I too read it; very inspiring! I came across this link
http://www.hindu.com/2011/03/11/stories/2011031153360600.htm - this is
also motivating.
Yash, do u remember, there was an article about students taking up a
project to convert text into audio to help the visually impaired? It
appeared in the Hindu around 2 weeks back, the project is in the final
stages and is undertaken by a couple of college students in
Coimbatore. Sorry Yash, I know it is not fair to give details here and
there, but I I tried to search it online but could not get it....
Also, it seems there are 2 libraries for the blind and one was
recently opened in Kovai - these pointers may be useful for u....I
hope.....
Thanks
