the time you don’t know the exact Red Hat platform that would be in use, you should start with Vinux, a Linux distribution specially compiled for the visually impaired. http://vinux.org.uk/ Perhaps you may also like to contact CDAC as they are in your city. http://www.cdacmumbai.in They are involved in open source accessibility, though I’m not sure if they could be of any direct help to you. Checkout the following web page for information on their projects in this area. http://www.cdacmumbai.in/index.php/research_and_publications/projects/enhancing_accessibility_for_foss_desktops Regards --- On Mon, 8/9/10, Prashant Naik pran...@gmail.com wrote: From: Prashant Naik pran...@gmail.com Subject: [AI] Red Hat Linux accessibility To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Date: Monday, August 9, 2010, 12:49 PM Dear friends, Please guide me on Red Hat Linux accessibility for blind.

Re: [AI] Query about agreements between publishing companies and private users
Hi, I don’t know about the particular agreement you speak of, but I have received electronic copies of books from publishers and authors for my studies based on the simple and rather obvious understanding that I have purchased a hard copy of the said book, and that I won’t distribute copies of the same. Some authors gave me the electronic version even without demanding a proof of purchase. Of course not all publishers were willing to do this. The only agreement I know of is the one that publishers make with a disability office attached usually to an educational institution. The person in charge of this arrangement is suppose to provide a copy of the book to the student(s) As far as I know this isn’t very common in India or many other countries.

Hi Prashant, There is no reason why Math learning games available from regular toy shops can’t be adapted for this purpose. Tactile numbers and some of the common Math operators are available for small kids in such stores; of course this is not exactly a game, but is useful in learning numbers and simple operations. Similarly, any such game that involves use of tactile symbols or objects can be used. A thorough search of the toy shop is probably required in this case.

Re: [AI] Screen reading software for iphone

So I went to check, and according to this PC World article although these features were in iPhone OS 3.0, they could only be used on iPhone 3G S. http://www.pcworld.com/article/166418/whats_new_in_iphone_30.html Regards --- On Fri, 6/25/10, Kiran Kaja kirankaj...@gmail.com wrote: From: Kiran Kaja kirankaj...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [AI] Screen reading software for iphone To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Date: Friday, June 25, 2010, 11:52 PM Snip: How do you know that?

Hi, Quite correct, although to access the complete weekly content, one has to wait a bit as they do have electronic subscription for the magazine. One of the best way to get the articles is to subscribe to their RSS feed which is at the following URL. http://www.economist.com/rss/ One can also purchase the audio version of the magazine that is available from a site called Talking Issues which can be found here. http://www.talkingissues.com/ Look for the “The Economist” link. --- On Wed, 6/23/10, vadhimoo...@gmail.com vadhimoo...@gmail.com wrote: From: vadhimoo...@gmail.com vadhimoo...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [AI] The economist To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Date: Wednesday, June 23, 2010, 9:49 PM Hi Subramani, yes it does.

[AI] Students Develop Radar Device to Help Blind People “See
Students in Israel at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev have developed new technology that allows blind people to “see” objects around them through a simple radar system. The device consists of a computer, two video cameras and a scanning light source that audibly alerts the individual of objects that are close in proximity. The system scans surrounding objects and their distance from two points, much like the human eyes. Currently, vision impaired people need either a sensor cane or a guide dog in order to walk freely, both of which take up the use of one hand. This invention could prove to change all of that. http://inhabitat.com/2010/06/04/students-develop-radar-device-to-help-blind-people-see/ Voice your thoughts in the blog to discuss the Rights of persons with disability bill at: http://www.accessindia.org.in/harish/blog.htm To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.

[AI] Blog Post: The iPad could be the best mobile accessibility device on the market
In 1995 Dr. Norman Coombs, a blind professor of history at the Rochester Institute of Technology and chairman of EASI: Equal Access to Software and Information wrote that the rapid adoption of a graphical user interface (GUI) would close the door on computing for the visually impaired. This was in largely in response to the Microsoft's Windows OS, but his point was well taken regarding all GUI based computing. Speech output systems, at that time, were based on character recognition and didn't work with a GUI that relied on icons and graphics. He wrote that many impaired users had lost their employment or found their positions downgraded because they could not function in the new GUI based environment. Jump to 2010 and the introduction of the iPad. Many solutions were created along the way, but comparing that early state of affairs to what is now available on the iPad dramatically shows how far the field of assitive technology has progressed. http://www.tuaw.com/2010/06/01/the-ipad-could-be-the-best-mobile-accessibility-device-on-the-ma/ Voice your thoughts in the blog to discuss the Rights of persons with disability bill at: http://www.accessindia.org.in/harish/blog.htm To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.

