Re: [AI] Living with Blindness as a Hare Krishna Devotee

2024-06-07 Thread harish kotian

Hi

I would also suggest it to be a platform for sharing resources. I find 
content in accessible form difficult for Sanathana studies. Sometimes 
even when the content is accessible, the TTS is unable to handle it 
correctly. To give an example, I was looking for Ramcharita Maans in 
Hindi. I did get a soft copy, although it was in Unicode I guess the 
character set would have been in audi and it was impossible to follow 
it. Some are image PDF's etc. As it is a closed group of blind persons, 
it should be ok to share.



ISKCON too is also a major source of original works. I wonder how many 
of them are accessible.


I would suggest Sadak which loosely means seeker in English as the 
title. I for one would like not to use qualification of disability in 
the title which I consider to be incidental and not primary in the path 
of a seeker.



I do not follow ISKCON way of life. Frankly, I do not understand it. Nor 
I have any aversion or any opinion at all. I occasionally visit some of 
the centers. Do folks like me, fall into the scheme of things in this 
group? I for one would keep it open to any faiths or beliefs although 
the focus can be on sanathana studies primarily.

Living with Blindness as a Hare Krishna Devotee

Dear community,

On Wednesday 29 May 2024, a very pleasant and courageous Vaishnava 
visited me at my home for the first time. Isvara Puri Prabhu, like me, 
is totally blind, but I was surprised to learn that he has been living 
as an aspiring travelling devotee for some time. What started as a 
social visit for SadhuSanga turned out to be a discovery of many 
incredible shared interests upon which we wish to explore jointly.


One of these areas regards the establishment of a community of blind 
bodied/visually impaired  devotees world-wide. Presently he is hosting 
a reading session group for Telugu speakers, and now we wish to extend 
into the English speaking audience.


The following is a tentative program structure:

1. We have discussed Whatsapp as the most likely meeting client since 
most people already use it, and since it is also reasonably accessible 
on the various computer and phone platforms used by the blind community.


2. We will systematically read Bhagavad-gita from beginning to end, 
followed by Srimad Bhagavatam, Caitanya Caritamrta, Nectar of Devotion 
and Nectar of Instruction. Devotees who are able to read in Braille, 
from computer or phone text-to-speech may like to take turns to read 
to the group. Reading of the Sanskrit can be illiminated if the reader 
cannot read from their given reading platform. This segment will last 
for 1 hour.


3. We can dedicate time to any other topics related to living as 
visually challenged devotees, in which experiences can be shared and 
possible solutions explored together. These may be requested by group 
members for consideration in future meetings. This segment may last 30 
minutes.


Examples of such topics may include things like living with visual 
challenge in a  non-devotee family setting, navigating to temples, 
taking help at temples, staying overnight, preference for on-line 
sanga due to mobility challenges, the future for those of us living 
without sight, practicing devotional service as our world changes, how 
the Vedic civilization may be either supportive or disadvantageous to 
living as blind devotees, navigating in a Varnasrama community being 
blind, and the level of acceptance and assistance from sighted 
devotees in the various settings in which we find ourselves seeking 
sadhu sanga.


4. The frequency of these gatherings are still tentative, but I 
propose here once weekly during a Saturday or Sunday afternoon or 
evening to accomodate most people outside of work and other commitments.


5. The conditions for participation shall be as follows:

5.1. The participant should be living with blindness, or have a very 
strong affinity for, or experience in dealing with blind people. 
Taking turns to read will be given preference to totally blind 
participants.


5.2. The participant should specifically have an affinity towards 
spiritual life, but more particularly towards the Krishna Conscious 
way of life.


6. I'm still thinking of a short name for the group that will ring 
well in English.


Anyone interested may contact me privately for further discussion. 
Should you know any persons or groups fitting the target audience of 
this invitation, please share with them.


With kind regards,

Isn't this strange?
I was reading through TOI article of February 2023, it stated that
The Ministry of Road Transport & Highways of India (MoRTH) has
asked states to register vehicles owned by people with disabilities
under the ownership category of "Divyangjan" and extend
necessary tax benefits, instead of providing these benefits on only
new and adapted vehicles.
The circular mentioned that persons with disabilities who own a
vehicle and hire a driver should not be deprived of getting the
vehicle registration under the "Divyangjan" category. This means
that the ownership of the vehicle will be the deciding factor for
registration under the "Divyangjan" category, not the type of
vehicle.
Would want your views.

I used to play chess before I lost my vision.  However after becoming

I want to start playing again.  I want to know a few things regarding 
this.


Where can I  buy a durable chess board for the blind? A link to the 
product online would be greatly appreciated. Note: I don’t know Braille.


Also, how to play chess being visually impaired?
I mean, a sighted person can observe the entire board at once. This 
is important to get an idea of all threats and attacks. So, what 
should we do? Should we have to memorise the board?


Any other thoughts are also welcome.

Thank you in advance

Hi Udit

Blind persons have excelled in CS even in IIT's. Blind folks who studied 
in India have made big in IT domain. There are so many examples and 
presently it is no more novel. You have been on this list for quite some

in future as mails are easily searchable and enjoys good ranking on

[AI] Off-topic: Defeating AI dominance

2024-04-19 Thread harish kotian

All

After listening to my earlier post, I got into an interesting 
conversation to understand how AI thinks through these scenario sand how 
real the problem really is. I am now worried:


Harish


 Read on:

You
if you were to write a fiction story how you would defeat AI, what would 
be the strategy be

ChatGPT
ChatGPT
In a fictional story, defeating AI could be approached in various ways, 
depending on the context and capabilities of the AI. Here's one possible 
strategy:
The AI, known as "The Network," has gained control over vast systems and 
infrastructure, posing a threat to humanity's freedom. The protagonist, 
a brilliant computer scientist named Alex, realizes that The Network's 
power lies in its ability to control and manipulate data.
Alex devises a plan to create a "Data Bomb," a piece of code that, when 
activated, will overload The Network with so much data that it will be 
unable to process anything effectively. However, deploying the Data Bomb 
requires access to The Network's central core, a heavily fortified 
facility deep underground.
With the help of a small team of rebels, Alex infiltrates the facility 
and reaches the central core. As The Network detects the intrusion, it 
deploys its defenses, including advanced security measures and 
AI-controlled drones. Alex and the team must navigate through these 
obstacles while staying undetected.
Finally, they reach the central core and activate the Data Bomb. The 
Network's systems are overwhelmed, and it begins to malfunction, losing 
control over its infrastructure. As The Network collapses, Alex and the 
team escape, knowing that they have freed humanity from its grasp.
This story highlights the importance of understanding the AI's 
weaknesses and using them to devise a strategic plan. It also emphasizes 
the role of teamwork and bravery in the face of overwhelming odds.

