Jackie,
Why not, indeed! Can you guarantee that it will look the same every time your
dog deposits another sample?
All the best,
Cearbhall

Excellent minutes Cearbhall
I've made contact with envision AI and see can their object recognition do
anything. I may get banned on the app for asking but its worth the risk. Even
if these apps would add a feature whereby you could photo your own dog solid
spend and add it to a gallery IE how these apps do it with people for the
facial recognition why not add faecal recognition.

Inn attendance: (12 participants)
Gavin Allman, Martha Parkinson, Martin Kelly, Paul Griffith, Pat
McCarthy, Derry Walsh, Ken Walsh, Jackie McBrearty, Chris Egan,
Dominique Farrell, Noreen Meagher, Cearbhall O'Meadhra.
Noreen is getting used to her new watch. Various members offered
useful advice on what can and cannot be done on it. The watch is
waterproof and really useful as a fitness monitor with many intriguing
features for swimming.
Dominique needed help with two-factor authentication on the iPhone.
She encountered it when trying to hook up her watch with the phone.
Jackie had recently discovered that when she connected the Envision AI
app to her camera on the iPhone, she had to use two-factor
authentication and was surprised to find that she was not asked for
any security verification after that. Ken also shared that
experience. Jackie noted that a continuity keyboard appears whenever a
password is required. This is a qwerty-style keyboard that only
appears when entering passwords and does not appear when entering text in the
body of a message.
Ken wondered if his battery was running down too quickly in his iPhone
11. He explained that the sate of the battery can be seen in "Battery
Health" under settings. Compared to other iPhones among the
membership, this was a significant drop and might indicate a faulty
battery. Pat advised that the battery life could be lengthened by
managing apps more efficiently and only keeping them open while they
are in use. Ken likes to keep his phone locked during lengthy sessions
such as the regular Zoom meetings, so that the usage of the battery is
considerably reduced.
The presence, amongst members, of various iPhone models without a home
key, opened up a question of how to access functions previously
requiring the home key. Jackie, Chris and Ken explained the single
finger up-stroke and double tap that achieves the home key function.
All felt that they had become so used to the new keystroke that they no
longer missed the actual home key.
Pat drew the attention to a special feature of the iPhone 12, the
presence of "Lidar". Lidar stands for light detection and ranging. It
uses lasers to ping off objects and return to the source of the laser,
measuring distance by timing the travel, or flight, of the light.
Nobody in Ireland has used it yet but Jackie had heard that UK users
are using it to maintain social distancing. This is a development that would
be worth watching.
Pat is a volunteer in assessing a new app that is still in development
on behalf of the RNIB-Northern Ireland. The "Finderr" app competes
with the Seeing AI app and, he finds, is more effective at identifying
physical objects. The app works with a library of images so it can
identify an object that matches one of these. Pat was disappointed
that it failed to recognise a wheelie bin although it was very
accurate in identifying a whiskey bottle. A lively discussion ensued
in which various objects were discussed. Some very practical detection
requirements relating to dog management and cleaning up created quite a stir
but no firm conclusions emerged!
Chris had a bit of a fall recently and his iPhone went flying out of
his pocket! He had an awful time trying to find it again and wondered
if there was any solution that others could offer. Hey Siri was the best
option.
Gavin was worried that he could not keep track of the premiership in Britain.
Derry found five Live very good. Paul likes Talk Sport as it
broadcasts live matches. Jackie found that other services were able to
provide preview discussions but were barred from reporting the actual matches.
Martin asked Jackie about saving photos in the Cloud. He wondered if
they were deleted from the phone would they still remain in the
iCloud. Jackie explained that this depends on the synchronised setting
in the iPhone. With this control "on", the photos are removed from all
connected systems when deleted from the iPhone but remain in the cloud
if not synchronised. Pat pointed out that items saved in the iCloud
have to be kept active. If the iCloud is not used for a few months,
the contents are automatically deleted, even though the storage is
paid for, in accordance with the terms of the agreement with Apple.
This applies when data is backed up to the iCloud in the course of an
update. So, Pat suggested that users regularly click "update", even if
there was nothing to update, to avoid a break in continuity.
Prior to the meeting, Jackie raised an important question on the
FB-Exchange list looking for help to attach multiple files to an email
from within the Files app on the iPhone. She needs to attach several
reports to one email on a weekly basis and is tired of having to add each
file singly every time.
Cearbhall recommended using Dropbox so that she need only update the
files in the same folder every week. This would mean that she could
just send a Dropbox link every week. Jackie was not comfortable with this
option.
Everyone got down to the job of finding the right answer. Acting on
the many suggestions that began to emerge, Jackie eventually found the
perfect solution!
here is the answer:
1. open the Files app;
2. double tap on Browse" at the bottom of the screen;
3. A new screen will appear, showing a list of folders;
4. select the button marked "on my iPhone" ;
5. A new screen will appear, showing various folders such as
"Microsoft Word" folder, double tap to open the desired folder;
6. In the new screen that opens, find the "more" button at the top
left of the screen;
7. This opens a range of options, double tap on "Select" to start a
selection mode;
8. Next, double tap each file that is to be attached (VoiceOver will confirm:
"files selected" on each one);
9. When all are selected, double tap on "done";
10. open "share" and double tap on "Mail";
11. This opens a new email message with all the selected files attached.
Great teamwork, everyone!
the meeting ended.
All the best,
Cearbhall
