Re: [Mobile.AI] (AI) My introduction to this wonderful group!

2016-12-20 Thread ARORA Meesha
Very Precise and well summarized Amar!
I completely agree and since I also lost my clarity just this year in the early 
months so it has been extremely difficult to manage my job along with emotional 
stress however I was determined not to give up and learnt the screen reader 
just few months back in July this year and back to work in full swing.
It has been very challenging in the beginning however kept on researching to 
find various solutions and still learning.
Good luck!
Stay blessed!

Hi Prerna,

While I understand the emotional complexities of acquiring late blindness, but 
the fact is that now you got to accept it and decide for yourself to make the 
best of your career, and life.

I appreciate that you have made a good start by learning to deal with assistive 
technology. Now, our focus should be to:

1. Identify your key strengths;

2. Outline potential challenges;

3. Figure out critical limitations if any;

4. Design strategies and solutions; and

5. Reach out to people with blindness who match your career profile and gain an 
understanding of what their strategies are.

Life need not stop because of blindness, you are still a human with a lot of 
dreams and goals Prerna. What has only changed is the fact that your eyesight 
does not exist. But the life, your career, your qualities, your dreams, your 
self respect and dignity, all of it exist. Accept yourself, your such difficult 
challenge which has brought your life to a grinding halt, and then think 
yourself as to whether you can give a more difficult fight to your challenge. I 
am sure you can, are you sure too? Make a start Prerna, no point in thinking 
over what has happened. You can call / email me, if you need, and please also 
describe your career profile in more concrete terms, so that we can connect 
with right individuals. I have some people in mind who may set you to get 
started.

Hope to see this Prerna to be a cutting edge successful professional soon.

Regards,
Amar Jain

Good for you!
In my case , I have to research as much as I could and keep trying for things I 
could not find a solution for at the moment.
It's true there are lot of misconceptions re the accessibility and it seems a 
foreign word to the sighted people and I can feel a general reluctance towards 
it.

Hi,

At times reaching out directly to the developers solves the issue. In RBS, I 
found the Bloomberg developers quite interested towards accessibility and they 
though are working at their own pace yet have given me few sollutions which now 
enable me to use a Bloomberg terminal as rapidely as a sighted person does. 
There's some work going on the internal Intranet so I hope it would also become 
screen reader friendly in couple of months. A lot of devs have positive 
attitude towards accessibility but they are missguided at times.

Ajay

hi Prerna,
good to see you taking your first steps in reaching out to the group.
we all have at some point or the other found ourselves in places we never 
thought we'd be in.
there are many of us here who have dealt with acquiring blindness later in our 
lives and have received unconditional support when we have asked for it.
as for your previous corporate profile, it happens to be one where we have many 
successful individuals, with varying degrees of blindness, working in 
multinational companies.
like Amar and the others have said, once you've decided how you want to take 
your life forward, there are many of us here who can connect you to people to 
guide you, if you so desire.
in most any other ways as well, you will find many willing hands extended your 
way.
all the best.

Re: [Mobile.AI] (AI) My introduction to this wonderful group!

Hi Prerna,

While I understand the emotional complexities of acquiring late blindness, but 
the fact is that now you got to accept it and decide for yourself to make the 
best of your career, and life.

I appreciate that you have made a good start by learning to deal with assistive 
technology. Now, our focus should be to:

1. Identify your key strengths;

2. Outline potential challenges;

3. Figure out critical limitations if any;

4. Design strategies and solutions; and

5. Reach out to people with blindness who match your career profile and gain an 
understanding of what their strategies are.

Life need not stop because of blindness, you are still a human with a lot of 
dreams and goals Prerna. What has only changed is the fact that your eyesight 
does not exist. But the life, your career, your qualities, your dreams, your 
self respect and dignity, all of it exist. Accept yourself, your such difficult 
challenge which has brought your life to a grinding halt, and then think 
yourself as to whether you can give a more difficult fight to your challenge. I 
am sure you can, are you sure too? Make a start Prerna, no point in thinking 
over what has happened. You can call / email me, if you need, and please also 
describe your career profile in more concrete terms, so that we can connect 
with right individuals. I have some people in mind who may set you to get 
started.

