[AI] Making Mumbai Disability friendly city
Hi, As a follow up to my last email in this list about making Mumbai a disability friendly city, I want to inform you that I, along with few other people including XRCVC are working with Mumbai Transformation Support Unit, to submit a recommendation to the MCGM relating to the section dealing with Development for the Physically Challenged in Mumbai DP. Ofcourse implementation is a separate issue, and we should take it up once the DP is passed. For now, I would like to take all suggestions and opinions of anyone and everyone to make sure we are able to make a decent draft. We are referring guidelines of Delhi and other cities around the world. However experience of local residents is most important and that is something we would not like to miss. So please give me your suggestions. I also need help, reaching out to groups of other disabilities, to seek their suggestions. It would be great if any of you can help me do that.

[AI] Lok Satta Party says persons with disabilities in governance can help build an inclusive society and beautiful country
*Mumbai, January 4, 2015:* The Loksatta Party has welcomed the induction of visually impaired individuals by the ruling BJP but said the move should not remain a token gesture. It is through such inclusion of all sections of society that we can build a beautiful country with equal opportunity for all, the party said. It is imperative that persons with disabilities become an integral part of governance systems and have a say in the decision-making process so that issues concerning them are raised on the right platforms and logical steps are taken to make life better for them. “The LSP in Maharashtra has a visually impaired person on its working committee, state LSP general secretary Rajeev D Pai said. There is no point if people with disabilities are made members but not given the opportunity to be part of the decision-making process.” Until that happens, we will not be able to build a truly inclusive society, he said. http://mh.loksatta.org/index.php?option=com_contentview=articleid=477Itemid=60 Regards, Sagar +91 99 30 271732 intouchid: 2010-SAGAR007 http://intch.me/2010-SAGAR007 The evil of the world is made possible only by the sanction you give it. - John Galt in Atlas Shrugged Celebrating Louis Braille birthday Jan4th Register at the dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobile phones / Tabs on: http://mail.accessindia.org.in/mailman/listinfo/mobile.accessindia_accessindia.org.in Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/accessindia@accessindia.org.in/ To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.

And, what a way it was to make them meander around blindfolded. The Bangalore Blind Walk, organised by Project Vision, perhaps went on to disprove the parable ‘a blind man cannot guide another.’ Hundreds took part in the walk that started at the MG Road Metro station and culminated at the Bal Bhavan on the Cubbon Park premises. The volunteers and the blind persons were divided into groups. Each group was led by a blind person and followed buy five to seven blindfolded persons and a volunteer to instruct them on what to watch out for. The walk coincided with the National Eye Donation Fortnight. The aim, say the organisers, is to create awareness about eye donation besides sensitising the public about the daily woes of the visually impaired, who can sense the obstacles only by means of a touch or the white cane. While the ones who were blindfolded were scared to put their step forward, the ones without were completely confident and led others. Kushal (name changed), 15, who is blind by birth and is associated with the Karnataka Welfare Association for the Blind, led a group of seven blindfolded persons. He said, “We walk like this every day, but my blindness is no roadblock for my vision in life. I want to work as a news reader in a TV channel,” he said. Megha, Prateek, Sahathi and Pawan, all students in an engineering college in Electronics City, had come to participate after their professor encouraged them to do so. They said, “It is amazing to know how the ones without eyes walk every day on the roads, while we are needing instruction at every step.” As 200-250 people walked on the pavements alongside the Namma Metro Station, the commuters and onlookers were completely in awe. Many of them instantly volunteered to walk blindfolded. Says Father George Kannanthanam, director of Project Vision, “One third of the world’s blind persons are in our country. Yet, when it comes to eye donation, the numbers are miniscule.” Awareness is also being created as to how the ‘104’ helpline (‘Arogya Vani’) can be utilised for eye donation. Anyone from anywhere in the State can call the number for eye donation and get assistance in contacting the nearest eye bank. Prasanna Kumar Pincha, Chief Disability Commissioner of India, flagged off the Blind Walk. Organisations such as Karnataka Welfare Association for the Blind, Bangalore Malayali Catholic Association and Ramana Maharshi Blind Academy participated. -- Avinash Shahi Doctoral student at Centre for Law and Governance JNU Register at the dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobile phones / Tabs on: http://mail.accessindia.org.in/mailman/listinfo/mobile.accessindia_accessindia.org.in Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/accessindia@accessindia.org.in/ To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.

