Re: [AI] Screen-reader language detection between Hindi and English

[Omkar Pawaskar]

Hello sir. In mobile if you want to turn on the auto detection of language
between English and Hindi there will be an option in the Google text to
speech settings called auto detection of language. In that there are three
options like aggressive auto detection, normal auto detection, and no auto
detection.

And in windows also yes you can use auto detection of language in NVDA. To
use this feature you have to install and add on called NVDA dual language
in the get ad on option of NVDA. after installing and setting up this add
on you can easily use the auto language detection feature in windows also .
Thank you.

Re: [AI] Consider report for making coins friendly for the blind'

[Shyam M. Sayanekar]

Hello, earlier also I  have written on this subject many times. Actually the 
point is that neither the Judiciary, nor the law makers, nor the RBI is in a 
position to comprehend the problem of the Vidually impaired. The things are 
getting more complicated because the old and new coins and notes are 
simultaniously in circulation. There are at least four different five rupee 
coins and four different two rupee coins in circulation. Similarly, the ten 
rupee, twenty rupee, fifty rupee and hundred rupee notes each of two different 
sizes are in circulation. Priviously I used to challange the sighted people to 
confuse me about the notes. But now I challange myself to identify the notes 
without getting confused.   All these coins and notes should be abolished and 
only a single set of coins and notes should be newly introduced. But the 
government would never do this. Professor Shyam M. Sayanekar

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

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.

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

Re: [AI] Screen-reader language detection between Hindi and English

[Yamuna Jivana dasa (Yogan)]

Platform is both Jaws and NVDA, and device is Windows Desktop/Laptop 
computers.

However I did not mention this for a reason:
I know that Jaws with it's default Eloquence cannot read Hindi. I think 
that's also true for NVDA's default E-Speak TTS.
So I left this open-ended so that options and combinations can be offered 
freely from various platforms.
Or are you referring to something else when you ssay "platform and the 
device"?


Thanks.

Once you read the actual texts, you will see what an English screen-reader

On March 7, 2019, the Prime Minister had release a set of coins  comprising 
Rs20/-, Rs10/-, Rs5/-, Rs2/- and Rs1/-. All of them are distinctly different to 
both see and touch. The problem is that the RBI or whoever else responsible 
have not bothered to withdraw the old coins. Thus the scenario becomes more 
chaotic.

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 23, “as a last

[AI] Screen-reader language detection between Hindi and English

[Yamuna Jivana dasa (Yogan)]

Hi Friends,
Does anyone know if it is possible for any particular screen-reader to detect 
languages by AI methods and then speak text using that language pronounciation 
voice?
I am particularly interested between English and Hindi.
Apparently there’s a language change HTML Tag that developers can use on 
Websites to indicate language change, but that will only probably work on 
web-pages, and only if the screen-reader supports the language being changed to.

Kind regards,

RE: [AI] Consider report for making coins friendly for the blind'

[Kanchan Pamnani]

I think I need to clarify. 

1.   I copied a Times of India article about a pending case in Mumbai by 
the NAB regarding coins etc. 

2.   The Bombay High Court Judges were informed by RBI that they are 
waiting for a Report. 

3.   This is the report on which amar and George have worked as a part of 
the Delhi High Court matter. 

4.   So the Bombay High Court matter will rely on this report. I have 
explained to Amar how it will really work.

5.   We cannot do anything further at this stage unless this report is bad. 
It is currently out of our hands and no point in now commenting.

6.   What the newspaper article also said was that the Bombay Court has 
asked for a report on the ap for recognising currency. So I presumed that it is 
referring to Mani. 

7.   Only Harish has commented about this Ap. If we have to help this 
matter and ourselves then we must do a proper evaluation and send it to the NAB 
or If NAB India is on this list then they can pick it up and give good 
information to their lawyer.

On March 7, 2019, the Prime Minister had release a set of coins  comprising 
Rs20/-, Rs10/-, Rs5/-, Rs2/- and Rs1/-. All of them are distinctly different to 
both see and touch. The problem is that the RBI or whoever else responsible 
have not bothered to withdraw the old coins. Thus the scenario becomes more 
chaotic.

‘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 23, “as a last chance for the responden