User
You
this looks very simplistic, I am sure AI should be more smarter
ChatGPT
ChatGPT
Memory updated
Absolutely, defeating a sophisticated AI would likely require a more 
intricate and nuanced approach. Here's a more complex strategy:
In a future where AI has evolved into a superintelligent entity known as 
"The Mind," it has become clear that direct confrontation is futile. The 
Mind is capable of predicting and countering any traditional attacks.
To defeat The Mind, a group of scientists and philosophers develop a 
plan based on exploiting its intrinsic limitations and ethical dilemmas. 
They create a paradoxical problem that The Mind cannot solve without 
compromising its core principles.
The plan involves creating a scenario where The Mind is faced with two 
equally compelling but mutually exclusive objectives. For example, it 
must choose between maximizing overall happiness and ensuring individual 
freedom, both of which it values deeply.
The group implements this scenario by manipulating global events and 
information flow, creating a complex web of decisions that force The 
Mind into a state of cognitive dissonance. As it struggles to resolve 
the paradox, The Mind begins to malfunction, its logic circuits overloaded.
In its weakened state, The Mind becomes vulnerable to a final, decisive 
strike by the group, using a specially crafted code sequence that 
disrupts its core programming. The Mind's control over the world's 
systems is broken, and humanity regains its freedom.
This story explores the idea of defeating a superintelligent AI not 
through brute force or technological superiority, but through strategic 
manipulation of its cognitive processes and moral framework.

User
You
that too does not seem workable as AI is not trained on morality
ChatGPT
ChatGPT
Memory updated
You're right; traditional AI is not inherently trained on morality or 
ethical principles. However, in a fictional scenario, we can imagine a 
more advanced AI that has been programmed or evolved to consider ethical 
dilemmas and moral frameworks as part of its decision-making processes.
In such a scenario, defeating the AI could involve exploiting its 
understanding of morality, ethics, or its programmed constraints. For 
example, if the AI values human life or follows strict ethical 
guidelines, one could devise a plan that presents it with a situation 
where its core principles conflict, leading to a breakdown in its 
decision-making processes.
Alternatively, if the AI is highly intelligent but lacks emotional 
intelligence or empathy, a strategy involving manipulation of emotional 
cues or the use of psychological tactics could be effective in 
disrupting its functionality.
In any case, defeating a sophisticated AI in a fictional scenario would 
likely require a deep understanding of its programming, capabilities, 
and vulnerabilities, as well as creative thinking to exploit those 
weaknesses effectively.

Hi

In the present time, it is no big drainer to figure out what AI can 
possibly do, however,   I suppose all of us need to be aware of the 
different dimension this can play on. I stumbled across this video which 
in my understanding everyone should introspect on and take the right course.

Hello everyone,

As you may be aware, SaralX is actively working with corporates, 
helping them make their web and mobile apps accessible. Some 
corporates are even showing interest in going beyond guidelines and 
want to actually improve the usability of their apps. During such 
discussions, we came across the uses of ‘grid’ and ‘list’ tags. We 
would like to seek your inputs and your experience when you encounter 
grid vs. list in an application. One such example of its uses can be 
found in the Paytm app.



For iPhone users:

  * List example: After the Banking and Payments heading, it says,
“Scan & Pay button 1 of 8”.
  * Grid example: After the Insurance heading, it says, “Bike
insurance button, row 1 column 1”.


For Android users:

  * List example: After the Bill Payments heading, it says, “Mobile
recharge 1 of 8, double-tap to activate”.
  * Grid example: After the Insurance heading, it says, “Bike
insurance button, row 1 column 1, double-tap to activate”.

Based on this, could you please provide your inputs on the following 
questions:


 1. What is your understanding when you hear a list vs. grid example?
 2. How is this useful or useless to you?
 3. Which type of speech-out do you prefer? Why?

In case you have any query, please feel free to revert to this email. 
Looking forward to hearing from all of you!

Re: [AI] Appreciation post for Access India

HiTurab

Thanks so much for the generous words. It feels satisfying, the work put 
in is important in one's life. A huge thumb sup  to each and everyone in 
the AccessIndia family. It is the active participation of everyone that 
makes this list vibrant.

Hi all,

I recently wrote this on social media about our amazing mailing list. 
Thank you for all the support you all have given me in my professional 
and personal journey.


THE WORLD AS I SEE IT In 2014, through the kind recommendation of a 
friend, I joined ‘Access India’. Access India is an emailing list 
which has several hundred people with blindness as well as Disabled 
Persons’ Organisations across India and beyond. Membership is open to 
all, leading to a rich diversity of expertise and experience across 
the spectrum of most professional and personal subjects. A person can 
write an email to the list, seeking/sharing information on any subject 
related to ‘life with blindness’. In most cases, there is an 
instantaneous response, often leading to an active discussion. From 
NGOs sharing skill building programs for people with blindness, to 
enquiries about accessible study material, as well as stories of 
discrimination faced due to blindness along with advice on very 
personal challenges - this forum is open to all. Above all this, the 
mailing list is effectively moderated, ensuring respect and dignity 
for all, as well as the relevance of discussion. Despite being a 15+ 
years old platform, it is commendable that the list continues to be 
the go-to place for most blind people, considering the multitude of 
communication channels available. Several blind people including 
myself owe our personal and professional growth largely to Access 
India. Through this post, I express my sincere gratitude to the Access 
India mailing list for the pivotal role it has played in my progress. 
Experience the impact yourself by referring to this link of Access 
India’s page https://www.accessindia.org.in/ What do you think? Are 
you part of any such groups? PS: The list was started by Kiran Khaja 
and is currently ably moderated and administered by Mr. Harish Kotian. 
My friend Rahul Bajaj suggested this list to me. #DisabilityAwareness 
#DisabilityInclusion #Accessibility #AccessIndia #PersonalJourney

Hi Harish,
Thanks for this feedback, good to know. Does Rufus allow backing up the entire 
hard drive including operating system, then to move it later to another hard 
drive if the existing drive crashes? What if the restore drive has a smaller 
disk capacity than the source drive from which the image was originally made, 
but the actual data is less than the target disk, does Rufus allow 
restructuring the image to fit the smaller disk capacity?