[AI] A Couple of Audio Walkthroughs for Installing Linux
For those interested in Linux, here are a couple of audio walkthroughs on installing Arch Linux- a particular flavor of Linux. I’ll just give a brief background on the major differences between Arch Linux and Ubuntu (since a lot of people know about Ubuntu already). There are several distributions of Linux having distinctly different features and Ubuntu is one of the commonly used distributions. A major difference between Ubuntu and a distribution like Arch Linux is that Ubuntu is targeted at users who don’t want to get too much involved in the building of the system and want to just get the operating system quickly up and running. Arch Linux on the other hand, offers a lot of choices and allows the user to customize the base system in whichever way. If you have installed Ubuntu before, you would know that Ubuntu is installed using a graphical installer, i.e. it has controls similar to Windows and has mouse support. But Arch Linux has a text-based installer, i.e. a command line interface and every user has to use the keyboard to install Arch Linux. This brings me to the use of different screen readers in installing the 2 operating systems. While Orca (a GUI based screen reader) is used in the installation process of Ubuntu, Speakup (a screen reader for the text console) is used for Arch Linux. You can find more about Arch Linux here. http://www.archlinux.org/ And about Speakup here. http://www.linux-speakup.org/ If anyone decides to go through with the installation, I would recommend listening to both the recordings. Also, if you have any feedback (you don’t understand a step, or you don’t like the accent), you can email the creator: Michael at mwhapp...@aim.com Size: 20 MB Runtime: 75 – 80 minutes http://www.sendspace.com/file/e02n38 Size: 27 MB Runtime: 110 – 115 minutes http://www.sendspace.com/file/4s4p17 Regards To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.

Re: [AI] Query on the software Finacle
Swati, Assuming that you want to/ are going to work for a bank that uses Finacle for its banking and financial operations, here are a few things you need to find out before the accessibility of this Java based application can be determined. 1. What OS is installed on the machine that you are going to work on? Google tells me that Finacle is Java based, so it can run on any platform, Windows, Linux, or even UNIX. 2. Are you allowed to install a third party application on the machine on which Finacle is installed? 3. What part of your job involves using this software, e.g. querying data, managing data, etc? As has already been suggested, it’s possible that you may be dealing with an HTML interface, but I think that’s unlikely, since HTML is usually served to the customers, which if my above assumption is true, you are not. Of course, it’s quite possible that someone may already have tested the Java interface of Finacle for its accessibility. Also, if you prefer, you may answer off-list.

Hi, On Mon, 2/22/10, KARAN GUPTA kara...@gmail.com wrote: Technically speaking - no wi-fi can be hooked with gps satelites because wi-fi a/b/g/n and newer wi-max have their own limitations. There is no “hooking” of Wi-Fi to GPS satellites involved. Skyhook uses Wi-Fi hotspot locations alongside GPS and cell towers location in a complex algorithm to calculate a more accurate position. Perhaps you should have read the Wikipedia entry after all. It provides the same information as the company’s official page that was also mentioned in my email. on this topic. No educated people or leading universities take refrences and informations from unreliable sources like wikipedia. Academic references are only made while writing a research paper, and not on casual lists. Of course if one doesn’t know the difference in the style of writing a research paper and an email, this can be a big problem. I’m on several mailing lists and forums full of Economists, Mathematicians and Statisticians and none of them make use of references to papers to explain concepts that already exist in the public domain, in fact guess what? They link to Wikipedia to clarify the basic idea behind the concept. Wikipedia contains further references that can be followed up to authentic sources. The job of Wikipedia is to give a quick overview of a concept and provide further more useful sources, which it does quite well. Anyone can write there exacly like we do on blogs Blogs are also written by Nobel laureates. The blogs written by famous Mathematicians and scientists have a huge impact on prevalent ideas and eventually on research that finally takes place.

Re: [AI] IE7 or IE8: which is more accessible?
Hi, Firefox is certainly accessible, but more importantly it is also open source. People behind Mozilla have done a lot to make Mozilla products accessible. To know more about the work on accessibility at Mozilla, one major blog worth following is that of the Mozilla’s accessibility engineer. http://www.marcozehe.de/2009/11/09/new-accessibility-features-in-3-6/ I will just point out 2 interesting posts that he has made. - The WAI-ARIA Windows screen reader shootout http://www.marcozehe.de/2009/07/01/the-wai-aria-windows-screen-reader-shootout/ New accessibility features in Firefox 3.6 http://www.marcozehe.de/2009/11/09/new-accessibility-features-in-3-6/ Now for your questions: while browsing through tables using Ctrl+alt+ down arrow, sometimes it says bottom of column though my cursor is still in the middle of the table and plenty of rows are there below that. This has been slightly improved in version 3.6, but as has been already pointed out, refreshing the screen does the work. while using tabs, sometimes Jaws doesn't read the correct tab, This has been resolved in 3.6 Regards For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return. ~ Leonardo da Vinci --- On Thu, 2/25/10, Arpit Jain arpit@gmail.com wrote: From: Arpit Jain arpit@gmail.com Subject: Re: [AI] IE7 or IE8: which is more accessible?

