Janni Lehrer-Stein writes in the NyTimes: What It’s Like to Use Facebook When You’re Blind
For years, that was essentially my experience on Facebook, and it
remains that way for me on other social media platforms and the
internet at large. You see, I am blind. I rely on a screen reader to
use my computer — it reads the words in text out loud. Since a screen
reader recognizes only words and numbers, photographs, diagrams and
other images are often inaccessible.

This visually impaired Kerala man is a telephone directory of voices
KOCHI: The person sitting at the telephone desk inside the public relations officer's room at the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) office might appear to be a nondescript man. But he is not your run of the mill employee at a government office. There is something special about Achenkunju Thomas, who will be retiring on February 28 as the EPFO telephone operator. The specialty lies in the fact that he has an uncanny sense of sound.
Of course, people might point out that he is visually impaired!
Visually impaired students bag first three ranks of BSW
In a rare feat, three visually impaired Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) students of Alva’s College, Moodbidri, who passed out during 2018-19, have bagged the first three ranks in the final examination conducted by Mangalore University during April-May, 2019.
Of them, first rank holder, Nithyananda from Attur in Karkala, was the cynosure of all eyes when he received the degree certificate from Vice-Chancellor P.S. Yadapadithya at the 38th convocation of the university here on Thursday.
The audience applauded his achievement with a big thumbs-up.

What’s with the shallow news coverage on disability?
Last week, two headlines on the digital platforms of leading dailies caught my attention. One read, “Two blind HSC students find writers at the 11th hour”. And the second stated, “HSC exams: Finding writers a real test for some”.
Both these news stories highlight one of the most commonly faced problems by any blind student in India. Given their vision impairment, these students are dependent on ‘scribes’ to write their exams.