On 7/20/14, Vikas Kapoor dl.vi...@gmail.com wrote: Govt to issue ID cards for persons with disabilities Moushumi Das Gupta , Hindustan Times New Delhi, July 20, 2014 In a unique initiative aimed at empowering disabled people, the government is planning to issue a pan-India multipurpose identity card to the about 27 million persons with disability (PwD) in India. The card, which will be valid across the country, is likely to be launched next year and will help PwDs to easily avail benefits under various government schemes targeting them. Currently, a disability certificate - issued to persons with over 40% disability - is required for availing government benefits. But there have been instances where a certificate issued by one state or a government department is not accepted by another. The certificate is reviewed all over again by doctors and only when approved, can the person claim entitlement. This often results in PwDs being subjected to harassment. The unique card will do away with this anomaly as it will be valid across India, said a source. The disability affairs department, under the social justice and empowerment ministry, had last week roped in the National Informatics Centre (NIC), Department of Electronics and Information Technology to prepare a detailed project report for rolling out the ID cards. NIC will prepare a centralised database to help identify PwDs by collating data from the census and state governments. They will also design the unique ID and recommend its implementation mechanism, said an official. For issuing the ID card, the ministry has proposed to hire implementation agencies in coordination with state governments. The agencies would be provided a hand held device to scan the disability certificates, take photographs or collect biometrics of the beneficiary. Once the scanned disability certificate is available, data entry operator can centrally verify and enter the data into the database for issuance of a unique ID card, the official added http://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/govt-to-issue-unique-id-cards-for-persons-with-disabilities/article1-1242468.aspx Vikas Kapoor, Mobile: (+91) 9891098137, 9013354994 Skype Id: dl_vikas Register at the dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobile phones / Tabs on: http://mail.accessindia.org.in/mailman/listinfo/mobile.accessindia_accessindia.org.in Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/accessindia@accessindia.org.in/ To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.

To begin with, this alliance is likely to be around the issue of the much talked about RPD Bill. Thus, the writing is on the wall for those handfuls who operate under the banner of a virtually fake and failed group; and, if the developments in the last few weeks over the RPD Bill are anything to go by, poetic justice, particularly for that self-proclaimed self-styled five-star activist is well in sight. While applauding, with utmost sincerity, the timely intervention and initiative of some very well-meaning individuals in putting together a well-knit alliance of a truly representative character, I would take this opportunity of putting together a few suggestions emanating from my random reflections in the larger interests of our common cause. In the first place, the leadership, or for that matter, the convenership, or by whatever nomenclature it is called must rotate at specified intervals preferrably, amongst persons belonging to different categories of disabilities unlike the other group (name of the group being anybody's guess), which, for all practical purposes, is owned or should I say proprietored, by one individual for the las so many years, and whose think tank or coterie does not comprise any person with disability barring he himself. Secondly, the ensuing national disability alliance must work in a spirit of understanding and accommodation come what may. It is also important to recognise that cross disability and uni-disability dimensions of the disability movement are and should be seen as complimentary and not contradictory; and that they can and should coexist in a coherent manner. Thirdly, we must zealously guard against any likely efforts at sabotaging the alliance by vested interests including by that infamous polarising force (his identity being obvious), who not only has divided the sector nationally; but has worked overtime to drive a wedge amongst the constituents of the International Disability Alliance; so much so that his fights with Yanis, the IDA chair and other constituents has long been out in the open; and, friends, the outcome of it all we know and will also get to know more perhaps in the days ahead. Incidentally, Yanis, the Chair of International Disability Alliance happens to be a blind person.I am mentioning these facts with a heavy heart and under a painful necessity so that we may take note of it all. The silverlining is that a sizeable chunk of the disability sector is against the passage of this flawed bill --- hence, the urgency to press for addressing the flaws and inadequacies the said Bill is replete with. I would also suggest that we also need to regularly monitor some relevant international E forumms like the IDA UNCRPD forum. Best regards, Poonam.

[AI] Accessible ATM locator
Hi friends, I am working on making an app that we all could use to locate accessible ATMs. I am using the info provided by Union Bank of India, however the GPS co-ordinates generated from the addresses may not be sufficiently accurate. To improve this data, I would encourage people to help in. At this point we need a few volunteers who can go to any ATM and upload the GPS co-ordinates. In the long run the plan is to create an application to which anyone can contribute data, basically crowd-sourcing the data. Please contact me personally if you can help with any ATM data, especially those in Mumbai. The first version of the app will cover the Mumbai region and we can cover other areas based on input from the community. Anyone willing to help in the development and any suggestions are most welcome. Thanks!