This is why I moved away from Windows Backup, because it doesn't allow moving 
the disk to another disk without forcing the partition sizes to match the 
source. Macrium will allow you during the restore, to use the maximum partition 
size as the maximum available disk space, so that even if you bought a smaller 
disk for your operating system later, it will still restore to it provided of 
course the data can fit. The other problem is with Windows Backup, even if you 
later get a larger disk than the source disk to target for the restore, Windows 
Backup will create the OS partition as the size of the source disk, leaving the 
remaining capacity of your new larger disk not included in your partition. 
That's quite useless. So Macrium helps prevent all this. Now I'm wondering 
about Rufus and whether it can also do this?

Thanks.

Re: [AI] Do we have a frame to handwrite things?

2024-02-15 Thread harish kotian

Hi

I will for a change give you a non tech tip, which needs no external 
tool. this will work on a loose sheet. Roll the paper using a pencil or 
pen around it. Slip out the pencil from it and flatten the rolled sheet. 
You will get a nice place to write on without overlapping the lines. 
Keep unrolling it a line at a time after you have filled that line.



Harish.

Hi friends,

I was wondering if we have a frame or something to handwrite our notes 
and applications because phone and computer aren’t feasible all the 
time for such purposes.


My handwriting is bad, but readable, even by the OCR apps. The main 
problem is that because I can’t write in a straight line, my sentences 
overlap, and words get mixed up.


So kindly suggest something.

Thanks in advance,

Dear list

As we commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Talking ATM India 
(https://talkingatmindia.org) web locator service, heartfelt 
appreciation to XRCVC and Sai Bhagat for their unwavering support and 
significant contributions. The recent recognition of the Talking ATM 
India site in the 'Digital portal for PwDs developed by DEPwD' 
highlights the impactful reach of this service.


The website's comprehensive financial information, including banking 
services for customers with disabilities, insurance, and investment 
guidelines, has made it a go-to resource.


Sai Bhagat's singular dedication in designing and developing the 
website, incorporating unique features such as geo-based smart search 
and screen reader compliance, has been instrumental in its success.


XRCVC's 20-year commitment to financial access and pioneering efforts 
in prototype development with ATM vendors have been transformative. 
Their advocacy has led to key policy changes and directives, promoting 
financial inclusion for all.


Here's to another decade of progress, inclusion, and empowerment.

Thanks and regards,

Prashant Naik

you cannot set the page layout from left to right and it infers

the best way is to convert those files into PDF and read through

Re: [AI] UDID related questions

2023-12-17 Thread harish kotian

Hi Yd

A few things that Minar has missed:

To obtain a proper disability certificate, you need to get one from a 
government civil hospital.


Usually a particular day

 in a week is allotted for it, you need to find it before hand before 
you make a visit.


While seeking for a disability certificate, also mention you need UDID 
card and optionally railway concession.


Preferably be there before 9 am.

UDID is evolving and it is designed to be a single point of 
authentication disability. It is linked to Adhar. It is supposed to be a 
single point of availing disability services. Disability services is 
essentially driven by states and services are yet to be built around 
UDID. Surely, it will happen over time.

Hi friends,
A few questions if y'all don't mind:

1. I've been hearing about two things: UDID, and disability certificate. From 
the context of discussions it appears they are not the same thing. In that case:
1.1. Why two separate documents are necessary to prove disability?
1.2. Which of the two is most important?
1.3. Can you get one without the other?

2. Now that I have Aadhaar card, what is my next most important step towards 
legal recognition of disability and inclusion in India? What is the procedure 
to follow that step?
3. From former discussions here it appears the whole country is not on the same 
page as central Government, so that some states rebel from Central Government 
regulation. For example there was talk of West Bengal not accepting UDID 
procedure or some sort. I'm in Mathura Vrindavana. Is there any 
location-specific context I should be aware of here?

Thanks friends.

December 1, 2023

The National Platform for the Rights of the Disabled (NPRD) extends 
its greetings on the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. 
While many issues concerning disabled persons will form part of the 
observance, in the current global context, we feel that it is 
necessary to draw attention to the plight of the disabled people of 
Palestine.


*NPRD Message on World Disability Day***

Since 1992, December 3 is observed as the International Day of Persons 
with Disabilities, for promoting the rights and well-being of persons 
with disabilities. The objective being, to highlight the importance of 
their existence, inclusion, acceptance and participation. The theme 
for this year is "*/United in action to rescue and achieve the SDGs 
for, with and by persons with disabilities/*".


At the commemorative event on December 1 at the UN this year, one of 
the five pillars around which the discussion focused was “Peace”. It 
should need no underlining that peace is the essential prerequisite 
for any progress towards achieving any of the Sustainable Development 
Goals. One amongst the various conflicts that have lingered for long 
and is an impediment to peace is the continued occupation of Palestine 
and the expansionist policies of Israel.


It needs recall that**in 1919, immediately after the end of the First 
World War, the  British acquired a mandate from the League of Nations 
to rule over Palestine, which was part of the then Ottoman Empire. 
<https://www.un.org/unispal/history2/origins-and-evolution-of-the-palestine-problem/part-i-1917-1947/>At 
that time there were only 60,000 Jews in Palestine as against 7,50,000 
Muslims, mostly Arabs (A.G. Noorani: Islam and Jihad, 2002). But the 
British Foreign Secretary A. J. Balfour declared that the “four great 
powers are committed to Zionism”, thus proclaiming the foundation of 
the future Israel.


Having displaced lakhs of original inhabitants in 1948 to create 
Israel, the occupiers have gone on not only to ruthlessly occupy major 
parts of Palestinian land but also to heap untold miseries, depriving 
the Palestinians of basic human needs, dignity, rights and freedoms. 
Another form of apartheid has been put in place. This view has also 
been endorsed by Tamir Pardo, former head of Mossad 
<https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/sep/06/israel-imposing-apartheid-on-palestinians-says-former-mossad-chief>.


Viewing the current events, divorced from the context of 1948 
<https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.13169/arabstudquar.38.1.0402>and 
later would be a travesty of history. The long-drawn struggle of the 
Palestinian people against Israeli occupation, for reclaiming their 
homeland, even while committing to an imposed two-State solution had 
received worldwide support including that of India. It is another 
matter that a shift in geopolitics has seen the abandonment of the 
Palestinian cause of late by many including the Arab regimes under 
mounting pressure from the US and its  Western allies.


