Re: [AI] Urban Company-on the path to become accessible

2024-01-23 Thread Mahesh S. Panicker

Axis has one of the most godawful mobile apps in terms of
accessibility that I have ever come across. I had written to the
Principal Nodal Officer regarding this. After a few days they got back
that their team is working on ensuring TalkBack accessibility. But
they refused to give any timeline... Don't have much hope from them...

Great work. Its a very handy platform and fixing it will be of great
help. Hope the Android version won't take too much time.

[AI] Need help regarding Virtual Ribbon Menu not working on MS 365 with Jaws

2023-09-23 Thread Mahesh S. Panicker

Hi listers,
On Microsoft Word, I recently noticed that Jaws uis not reading menu
options when the Virtual Ribbon option is turned. It just says upper
ribbon, and if down arrow is pressed, then lower ribbon. Doesn't
identify the option like file or insert or view, or the submenus in
there. It just says 'Blank'. If I turn the Virtual Ribbon option off,
then it is reading properly. Virtual ribbon makes things easier as one
is used to the interface. What can I do to make it work?
Jaws 2023, Windows 10 and latest Microsoft 365.
Regards,

Re: [AI] Mobile app Accessibility survey inside, to reach more companies

2023-04-08 Thread Mahesh S. Panicker

I would very much second that!. Axis Bank has some fabulous banking
products and with their City Bank takeover, we can expect even better.
However, the Axis Mobile app on Android does not even belong to this
century! Utterly pathetic in terms of accessibility, and contacting
the team through regular channels hasn't really helped.
The other banking app  that was quite usable but has recently become
quite the opposite is ICICI's ImobilePay.

Re: [AI] A strange issue in Uber android app

Have the same issue if I use the free uber call option. The speech output
goes to phone rather than speaker.  If you can somehow open the recent apps
section and clos all, TalkBack becomes fine. But it's hit or miss finding
the options with TB speaking through phone

Re: [AI] ICICI/HDFC who's internet banking is more accessible?

2022-10-31 Thread Mahesh S. Panicker

I have been a credit card only user of both ICICI and HDFC. The ICICI
web interface, that  I have used earlier,  and then haven't been using
for a while, was functional, not totally accessible, but for someone
who has  been a screen reader user for some time, should be able to
work around. The iMobile app was much better, but with the last couple
of updates, the Android app has become far more problematic.
HDFC on the other hand, doesn't give access to the HDFC mobile app for
CC only users, they have a web based app for the same and that is
accessible but the functionalities are limited. The web portel used to
be totally accessible, but after the redesign a couple of months ago,
things have become difficult. Still usable, but not as good as it used
to be in terms of accessibility.
Axis Bank has some of the best financial products in recent times, but
both their website, and the Android mobile app don't even have the A
of accessibility, complete and utter disasters.

Re: [AI] accessibility has been comprimised on i mobile app on android.

2022-10-28 Thread Mahesh S. Panicker

I can confirm that the app has regressed badly over the last couple of
updates. Even for a credit card only user like me even the limited
number of features I used to access, have now become either difficult
or unusable with TalkBack assistance. I have posted a Playstore
review... Hope ICICI will get their act together without delay.

Hi.
Just an update on this.
Managed to eventually get the KYC done through Groww. They did want
the on-screen signature, but accepted thumb impression for the same.
Don't know how consistently this will work, so think we have our task

Hi Minar,
I am persisting with it... Still trying out different online
platforms. Groww is the latest. Have managed to go a step further with
them, got a Unique Client Code created through them. Haven't received
a confirmation as to whether this is after KYC completion.
As for other banks, only have credit card relation with both Axis and
HDFC. Getting Axis credit card itself was a struggle... Will try with
Federal Bank, I have a decade-long banking relation with them. But
when I had enquired earlier, they had also contacted their MF partner,
and the person had doubts and questions, I had not pursued it then.
Lets see how it goes.

them, got a Unique Client Code created through them. Haven't received
a confirmation as to whether this is after KYC completion.
As for other banks, only have credit card relation with both Axis and
HDFC. Getting Axis credit card itself was a struggle... Will try with
Federal Bank, I have a decade-long banking relation with them. But
when I had enquired earlier, they had also contacted their MF partner,
and the person had doubts and questions, I had not pursued it then.
Lets see how it goes.