Also, when you say that you are preferring Firefox over IE, kindly tell me is it completely accessible with JAWS as much as IE is, because I have been using Firefox over a year now and I personally feel that it is not all that good while using it with JAWS, some e.g. which I have experienced are: while browsing through tables using Ctrl+alt+ down arrow, sometimes it says bottom of column though my cursor is still in the middle of the table and plenty of rows are there below that. while using tabs, sometimes Jaws doesn't read the correct tab, to simplify I can say: suppose I have three tabs - google.com,msn.com yahoo.com and google.com is the tab which is activated currently Sometimes when I press ctrl+tab, though firefox shows that the tab has been changed to the next one i.e. msn.com, but Jaws still doesn't recognize that and keeps on reading the page at google.com.

Re: [AI] RSS Feeds was: web brouser in ubuntu
Hi, To illustrate using RSS in Firefox, I will take the example of The Hindu. 1. Once on the website www.thehindu.com, look for the link “RSS Feeds”. For convenience, you can use the links list dialog box. This is the RSS Feeds page for The Hindu: http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/rss/index.htm. 2. There are a bunch of feeds on this page corresponding to different sections of the newspaper. If you wish to subscribe to all, you would have to manually subscribe to each one of them. So, to start, press enter on the first one, which is the News Update. 3. To add the feed of News Updates as a Live Bookmark, select Live Bookmarks from Subscribe to this feed combo box. Then, press the Subscribe Now button. 4. Make your selections in the Live Bookmarks dialog box, which is similar to the regular Bookmarks dialog. 5. Now to view the feed items, go to the location you selected in the previous dialog box, the default one is under the Bookmarks Toolbar. It would be the last item in the sub menu opened by pressing the Right arrow, and if you haven’t changed the named it will be labeled as “The Hindu – News Updates”. 6. You can Right arrow again to open this sub menu and press enter on each feed headline to reach the page with the news content. 7. A better way is to use the Open All in Tabs option that is always located at the bottom of every Bookmarks sub menu. All your feed items will be opened as tabs in the same window. You can read each page and then press CTRL+W to close the tab and automatically go to the next one.

Re: [AI] Advantages and limitations of using a 64 bit windows7 over 32 bit
Hi, Presently there are both advantages as well as disadvantages for using the 64-bit version of Windows 7, but this may change in the future. I’m only going to address the main points here, see this 4 page FAQ for more information. http://www.infoworld.com/d/windows/32-bit-windows-7-or-64-bit-windows-7-145 The main advantage of using Windows 7 64 bit is the possibility of using a huge amount of RAM (way more than 4 GB which is the limit for 32-bit) and enjoying improved performance of those programs that are optimized especially for 64 bit (very few of those exist right now). On the other hand, some of the old hardware may not have 64-bit compatible drivers and really old applications may not run at all.

Re: [AI] Querry in MS Excel...
Hi, You haven’t mentioned the version of your Office. In 2007 as well as 2003, one can identify duplicate entries through conditional formatting. But the duplicate items found through this method are highlighted with a color of your choice, which won’t be of much help. The other way is to Sort the column in a way that the duplicate entries come together. If you are interested, I’ll explain how to Sort data later. You could perhaps only be interested in removing the duplicate entries? Regards Hard work will get you a professorship or a BMW.

Re: [AI] Tables in MS-word 2007
Hi, Try this: 1. Select your table. Make sure that no part of the document is selected by deselecting the extra space using the Left Arrow key. You will know when you have deselected a part of the table. 2. Press the “Convert to Text” button under the Data group box on the Layout tab. When a document contains a table, 2 additional tabs –the Design tab and the Layout tab- are automatically added to the ribbon. You can reach the Layout tab by arrowing sideways within the ribbon. Note that this is different from the Page Layout tab. The “Convert to Text” button can be reached by tabbing through the options in the Layout tab. 3.

You do say listening to an audio described film is like listening to an ebook, which does make sense. The act of listening is similar in any case. It just bites me when generalizations are made that imply that blind people are participating in such a different manner that we aren't even actually participating in the same event. I would say that most blind people would say that they watch TV or movies even though it is listening alone, but that not one blind person would ever say that they 'watched' a book. I know it seems like semantics but I feel it is important to make certain distinctions. Anyway, I'm glad the announcement was posted. I had not heard of the movies for the blind website and the descriptions there are really well done. I did enjoy watching some of the TV episodes and hope that category continues to expand. I also look forward to seeing further discussion. What do other people think? Are we in our right to say we're watching? Maybe even when the video portion is not present?

