Martha was greeted with a chorus of questions to know why her message this
morning was full of unreadable characters. It was suggested that she might be
using a character encoding that was not compatible with Windows. Nobody could
explain it at the meeting so a solution might emerge after investigation.
Dominique wanted to know how to stop JAWS announcing the level and type of
headings. The answer is to press INSERT+F2 to open the list of JAWS managers.
Choose Settings Centre in the list, and press ENTER to launch it. In the
Headings section, deselect "Headings with Levels"
Chris is continuing to experience poor WIFI reception which keeps dropping out.
Despite repeated attempts from service provider Imagine, no answer has been
found.
The meeting heard various reports of problems with Banks not granting loans and
future interest payments accumulating on the grounds of Covid complications.
Jackie reported that NCBI have advised the bank of Ireland and the developers
of the Covid Tracker apps on the need to make them more accessible. She was
told that the IOS version of the BOI app would be available in the next few
weeks and that the developers were making changes to improve the accessibility
of the Covid Tracker app.
Jackie reported the complete breakdown in her assisted shopping in which the
wrong items were purchased and heavy items were dumped on top of delicate food
items. Noreen was led to remark that Tesco were doing a wonderful job of
delivering her full order every time. It appears that Dunnes is starting home
delivery soon.
Paul has updated his phone to IOS 14.1. He now has problems accessing his
regular TV listing app. Jackie suggested that he use the Sky Q TV app which is
working with IOS 14.
This prompted Jackie, Paul and Derry to open an intensive discussion of
successful access to sports programs using Sky sports on Alexa
Paul found that SIRI cannot open YouTube any more under IOS 14. He has also
lost the "Send" option in the messaging app. The Send button is represented by
a graphical arrow that VoiceOver does not detect. Jackie and Ken gave detailed
instructions on how he might attempt to find the Send button and relabel it. We
will await a successful outcome!
Martha and Chris led an extensive discussion on various energy replacement
solutions including heat exchangers, solar panels combi boilers and the
advantages of triple glazing.
The meeting ended
All the best,
Cearbhall