2022-10-14 Thread Mahesh S. Panicker

Hi Minar,
I had discussed the same with the branch manager of PNB, and when he
spoke to the MF partner, they said manager verification wouldn't be
enough, that the form will have to be filled in the presence of a
notary who should then verify the thumb impression and that it has to
be witnessed by 2 people! Basically making it as difficult as possible
so much so that you'd end up dropping the idea!

Hi.
I did try PhonePe as well. They also need you to sign on the screen as
part of the online KYC process. Thumb Impression does not get
registered, and if you just sign randumly, they would say signature
not verified and KYC not processed.
Incidentally, I had invested on an HDFC fund on PhonePe.

So heard back from Cleartax, not happening, unable to verify

starting a SIP would be this difficult, in this day and age! Really

What can be done now? Cleartax CC said contact CRA directly. Is there

I have tried with Clear Tax, the kyc is pending... When doing it on
the app, it was asking to sign on the phone, and the thumb impression
was not being captured properly. So I then uploaded the image through
the web interface. Have to wait and see.
In the mean time, I spoke to PNB, their mutual fund partner executive
was called into the branch, and on checking with his senior executive,
he told me that I have to fill the physical form in the presence of a
notary and varify the thumb impression by the notary.

I tried on both ET Money and Paytm and didn't succeed. On Paytm, got
stuck with the signature, it insisted on signature itself. On ET
Money, got stuck at the PAN card stage itself, it said no signature on
PAN card.
Guess this is a much larger challenge. Hopefully, larger initiatives
like Mission Accessibility and such, can take it up at the appropriate
levels.

[AI] A few questions regarding SIP/MF platforms

2022-10-05 Thread Mahesh S. Panicker

Dear listers,
I have been trying to join a SIP plan or a mutual fund online. The one
issue is regarding signature/thumb impression. How do we go about it
if one would be using thumb impression instead of signatures on
official documents if one has to do an online KYC? I had a difficult
time with Federal Bank when trying to join their mutual fund, as it
was being managed by a third party for the bank and they created
issues regarding thumb impression. How has been your experience on
PhonePe or Paytm or similar platforms?, if anyone has used those for
SIP/MF purposes?... They all want to upload a photograph of signature
as part of the KYC. Do they create issues with thumb impression there?
What would be the most accessible and recommended platform for SIP/MF?
Regards,

Think something has to be done about the POS machines, many these days
are coming with a touchscreen and no accessibility features.

Re: [AI] Issues with the Make My Trip App and Website

2022-08-02 Thread Mahesh S. Panicker

Thanks for the great work, to the entire team.
Haven't been on the MMT website of late, but the biggest accessibility
problem on the Android app that I have encountered is that, when
trying to book anything, it is absolutely impossible to select the
dates with Talkback. The calendar is completely unusable. On Explore
By Touch, it says nothing. If you swipe, it would move from one month
to another. Never reads out the date, and there isn't even a
workaround.
Hope they'll now be forced to get themselves sorted.

Re: [AI] Accessibility issues with ICICI Bank website and mobile application

2022-07-26 Thread Mahesh S. Panicker

Axis perhaps, we should somehow try and reach the top management.
Usual channels including social media ones, they just stonewall you.
But coming from a collective on social media platforms might be more
forceful than individual initiatives. Perhaps we should try and reach
out to the Axis CEO on Twitter or Facebook?

I have also noted recently that IDFC First Bank, a bank that has in my
experience been the least discriminatory in providing banking services
to visually impaired people, has major accessibility issues with their
Android app. I have reached out and have received a positive initial
response. I haven't been able to reach out to any one in the tech
team, but there has been a callback from the general customer support
and there was no denial from their end.