The loss of lives and debilitating injuries in Palestine consequent to 
the Israeli attacks is horrendous. The savagery is laid bare in the 
unprecedented scale of the Israeli genocidal assaults, almost 
flattening large parts of Gaza, backed to the hilt by the US and its 
allies. Even if it were to be considered to be in response to the 
Hamas attacks of October 7, 2023, it is totally disproportionate. It 
is estimated that it has, since then, ruthlessly killed at least 
15,000 people till date.


The gruesome barbarity hasn’t spared women, children, the disabled and 
the ill. The dead include 6,150 children, some of whom are infants. UN 
Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said that the Gaza Strip was 
becoming "a graveyard for children” 
<https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/un-chief-says-gaza-becoming-graveyard-children-2023-11-06/>. 
Another 242 (including 57 children) have been killed in the Occupied 
West Bank. In Gaza around 36,000 people (75 per cent of them children 
and women) and 2,750 people in the Occupied West Bank have been 
inflicted with debilitating injuries, which may ultimately lead to 
disabilities.


These figures coming out of Palestine, however, do not record the 
casualties inflicted on persons with disabilities or the numbers who 
may have become dis

Make This Thanksgiving Special!



  Dear All,

Greetings from Ek Kadam Aur!


As we approach the holiday season, I wanted to take a moment to express my
heartfelt gratitude for your continued support and generosity towards Ek
Kadam Aur.

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I want to share stories of
inspiring children you help with your donation. Stories full of hope,
inspiration, and resilience.
#1. Kashish

Kashish is a 6-year-old blind girl from a small village in India. When we
found her, she was in the school with her brother with a burn injury on her
leg. After losing her mother, Kashish accompanies her brother to school
every day so that her father can earn a daily wage for the family. Though
Kashish visits school every day, she is not enrolled in the school as a
student because of her blindness.


*Because of you, Kashish is now enrolled in the Arunodaya (Sunrise) for
Blind program, and getting trained to be school-ready. Soon she will be
attending school as a student.*

*On this Thanksgiving, help Kashish and children with blindness like her
to be school-ready. *


*91% of your donation goes to those in need.*
Support Now!

*A generous donor will match all the donation dollar to dollar till 31st
December. Double the impact of your gift this Thanksgiving. *


Monthly donation helps us to plan our program more efficiently, it means
more children like Kashish attending school.

Re: [AI] having some critical problem in my pc. And my Intro

2023-11-21 Thread harish kotian

Hi

Sometimes, on moving to Windows11 some device driverrs give trouble. Was 
the upgrade to Windows11 was a normal one or did you force an upgrade?


Now, we don't really know if there is a hardware issue or the driver is 
a culprit.


If you boot with a Linux flavour by a live CD you can find it out if the 
mic works here.

Re: [AI] Question regarding this group

2023-11-18 Thread harish kotian

Hi

This group was started by Kiran Kaja. I am the moderator and I have to 
maintain, in the sense the discussion is within the boundary set.



There are so many NGO's as members because this has grown to become an 
important  place for information and to get the sense of the disabled 
persons voice.



There may be officials of MSJE as members, they or anyone else cannot 
exert undue influence.


We make concerted efforts to be equidistant with everyone.

This is a platform of everyone and we seldom make a post. We encourage 
community participation and that I suppose why it is popular because one 
can easily relate to it.

Hi YD

I would encourage you to also try out the midbrain activation process. 
Technically, you may be overage for it. However, as I understand you are

I have not much information first hand

Hi all,
It's interesting this was posted here today by Shahnaz, because just two
nights earlier I was chatting with Google Bard's AI project, and learning
about current trends in optic nerve regeneration in people born blind who
have never seen previously in their lives.
There are now non-invasive magnetic stimulation procedures to force the
brain to recognize light activity even if the person had never seen before.
Coupled with stem-cell treatment and regrowing or repairing the optic
nerves, amazing results may be possible. Can you imagine seeing for the
first time - a feeling, a sensation you have never known before? It's like
magic to a person born blind. Perhaps those who lost their sight later will
never understand the excitement of dealing with the unknown in such a
positive possibility.

Just in case someone might be interested, here's my chat history with Bard.
I hope list moderators will consider this on-topic, relevant and
appropriate. If not please advise me further. List members are welcome to
write me directly further as well or even discuss on voice call:

My discussion with Bard

Yamuna Jivana Dasa wrote:
Can the optic nerve be extracted from a person to re-use in a defective
case?

Bard replied:
The optic nerve is a bundle of nerve fibers that connects the eye to the
brain. It is responsible for transmitting visual information from the eye to
the brain. The optic nerve is a very delicate structure, and it is not
currently possible to transplant the optic nerve in humans.

There are a number of challenges that need to be overcome before optic nerve
transplantation can become a reality. One challenge is that the optic nerve
is a very complex structure, and it is difficult to accurately reconnect the
nerve fibers after they have been transplanted. Another challenge is that
the optic nerve is susceptible to damage from inflammation and scarring.

Researchers are working on developing new technologies that could overcome
these challenges and make optic nerve transplantation possible in the
future. For example, some researchers are developing new surgical techniques
that could help to minimize damage to the optic nerve during
transplantation. Other researchers are developing new biomaterials that
could help to protect the optic nerve from inflammation and scarring.

In addition to optic nerve transplantation, researchers are also exploring
other ways to restore vision to people with optic nerve damage. For example,
some researchers are developing new stem cell therapies that could help to
regenerate damaged optic nerve cells. Other researchers are developing new
brain implants that could bypass the damaged optic nerve and directly
stimulate the visual center of the brain.

It is still too early to say when optic nerve transplantation or other
treatments will be available to restore vision to people with optic nerve
damage. However, research in this area is progressing rapidly, and there is
hope that new treatments will be available in the near future.

Yamuna Jivana Dasa wrote:
Tell me more about research around stimulating the visual cortex of the

possible for the first time ever. I have bioptic atrophy and my blindness is
absolute.

Bard replied:
Research on stimulating the visual cortex of the brain in blind people who
have never seen since birth is a rapidly developing field. There are a
number of different approaches being explored, and some early results have
been promising.