I’ve formatted my OS last night, and have discovered that the CD of my scanner’s drivers is not working anymore. Needless mentioning, it’s impossible to work with scanner in absence of drivers, so I’m in deep dilemma. do any of you have drivers of umax 5600-5650 USB scanner? I’ve tried contacting umax people as well, but the link they have given on their website is dead, and though I could find the name of the driver, but the click on the link is not working. It’s urgently required to me to get this scanner working, there’re lot of things to scan and read, even exams approaching by. Please, help me if it’s possible for you. Aisha sahani.

Re: [AI] Creative technological invention in VI domain
Hi, The work that you are doing looks interesting. A few points/ questions about your software/ hardware. - The link you provided does not work at least for me, so I went to the main site and then arrived on this page. http://www.webelmediatronics.in/brlads/index.htm - What kind of files will your Tactile Reader work with besides text files? For example will it work with PDFs, HTML, etc? Also, can it read NEMETH Braille? - I am happy to see that some one in India is creating products to make Mathematics accessible. I would encourage you to focus more in this area. If needed, I am willing to help out. Is WIMATS editor screen reader friendly for entering Mathematical symbols and equations? Is WIMATS capable of producing Braille file that can be read with your Tactile Reader (this is the inverse of the question I asked above)? - Coming to your programming language editor, personally I don’t think this is a good idea at least from the economic point of view. Most of the Ides – eclipse, VS, and others- are free. Moreover, they either already work with NVDA (a free screen reader), or are being worked upon by NVDA developers. Being an Economics student, I could go on and on about the mismatch of demand and supply, the achievement of an break even point, elasticity of demand, etc; but in my rough estimate I don’t think that your accessible IDE is a profitable proposition. However, you have mentioned that you have surveyed the market. If that is so, then you may know best.

Presently I am working with Webel Mediatronics Limited, kolkata. I develop software’s for my specially able friends and respected seniors/juniors who are willing to work with Computer and various software applications that are still very complex to use with JAWS, Screen reading software. I developed a screen reading software using Visual Basic programming language for WINDOWS. we and ICEVI both developed the WIMATS software for Mathematical Braille using nemeth code standard, please see the below link for details www.webelmediatronics.in/wimats.htm, our others Braille software’s are Text to Braille, Math Braille, Tactile reader, dot direct Braille and lots . we also have experience to work with Cerebral Palsy. Presently we made a market survey on VI domain and decided to develop some new software application 1. A programming language editor: we planed that this editor will be fully voice supported with very simple accessibilities of tools, using this editor users can write more that one programming languages. say if user want to write visual basic program then she/he no need to open Visual studio editor, our editor will provide support to develop visual programming again if any one want to write JAVA code then this same editor will help her/him to write code, that way we will incorporate a lots of programming support into this editor. We will enable TTS based voice support with this editor and key board shortcut and totally mouse free operation with it. 2. Secondly we are working with Optical Braille Recognition (OBR), that offers many benefits to Braille users and people who work with them. we are working to develop new algorithm for detecting dots composing Braille characters in an image of embossed Braille material obtained by an optical scanner. We assume that a mixture of Beta distributions can model the histogram of a scanned Braille document. The core of the proposed method is the use of stability of threshold with Beta distribution to initiate the process of thresholds estimation. Segmented Braille image is then used to form a grid that contains recto dots and another one that contains verso dots. Using segmented image, Braille dots composing characters on both side and double-sided documents are automatically identified from those grids with excellent accuracy. We are now ready to share our technology and interest with you, kindly any organization or agencies hearty interested to execute our projects fruitful in real file please contact us at the given emailed, avik.chatterjee@gmail.com.

Re: [AI] NVDA
Hi, Yes, you can use other TTS if you have them. If you don’t like the default voice, you can first try the different variants of eSpeak from the “Voice setting” Dialogue box found under the NVDA Menu (Insert+N). The only other free TTS voices are Mike and Mary -available from Microsoft. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=5E86EC97-40A7-453F-B0EE-6583171B4530displaylang=en To use these and any other SAPI 5 voices that you may already have with NVDA, you need to change the synthesizer (from eSpeak to SAPI 5) from the “Synthesizer” dialogue box found again under the NVDA menu.