Re: [AI] Accessibility issues with ICICI Bank website and mobile application

2022-07-24 Thread Mahesh S. Panicker

as for the ICICI Imobile Android app,
After logging in with fingerprint, on the bottom row, only 'Me' and
'Favorits' buttons are read out by TalkBack. There are 3 other
buttons, Scan and Pay, Status Tracking, and services. TalkBack is
unable to read those.
On the home page, many of the controls have to be long-pressed to be
activated, not working on a simple double tap. Similar issues on the
Credit Card management page as well. Not all controls work on a
doubletap.
Hope the ICICI team would listen to us and fix these issues.
I use a Samsung M52 5G running Android 12. Had similar issues on a
Nokia 6.1 earlier.

Picture Smart is a Jaws feature wherein one can submit a picture for
analysis. Jaws would provide a discription in the Result Viewer about
the image. If there is text in the image, Jaws can report that.
To navigate a captcha, move focus to the captcha image, then Jaws key+
Space, then P for Picture Smart, and C for control. In the result
Viewer window, enter on More results to get an idea about the captcha
text. Often, the captcha letters/digits are provided with spaces in
between, do away with it, more often than not, you should be good to
go.

Great to know this. Thanks a lot George sir.
Rather than individuals contacting and ending up spamming his inbox,
could this be worked through the team? I would be glad to be of any

Re: [AI] query on Paying credit card on I mobile app

2022-05-19 Thread Mahesh S. Panicker

Cred should be a decent alternative. Its a good card management system
if you are willing to enable Cred Protect by providing access to your
email account. The payment and card management sections of the app are
pretty much accessible. And more often than not, they listen to
feedback.

Re: [AI] KYC for banking facilities for the blind

2022-03-26 Thread Mahesh S. Panicker

Usually, when ICICI generates the vertual card, you should be able to
see the card details including CVV and date of expiry on the Imobile
app. By default, those would be hidden, but there is a checkbox next
to the card number, you can find the details.
And usually, they don't take much time to send the physical card.
Anyways, you have been able to see the struggle through...

Re: [AI] KYC for banking facilities for the blind

2022-03-21 Thread Mahesh S. Panicker

Axis can be the most governmental of all private banks in the country.
Had the struggle of my life to get them to issue the Flipkart Axis
card. Thankfully, the guy who eventually helped my with my ICICI
issue, had changed jobs, and was working with Axis. Axis had done a
physical KYC for me. And originally, they had refused to issue the
card on thumb impression, had to escalate the issue all the way to get
it fixed.
Hang in their, keep fighting, they'll eventually come around.

Thank you vry much for continued intervention on this issue.
I logged into the site. Seems they have at the very least, started to
have a stab at trying to fix the massive problems. But unfortunate, it
still is a half-baked job. I was able to access the AIS from services
once. But not working a second time. Many other tabs are also not
functional yet. So perhaps one can say 5 percent of issues are fixed,
95 percent of issues unfortunately, are still remaining.

Re: [AI] KYC for banking facilities for the blind

2022-03-20 Thread Mahesh S. Panicker

Think they authenticate your ID, PAN and Aadhar, and match it with the
person. You have to show them the documents in a way wherein they can
click a photograph of the document. They would also need to click you.
This is what I was told by both Standard Chartered and American
Express. So its not really about the signature, as the application is
anyways taken online. So, ICICI shouldn't create much fuss really. You
should surely not let it go, fight it out, they do have processes to
get cards issued to blind person, just that most people dealing with
it aren't aware of the same.

2022-03-09 Thread Mahesh S. Panicker

Standard Chartered did V KYC for me without drama. With ICICI, it was
originally very difficult, pre-Covid times it was and they originally
refused to process my documents after home KYC. As I kept writing, and
using up all avenues of protest and complaind, they eventually
processed my application. It was the ICICI Platinum card. On the basis
of that card, I got the AmazonPay card issued without any issues, and
the onboarding process in that case took just a couple of minutes.