As you all know that NVDA is an open source screen reading software that can be downloaded free of cost from nvaccess.org web site. Its latest version is 2013-2 released just few days ago. There are some good developments related to NVDA here in India. First; A development team is now working right here in India contributing new features and improving the screen reading software. The team is lead by one of our brightest software developer who himself is a screen reading software user. He is Mr. Manish Agrawal. Manish works full time with Sapient Technologies at very senior knowledge resource and he now gives 40% of his time specifically to the NVDA project. He is supported by one more dedicated developer and also very experienced screen reading software tester. IIT Delhi is also putting a team together to work under Manish to contribute in development of NVDA. All these efforts are under a joint project being implemented by CIS and Saksham and supported by enable-India. Thanks to Hans Foundation to provide financial support to run this project. Specific objective of getting a team here in India is to work on priorities set by users in India. The team started its work by concentrating on improving performance of NVDA in Microsoft office applications. Some of the remarkable improvements that Indian team contributed to NVDA include: Added sentence reading command Improved paragraph reading command performance specially with bullets and auto numbering Reading of protected documents in MS word Announcement of suggestions in microsoft outlook in to or cc fields Improvements of speech output in spell check dialogue box Reading of status bar im all office 2010 applications Etc... This list is growing fast and we can all appreciate that how important these features are for us. More important is that we now have developers who are very willing to listen to us and work on what we think are most important features for us in our jobs or educational environments. For example, One major reason due to which I myself was not able to switch to NVDA was that it did not announce auto complete suggestions of mail IDs in Microsoft outlook. Global team had this a very low priority because they always suggested to use thunderbird instead of MS Outlook. I could not make that shift due to my company policy and responsibilities. Indian development team fixed this issue and for past few months I am working very happily full time with NVDA as my full time screen reading software. What this team now wants is that the priorities of bug fixes or new feature requests should be set by the users themselves. So, here comes the opportunity to make a screen reading software work where we find that it is not working. If you would like to report an problem that you are facing use of NVDA or you feel NVDA is not providing information that you need, please report it to: sumandog...@gmail.com Normally there are three releases of NVDA every year. How-ever, if you would like to try out builds of version that NVDA development team in India is releasing, write to Suman with this intension on the e-mail provided above. These releases are issued after every bug fix. These are not ensured for stability and thus only those who would like to test out the new features and provide feedback should get into this mode of using NVDA. Last but not the least, We are getting very close of provide licenses of Eloquence to work with NVDA along with the license of Sangita and Vocaliser voices. Saksham will be providing these licenses in a few weeks to come after testing stability of whole new licensing system. I will also be writing soon about what is being done to add all Indian languages in E-speak TTS. So, keep watch in this area as lot of exciting developments are happening here. Wishing everyone all the best and a happy teacher's day. Dipendra Manocha Register at the dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobile phones / Tabs

Also, once when I was traveling Jet Air, I was just left sitting waiting for the attendant while I was hearing my name being announced over and over again to report to the boarding door like this is the last and final call for Preeti Monga!

Everything expressed in this article is a fact, and needs to be looked at with an open mind.

Thank you Payal for making us read this brilliantly written piece. block quote Like any other experience of life, why shouldn't intimacy and sexuality be a part of disabled people's lives as well? In fact, as a visually impaired person, I feel that intimacy and sexuality is as important a part of disabled people's lives as that of 'normal' people. Yes, disabled people do engage in and enjoy sexual and intimate relations, even though it sometimes depends upon the nature of disability. I would imagine any form of physical disability would make the entire experience of sex more adventurous and uniquely exhilarating. For example, the blind person would want to explore his partner's body inch by inch using all senses other than sight. As blind people make use of their other four senses viz: hearing, smell, touch, and taste to explore the world around them, so do they use these four senses to experience sex. Sense of touch may be used here instead of sight, as partners try to form a mental picture of what the person's body looks like. As they feel Braille dots and form images of alphabets in their mind, so would they use their sense of touch, taste and smell to enjoy the fuller aspects of sexuality, while a sighted person would be more focused on the visual aspects of the physical structure of the body. Their partner's body would seem to them like an unexplored territory arousing a sense of desire and curiosity. Just as s/he learns calculations moving around beads on the abacus or uses tactile diagrams to form mental pictures of maps and places on the globe, s/he would want to indulge in exploring a whole new body inch by inch. While leisure activities outside the home may not be as accessible for the blind, sex can be seen as one activity which can easily be enjoyed in the vicinity of their own home. Sexuality is more related to types of people rather than disability, unless of course the disability hinders the act of sex itself. Among

