Hi Vivek, This aspect has been included in the FMC specifications on request by Prof Raghu. It is also referenced in the main letter in this para extracted below - would appreciate it if the blind community can study AIS 173 standard and get back with comments : No mention has been made of

Re: [AI] RBI MANDATE REGARDING CAPTCHA ON INTERNET BANKING SERVICES

For addressing this genuine concern of deaf-blind community. Anyone has access to this RBI communication on 'Strong CAPTCHAs'? Why are they do kanjoos to add on SMS OTP, and free email OTP? On Sun, 17 Oct, 2021, 10:03 am Harshit Lohia, wrote: > Dear List Members, > The YONO portal of SBI

I will be sharing the Equals CPSJ budget analysis once the CBGA report is out over the next couple of days. With its tables and Equals' work on budget advocacy over the years, you will find the NPRD statement correct even if difficult to digest for those who bring politics and preferences into

Re: [AI] Disabled Cold Shouldered in Budget

I was surprised to read some people's objections to the NPRD media release, so went back now and reread it. Expectedly it is a good, objective, reasonably thorough summary of yesterday's budget announcement vis a vis disability issues. I have seen and experienced this kind of name-calling and

Re: [AI] Suggestions for increased inclusiveness in general elections.

Dear Mr Kulkarni, For those who do not know Braille we have a workaround. Please access http://bit.ly/form-7a for details. We are trying to get ECI to make its document tables etc properly accessible - so far they have only made the candidate list in EVM order available on mobile apps

Re: [AI] Voting experience yesterday

Thanks Rajesh and Nupur! Am amazed that Braille candidate lists are available in any language apart from English - this is something we have been fighting for quite a while. How about past experiences - any other language apart from English? Rajesh, how did the polling booth official refer to the

Re: [AI] Issues with VVPATs

Dear Pavan, VVPATs themselves are just a placebo and a concession by the ECI to a perpetually EVM-conspiracy theorising public. I urge the blind community to desist from asking for VVPAT accessibility - the EVM which by virtue of its rudimentary design is invulnerable to largescale hacking

[AI] EVM Braille and candidate list

Hi all, Present day EVMs come with Braille numbers 1-16 embossed directly next to the button. If there are more than 16 candidates, blind voters are reading the underlying embossed Braille through the Braille sticker overlaid on top. This causes confusion. There is as of now no other place