[AI] Regarding TalkBack in TCL Android TV

2021-11-21 Thread Mahesh S. Panicker

Dear listers,
I've got an Android Smart TV from  TCL. It has TalkBack installed, and
once it is turned, the TV is reasonably accessible. However, the
difficulty is that there is no independent way to turn TalkBack on. No
shortcuts. Couldn't find any option to enable accessibility shortcut.
The combination of volume up and down keys not working either. So each
time, one would need sighted help to turn TalkBack on to actually
access the TV.
Any solutions? Any way to activate TalkBack through some shortcut on
the remote? Can  Google Assistant be configured to activate TalkBack
on voice command?
Anyone have experience of using a TCL Android SmartTV with TalkBack?
Regards,

Re: [AI] ICICI BankMobile App accessible by Oct!

2021-09-24 Thread Mahesh S. Panicker

I am a credit card only user of ICICI, and I must say, at least that
and related sections, have become a lot more stable, and functional
with TalkBack, following the last few updates of the Imobile app. If
any of us have a direct line to the developer team, it won't be a bad
idea to remind them about making it even better. And for the CC only
users at least, posting encouraging reviews in public, could also be
helpful.

Re: [AI] Regarding Swiggy for Android Accessibility

2021-07-04 Thread Mahesh S. Panicker

Thank you very much Tanmay.
This tip actually makes things a lot easier. So in the workaround, you
don't have to double finger tap on the item, just focus on the item,
activate actions from Talkback menu...
Swiggy should still make their app fully accessible, but now we can
more or less use the app reasonably well.

[AI] Regarding Swiggy for Android Accessibility

2021-07-03 Thread Mahesh S. Panicker

Dear all,
Some time back, we had a discussion about the accessibility issues
with the Swiggy app.
I had posted a Playstore review and also emailed the Swiggy support
regarding the issues and they had responded positively.
Swiggy has now started rolling out an update to the app, and the the
what's new section is all about accessibility. That in itself is a
very refreshing change, apps viewing accessibility issues as a bug,
and highlighting those fixes when they come.
Said that though, I am still not able to access the menu on Swiggy
with TalkBack. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app but the
issue is not fixed. Now before writing to Swiggy, I want to confirm
whether it is an issue only with me now, or isit that the issue is yet
to be fixed.
Also, in this context, I want to also share a workaround on the Swiggy app.
Now, once you open a particular restaurant, when you scroll the page,
it would say something like 'Recommended Item . Double tap on it. The
next category will follow, followed by the list of items in the chosen
category. Now is the tricky bit, do a double finger tap on the right
side of the item you want to order. The item details will open up and
you can find the add button in there.
Very complicated, but doable til Swiggy sort themselves out. The good
thing is that they have at least the right intent. If we encourage
them while pointing out the issue in an engaging manner, I feel this
is a possible win for us.

Re: [AI] are we not entitled for a credit card?

2021-06-15 Thread Mahesh S. Panicker

Oh,
Just checked, The RBI Ban on Amex and HDFC on adding new credit card
customers is still there. HDFC, India's leading credit card provider,
could have been another option as they usually don't trouble in the
name of disability, but unfortunately, that option is closed for now.
Will have to try ICICI, and if one can successfully open the instant
account online, then trying for the Amazon Pay card could be a good
option.
Also, you can try applying for the Flipkart Axis Bank card. Try
applying through Flipkart rather than on the Axis website.

Re: [AI] Regarding accessibility issues with Axis Bank

2021-03-24 Thread Mahesh S. Panicker

I do have a Standard Chartered credit card, and using their mobile app
and website both.
Both are reasonably accessible, very functional with a few buttons
here and there that are not labeled correctly on the Android app. The
website is pretty OK, but the registration process has a captcha to
navigate. But they do have an audio captcha option, so pretty OK on
that front.
Said that, I did have initial difficulties getting my credit card
application approved as they created issues regarding disability,
signature and so on, but intervention from the top fixed the issue.
But yes, their online banking, on both Windows and Android, are very
decent in terms of accessibility.

I checked with  a friend using Axis Mobile on IOS. He said that while
there are serious accessibility issues, it nevertheless is usable. On
Android, thre is 100 percent unusability now. Absolutely nothing is
read out after you are logged in.
Are you able to use Axis netbanking on axisbank.com?