Hope to see this Prerna to be a cutting edge successful professional soon.

Regards,
Amar Jain

Hi,

At times reaching out directly to the developers solves the issue. In
RBS, I found the Bloomberg developers quite interested towards
accessibility and they though are working at their own pace yet have
given me few sollutions which now enable me to use a Bloomberg
terminal as rapidely as a sighted person does. There's some work going
on the internal Intranet so I hope it would also become screen reader
friendly in couple of months. A lot of devs have positive attitude
towards accessibility but they are missguided at times.

Ajay

Dear Meesha,

You have summed up everything very well.  I completely agree with you on all 
the aspects.  I work in a bank with screen readers.  I'm doing exactly what you 
have written.  Try to be positive, do our best, try to find out solutions that

be content with our present performance with a constant effort to improve the

Hello Amar,
Thanks for your email!
I mainly work on management reporting .
Well , the challenges can be numerous like I have to constantly research to 
find accessible solutions for any applications I work on and since softwares 
are frequently updated so I often get struck when my screen reader doesn't work 
with it.
Then navigating any new places that I may have to go for business reasons is 
not exciting .
Then if I am in a call /meeting then if the other person may not be willing to 
give you some extra time as one is naturally slower than a sighted person as I 
have to multitask with my screen reader /understanding the current task and 
provide a solution . And there will be a lot of occations where I have to avoid 
participation as I may not be able to do a task on my own and others may not be 
available to help .
Then some more general issues like the workplaces are not accessible , even the 
office intranet is not fully accessible  etc etc
I mean it is a long list however I can tell a common way to deal practically 
any set of challenge  which is just focus on what best one can do and don't 
feel left out or disheartened if you don't get what you think you rightfully 
deserve . 
If one keeps trying then one is bound to reach closer to what one wants even if 
not completely accomplish it .
And yes I have learned that it is wiser to voice out your limitations and 
possible solutions in time without worrying about what others may think or what 
result may come as long as you are principally correct.
Hope it helps!
Thanks & Regards,

Hello Vamshi,
Most of my work involves management reporting and I use various office 
applications like MS excel , word and outlook .
I also work on Oracle which is not extensive though . I think once first one 
should try to know screen readers which ever one is using by heart and then 
using it try to learn the functions of various Office applications and then 
comes the part of using your acquired skills to understand your activities in 
the work place and research it to accomplish them close to the target if not 
complete as practically there will be certain limitations .
And the more one practice , the better one gets with one's ability to find 
solutions of any challenges one may come across .
Thanks & Regards,

and how screen reader usage is helping you in the work place?   Are

Hi Meesha,

A warm welcome to this group, although I don't participate much on this list. 
Ideally, introductory emails are not supposed to be responded on the group, but 
the thought of yours in voicing out when you should have, provoked me to defy 
the guidelines for a couple of reasons.

People at large don't speak up about workplace challenges, and I am glad you 
voiced it out. I am a corporate lawyer in Capital Markets, working with a law 
firm in Mumbai. I am much younger to you in experience with only three years of 
post-qualification experience, but hope to learn from your challenges. What is 
your profile at Sopersteria?

Looking forward to hear from you.

Hello Meesha Arora,

Great to see someone like you to work in the main stream, especially
in the finance sector.   Can you please brief us about the job profile
and how screen reader usage is helping you in the work place?   Are
you working on office applications like Excel, etc.  Or do you work on
any specific domains like SAP, oracle etc?  Though many are familiar
with screen readers, usage of the same at work place, especially in
the finance field is something we would like to know.  We can carry on
the discussion privately if it can not be discussed on public forum.
Awaiting a reply.