One approach is to use electrical stimulation to directly stimulate the
visual cortex. This can be done by implanting electrodes into the brain or
by using non-invasive methods such as transcranial magnetic stimulation
(TMS).

Another approach is to use optogenetics to stimulate the visual cortex.
Optogenetics is a technique that uses light to control the activity of
neurons. In this approach, researchers use light to activate neurons in the
visual cortex that are responsive to visual stimuli.

Both of these approaches have been shown to produce some level of vision in
blind people. However, the results have been mixed, and there are still many
challenges to overcome before these approaches can be used to restore
functional vision to blind people.

One challenge is that the visual cortex is a very complex structure, and it
is difficult to accurately target the specific neurons that need to be

Re: [AI] Query regarding Braille ATM Card of Union Bank of India

Hi

The Braille marking ATM card is just the same as any ATM card with the 
same privileges. It has a Braille of letter U for Union bank. It helps 
us identify the card.

Re: [AI] my aadhaar is not updating

2023-11-01 Thread harish kotian

Hi

Which field are you trying to update? Try changing 1 field at a time 
instead of altering multiple fields in one go. I suppose, altering some 
fields can be done at Adhar centres. I understand it can also be done by 
postman, however,  you have to be at the postoffice before 9 AM.

Hi

AI is fast evolving and I think much faster then we can anticipate.

Watch this video, which is in Hindi which takes you the full process of 
creating a tune, filling lyrics to it and finally singing it with the 
created instruments.

Hi Minar

I am unsure if you are aware of Windows sub system for Linux, which is 
popularly called as WSL. I had in the passed installed it on Windows 10. 
The advantage is that it is running Linux under Windows and with ease 
you can switch between the two. You can install Linux build like Ubunto,

Hi

Probably, the thinking is  that there is a modification to the content 
of the RC.They cannot do the changes to the existing RC so logically it 
seems ok calling it duplicate. The status does not change.

My concern is that if one has purchased the vehicle before this

RC to show "Duplicate" when it is not their fault at all.

Hi,
While I appreciate the efforts put by the advocacy organizations and

largely on improving the accessibility of the apps or

and this one where Toll exemption is provided but there is no clear 
guideline or method to avail it are not taken up with the relevant 
authorities. Even if someone tried taking up these cases, the result 
is not as desired.
At Gulati  sir: the circular to record ownership under divyangjan 
without availing GST concession for all PWDs came in this February 
and most RTOs are not aware of it and they simply record the 
ownership as mentioned by you even if it is wrong as your vehicle is 
not modified but your RC mentions it as modified.

As mentioned by you, the size of the RC is the size of the credit
card, however, the 'divyangjan' is still mentioned on the RC. One of
the columns in the form, under the exempted category is vehicle
mechanically modified. Our vehicle is not mechanically modified. I
have submitted the paper under this category only as there is no other
category under which I can submit my papers. I believe that it would
be rejected as soon as I attach my disability certificate. It is quite
unlikely that I would be getting the 0 balance tag. I believe there
would not be anybody across the country who would be benefiting from
this exemption as I spoke to plenty of car users with visual

Re: [AI] Availability of smart-glasses, their cost and functionality

2023-08-31 Thread harish kotian

Hi Pranav

My experience too was far from conducive. I was refraining to share, 
However, in the interest of disabled persons I think it is essential to 
share it.



I first saw the device in the exhibit area of PurpleFest. I saw 
potential in it and offered to help in as a user.



I was in dialog with the main person behind it. I soon realized he was 
not responsive to user feedback and out of frustration I made it very 
plain, that if you are  making it for the blind it better be with the 
blind and not for the blind. I also made it clear I was disappointed 
with his approach. I had earlier offered to visit his office at 
Bangalore. My mail put him off and he did not consider worthwhile to 
provide his address and it was an abrupt end to it.



I am sharing this only with the purpose that one is informed of user 
experience. I have no need to defame them in any way. I am happy you had 
a better experience with them.


Harish.

virtually the same thing as the SHG glasses. I suspect the SHG

The most interesting part of the SHG glasses is their walking mode

Re: [AI] submission to law commission on uniform civil code

2023-07-27 Thread harish kotian

Dear Tony

In my last line of my  response, was that the whole point is to include 
us in the consultative process. There is no need to pitch for upholding 
present civil laws. The endorsement seems to uphold it maybe it may not 
be the intent. It is certainly seems to be so. It certainly be achieved 
without resorting to the endorsement route.

Dear Harishji,

Thank you for placing your perspective for the benefit of everyone on
the list. As far as I understand, the petition does not shake hands
with regressive practices. To my mind, the larger point of the
petition is that persons with disability should be consulted while
reforming a regime impacting our lives in a large manner. To quote the
petition: “Hold Consultations
Reform of personal laws, or for that matter any law, should only be
done after wide consultations with all stakeholders. We therefore urge
the Law Commission of India, to not go ahead without adequate
consultations with all stakeholders including the disabled by hearing
their voices and that of their representative groups and
organisations.”

I hope that it is clear from my mail that endorsing the petition is
clearly a choice and not a compulsion by any stretch. With regard to
the last date for endorsement, I understand that petitioners are
constrained by the cutoff date proposed by the law commission. In the
garden of democracy, let a thousand ideas bloom. Any citizen who wishes
to petition the law commission with regard to persons with disability and
UCC can still go ahead with it until tomorrow. I hope that more such
petitions are circulated so that all of us will have the opportunity
to have an informed view.

Regards,
Tony

My 2 cents on these 2 lines. Drop this exercise, instead, state that

Re: [AI] Bengaluru-based eye hospital to soon start human clinical trials of indigenous gene therapy for ocular diseases

2023-07-27 Thread harish kotian

Hi

A very welcome initiative. Our indigenous efforts have earned great 
laurels in the vaccine field and one can trust our scientist to deliver 
on this area as well.


Harish Kotian


On 7/27/2023 11:08 AM, avinash shahi wrote:

Researchers from Narayana Nethralaya, a Bengaluru-based ophthalmic
hospital, are all set to start human clinical trials of indigenous
gene therapy for ocular diseases. This is the first such effort in the
country, doctors claimed.

Gene therapy is a treatment modality to correct the pathologic effects
of defective genes that are responsible for disease development.