[AI] Regarding accessibility issues with Axis Bank

2021-03-23 Thread Mahesh S. Panicker

Dear all,
I am writing this in the context of my experience with the Axis Bank
online banking system. I happen to be a credit card only user of Axis
Bank. Axis has 2 basic channels for online banking the Axis Bank
website, and the Axis Mobile App on Android and IOS platforms.
For some reasons, Axis hasn't allowed me to register for online
banking on the website, each time I tried to register online, the
system said my customer ID was invalid. On asking, the customer care
had no clear idea as to why this was happening, though someone in the
sales department speculated that they allow only account holders to
use the web interface and CC only users have only the mobile app. On
asking around among users though, I came across CC only users using
online banking on Axis website.
I was using the Axis Mobile app on Android. At the outset when I
started using the app, it was, like many banking apps, not a hundred
percent in terms of accessibility. There were significant issues, but
if you've been around Android a bit, then you could kind of use most
features.
However, I recently found out that after an update, the app has broken
accessibility completely. There is no interaction whatsoever with
on-screen content as far as TalkBack is concerned. It doesn't read any
controls, just doesn't read anything really on the screen, no matter
you touch and explore or swipe. It is the first time that I have come
across a 100 percent inaccessible banking app, that too from a major
bank in the country.
Anyone else facing similar issues with Axis Bank? Any workarounds?
Any help would be much appreciated.

[AI] Any ways to use Google TTS on Windows Screen Readers?

2020-11-16 Thread Mahesh S. Panicker

Hi listers,
This question has originated in me as part of the conversation on
another thread on our list where we had discussed the possibility of
Kibo on Windows. One of the most important atributes of Kibo on
Android is the multi language ability it has the voice part of it
being facilitated by the very promising Google TTS. The Google TTS can
be a bit slow, but the voice quality is much better than most other
options particularly on native Indian languages, and it has a far more
extensive range of languages than Vocalizer.
Now Vocalizer and eSpeak are available on Windows along with good old
Eloquence, but Google TTS doesn't seem to be available for straight
forward download and install on Windows.
Anyways to install and use Google TTS with Jaws or NVDA or K1000?
Would be really remarkable if that would be possible.
Google has made their Office and many other products available on
Windows. Think there should be community efforts on our part to try
and convince them to do the same with Google TTS as well.
Regards,

Re: [AI] Regarding Kurzweil 1000

2020-11-16 Thread Mahesh S. Panicker

Have they killed off Kurzweil 1000 silently? Can't find anything on
the site regarding the discontinuation of the product or any
reasoning.
As there are lots of OCR and reading tools in general, a lot many
people will simply look at alternatives and be fine, also as it is a
very expensive software. But particularly for those who are in higher
education, both in a learning or teaching roles, it is surely a
setback. I wish there is a way to get them to change their minds on
this.
I would surely want to try out Kibo for desktop. The Android product
is promising, though the reading interface on the app do not seem to
have many options as such.
Have they integrated the Google TTS somehow on the Windows platform?
That is the greatest feature in a way on Android, Google TTS provides
a very functional voice to Kibo on Android. Vocalizer doesn't have as
many language options on Windows, and eSpeak is not the greatest TTS
option available in terms of voice quality and listening experience,
and Eloquence of course have very limited language set though in my
view it does remain the best TTS engine despite all the neglect that
it has faced.

Hi Pranav,
Thank you for the response. Yes, I have been using Kibo, and it surely
is promising. I read about Kibo desktop recently, but I have tried it
out only on Android so far.
I have felt that for major educational requirements, you still need
the computer. Don't know about the iPhone environment, but text
selection, and even many other basic requirements are rather difficult
on Android. By the way,  KNFB Reader on Android is an utter scam.
It is so sad that Kurzweil Educational Systems have stopped the
development of K1000.