App a Month - A new Blog Series by Barrierbreak to talk about Mobile App Accessibility. Here's the first one Experience shared by Bhavesh who is blind and is currently an employee of BarrierBreak. Bhavesh chose to review the iPad edition of the Times of India (TOI) app to know whether the app can be accessed by people with disabilities. Why did I choose to review the TOI app? As a blind person, I can listen to the news on the various FM news channels. But how about reading the news on a device on the go? I spend almost 30 minutes daily in traveling and since it's not possible for me to read from a newspaper, I would prefer to get access to news with a device that can read out the news for me. Let's assume that there is an app which allows the user to access the news items, including audio/video content. But what if such contents are not accessible for persons with disabilities? My experience with the TOI app I used Voiceover screen reader to test the app on the iPad. Voiceover is a screen reader built into Apple's OSX and iOS operating systems. By using Voiceover, the user can access their Macintosh or iOS device based on spoken descriptions. As I went through the app, I noticed that they have provided the option to view the app with different font size for low vision users. However, the option (Button) provided to get to font size is unlabeled. The Voiceover simply announced it as Button. That's not all! Majority of the textual buttons and image buttons lack textual description. The textual buttons are announced as button, whereas the image buttons are announced with the image name e.g., Home btn button, City btn button etc throughout the app. Headings help a screen reader user to navigate through different sections of the app. Many screens of the app lacked headings. I wanted to read something from the cricket section. But guess what? When I opened the Cricket section and went through the article list, all the articles were announced as buttons, instead of the title of the article that I had expected to hear. This made me very frustrated. I opened an article by guess work and landed at the bottom of the page of that article. I had to go to the top of the page, read the entire page and find the article. While reading the article, I noticed that many informative images had the absence of alternative text. Alternate text provides the information conveyed through images to the users in the form of text. Alternate text is helpful for users with visual disabilities, learning disabilities, users browsing with text browsers etc to understand the information conveyed using images. Next I decided to give a shot at accessing the videos. I selected a video from the videos screen and that video started playing automatically. Moreover there was no option to stop the video content at the beginning of the video page. Fortunately Voiceover suppresses any audio playing in the background. By far, I feel that the app is completely inaccessible for people with disabilities. Now imagine the plight of a person for whom reading is the only way to access the news, such a person who is deaf-blind? How would they be able to read the news?

Hi, It is nice to see such mature topics being taken up in the forum as well. However i would like to point out that in this article by disabled they mostly refer to someone who has physical difficulty in having sex. I don't think that is the case with visually impaired people, maybe psychological or social challenge, but not physical. So, i think the discussion should be keeping that context in mind.

By MAÏA de la BAUME GRENOBLE, France — In her sexual fantasies, she is a fit and impetuous blonde who dominates her male partners. In real life, she is a virgin who relies on an electric wheelchair, her body touched only by home care aides and medical personnel. France Keyser for The New York Times Laetitia Rebord, receiving home care in Grenoble, is paralyzed. Her disability has scared away many potential sexual partners. “A disabled person is seen as a child,” said the woman in the wheelchair, Laetitia Rebord, 31. “So inevitably, child and sex don’t go together.” A translator and teacher, she has a genetic spinal muscular atrophy that has left her entirely paralyzed, except for her left thumb and her facial muscles. Ms. Rebord, who says she feels physical sensation acutely, has looked for sexual relationships through friends of friends and men on dating sites and even with male escorts. But her disability has scared many away, and she says she is now ready to pay for sex in Switzerland or Germany, where so-called sexual surrogates are legal. Stories like Ms. Rebord’s are far from unusual in France, where behind a facade of sexual freedom, disabled people struggle to have a sex life. But their desires are often disregarded, and while prostitution is legal here, soliciting potential clients and serving as an intermediary between prostitutes and clients are not. The issue of sexual surrogates came up in March, after the National Ethics Committee, which advises the government on health issues, issued a report criticizing the practice as the “unethical use of the human body for commercial purposes.” The report, commissioned in 2011, was approved by government officials, including Marie-Arlette Carlotti, a junior minister responsible for issues involving those with disabilities, who called sexual assistance for disabled people “a form of prostitution.” But encouraged in part by the publicity around “The Sessions,” a 2012 American movie about the sexual awakening of a disabled man by a sexual surrogate, some legislators and associations of disabled people are demanding the legalization of sexual surrogates. “Prostitution is a fake debate; the goals are

