[BlindTlk] introducing myself

[PRAMIT BHARGAVA]

Hello Ryan,

I am also an avid listener of audiobooks. I would also love to share my
story & about my profession. I had been steadily losing vision and realized
six years back that I just cannot read anything at all. Even though I have
worked for over 20 years with large multinational companies (Unilevers,
Motorolla, Quest Diagnostics) this loss of vision dealt a huge blow to my
confidence. I was sitting at home for nearly 2.5 years just being very
unsure if I would still have the capability or the skill to perform a job.
When I started my consulting assignment within a week, I realized that this
fear/lack of confidence was purely in my mind & in reality I could
independently handle 95% of what I could do earlier with a better vision.
Having won over the fears in my mind, the upshot is that today I'm running
a Tech Start-Up and building the App for Visually Impaired people. I have
built a voice app which can take voice commands and do each and everything
within supported Apps (WhatsApp, YouTube, Uber Booking, Managing Contacts,
Phone Calls). I'm happy to share the Link of the App Video (Louie Voice
Control) https://youtu.be/F0-y7087Kzg
I'm doing so in the hope that many in the community could try out the App
and help me with their suggestions on how to improve it further. P.S. I
have Macular Degeneration

Regards,
Pramit
