Subject: [fb-exchange] Cork Tech Club Saturday November 4th.
Welcome one and all to the cork tech club minutes. We had 10
people requiring hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows. So sit back with
your mug of hot chocolate and enjoy the sublime psychedelic notes.
The meeting started with Pat talking about the HSE cyber attack from a few
years ago. The discussion continued and in the end Cearbhall Said Pat was right.
Jackie told us about her Heat and Eat Milk Frother. This device makes lovely
hot chocolate using milk. Jackie bought it in Home Savers which is B&M in the
UK. This is a link for something similar on Amazon

Martin spoke about a talking Air Frier from Cobolt. Its unclear if this can
be shipped to Ireland.

Jackie gave a wee update on the issue with the AIB app and voiceover users
being unable to access the cards tab. Jackie received a phone call from AIB to
let her know that this will be prioritised in 2024. So lets watch this space.
It needs to be noted this tab can be accessed if screen recognition is turned
on. This needs to b be turned off once the action has been completed
otherwise, it will effect the functionality of voiceover within other apps.
We had a wee discussion on teams and Jackie said about an issue she had during
the week. There was the word link in the subject line so when Jackie attempted
to enter on the meeting link it jumped into the subject line. Cearbhall
believes it’s a JAWS issue as Ken had no issues with NVDA.
Jackie was also told about a control space command to mute and unmute. This
only worked when the focus was on the mute button however, when Jackie was on
things like people, camera etc it activated this. So on windows only stick to
control, shift and M least this works once in teams.
Cearbhall said he has tried using the sound scape Scotland app and he has more
testing to do but he’s finding it very good.
We had a extensive discussion on the various different types of scams from the
likes of An Post, phone companies, banks and delivery companies. The best
advice when in doubt delete and never give personal details.
A vital topic was raised on the accessibility of medications. The different
ways people identify their medications and the lack of awareness when the
braille is covered with the label.
Stuart was asked about his new phone which is an iPhone 15pro Max, he is quite
impressed with the door detection. The recent apple event was recorded using an
iPhone 15Pro series of phones. There is hope that the next series of phones
will focus more on improving Siri seems they really can’t improve on perfection.
People wanted to know about different methods for deleting on an iPhone. Text
selection, tapping and holding was given as options. Ken then gave a example of
dictation.
AOB.
Martin and Ger will soon be hitting the stage with sightless cinema.
Ken is going to post a thing about art classes to the list.
Pat will post a research link for a student who wants experiences of blind and
vision impaired in accessing their Pharmacies.
The meeting ended with Lady W loosing all her notes. So some stuff may have
been left out.