Re: [AI] VI persons in politics
This is a very nice topic. There are two aspects to making positive change through politics: First is by through political pressure or mobilizing public opinion. This is where the number game comes in. While visually impaired people are not enough to constitute a vote base, you could have a decent number if you include all disabilities, along with the family of the voters with disabilities. Second way is to directly be part of the process. Which can be done as bureaucrats elected representatives and as advisors to government committees or even panels within political parties. I would like to expand on the first route a little bit. In the current system of First Past The post, having a group spread out makes it less powerful than if it was concentrated. This point has been made before in the discussion. Now, in the coming years there is a good chance that we may switch to a Mixed Proportional Representative System, in wich case the consolidated vote percentage would also count. So this will definetly make the voice of persons with disabilities stronger. Even considering the current First Past The Post system, if you go into the electoral realities, candidates in many cases win by a mere 5% or less of votes. We do not need numbers enough to elect a candidate, we just need enough to make the second position win. So the strategy of building a political pressure group is very much a realistic strategy. Now again the challenge comes in getting people registered to vote, which is a separate topic altogether. I personally believe more and more people with disabilities should join the political process. As people with disabilities we have great insight to the concepts of accessibility, standardization, and on the other hand the need for flexibility. Such insight along with the presumed sincerity of person with disability, is a great combination to have in a political leader. Again, it does not mean winning or even contesting, it could simply be being involved in committees within political parties and also those formed by government. Would like others opinions on this Sagar +91 99 30 271732 intouchid: 2010-SAGAR007 http://intch.me/2010-SAGAR007 The evil of the world is made possible only by the sanction you give it. - John Galt in Atlas Shrugged On Tue, Jun 18, 2013 at 8:26 AM, Apoorv Kulkarni apoorvkulka...@gmail.comwrote: Dear all, This is turning out to be an interesting discussion.

Re: [AI] Views Invited: Legal issues in an insurance contract for people with disabilities.
I agree with Harish and would like to add a few more points: In the first place, there is no reason why the factor of disability should be considered. A person's lifestyle, workplace is not considered is it. Why should such invasion of privacy be allowed in case of any disability. Most disabilities are invisible, some are easily visible. So, Even if risk is to be assessed, it will not be simply based on the single factor of disability. It also depends on accessibility of infrastructure, alternatives available to the person to accomplish the same task, government support, health services, the attitude of the person (some might be too adventurous others who simply don't move around much). All of these factors affect the risk involved. It is impossible to calculate it, and saying this or that disability means higher risk of x percentage is over simplification. There is one genuine case, for example if i have a heart problem and need some regular treatment. There is a higher chance of high medical bills and therefore medical claims. So any terms set by an insurer relating to diagnosed disorders and treatments directly as a result of those are probably the only genuine case where greater risk can be adjusted for.

Well, both arguments seem to sustain with each other. While it is true that people with disability do not suffer accidents due to their disability in most of the cases, but at the same time it is also true that out of a contract of insurance, the only profit which an insurer makes is the premium which anyone pays provided that the event insured never takes place. In such a case, if the cause of the event is accident due to disability, then the risk of the insurer certainly increases. It is also true that each government is responsible to us for providing infrastructure, but in practicality, it does not exist today. So in such cases, though bodies like LIC can be made accountable on the ground of public welfare objective, but what happens in case of private insurance? It is also correct to say that regulator generally do not make distinction while enforcing any regulations, and as on date I.R.D.A. has nothing on disability related issues in terms of regulation. I.R.D.A. is a growing regulator, but it is not wrong to say that they are not as receptive as the regulators like RBI and SEBI are. History proves that. I have two key suggestions here: 1. That whenever any disability related insurance is provided, then fixed additional charge if any, should be deducted at the time of processing claim, if the surveyor's report shows that the accident took place because of the disability as a main cause. And no additional premium should be put on the insured. This should only apply to accidents that too while walking on road, and in no other case. (I cannot think of any other circumstance which could lead to accident due to disability of any kind) 2. While assessing any claim, the disability expert should be accompanied with the surveyor so to see that there is no undue advantage being taken by the insurance company while processing the claim as regards the disability of the insured. I am open to suggestions. Regards, -- Amar Jain.