[AI] Regarding Kurzweil 1000

2020-11-14 Thread Mahesh S. Panicker

Hi listers,
This is is a question regarding Kurzweil 1000. Has Kurzweil
Educational Systems discontinued the further development of Kurzweil
1000? I have not been able to find information on Kurzweil 1000 beyond
version 14, and the most recent within-version for V 14 came in 2017.
Have they discontinued the product? The Kurzweil website is still
maintained, and updates and stuff can be downloaded in from there.
However, there is not much clue on what happened to K 1000.
In my view, the K 1000 is still the best integrated educational
software for visually impaired people, bringing together OCR and TTS
in a highly customized educational package. Have we heard the last of
K 1000?
Regards,

Re: [AI] Fwd: Issues with bluetooth headphones on Windows 10

2020-11-09 Thread Mahesh S. Panicker

Thanks.
I did some Google research on this, and it seems Jaws 2020 has
introduced a fix for it. I have the March release of Jaws, but
couldn't find the option to togle 'avoid audio cut-off for bluetooth
and sound cards. Probably it would have been introduced in a
subsequent Jaws 2020 update.
And even then, it doesn't fix the issue on Kurzweil1000. Is there any
other way in which this bluetooth standby feature can be turned off on
Windows directly?

Hello listers,
Hope all are doing fine. I am here with a a bluetooth related issue
that seems to be particularly affecting TTS voices.
I have an Acer aspire machine running Windows 10. the OS is updated
to the even the latest optional update, all drivers are updated as
well.
But when I connect any bluetooth headphone, Jaws/NVDA/K1000 voices
fade in and out. Not much issue on continuous reading, but otherwise,
a massive irritant. I tried 3 different headphones, disabled
hands-free telephone, uninstalled and reinstalled drivers. But nothing
works.
I know of a friend using a Lenovo machine with Windows 10 facing the
same issue.
When I play music, there is not much issue.
Any fixes?

[AI] Regarding Paytm Accessibbility

2020-03-28 Thread Mahesh S. Panicker

Dear listers,
Many of us are users of the Paytm  Android and IOS apps. A few months
ago, Paytm basic accessibility was broken following an update and it
was intervention from some of our members that eventually fixed it.
But over the last month or so, the issues started coming back, the top
row of buttons like UPI, Pay, Passbook are all read together on
tapping any of these options. Besides, the most recent update has
completely broke accessibility of the app one can say.  Options like
Mobile recharge, DTH, electricity are no longer read by TalkBack. They
have become all unlabelled buttons. I shall post a review on
Playstore, and hopefully other users can also do the same, but it
would be great if people who  have got  the earlier contact
established with the Paytm Tech team can take it up once again.
Regards,

Probably those would be image pdf and not editable pdf documents. The

Hi, thanks a lot for that response. I'll surely try it out.
Just to share, I tried out Text Fairy, and though it is not a specific
app for visually impaired, seems a good option to try out. It gives
decent OCR quality and importantly, it is free.

[AI] Suggestions needed on OCR apps for Android

2020-02-22 Thread Mahesh S. Panicker

Hi listers,
I would like to get your suggestions on an OCR app for Android. As
many of you may have noticed, the KNFB Reader, the much hyped Android
OCR app for print disabled, has ended up being a complete disaster,
particularly on Android 10. The app had issues on my Nokia 6.1 for
some time, and once I got the latest Android OS update to Android 10,
the app doesn't even launch. I understand many users across Android OS
versions and devices are struggling with it.
As such, I would like to shift to something that works. I have heard
about Envision AI. Can some share their feedback on the functionality
and performance of the app? Opting for a lifetime subscription is
worth it? Are there any good free image to text apps available for
Android that works well with Google TalkBack?
Looking forward,
Regards,

Re: [AI] ICICI Mobile banking

2019-11-12 Thread Mahesh S. Panicker

Hi listers,
As this post has now come to the list, I wanted to take up an
accessibility concern with the Imobile app here. The issue is with a
friend's iPhone. Once the app is installed, one is able to open it,
set pin and sometimes even the fingerprint. But once you quit the app
and then start it again, it does not go the home page with pin or
fingerprint. It asks for some activation with a code that needs to be
matched with the card. The code is not accessible to Voiceover to
read, and we have not been able to figure out as to what exactly
needed to be matched with the card. The concerned person is using only
the ICICI credit card and no other service. On Android, I haven't so
far faced any such issue. I am unable to help him out, if anyone has
any tip, then kindly share.
Regards,

