Re: [AI] Divya Nayan - A Personal Reading Device for Visually Impaired People.

[A K Dua]

Hi friends clarifying some doubts. It is a standalone device and nothing to
do with android OS or IOS. Nothing is to be paid at the time of
registration. Just make sure to upload address proof and disability
certificate before pressing the button to register. Registration can be
done through the link already provided and pasted again at the end of this
post. To clear any other doubts, please call the C.S.I.O team at the
numbers given, for contact, on their website.



A suggestion - no harm registering now. Make a decision to purchase after
attending the demo/training session, in your town. Another suggestion is to
try the divya nayan app, available on play store only ( For Android only ).
Ten languages are mentioned in the description, including all the major
languages. To facilitate more understanding about the device, pasting below
a link for audio tutorials:

https://divyanayan.csio.res.in/tutorials.php.

Is Divya nayan for windows only?
Or is it for android phones too?

Re: [AI] Divya Nayan - A Personal Reading Device for Visually Impaired People.

[john clayton]

Hi,
 I just did a bit of reading on this device through the link provided,
Cheers at the OP for that.
 In essence this device works something like the following.
 You open up a page, keep the reader on its bottum, and it grabs the text
ignoring the pictures figures.
 How well it does with the tables and such, obviously can only be
understood by trying it out personally.
 After the scan it stores the document in its internal memary or external
SD card (up to 32gb) if available, so you ought to be able to share/ move
the document where ever it is you'd like it to be at.
 One rather huge limitation though that this device has is it being only
able to scan upto 60? A4 sized pages in a single charge. the battery is
2600MR and I would have expected it to be able to achieve a lot more with
that.
 You could achieve the same results using a scanning stand with an IPhone
or Android Phone, after all, and quite a lot more pages than that.
 So unless its utterly brilliant at what it does, that is OCR Printed
documents better than any of the OCR Apps out there for either of the 2
platforms mentioned above, I don't see there being much use for it, not for
your Average Blind person reading this, that is.
 Could be rather revolutionary for People who aren't able to get access to
an Android or an IPhone in the rural regions, though. Did I mention I
forgot to check its price tag? as long as its subsidised by the government/
relevant department. Or and unless its quite inexpensive as compared to an
Android with a decent Camera for OCR or an IPhone.
 Here is their FAQ if you have any more questions.

Re: [AI] Divya Nayan - A Personal Reading Device for Visually Impaired People.

[anirudh rao]

hello there,
my doubt is that, can we copy the scanned text to other devices from Divyanayan?
I mean whether the text can be accessed only through audio medium or
can we copy it and read from any device latter.

Hi friend,wich other languages are added in this device?

- Original Message - 
From: "A K Dua" 
To: "AccessIndia: A. List for Discussing Accessibility and Issues Concerning 
the Disabled." 

Sent: September 13, 2019 04:46 PM
Subject: [AI] Divya Nayan - A Personal Reading Device for Visually Impaired 
People.



Dear Friends, some friends have shown interest to know about Divya Nayan. 
I

am sure every V I person would want to know more about the device. Since i
have been associated with a demonstration of the device by C.S.I.O; here 
is

a clarification in simple language:



Divya Nayan is a device with a shape of a pencil box, having sensors at 
the

bottom and two keypads on the top. The device is to be slid from to bottom
of the printed page, book or any other printed material. It takes a few
seconds to convert the scanned text into audio output. The text is read 
out

to you. The device supports ten languages including Hindi and Punjabi.
There are ports to insert USB drive and micro SD card. WiFi connectivity 
is
available for streaming news over radio, etc. you can call it a 
daisy/media

player with converting text to speech capabilities.



The device will be made available after giving initial 
training/orientation

at major locations in the country. Since it is C.S.I.R project under the
Government of India; large scale production is likely to be entrusted 
after

seeing the response, through registration. No charges to be paid during
registration. You have the choice to return the device within a month, if
you purchase it after the training.



Here is an excerpt from the latest communication received from C.S.I.O:



CSIO, Chandigarh invites the participation of visually impaired people
and/or their associated institutions in Technology Intervention and
Validation for Inclusiveness (TIVI) programme via a portal, aligned with
the CSIR’s Harnessing Appropriate Rural Interventions and Technologies
(HARIT).

This programme aims at Rural Intervention of Divya Nayan, to the
unprivileged such people in aspirational districts of various majorly
Indian states but not limited to Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Bihar. It
would be implemented through a series of dedicated workshops designed to
train the users, making them familiar with the device functionality and
capable of using the device independently.

Since there is a limited pilot production at first instance, therefore
users who register themselves for device training workshop will be
preferred for the initial distribution of devices.

Further programme details are available at
https://divyanayan.csio.res.in/registration.php

This portal allows visually impaired individuals and institutions
associated with such people for active participation in this activity.

While a lot of other technical information including Audio Tutorials are
available at the same website's other pages at
https://divyanayan.csio.res.in/



Hope this will clarify most of the doubts about the usability and
functionality of the device, as well as payment terms.
