How to type and edit in Hindi in the edit filled in iOS devices

This is to bring to your kind notice that there occurs a problem while reading in hindi through the screen reader (Voice Over) in IOS devices. The screen reader speaks the space also while reading the document. It doesn't happen while reading in English. The speaking of space after every word breaks the flow of listening sentences for a Visually Challenged person. I, therefore request you to address this issue in the upcoming updates.

Jadavpur University funds for 22 visually impaired students

Tue, 02/09/2021 - 11:28 -- geeta.nair

Jadavpur University has provided funds to 22 of its visually impaired students so they can stay at rented places that have good Internet connectivity and attend online classes.

The students, mostly from remote areas, used to stay at JU hostels. Since the campus was shut down in March following the Covid-19 outbreak, they have been staying at home. Many are unable to attend online classes because of poor Net connectivity in their localities.

Shruti Pushkarna: Disabled Lives Matter: Time to take a Cue from America

Millions of people had their eyes set on January 20, 2021. The inauguration ceremony of the 46th President of United States of America being seen as a beacon of hope, to restore faith in democracy. Something the outgoing President had ridiculed in myriad ways, throughout his four years of governance (read disruption).

 

Atmanirbhar, a distant dream for the blind?

Imagine your dream of setting up an enterprise getting shattered because the bank you were counting on for finance, denied you a loan? Or think of yourself as a salaried person, yet unable to build your house, because the bank refused you a housing loan. 

How would you feel? Discouraged, right? This is exactly what Eyeway Helpdesk gets to hear from blind and visually impaired callers across the country. Every day, their banking rights are violated, citing disability as the reason. In addition to being discouraged, they feel humiliated.
