Re: [AI] Feedback on TalkBack

[Satguru Rathi]

Hi,

One doubt: will you develop a standalone app or the updates will be 
incorporated in the Talkback available on Google play.


With best regards,

Re: [AI] Finding a Dating Partner

[Kanchan Pamnani]

Rahul, 
You have been working in Delhi for a long time-
1. Ask your colleagues out. All dates don't have to be romantic and candle
lit but can be fun dates-just dinner and good conversation. Ask your former
colleagues as it will serve a dual purpose.  
2. This will teach you how to choose the venue, escort your companion,  ,
order the right meal and payment of the bill. 
3. All dates don't land in bed nor do they all end with a kiss or even
holding hands. So don't get too aggressive or disappointed.
Best wishes 
Kanchan

Thanks Pranav. Just 1 question - I am wondering what kind of crowd you have
found on OkCupid in particularly.  My only concern is that many of these
apps  contain only busybodies and weirdos. While this is a problem for
everyone, it is more so for us because of our unique vulnerability.

Re: [AI] CCPD and accessibility

[Kanchan Pamnani]

Is it not time to sue our own Ministry? 
On another note- most people who have got orders from CCPD on accessibility
of others have not enforced their orders. So its time to get the big guys
directly. It is time to bell the cat. Who is going to do it?

Hi everyone,

I have been helping a friend pursue a case with the CCPD regarding his
university, and it is appalling that the documents that are sent by the
commission are completely inaccessible. Even though we could use OCR to
convert the document and somehow understand it, we sent them a letter,
hoping that they would be alerted to this, and would figure out a more
accessible solution than sending scanned copies of letters in the future. To
the very contrary, they sent another reply to our email, which is again
completely inaccessible. When an organization that works for people with
disabilities behaves like this, I don't know what to expect from the others.
I realize there's no point just criticizing it, and I'm hoping to write an
email to them again-I just couldn't resist sharing.

Re: [AI] CCPD and accessibility

[deepak singla]

Hell
This happens even with the Ministry of Social Justice's site too..
I have written several times to CCPD as well as the Ministry for
making at least their own Websites and communications accessible but
all inVAIN
Almost all the docs uploaded by CCPD on their websites in pdf format
are inaccessible with the screen reading softwares.
I am not able to find what to do and how? but really pathetic to see
such things happening in the organisations working for the persons
with disabilities.

Re: [AI] Finding a Dating Partner

[Shireen Irani]

hi,

if you have a sighted friend who won't mind registering, and going
along with you to those gatherings, that might reduce your awkwardness
with a room full of strangers. it usually does help to an extent. i
think the awkwardness itself comes from being alone among all those
sighted pairs of eyes.
so take a friend, but not 1 who might be out to steal your thunder, or
your dates!
smiles.

good luck.

Re: [AI] CCPD and accessibility

[li...@srinivasu.org]

Fully agreed Kartik. During my stint at Yahoo, we have helped re-building their 
website and even educated them at that point in time about accessible 
documents. 

I believe ministry should begin accessible India campaign right from their 
offices. 

I shall as well write an email to them.

[AI] CCPD and accessibility

[Kartik Sawhney]

Hi everyone,

I have been helping a friend pursue a case with the CCPD regarding his
university, and it is appalling that the documents that are sent by
the commission are completely inaccessible. Even though we could use
OCR to convert the document and somehow understand it, we sent them a
letter, hoping that they would be alerted to this, and would figure
out a more accessible solution than sending scanned copies of letters
in the future. To the very contrary, they sent another reply to our
email, which is again completely inaccessible. When an organization
that works for people with disabilities behaves like this, I don't
know what to expect from the others. I realize there's no point just
criticizing it, and I'm hoping to write an email to them again-I just
couldn't resist sharing.

Best,

[AI] Jaws strange problem

[Kiran Baug]

Hello friends,

I have lenovo G5080 laptop and from last few months i am facing a
strange problem

My jaws starts speaking a particular character like "hyphen sign" at a
very fast pace and it happens for some period of time and it stops.

Initially, i thought it is virus hence i formatted my laptop.

Almost 1 month it was working fine but today again i saw the signs of
the old problem wherein jaws started speaking --- --- and it happend
for quite a period of time and then it stopped.

What can be a problem?

Request group members to provide me with solution if any.

Thanks and regards,
Kiran Baug

Re: [AI] Finding a Dating Partner

[Rahul Bajaj]

Thanks Pranav. Just 1 question - I am wondering what kind of crowd you have 
found on OkCupid in particularly.  My only concern is that many of these apps  
contain only busybodies and weirdos. While this is a problem for everyone, it 
is more so for us because of our unique vulnerability.

Best,
Rahul

Re: [AI] Finding a Dating Partner

[Rahul Bajaj]

Hi Shirin,

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed response; these are 
precisely the kind of insights that I was  looking for.
I will definitely check out the resources that you have shared. The second one 
definitely seems worth trying. The only problem is that I am not very 
comfortable in a room full of strangers -- aa problem which is further 
exacerbated by my disability.
Your tips are very helpful.  I particularly agree with your points about not 
dating a stranger straightaway and widening one's social circle to find a 
partner. I am definitely working on all these areas and will keep your 
suggestions in mind.

Best,
Rahul

Dear Sushmeetha,

Glad to share that we reached our target of 50 responses, which was the  
mandatory requirement  for our research survey.

On behalf of my team, I would like to thank all those who filled up the 
questionnaire at such a short notice.

We are also extremely sorry for the inconvenience caused to the respondents due 
to the accessibility issue. The overlook happened due to the paucity of time. 
Henceforth this shall be taken care of.

Thank you once again for all your cooperation and support.

[AI] Suggestions For A Sensitization Drive For College Students

[Shubham Arya]

Respected Members,
Myself Shubham Arya, a visually-impaired under-graduate student.
We wnat to conduct a sensitization drive, in which we want our normal
counterparts, to specially to come to terms with the attitudenal
barriers which the disabled people face. Moreover, it should also
focus on sharing a class-room with a disabled student, interracting
with a disabled student, and how little things play a major role, for
instance, in the case of a visually-impaired student, people can keep
things in order in a room, so when he/she enters, he/she does'nt
trample on any object, and things like that.
Basically, we have two hours for this drive/workshop, and also be
having volunteers to help to conduct the activities.
If you have experiece of holding/attending activities of this nature,
or you have any suggestion, then please share those with me.
Please mail to me peronally, so as not to cause unnecessary trafic on the list
Thanks
Jesus Loves You All
Shubham Arya

Re: [AI] Problems relating to accessibility

[Chandrashekhar Kulkarni]

Dear List Members,
Thanks for encouraging response.
The only problem is I don't use social media like Facebook or Tweater
etc. Can anyone help me to post it on tweater so as to reach the Hon.
Prime Minister who has initiated the cashless transaction move? Is
there any way to reach his office through e-mail? Of course I would
like to make it more appealing and clear. Please share views as well
as experiences and ideas. You can also suggest ways to move the
government to look into our problems in this regard.