October 26, 2009. Following significant interest of the EPUB standard at the recent Frankfurt Book fair, Dolphin Computer Access is delighted to announce support for unprotected EPUB publications* in its latest line of alternative format solutions. Dolphin's latest solutions empower readers to not only access EPUB materials with EasyReader version 5.10, but also repurpose them into alternative formats such as Braille or DAISY with EasyConverter version 5.01, and even add an instant talking book reader to DAISY talking book materials with EasyReader Express. These innovative solutions are being launched at the ATIA Chicago conference in Chicago’s Renaissance Schaumburg Hotel and Convention Center; October 28th – 31st 2009. Bringing Access to a growing EPUB Market In August 2009, Google announced their hosting of over 1 million out of copyright eBooks in the increasingly popular open EPUB format. Google were quickly followed by a host of eBook retailers and publishers providing their publications in the EPUB format. Noel Duffy, Managing Director of Dolphin Computer Access explains how this series of developments impacts on the wider reading world; “The wide spread adoption of the EPUB file format goes a long way to providing a standard platform for the eBook industry to grow from. Dolphin Computer Access is delighted to be taking a leading role in extending the ebook phenomena to learning disabled, dyslexic and visually impaired readers.” Read your favorite EPUB eBooks with EasyReader version 5.10 Dolphin Computer Access is delighted to announce the release of EasyReader digital talking book player version 5.10 at ATIA Chicago, providing fully synchronized text and speech support for all unprotected EPUB publications. Mattias Karlsson explains: “The addition of EPUB support in EasyReader enables blind, low vision and learning disabled readers immediate access to the growing eBook market. For sighted people, eBooks represent a convenience. But for print impaired people, electronic books represent a necessity since print publications are simply not accessible. Thanks to EasyReader version 5.10, these readers can now open any unprotected EPUB book and experience their preferred combination of audio and highlighted text.” The release of EasyReader version 5.10 quickly follows the previous release of EasyReader version 5.01 which set new standards in the eBook and DAISY talking book market. Dolphin’s AltFormat Product Manager Mattias Karlsson continues; “EasyReader v5.01 was designed to be easy to use and fully accessible to keyboard users while remaining visually engaging to mouse users. The improvements made to the user experience in version 5.01 went a long way to cement EasyReader’s status as THE software talking book playback tool.” To experience EPUB books with EasyReader version 5.10, visit the Dolphin booth 518 at ATIA Chicago in Chicago’s Renaissance Schaumburg Hotel and Convention Center; October 28th thru 31st, 2009. To find out more about EasyReader version 5.10, visit the http://www.yourdolphin.com/newsitem.asp?id=378Dolphin Computer Access website. Convert EPUB books into Accessible Large Print, DAISY, MP3 Braille with EasyConverter version 5.01 Dolphin Computer Access is also pleased to announce the release of EasyConverter version 5.01 at ATIA Chicago, the essential software toolkit for creating large print, DAISY talking book, MP3 audio and Braille. New to EasyConverter version 5.01 is support for converting unprotected EPUB files into accessible alternative formats, as well as numerous improvements that are designed to deal with the real issues that face people creating alternative format materials on a daily basis. Dolphin's AltFormat Product Manager Mattias Karlsson explains; “The addition of unprotected EPUB input enables EasyConverter users to benefit from the increasing availability of EPUB publications, which can be repurposed in whichever format the reader prefers. EasyConverter version 5.01 simplifies the process of creating alternative formats, whilst expertly guiding the user through the different steps involved in creating high quality alternative formats.” EasyConverter version 5.01 also includes an all new Optical Character Recognition (OCR) Editor that incorporates the latest OmniPage 16 OCR technology, ensuring
Re: [AI] regarding way finder access
Hi, In India, Wayfinder Access runs on EGPRS, unless you are an Airtel user. You need to activate an additional service on your cell. Ask your customer care the steps to activate the service that enables your cell phone to be used as a modem. If you don’t understand then just send me the name of your mobile phone operator and I’ll find it out for you. The EGPRS would require you to pay a monthly charge. So, I would advise you to activate additional service only if you are interested in eventually buying the license Regards “I think computer viruses should count as life.

Re: [AI] suggestion needed
Hi, Today, any thing is possible. The solutions that I allude to could be used in the long-run, if not in the short-run to solve the problem of his examinations. 1. Foot Pedals- These can be assigned 3 main keys or mouse clicks and can be operated using the feet of a person. These are used for taking notes and performing other word processing operations. For more information, check out www.nxpeds.com. 2. Voice-recognition systems- These enable a user to enter text, browse web, check emails, and perform other computer based tasks. One of the best speech recognition software is Dragon NaturallySpeaking (www.nuance.com/naturallyspeaking) that works well with screen readers especially Jaws. Another one is IBM’s ViaVoice, and a free way of trying out speech recognition is to use Microsoft’s speech recognition engine (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306537). Voice-recognition can be combined with Braille displays to read and write on the PC. Regards “I think computer viruses should count as life.