[AI] Amazon Fire TV Stick, a Smart TV Alternative one can consider

2019-10-02 Thread Mahesh S. Panicker

Hi AI Listers,
Just thought I would write in, regarding the Amazon Fire TV Stick that
I got recently. I am still finding my way around it, but with the
VoiceView Screen Reading support and Amazon's powerful Alexa voice
assistant, this is a product one can try as it ensures reasonable
accessibility. There is an option to get Voice View support during
support itself though I haven't tried it. After the device is
connected and set up, the Voice View can be launched by pressing the
back and menu button on the remote. One can function within apps and
during vedio playing.
Would writing in later after I figure it out more, but it is an option
that can be considered if you are looking for a cheaper, affordable
alternative to an Android smart tv.
Regards,

Re: [AI] booking flight ticket online

2019-09-01 Thread Mahesh S. Panicker

You can try easemytrip.com
The app is mostly accessible though there are a few issues and the
site is usable enough. That is the one platform I found mostly
accessible if you have to search and book multi airlines. Else, the
Air India site is quite accessible and the app is functional enough
too.

Re: [AI] Regarding cappcha in SBI Net Banking

2019-08-18 Thread Mahesh S. Panicker

captcha virus is catching up with multiple public sector banks, I
think we should take it up at a greater level. Think the social model
presense of Prime Minister Modi and his council of ministers over
Twitter and Facebook has to be used to our advantage. We should bring
this issue to the notice of the PM and the MSJE minister through
social media and the various apps. Its not just SBI or Central Bank,
LIC, the NPS, IRCTC and many other essential government service
providers harass us with captchas without alternatives from time to
time though LIC of late has become usable again.

Hi Amar,
Do you have the latest updates installed for Office? Even I am able to
use some of the shortcuts, but they don't always work, and you have to
tab around the editer a bit before they would work. By the way, are
able to work with the traditional spell check on word or is it the new
editer?

[AI] Issue with Jaws and Windows 10 Settings screen

Hi all,
I am facing an issue with Jaws on the Windows setting screen. In fact
the issue is there on Microsoft Stor and Windows Action center. I am
unable to navigate these screen when pressing tab. I am able to
navigate these screens with NVDA and Narrator. And on another PC, I
could use Jaws to navigate these screens.
I am using Jaws 2019 on a Windows 10 machine.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Dear all,
I am facing an issue with Microsoft word, Office 365 2016. As Word got
updated, I can't access the old style spell checker. Instead, the
newly introduced editer comes up on pressing F7. It is hard to
navigate with Jaws or NVDA, and the shortcut keys don't work
consistently. Ander all these years of using the earlier system, I am
finding the new thing from Microsoft rather distasteful. Anyways I can
get back the old style spell checker that is accessible with screen
readers?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Sudeshna,
Greetings for the day!

I am unaware about the verbosity setting of JAWS in excel. Requesting
you to guide me in this so that I can check.

Just note, the JAWS vertual setting must be turned off because in my
system I have kept it off.

In the normal case, as Office package and JAWS are installed in the
system, I have worked with Excel 2007, 2010 and 2013 and I did not
face any issue with pivot or any other excel tools that I use as yet.

All the best and do well

Hello Aravind and Sudeshna,
Good evening !

I read your queries. Explanations are furnished below.

Aravind: Do you want to apply filter on the complete data that you
have? If your answer is yes, then "pivot" is not the tool you must be
using, I feel. In place of pivot, you must either use the "Conditional
Formatting" tool or the "Filter" tool. If your answer is no, then you
must copy and paste special the pivot table in a new worksheet and
apply filter.

Sudeshna: I am extremely sorry, I did not get your query. Please be
more elaborative. Kindly rephrase your query.