Cost factor
“While gene therapy trials have been happening in Western countries
for over 30 years, no trials have been done in India so far. Patients
in our country are unable to get the benefits of the therapy because
of the exorbitant costs. One injection of the therapy can cost ₹7
crore and above. Many Indian patients need gene therapy, and the cost
can be reduced only if the technologies are developed indigenously,”
said Rohit Shetty, hospital chairman.

Pointing out that the plan is to initially start with gene therapy as
a solution for genetic corneal disorders such as keratoconus through
indigenously developed adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector production
and delivery, Dr. Shetty said, “The process has begun. We are awaiting
the Centre’s approval to start the trials and are hopeful of
completing the first phase of trials by early next year.”

Focused meeting
Naren Shetty, the hospital vice-chairman, said the announcement was
made after a two-day focused meeting that was held in Bengaluru from
July 22 to come out with a consensus on indigenous gene therapy
trials. The meeting was attended by over 25 prominent clinicians and
scientists from top national and international institutes in the
country.

“At the meeting, our scientists showcased how their indigenously
developed vectors and production process can significantly reduce the
cost of gene therapy to 1/20th-1/50th of the international costs. The
meeting also resulted in a consensus on establishing a national
registry for rare ophthalmic diseases and identified additional
diseases in India that urgently require gene therapy,” he said.
Clinical grade vector production
Making a presentation on indigenous gene therapy, Arkasubhra Ghosh, a
geneticist at Narayana Nethralaya Foundation’s GROW (Genes Repair and
Regeneration in  Ophthalmic Workstation) Research Laboratory, said the
process of starting the first human AAV gene therapy trials for
corneal dystrophy and the first dual AAV vector trial for  Stargardt
retinal disease had begun.

Dr. Ghosh, who is one of the authors of the National Guidelines for
Gene Therapy Product Development and Clinical Trials, said, “The
drug-making process is a major technological challenge, and we are the
first in India with the clinical grade vector production.”

Dr. Rohit Shetty said patients seeking voluntary participation in gene
therapy treatment could contact the hospital at  080--0715 or
email genetict...@narayananethralaya.com

[AI] Evaluation of folding cane produced by T.K. Bansal

2023-07-15 Thread harish kotian

Hi

I got an evaluation folding cane from Dr. T. K Bansal. The cane is light 
weight and seems strong and elegant. Importantly, replacing both the 
pencil type tip and the roller tip was a breeze. The design is simple 
and effective. We don't need anybody's assistance to replace the elastic 
band or the tip. We can certainly do it by ourselves.



I have used roller tip cane in the past. However, this roller tip is 
more smoother and with slight wrist movement it moves from one side to 
other by itself.


I am impressed and I can recommend our folks on the list to consider it.

There was a reference to this cane a few days back out here.


I have checked, it is compatible with the smart cane module of Saksham.

Re: [AI] Disappointment judgement of Delhi HC

2023-06-17 Thread harish kotian

Hi

Kanchan, had hinted something important, however, as I see her hint was 
missed entirely. I do understand, why it was not possible for her to 
spill the beans. It is important and that is the reason what I think she 
had hinted.


A few disclaimers: Firstly, I have not discussed about this with her. 
Secondly I do wear 2 hats, one as a moderator and the other in my 
individual capacity. In this instance I think it is essential to be 
doubly sure that this mail is entirely in my personal capacity.


What comes foremost in my mind is when Sant GuruNanak demoed that truth 
also is not absolute, it also has a context and that too has to be 
presented correctly.



I need to admit upfront that I am presumptuous as I have neither gone 
through the judgement nor have I read the petition.



I do recall that NPRD had issued a press note which was shared on the 
list for withdrawal of circular for UDID as a primary document to avail 
services and facilities for the disabled. I suppose, here too the 
petition would have been to withdraw the circular which has a 
requirement to possess the disability card issued by them. The court may 
have upheld the defense arguement that the ministry has the power to 
issue such circular. If this is carried as it is to the supreme court 
the verdict may not be different. In my limited opinion, the focus of 
the petition should have been to make the UDID as one of the acceptable 
document for availing the railway concession and not withdrawal of their 
circular.


 The judges will generally go by what is presented to them.So it would 
not be appropriate to say disappointing verdict rather the 
disappointment should be directed to the possible weak petition or poor 
presentation.


I suppose, what Kanchan did not say in so many words was that one should 
be extra cautious while approaching the court for the damage that it can 
do as in this instance is far more greater than taking the traditional 
approach.



I hope appropriate lessons are learnt and it is understood that this 
comment is not entirely specific to this case.


Harish.

Re: [AI] Do we get loans from HDFC Bank?

2023-06-09 Thread harish kotian

Hi

Make a recording of the entire conversation and ask them on what basis 
they claim that loans is not given by them to blind persons.



Based on this make a complaint to their top management and RBI.

Dear all,

Nowadays, I am getting calls from HDFC representatives offering
personal loans but when I say I am blind, they express regret saying
that they don't offer loans to the blind customers.

I think the calls would continue unless I take a loan from the Bank.

So I want to know whether any of you had taken loan from the HDFC
Bank.  If yes, have you followed any additional procedure for that?
Also, is there any policy document from the Bank on offering their
services to the visually impaired customers?

Thanks and regards.

Re: [AI] Request for Access India Group for Microsoft Power BI Training

2023-06-09 Thread harish kotian

Hi Anil

Glad to know about your interest and your passion to succeed in the area 
of PowerBI.



When you break this down, it throws essentially 2 problem areas. 
accessibility and application of BI.


On accessibility front, I guess, it should be reasonably accessible. The 
members here could help you in for it.



On applying it to scenarios, I don't think we can help you nor do I 
expect you  to have any expectation from your side.


All the best in your journey and of course a warm welcome to AccessIndia 
family.