I came across a person who is suffering from multiple disability. Currently he is pursuing his tenth class his care taker has a wish to provide him with computer education. so that he will be able to attempt his exams through computer. I quite appreciate the view of his care taker but there are some impediment which makes uncomfortable him to learn computer. He is not able to recognize the speech of any TTS. He can recognize only when people communicates to him through high speech. When I discussed about it with his care taker then he told me that he is suffering from multiple problems. He has problem of not being able to hear clearly, has low vision not able to sit properly. He told me that he did all the things for him example he provided him with large keyboard, he also tried with magnifier software but all these things were wasted. He also knows that the boy is not able to keep his fingers correctly on keyboard. After knowing all these things, I suggested him to use talking typer, which would help him to keep him in touch of keyboard. I know that its not a proper solution of this problem. But I don’t want to break his hopes according to me only talking typer is a software which he can use to settle his fingers permanently on keyboard. Here what I am trying to convey is that all people in the list are surely experienced and better as you have seen life faced more situations like this. So I wish to request you all to come up with some valuable suggestions as it can bring change in ones’ life. -- Rakesh Negi contact NO: 9968368616 To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.

Re: [AI] request for clarification to purchase 1 TB hard drive
Hi, Personally, I wouldn’t recommend running XP on 1 TB hard drive. You could a. Consider installing Windows 7 instead b. Use this drive to backup data A primary reason of bringing out newer OS is to improve performance on newer better hardware. XP is not up to the job of managing the hardware that is coming these days. Besides, I am not sure your 1.5 GB ram is adequate for a 1 TB hard drive. You would have to do some research on this matter. If you still wish to install XP, you need to know that when you install Windows from your XP CD, it will only recognize 127 GB space. I won’t go into the explanation here, but in this scenario, according to my knowledge, you have 2 options. 1. Install XP, update to SP3, and repartition the drive using an application for this purpose. 2. Slipstream SP3 into your XP CD and then install Windows.

Re: [AI] TOEFL
Hi, To add to what has already been posted, a candidate with a disability has to register for the test offline. The forms can be printed out from the site, or received through post on emailing ETS support staff. The accommodation requested by a test taker has to be justified in a document by the relevant expert, e.g. an ophthalmologist. Finally, unnecessary accommodation like taking a large amount of extra time is noted and the score can be downgraded by the college(s). This use to be practiced a few years ago and perhaps the procedure may have changed since then. In any event, your caller should carefully read the “Test Takers with Disabilities” section.

Topics and Content --- A revolution in the information society is now starting, based on the use of mobile phones in developing countries. The hyper-growth of mobile phone penetration is deeply changing the lives of people in most of the world; their ways of communicating, working, learning, and structuring their societies. The promising next step is obviously to access the Web. The Web has already touched the lives of over a billion people and now is the time for the next billions. However, this expansion faces unprecedented accessibility challenges. Even the word accessibility needs a new definition for people in the developing regions. How can someone who is illiterate or barely literate access the Web? In some cases, a language may not even have a written form. The affordability of the technology is also a challenge, while access is constrained by low computational power, limited bandwidth, compact keyboards, tiny screens, and even by the lack of electric power. All of these constraints compound the problems of access and inclusion. The desire for access in developing regions and the resourcefulness of the people who want inclusion unite the communities of people in developing regions and the communities of disabled people in the developed world. Will complex and highly graphical interfaces exclude developing regions from access? What problems exist, what are the newly appearing problems, and what solutions are required? How do the adoption patterns for Web accessibility and inclusion vary across cultures? What effect will the Web in the developing regions have on accessibility in the developed regions and vice versa? Note that while the commonalities between Web Accessibility and Developing Regions are this years theme, please don't be deterred if this somewhat unique area is not yours. We would like to see all quality work on Web Accessibility regardless of the particular field within accessibility. The overriding reason for a paper being accepted is its high quality in relation to the broad area of Web Accessibility. In this case topics of interests include (but are not limited to): * Inclusion and Citizen Empowerment in Developing Regions; * Inclusion and Literacy in Developing Regions; * Enhancing Education in Developing Regions; * Accessibility Problems in Developing Regions; * Web Based Employment in Developing Regions; * Web Based Health Care in Developing Regions; * Evaluation and Validation tools and techniques; * User Experimentation looking at Social Networking and Freedom of Expression; * User Agents for Developing Regions and User Agent Guidelines; * Web Authoring Guidelines; * Design and best practice to support Web accessibility; * Technological advances to support Web accessibility; * End user tools; * Accessibility guidelines, best practice, evaluation techniques, and tools; * Psychology of end user experiences and scenarios; * Innovative techniques to support accessibility; * Universally accessible graphical design approaches; * Design Perspectives; * Adapting existing Web content; and * Accessible graphic formats and tools for their creation. Submission We will accept position and technical papers, and short communications. Position papers should only be submitted as a communication of (up to 4-pages) whereas technical papers should be in full paper format (up to 10-pages).

Re: [AI] CAT site preening after makeover
Hi, Candidates preparing for CAT 2009 should especially visit this page. http://www.catiim.in/da_candidates.html While the examination authorities have finally set forth clear guidelines for candidates with disabilities, there are a couple of interesting developments. For one, two new rules for an acceptable scribe have been added. - Is not involved in any academic tutoring or preparation for the test to be administered. - Has not completed 19 years of age as of October 31, 2009. Also, a scribe falls into a “testing assistive device” category. The other 2 devices of interest in this category are an Abacus and a Magnifying Screen. I don’t think that a candidate can be allowed to give CAT with a screen reader, since no additional device can be carried inside the centre. No additional software can be installed on the computers as well. This holds true for all international examinations. With some effort, the CAT could be eventually made self-voicing. Presently, GRE gives an option to take a self-voiced test.