Re: [AI] Views Invited: Legal issues in an insurance contract for people with disabilities.
Hi All, The extra premium does have a logical basis, in terms of being at increased risk. Now it depends on the disability and the accident if such increased risk is valid or not. For example, crossing the road, might be considered more riskier if you are blind compared to if you are normally sighted. The tricky part is, this risk is difficult to calculate, and there is a very fine line between such calculation and discrimination. A possible solution could be that in cases where disability plays a major role in an injury the insurance company should be allowed to claim part or all of the money in turn from the owner of the premises where the accident happens. This makes sense because the discrimination or risk is actually due to lack of accessible/inclusive infrastructure. This would also push private builders and government to make infrastructure accessible.

Re: [AI] Views Invited: Legal issues in an insurance contract for people with disabilities.
I think you misunderstood me, Akhil. Anyway I agree with Harish that the first step would be using stats to figure out if it is riskier or not. If so, the risk is due to inaccessibility and not disability. So if the insurance company wants any remedy for that they should go to the owners of the premises where an incident occurs.

Re: [AI] How to stop iPhone from shifting output voice to speaker while on call
Reading other replies, i guess i should explain a little more. Firstly, this is perfectly normal, nothing abnormal in it. When on a call the phone screen either has the keypad, or has six buttons. Three on top and three below. The one on top right, is the Speaker option which would have been selected if your speaker starts suddenly mid call. You can simply select and tap it to switch it off. As Rahul said, you can simply pull the phone away and take it back to your ear. It is the fastest way to get back to handset mode.

Re: [AI] How to stop iPhone from shifting output voice to speaker while on call
About wearing the headset, one difficulty i have faced is the phone goes on 'Speaker' mode. That is the output of voice comes in the ear phones itself but the mic records everything, instead of focussing on my voice. In speaker mode the mic records everything generally but when the phone is close to the ear, the mic follows the main voice that is it filters out background voice. Is there anyway to ensure that happens even when the phone is not next to my ear and my earphones are connected?

Re: [AI] 13th Anniversary Celebrations with Development Communication Workshop
Hi everyone, I was at this event last Sunday, and it was an amazing experience. We learnt a lot about communication skills, and it was a total roller coaster of humour. I wanted to thank Sushmeeta for organizing this event, not only is the training important, but Sushmeeta managed to get one of the best to do the job. It was also very encouraging to see her leading the organization. Finally, it is we who have to work for ourselves, and Voice Vision and Sushmeeta are perfect examples of that.

Regards Wahid -- Forwarded message -- Georgie, a smartphone app for the visually impaired, now available Applications, News, By Chris Parsons | Jul 13 2012 | 2:44 pm | 3 Comments Addressing the smartphone market for the visually impaired is an ongoing task. Over the years, there have been plenty of advancements in this area with the introduction of numerous applications, voice technology and on screen accessibility features but now a new entrant into the market is seeking to help folks as well. Screenreader, a not-for-profit company, has now introduced the Android based Georgie app in the U.K where there 1 in every 30 people suffer from some sort of visual impairment. Using existing Samsung phones like the Samsung XCover and Galaxy Ace 2, picked specifically to be easy to use for blind users, Georgie offers a whole new experience by allowing for such things as managing contacts, using speech input to send text messages and tag previous routes or hazards (like potholes or low hanging branches) using navigation apps. Georgie is available for purchase on the Google Play Store in a number of different packages. The base package with all features is available for £299 with additional feature sets available for £149. You can look at the full press release below or check out the source link for video on how Georgie works on devices. Source: ScreenReader World's first smartphone for blind people available today Georgie, a smartphone designed for blind people, by blind people, is launching today to transform the lives of the almost 2 million people in the UK living with sight loss. Developed by not-for-profit social enterprise Screenreader and available through exclusive partners Sight and Sound Technology, the new smartphone includes apps built specifically to help blind users navigate day-to-day obstacles like catching a bus, reading printed text and knowing their exact whereabouts in unfamiliar areas. Tasks more commonly associated with smartphones like using Twitter, reading text messages and taking a picture have also been updated to be much easier to use and accessible to visually impaired people for the first time. Georgie is available from £299, or the unique features are available to download as an app for anyone with an existing Android smartphone from £149. Founded by blind husband and wife team Roger and Margaret Wilson-Hinds, Screenreader had a clear idea about how a smartphone should be for visually impaired users, so enlisted Alan Kemp as Chief Technical Officer to bring the idea to fruition. Georgie, named after Margaret's first Golden Labrador guide dog, is the work of 18 months of development and testing, working closely with the blind community for their feedback. Georgie makes use of Google's Android operating system and existing Samsung phones like the Samsung XCover and Galaxy Ace 2, picked specifically to be easy to use for blind users. The large buttons on an uncluttered screen, voice feedback whenever the screen's touched and an innovative way to select the desired option also make the basic functions of the phone easier to use for visually impaired people, as well as those unfamiliar with modern technology. I was able to send my very first text just earlier this year thanks to Georgie said Screenreader co-founder Roger Wilson-Hinds. It's exactly that type of digital experience we want to make easily available to people with little or no sight. More than that though, it's also going to help solve every day problems for blind people so they can be more confident about navigating the real world and become independent. Glenn Tookey, CEO of Sight and Sound Technology added Companies like Apple and Google have done a good job of adding accessibility tools to smartphones, but Georgie is the first smartphone solution developed with the visually impaired in mind. For that reason Georgie offers relevant features which, coupled with our expertise in offering customer support to the blind community, makes for a really exciting, well supported product that we're proud to exclusively distribute. Out of the box Georgie comes with features to let users dial a number with the voice assisted touchscreen, manage contacts, use speech input to send text messages and tag previous routes or