Creation of Pivot Table

1.  Open the excel file having the table on which pivot has to be
applied. This means that the table which has to be analyzed.
2.  Select the table.
3.  Press the Alt key, then right arrow to reach the Insert menu. There
press the down arrow; the first option is Pivot. Hit enter.
4.  A dialogue box would open and it would say, “Create pivot table,
select the table/range”. Kindly note, we have already selected the
table which has to be analyzed, here simply hit ‘Tab’ once and it
would say “New worksheet radio button checked”. Then hit ‘Tab’ till Ok
and hit enter.
5.  A new worksheet would open and by default the curser would be in A3
cell. Do not worry! Press once the “Function key 6 (F6)”. Here all the
column heads would be placed one below the other. Then press down
arrow till you reach to the column head which you wish to keep as the

Then down arrow and it would say “Add to row label”. There hit entre.
In A3 cell it would say “Row Label”.

head which you would have selected. There press down arrow or up arrow
as per your requirement and select the column head which you wish to
place next and press the application key, then the down arrow to add

short-listed all the column heads (except the last column head) that
you wish to have in the table which would be analyzed.
7.  Then you again press the F6 key and press the up arrow or the down
arrow which would be the last column of the table. Press the
Application key. Then press the down arrow till you reach “Add to
Values”. There press entre.
8.  Then press the “Escape” key. Then press the “Alt” key and right or

[AI] Questions regarding tax relaxations when buying a car

2018-10-28 Thread Mahesh S. Panicker

Dear listers,
I have come across information that visually impaired people are
eligible for some tax relaxation while buying  a car. A basic Google
search indicated that the road tax relaxation is for vehicles with
suitable modifications being driven by disabled people. There is a
reference to insurance premium relaxation for the blind though the
procedure did not seem clear enough.
Has anyone in the list had any experience on this? Any further clarity
on the issue would be much appreciated.
Regards,

Re: [AI] Disclosure of disability in a job application: your personal views

2018-09-16 Thread Mahesh Narasimhan

Hello Folks,

Good discussion!

I fully agree with Rahul and Preeti Mam. I did disclose my disability
in my resume and in my covering letter I did mention about my
achievements.

I strongly feel that we must give pointers to the employer to think
deep and to come back to us. We bring a different angle to the table.
Good managers would like to include our view.

We must give that much extra time and space to the employer so that
they are ready to provide us with the right ecosystem and to absorb
our skills productively. This is possible only when they are aware
about our condition.

We must always give our best because we get very limited opportunity.
The employer must feel that we are an asset to the organization.

Re: [AI] Has anyone been able to get a bajaj finserv card in mumbai or anywhere else?

2018-08-13 Thread Mahesh S. Panicker

Twice I was suggested by electronic dealers to go for the Bajaj card.
Both times, the Bajaj representative told me they can't issue a card
to a blind person. One of my friends also had a similar experience
with them.
With banks its not always easy with a creditcard, but with RBI
regulations and some persistence, you have a pretty decent chance of
eventually succeeding. I could manage the same with ICICI bank.
Initially the person send to collect my documents expressed
apprehensions about signatures. I told him about the RBI circular.
Then they chose not to deny but to sit on the application without
processing it. I contacted the customercare, wrote to the senior
management too. Had posted the same here and Harish ji had also taken
it up. Eventually the relented and processed my application.
At least in Delhi, the Bajaj lot have been found to be more disdainful
of the law of the land and with a thik skinn. If we could take it up
with the senior management at a collective level, think the card is
actually a pretty handy one to have.

[AI] Regarding Captcha Solving Services

2018-08-12 Thread Mahesh S. Panicker

Hello listers,
The other day someone posted about the inaccessibility of the NPS
website. Not just NPS, many important government websites are creating
similar issues for us not just on the web interface, but even on apps
as well like LIC or NPS again.
As Web Visum is long dead, what technical workarounds do we have? Of
course we need to pursue things at government level to deal with the
erring government related sites, but in any case we need a technical
solution.
On a google search I came across a few paid services that claims to
solve captcha for the blind user. Have anyone here used any of those?
If so what is the feedback? Are they worth it? And to make the
payment, what would be the options? Since they ask for payment in
dollar, is it that only creditcards would work?
Thanks in advance and best regards,