The website www.catiim.in , which earlier only provided basic information about the examination, was re-launched this Sunday. It now has details to guide the candidates on when and where to avail of the vouchers for the examinations, a step-by-step guide to online registration, the eligibility of candidates as well as a hands-on demonstration of the new computer-based test. It is a part of our policy to make the CAT paperless and more environment-friendly. By providing information on the website, we will be able to avoid printing lakhs of multiple-page bulletins for the candidates. The website has been exclusively upgraded by the CAT centre, said Satish Deodhar, professor and convenor of the CAT centre at the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIMA). With the new website, the candidates preparing for the computer-based CAT can start practising by means of a demo test provided. We have provided a CAT demo for candidates who are preparing for the test, Deodhar said. The upgraded website provides links to all seven Indian Institute of Management and also lists the other institutes across the country that accept CAT scores for admission along with links to their websites. This facility will enable the candidates to take informed decisions on the CAT and choosing between institutes, Deodhar said. The website also provides details for differently-abled candidates, including the required criteria for registering under this category. While the CAT examination will be conducted over a span of ten days, with two sessions every day, differently-abled candidates will have to answer their test on December 3.

Re: [AI] Purchasing online, how safe is it?
Hi, The other aspect of making a purchase online is protecting your financial information present on your PC. The 2 critical steps in this direction would be: 1. Using a good anti-virus and anti-spyware software and a firewall. This will offer you protection against keyloggers. If a keylogger is monitoring all activities on your keyboard, then there is a threat that your financial information will be stolen. 2. Storing your financial information on an external USB drive. This will keep your passwords in a secure location that is away from internet access. Finally, I see that there are plenty of good suggestions given on the list. I just want to point out here that as long as you are conducting a transaction on a well known site with an encrypted connection, you are quite safe. Certainly thefts of credit card information occur frequently, but as per my knowledge, there is no way of detecting that such thefts occur while you are making a purchase.

We call this Universal Access, and it includes many features you won't find in other operating systems at any price. In Mac OS X, they’re built right in. And now, the innovations in Snow Leopard advance accessibility even further. VoiceOver screen-reading built in. Mac OS X is the first operating system to include as a standard feature an advanced screen-reading technology, which is called VoiceOver. Much more than simply a text-to-speech tool, VoiceOver makes it possible for those who are blind or have low vision to control their computer. It features a unique voice — based on speech technology invented by Apple — that delivers amazing intelligibility and natural intonation even at speaking rates up to 700 words per minute. And with Snow Leopard, VoiceOver gets more powerful and easier to use. Now the trackpad is the screen. VoiceOver in Mac OS X Snow Leopard offers a breakthrough new capability: You can control your computer using gestures on a Multi- Touch trackpad even if you can't see the screen. The trackpad surface on your Mac notebook represents the active window on your computer, so you can touch to hear the item under your finger, drag to hear items continuously as you move your finger, and flick with one finger to move to the next or previous item. You'll hear how items are arranged on the screen, and you can jump directly to an item just by touching the corresponding location on the trackpad. For example, you can drag your finger around the trackpad to learn how items are arranged in a web page, a spreadsheet, a presentation, or any document with text. The more you touch, the more information you gather. More braille support, greater collaboration. The Mac is the only computer that supports braille displays right out of the box. Snow Leopard broadens this built-in support by including the latest drivers for over 40 models, including wireless Bluetooth displays. Just connect one and start using it — no additional software installation necessary. Snow Leopard also introduces a new feature, called braille mirroring, that enables multiple USB braille displays to be connected to one computer simultaneously. It’s perfect for classroom settings, where teachers can lead all of their students through the same lesson at the same time, even if the students are using different display models. World-class web browsing. VoiceOver in Snow Leopard offers new capabilities that make web browsing easier, faster, and more enjoyable. VoiceOver has been updated to take full advantage of powerful multicore processors, so it can scan and analyze large, complex web pages quickly and allow you to enter commands right away. VoiceOver will begin reading an entire web page automatically after it loads, and you can use key commands or gestures to control VoiceOver as it’s talking. To help you more quickly size up web pages you haven't visited before, VoiceOver can provide a customizable web page summary, including the title, number of tables, headers, links, form elements, and more. Snow Leopard fully supports HTML web tables without the need for a forms or table mode. You navigate tables using the same commands you already know. You can hear the contents of a table, including the column title and column and row number, by dragging your finger across the trackpad or using simple keystrokes. The rotor.