There are these Multi-select list boxes on webbsites where you can select a list of cities etc. and your selection is placed in the next box. And you can rearrange your selection in the selection box based on your prefference. Illustration as follows: Two boxes next to each other. In the box on the left you have the multi select list box, now this box can have city names like Bangalore, Chennai, Pune, Calcutta etc. Where as the box on the right is empty and will be filled only after you select the cities from the left list box. A user can select multiple cities from the box on the left, and this selection will be placed in the right list box now. A user can also reorder his selection in the right list box, which includes removing a selection made by mistake. I hope this is making some sense. My question is how do we as screen reader users accomplish this task? I am using JAWS 13 and my IE version is 8. On some blog I read the instructions below, but they did not work on this site where I had to make such selections. The website for you to test it is: http://bangalore.click.in/classifieds/61/post.html Instructions from a blog of JAWS users as follows: select multiple items in an extended list box when performing the following steps, To make multiple selections in an extended list box: navigate to the extended list box and press enter to turn on forms mode. Press SHIFT+F8 to turn on Multi-Select mode. Use your UP and DOWN ARROW to move through the list, and press SPACEBAR to make your appropriate selections. Press SHIFT+F8 to turn off Multi-Select mode again when you have all the desired items selected. Note: You can now proceed to complete the form. So please try the above instructions and let me know if you were successfull in at least selecting items from the multi select list box.

Re: [AI] regarding horse riding which is alternative for vehicle
Very good thinking Shreyas!! It is important to think out of box like that. there is an issue with horse riding Firstly your feet are not on ground so understanding where you are is kind of difficult Secondly, horses will not be allowed into buildings or airports. Thirdly, the problem of horse shit is a very big problem, infact it was one of the main reasons we designed cars in the first place! But yeah, guide dogs are good alternatives. And we are at the stage where even thinking about auto pilot cars is not fantasy!

Re: [AI] GPS for Mobility
The thing is, mobile computing has kind of come to a new generation today. When apple came out with the iPhone, it revolutionized the way phones work. After that Google came up with Android. Windows to move into phone did this by joining hands with Nokia So currently there are three major operating systems: iOS Android Windows Phone You will notice even the new thread about talking Chess, is made on these 3 platforms. So i would suggest, all of us to keep this in mind when buying a new cell phone.

[AI] India against corruption
Hi guys, I feel that as actively we support legal issues relating to visually challenged and persons with disabilities, we should also support something that affects each one of us including the rest of the country. I feel if visually impaired also get into the field of this movement against corruption, it will do great deal for governance in India. I want to know what others feel on this.

Re: [AI] solve capture cord
Hi Varun, I believe you mean Captcha code instead of capture cord? If so, you can use a firefox add-on called web wisum. You will first need firefox for this. The add-on gives you the code which u can paste in the textbox.