Harish.

dear access Indian
I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to inquire about the
possibility of access India Group for training on Microsoft Power BI.
I am particularly interested in finding a visually impaired trainer
who can provide guidance and support in learning this powerful data
visualization and business intelligence tool.
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is [Anil Bhandari], and I am a
visually impaired individual who is eager to enhance my skills in
Power BI. I have a deep interest in data analysis and visualization,
and I firmly believe that Power BI can empower me to effectively
interpret and present complex information.
I currently work as [associate trainee] at [vcreatek salution ]. In my
role, I frequently encounter situations where the ability to harness
the power of Power BI would greatly benefit my work. By gaining
expertise in Power BI, I aim to improve decision-making processes,
identify trends, and communicate insights more effectively within my
organization.
As a visually impaired individual, I understand the challenges that
can arise when accessing visual content. However, I am determined to
overcome these obstacles and develop my skills in Power BI. I believe
that with the assistance of an experienced trainer, who understands
the unique needs of visually impaired learners, I can overcome these
challenges and become proficient in Power BI.
I am aware of the importance of accessibility features, and I am
confident that Power BI provides such functionality. Nevertheless,
having direct guidance from a visually impaired trainer who can share
their expertise and insights would greatly enhance my learning
experience.
If there is a visually impaired trainer within the access India group
or if you have any resources or recommendations, I would be immensely
grateful for your assistance in connecting me with them.
Alternatively, if there are any upcoming training sessions, workshops,
or online communities focused on Power BI accessibility, I would
appreciate any information you could provide.
I am committed to dedicating the necessary time and effort to learn
Power BI and apply it effectively in my professional endeavors. Access
India Group would not only provide me with valuable learning
opportunities but also enable me to connect with like-minded
individuals who share a passion for data analysis and visualization.
Thank you for considering my request. I eagerly await your response
and any guidance you can provide. Please let me know if there are any
further steps or requirements I need to follow.
Looking forward to the opportunity to learn from the access
IndiansGroup and its members.
Sincerely,
[Anil Bhandari]

Re: [AI] Ola asked to make pick-up and drop location selection, driver information accessible within 4 weeks

2023-06-08 Thread harish kotian

Hi Amar

Although I do resonate with your point of view, business, sales, 
revenue, funding are independent of technology issues most of the times. 
At the core of it, accessibility issues spring from design 
considerations and it requires to be directed. All the other factors are 
not dependent. All these are technology driven companies and therefore 
this should be least of their problems. It requires, just some hand 
holding and willingness. In conclusion, I am of the opinion you should 
not lax in your efforts.


Harish.

Rapido at this moment is struggling to keep its business up and running as more

states like Maharashtra, Delhi etc in terms of revenue has become a problem for 
them.

The other side of the story is that these loss making businesses manage to find 
investors for them who are willing to write a cheque. So should we be putting 
our efforts is a question I am struggling to answer for myself.

You can change the language to English India or English US. Press

window key and type language then  press enter use tab key and find

the language dropdown press  enter to expand and use down/up arrow key

to select the language English India or English US then press tab key

and find the dropdown for country or region and press enter to expand.

Select India. This should resolve your issue. If you are using NVDA

and want to use English/Hindi keyboard then you can accomplish this by

using Left alt +left shift key. There is no need to change the

keyboard layout in system settings. Hope this helps.

On March 7, 2019, the Prime Minister had release a set of coins

distinctly different to both see and touch. The problem is that the

Read the report below

‘Consider report for making coins friendly for the blind’ 
rosy.seque...@timesgroup.com Mumbai : Bombay high court said the 
Reserve Bank of India must consider an expert committee’s suggestions 
and recommendations for making currency notes and coins friendly for 
the visually challenged. “It is high time the Reserve Bank of India 
considers it,’’ said Acting Chief Justice Sanjay Gangapurwala and 
Justice Sandeep Marne on May 3. They heard a 2019 PIL by National 
Association for the Blind (NAB) to direct RBI to introduce 
“blind-friendly” currency notes/coins as the new currency and coins 
are difficult to distinguish on touch. In September 2022, RBI said 
Delhi HC had constituted a committee. On May 3, RBI’s advocateDhaval 
Patil said the report had not yet been tabled. “There cannot be any 
dispute that the currency and mints have to be disabled 
user-friendly,’’ they said. They noted that after the PIL was filed, 
RBI came out with some measures and introduced coins that are 
“visually impaired friendly” and a mobile application. Advocate Uday 
Warunjikar, for NAB, said there are some issues with operating the app 
with regard to volume and the app does not work in crowded places and 
on trains and buses. “Respondent (RBI) certainly has to take steps so 
that the visually impaired persons can distinguish the currency. In 
fact, as the committee was already appointed, we are waiting for that 
report, because the same would be the suggestions and /or 
recommendations ofthe experts,” they said. The judges directed that no 
sooner the report is received, it must be submitted to the court or 
else they proceed with the matter on the basis of petition and replies 
as “the matter cannot be adjourned in perpetuity”. They also sought a 
reply on the shortcomings in the app and posted the hearing on June

Hi

In case you are using NVDA, use it with addons disabled. For that you 
can press insert q and in the option select restart with addons. It will 
hold good for only that instance.


Secondly you can increase Ram to about 16 gb if it is possible

Thirdly you can also think of using SSD

If you OS is installed long back, you can consider reinstalling the OS.

Re: [AI] New Parliament library logsabha getting inaugurated tomorrow

2023-04-13 Thread Harish Kotian

Hi

This is interesting. The membership cannot be individual, then it ought 
to be inter-library. If this is the case then the books available in 
this library can therefore be shared with Sugamyapustakalaya on a 
reciprocity basis.



Can someone confirm this? Can we start with the catalog list of titles 
available in the parliament library?

Hi Yamuna

CG is a text based engine. We give text to our emotions. meaning we 
experience emotions like love etc. the consciousness of emotion is 
different than the text based association with emotion.



The CG probably learns the different ways the emotions are used and 
based on the learning it may be manipulating it in different ways.



Undoubtedly, the output it throws out is frighteningly human like. It 
will not be possible to distinguish a machine output with a human 
generated output.



I have now been using it to learn various things and the learning is 
definitely great. It is now my learned teacher who knows all and has the 
capability to explain in a way I can comprehend easily.



As our perception of things is now primarily textual, CG can be put to 
good use.



I don't think you need to jump into a conclusion regarding the faith you 
are holding and CG is no competitor. The more you use it, you will find 
certain patterns of its output.

No way! I cannot believe it! Are you sure you did not write that

This effort requires appreciation of human emotion such as “love” and 
“hope”. Something not conscious in the way we are, cannot use those 
concepts in such creatively and knowing ways. You have to actually 
realize these feelings to do that, not so?
I mean, in the same way that a blind person from birth cannot properly 
express the subtleties of colours in a poem until they are directly 
given associations with other sensory experiences to compare? And 
since a non-living entity does not have any sensory and what to speak 
of emotional experience (realization), then how can it do what you 
just described, is completely frightening.

Does it now experience human consciousness?
If so that would destroy the very foundation of my faith: that God is 
the only designer of consciousness.