Re: [AI] Scribe or screen readers
Hi, Using a screen reader to give your exams is a viable option, but there is some thing even better than that: speech recognition software. I sincerely hope that an institution that has a reasonable number of exam takers that prefer a PC to a scribe should be able to successfully adopt this technology. By using software like Dragon Naturally Speaking, you can dictate your exam answers to a PC rather than dictating the same to a scribe.

Re: [AI] Another case of ambiguity in bank exams
Hi, Here is my interpretation. “The academic qualification of the scribe should be one grade lower than the minimum stipulated eligibility criteria.” This means that if the candidate is suppose to have obtained a bachelor’s degree, her scribe has to be less qualified i.e. has not completed 10+2+3 years of education at the point of writing this exam. The same rule holds for a candidate with a master’s degree. The key point here is that the scribe should be one grade lower than the minimum stipulated eligibility criteria at this point of time. The reasoning of any examination authority is like this: The knowledge possessed by the scribe should be less than that of the candidate. In this particular case, this means that even though the girl’s mother holds only a Bachelor’s degree, enough time has passed for the mother to acquire more knowledge than the daughter. The simple conclusion: she needs a college student as a scribe. She can also have a discussion with the authority, explaining the difficulty of finding a scribe. Of course, I could be wrong, and there might be an entirely different explanation.

She is a post graduate and her scribe was her own mother who did graduation and secured 57%, which, to the best of my knowledge, meets the eligibility criteria for a scribe.

Hello Vamshi, This evening, I went along with my mother to meet the Andhra Bank Chief Manager - Ms.Sarada to take clarity regarding the scribe issue. But, she clearly conveyed that there is absolutely no possibility of using a scribe who has completed her graduation irrespective of the percentage. She infact told that the scribe can only be either a tenth or inter pass and must not have secured more than 60%. I am totally clueless of how to go about it and handle this issue. Kindly request you to help me in this regard. Also request you to support me with the study material for this preparation. Hope I am not troubling you too much. Bye Vamshi, take care.

Re: [AI] How do I get started for Script Writing of Jaws?
Hi, To begin with, you need The Basic Scripting Manual and Freedom Scientific Developer Network. Both files are available from the training download page of FS. Yes, you should read the help topic too. For serious doubts, there is also a Jaws Scripts mailing list at Freelists.org. But my advice would be to first get acquainted with other ways of customizing JFW for windows based applications. These techniques include creating frames, windows reclassification, using the configuration manager, etc. Again the help topics section incorporates information about these tools of customization.

Re: [AI] Accessibility of SAP
Hi, SAP certainly claims that it is possible to use the application with a screen reader, but a number of things have to be taken into consideration. SAP has a number of products and each can be tailored according to the company’s preferences. The individual has to have a strong technical background to cope with these changes. Even though Jaws scripts for SAP can be obtained, they most likely are not updated, and not customized for the needs of the person. A script writer may be required who can create scripts for the specific product. The person also would have to work closely with the SAP support staff. Having said all of that, here are a few links that might help those planning to work with any of the SAP products. http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sm40/helpdata/en/fd/7c4a41edf0db2be1000a1550b0/content.htm Configuring SAP and Jaws http://www.sapdesignguild.org/resources/acc.asp Detailed information on SAP and accessibility http://www.sapdesignguild.org/editions/edition9/gui_acc.asp Jaws scripts Regards Democracy means simply the bludgeoning of the people by the people for the people. ~ Oscar Wilde --- On Thu, 4/9/09, niran public.ni...@gmail.com wrote: From: niran public.ni...@gmail.com Subject: [AI] Accessibility of SAP To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Date: Thursday, April 9, 2009, 7:25 AM Hi, One of my friend who is not a member of this list have a chance of moving to a job in accounts department of his company.

Re: [AI] looking BCom and BBA students and basic tutorials for basic accounting
Shikhar, Jumping from one field to another is generally not easy. If you haven’t found any Accounts instructor, then I would suggest you to look for school or college students who are studying the same subject. You could ask them to give you a crash course in Accountancy as taught in class XI and XII. If this also doesn’t work out, then you would have to travel to Delhi to find a teacher. If you think that you can study the subject by your self, then contact NAB Library to issue Accountancy books of class XI and XII. NAB has books both in e-text and audio format based on the DAISY guidelines. You can find the contact details from the site it self. Nabdelhi.org There is also a branch in Faridabad. Nabfaridabad.com Most colleges in Delhi University offer Bachelor’s of Commerce and you can apply to any of them. As far as I know, no college in the same university offers a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. There is a branch of Birla Institute of Technology Ranchi in Noida that does offer a BBA degree. Certainly there are other private universities that do the same in Delhi. You might also want to have a look at a course called Bachelor’s of Business Studies offered by Shaheed Bhagat Singh College.
