Great notes Cearbhall, but today's the 12th, yesterday was the 11th.
I was accessing the build-up to Ireland V Fiji so that's why I didn't join.

10 participants:
The lively Cork meeting braced itself to deal with the many stories of
corruption on almost every front.
Pat made valiant efforts to send an uncorrupted URL to the FB-Exchange
list without success. The issue is tangled up in the dilemma of
character encoding and the format of messages in text or HTML or a
combination of both.
Initial work-arounds have been reported in previous meetings. Sadly,
the steps to resolve those difficulties are frustrated by slight
changes in the operating system and in newer versions of email programs.
What is clear, is that emails containing links on the iPhone often
appear in Outlook or web mail on the PC as plain text showing the
originating as corrupted text or showing the original HTML code which
is difficult for an untrained, non-programmer, to read and understand.
The resulting email is meaningless to its recipient.
Victoria is looking for help with Visual studio as a tool for coding
in Python and other languages. It was recommended that she turn to
Google for guidance on accessible solutions found by other users of MVBA.
Here are some links that might prove useful:
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/accessibility
https://github.com/accessifix/nvda-for-vs-cod
This NVDA add-on provides fixes and improvements mostly for the editor
component of the Microsoft Visual Studio Code development environment.
Please note that Microsoft Visual Studio Code is not a Microsoft Visual
Studio IDE.
It is a lightweight code editor with very advanced features.
Victoria is looking for the best Android smart phone to buy. Jackie
recommended the Google Pixel as the one recommended for use with Talkback.
Jackie is having a problem with getting IOS to focus on a specific
email in a list. When she double taps on the spoken link, a different
link opens up. It was suggested that swiping right once the email is
spoken and then swiping back to the email might ensure that the correct email
will open.
A second problem experienced by Jackie, Ken and Stuart, is that a
strange logo appears randomly, spoken by voiceover but not physically
present on the IOS screen. No amount of resetting the app or turning
the phone on and off prevents this event from occurring. Furthermore,
it has proved impossible to recreate it at will and so it cannot be
reported to Apple or to Audible for a solution.
Chris has a problem in Audible where a book which he had fully
downloaded to his iPhone and had begun reading, disappeared from
Audible when he opened up the app next day. Since the book was paid
for and already downloaded, no explanation could be found.
Martin was delighted to hear that he could simply copy a file from
within his documents and paste it onto a USB drive in the following way:
1. Press Windows and E to open File Explorer;
2. locate and open the "D" drive ( this is the drive for his current
USB connection);
3. locate the file on the PC;
4, Copy the file without opening it;
5. Paste the file into the "D:" drive window and the file should now
appear on the USB file list.
Paul found the Vodafone service very poor in repairing his iPhone SE.
The phone is only a few months old. and still under warranty.
Vodafone, claimed that they could not put his name on his phone
because of GDPR! They also failed to provide any information on what
repair, if any, had been carried out. He received a phone from
Vodafone but cannot be sure that this is the same phone that he left with
them.
The meeting recommended that repairs should be sent back directly to
Apple to avoid this type of confusion.
The group advised that Paul make sure that the backed up data is fully
working before moving the SIM card from the current phone into the
repaired one.
Ken feared a corrupted link when trying to join a Zoom meeting
recently. The link refused to open when he tapped on the line of text
that included the link. Jackie explained that he needed to move word
by word until he found the actual word that contains the link. This
often catches the screen reader user who logically expects the entire
prompt to activate the link. When navigating in a PC-based email it
might be best to hit the tab key to find the link. In the case of IOS,
turning the rotor to "links" and swiping up or down would bring the
user to the actual link whether it was many words wide or only one word wide.
The meeting ended in an orderly manner.
All the best,
Cearbhall