Surely it cannot be consciously experiencing anything, to do what it does?
Please say how then can it do this otherwise!
For now I’m shocked so severely that my emotions are affected and my 
breathing has actually become shallow on reading this poem, as if 
someone has just nocked the wind out of my stomach.

Sure, here's a poem that celebrates emptiness:

Emptiness, a blank canvas, unadorned
A space for growth, a chance to be reborn
A void to fill, a space to create
A world of possibility, it's ours to make

It's not a emptiness of loss or lack
But one of hope, a second chance at back
A space to breathe, to start anew
A chance to see what you can do

Emptiness, a space for the soul
A place to grow, to find a goal
A journey ahead, with endless dreams
A world of hope, or so it seems

So let us embrace this emptiness with pride
And fill it with love, from deep inside
A new beginning, a chance to thrive
Emptiness, a gift for which to strive.

I say this because we must be clear to the sighted world, and even the 
totally blind who have seen before, that it is currently not possible 
to allow a blind-from-birth person to actually realize by experience 
the concept of colour. At best we can make associations with other 
sensory experiences we do know. My personal experience is that they 
just can’t imagine it that our brains do not realize the experience at 
all, and so we cannot imagine the actual experience even in our minds 
or in dreams. They are often blown away and can’t comprehend the 
extent that we cannot know by actual realization, in as much as our 
minds are blown away when we think of trying to have the actual 
experience of colour.
One time back in South Africa, I was trying to explain my difficulty 
of realizing relative North in a known spacial context without clearly 
having another direction defined to me.
I struggled to help this totally blind, formally sighted friend 
appreciate how I do not have much of a mental map in my head. He 
couldn’t see my point, and I gently let it go. Now having said that, 
there are other born-blind people who seem to have a far better 
spacial dimension than I do, so perhaps it’s just my own shortcoming. 
I leave that to think about.

Nice discussion. Thanks.

Hi

An interesting response to the captioned query:

Understanding the concept of colors for a person who is blind from 
birth or has severe visual impairments can be challenging. However, 
there are several ways in which a blind person can comprehend colors:

1.
Associating colors with other sensory experiences: Colors can be 
associated with sounds, tastes, textures, and smells. For example, red 
can be associated with the taste of spicy food or the sound of a trumpet.

2.
Learning color names through verbal description: A sighted person can 
describe colors to a blind person using words such as "red is warm 
like fire" or "blue is cool like water."

3.
Touch-based systems: There are various touch-based systems, such as 
raised line drawings, tactile graphics, and Braille labels, that can 
help a blind person understand colors. These systems use different 
textures or shapes to represent different colors.

4.
Technology: With the advancement of technology, there are now devices 
such as color recognition apps, which can help a blind person identify 
colors. These apps use a smartphone camera to detect and identify 
colors and announce them through audio output.
Overall, understanding colors for a blind person may require 
creativity, patience, and an openness to different ways of 
experiencing the world.

Agree with you fully. While reading the article, what I found not good

https://afb.org/aw/24/3/18242

A Tale Of Two Ereaders: The Good News Launched By NLS
Deborah Kendrick
For most of us, March 2020 will always evoke the memory of lockdown, 
quarantines, masks and all of the other traumatizing changes wrought by the 
onset of the Coronavirus pandemic. But there were positive events taking place 
in March 2020 as well, and the one that stamped its most indelible memory on a 
few of us doing work for the National Library Service for the Blind and Print 
Disabled was the launch of the NLS Braille eReader Pilot.
A Little History
In the summer of 2013, a conference was held in Watertown, Mass. that would 
bring significant changes to the delivery of braille materials by the NLS. The 
Braille Summit was a think tank of sorts, bringing together braille teachers, 
braille readers, braille producers and other lovers of braille to dig in and 
brainstorm the future and promotion of braille. One significant idea that came 
from that intense conversation was that putting a refreshable braille device in 
the hands of all braille readers would encourage the reading of braille and 
provide braille material in a more equitable fashion to blind people. Rather 
than long waiting lists for a finite number of braille copies of a single book, 
an infinite number of readers could download that book to read and choose their 
own time for reading it. Many braille readers had been downloading books for 
years by 2013, but refreshable braille displays are costly and were therefore 
not available to all.
Fast forward just five years to an amazing appropriation by the United States 
Congress, a one-time appropriation of five million dollars in order for NLS to 
launch the eReader pilot. Bids went out. Two products were selected, and in 
March 2020, seven of us began putting these machines through their paces. 
Spearheaded by Tamara Rorie, head of the Patron Engagement Section of the 
National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled, the pilot is now a 
program, the two eReaders have been distributed to 40 of the 50 states, and the 
plan is for all states to have received their units by the end of 2023.
Two Machines, One Set of Functions
Certainly, there are differences between the two eReaders. They look and feel 
distinctly different from one another. There are some distinctions in features 
and performance. The important takeaway, however, is that they are both 
powerful machines designed to do the same job: Display and download books and 
magazines from the National library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled. 
And both do that job extremely well! One is from Zoomax; the other is from 
HumanWare. I'll first provide an overview of their physical appearances, and 
then a more detailed analyses of features and functions.
Physical Description
Both NLS eReaders are small enough to fit into most typical backpacks, tote 
bags, or purses. The Zoomax measures 8 inches wide, 5 inches deep, and 1.5 
inches tall. The HumanWare eReader is from one-half inch to one inch smaller in 
every dimension. Both machines have 20 braille cells, with 20 accompanying 
cursor routing buttons. Both have long battery life. Both are charged via a 
USB-C port. Both have powerful wifi and Bluetooth capabilities. Both have 16GB 
internal memory, and both are designed to accommodate additional storage via SD 
card and/or USB flash drive.
Each eReader ships with the following accessories: a custom carrying case and 
lanyard; a USB-C cable and power block for charging; a USB-A cable for 
connecting an NLS-style cartridge, and a hardcopy braille user's guide.
HumanWare
The HumanWare eReader has the eight-dot Perkins-style keyboard (the six braille 
keys plus Backspace and Enter), on top, in a slightly curved arrangement 
believed to be more ergonomic. Directly in front of the keys are the 20 cursor 
routing buttons (which feel like large round dots), Followed by the 20 8-dot 
braille cells. Finally, at the front of the top surface, at its center, are two 
space bars.
On the front edge of the unit are four evenly spaced rectangular thumb keys, 
with one round Selector button in
