On the Box it said "mobile phone stand" there is no brand name as it was got in
one of those shops that get stuff in from china and there never seen again. I
would have given the brand name, its date of birth and what ever other
information would have identified the product. But alas all I have is "mobile
phone stand". Typing into the likes of amazon "mobile phone stand" will get
results, it was due to amazon I knew what to ask for in the shop that gets
stuff in thats never seen again.

I'm sure Stuart all you clever people by now have worked out where the
hash key is on your Windows computers.
Well there isn't one as such but try shift and the number 3 and you
have the pound sign, same thing.
I wonder if Jackie could kindly let us know the name of her new stand
and where she bought it as I've been looking for exactly that for a
while now.
Good minutes.
Thanks,
Tony

Conclusion
Pre meeting discussions.
The meeting began with a number of eager participants lining up outside
the door waiting for the teacher to open it. Ken was not feeling the best
today we wish him all the best and a fast recovery. The early participants
discussed the weather. It was quite different in various parts of the
country. Jackie said she was out last night the note taker thought she was
out in the nightclubs. Cearbhall told the group about an interview that he
watched were a Russian adviser to America discussed Putin. The recent
podcast that was put up on the FB list was discussed many people found it
funny. It was for sightless cinema. This went on for a while while we
waited for more people to join the meeting. Discussion on how fast the
year is going came up. The new apple voices that are going to be
introduced in IOS sixteen were also briefly discussed. Eloquence was
anticipated. The history of iPhone voices came up Alex was said to have
been badly transferred to the iPhone from the mac. The Waltons
v
show came up as well. It turns out that Jackie went to a show in the
Sligo hawk swell theatre called the 3 Mary’s. she found it to be
fantastic. She described in detail the lovely burger she ate during the
show it sounded delicious. She gave a description of the play. So, the
note taker guesses he was wrong in this instance.
focus group for RTE
ken posted up a focus group for rte. on the FB list recently. Ken said
that all details of it are in the e-mail. Ken was surprised that he
received it. Ken described how he sends e-mails with links to the list.
Discussion of how the list can sometime bring up hidden characters if you
delete characters was highlighted.
New laptop.
Ken described his new dell laptop he is extremely excited to get it. He
said he should have it by next week. It is a bran new laptop. Ken said he
will try NVDA for a while. Cearbhall gave the group a description of the
differences between JAWS and NVDA. Jackie also gave her opinion of it.
New phone.
Paul described his wife’s new phone. She went for the Samsung galaxy. She
is really enjoying it. She was able to transfer her details over no
problem from her Huawei phone. Discussion of this Chinese brand of phone
commenced for a period.
Quick assist.
Jackie informed the group that the quick assist function of laptops does
not work with JAWS. According to Jackie this is because it will no longer
be a part of windows eleven. She commenced to do a lot of investigation of
this issue. She contacted a number of groups that help people with
accessibility issues around Ireland. It no longer works with any screen
reader according to them. Quick assist is the function wherein someone can
remotely access your laptop to aid you. This issue has appeared in the
latest update. Cearbhall said he will contact be my eyes to have a look at
this issue. This will affect a sizeable number of service users according
to someone Jackie contacted about the issue. Windows key and F allows you
to send a fault report to Microsoft. She was told to put in hash tag
accessibility to get their accessibility department. The group tried to
find the hashtag key for a while as no one knew where it was on a
keyboard. Many options were tried but the note taker was
na
ab
le to find it on his laptop. One of the participants swore quite
vulgarly. Chris also discussed his holiday to turkey at this point he
sounded like he had a remarkably interesting time.
Covid.
A number of participants discussed their history with covid. The symptoms
were discussed as well as the lack of masks available for sale. One of the
participants said they were a close contact. Chris mentioned that quite a
number of people on his plane back from turkey were not wearing masks.
This discussion went on for a while. Discussion of priority boarding was a
topic discussed as Chris was offered it on his way back from turkey, he
was also offered a wheelchair, he did not need one.
The hashtag issue reared its head again for a while with participants
trying to figure out what its purpose is. It was compared to drugs because
of the name.
Voice control/iPhone
One of the participants asked what the purpose of voice control was. It is
a way of controlling your phone by giving it voice commands. The note
taker used it to take a picture of themselves in the past. Jackie
described her fantastic stand she bought to hold her iPhone. She compared
it to a microphone stand. She uses it for teams and zoom and for voice
dream scanner it has improved the quality of the scanner. It cost her
eighteen euro. The issue of hashtag raised itself from the deep briefly
like a dolphin jumping out of the water before going under again briefly.
It is called number on a keyboard with JAWS. Paul pressed all the keys on
his keyboard but could not find it. Cearbhall found it on his keyboard.
Jackie’s dog Sasha joined briefly in the meeting to contribute to the
discussion of hashtag keys. This was a persistent issue throughout the
meeting as you can easily infer.
Zoom/Teams meetings
Cearbhall said he worked on zoom during the week. His goal was to set up a
meeting during the week, but he faced difficulty. A number of participants
were able to do it. To do it enter the schedule option on the home menu
and follow the instructions from that point. Different methods were
discussed. Participants had a few diverse ways of doing it. Teams was
brought up it is extremely easy to do it on outlook. Jackie gave us her
method. You enter the calendar. This created significant discussion during
the tech club. Whoever created the meeting is the host and can open a
meeting.
Ken mentioned that he did teams screenshare for the first time in teams.
He found it to be interesting. He got a small bit of help from Jackie in
practicing for doing it. Ken found it to be very fiddly but, in the end,
he found it worked very well for him. Hashtag came back here to briefly.
Screen sharing is different on an iPad in comparison to an iPad you need
to go to more calling options to find it on an iPhone. Share on an iPad.
Trying to figure out how to do it on the laptop came up control and e is
the key command to do it. ken wondered if you could share audio books
through share screen, Jackie said you could not do this. Stuart suggested
finding audio books on you tube to get it to work, Jackie said drop box
might work we left ken to figure this out. Comparisons of teams and zoom
as platforms commenced for a while. You can do a lot more as a participant
to control a teams meeting as opposed to zoom where the host has more
strict controls over a meeting.
Zoom screen sharing.
Martha suggested downloading a sample of an audiobook to your desktop as a
way of screensharing on teams. Jackie did not think this would work as it
is streamed not downloaded. Ken attempted to share an audiobook to see if
it would work during the meeting It surprisingly did work to the shock of
all participants. Ken entered zoom, turned on video, share content,
screen, start broadcast and microphone is on. Press home then selected his
book. This was zoom however, Jackie said she would evaluate this with ken
on teams to determine is similar results appeared at a later point.
Discussion of audiobooks went on for a while after this. A number of
participants said they do not like listening to eBooks on iPhone. They did
not like the voices. Jackie said she is planning to update her phone to
try out the new features coming in IOS 16. The lidar functions that will
allow us to detect doors through the camera interested her. Only the
twelve pro and up will have these features. Jackie sh
rw
ed
her favourite voice dream voice Graham, she did this through screen
share. Graham was sleepy but eventually woke up and wowed the audience
with his fantastic vocals. She got him to read the windows jaws guide
Cearbhall sent a number of months ago. Jackie said she shared her screen
the same way ken did to share his audiobook previously. For some strange
reason voice over does not come through with screen share on zoom. Ken
decided to assess if a sample of an audiobook from a website would share
as well as a full book. Ken swore quite vulgarly for some strange
inexplicable reason he continued engaging in this behaviour for a few
minutes. Then he started humming to himself and the audience for some
reason. He faced quite a number of difficulties; however, he eventually
was successful. If you are not focused on the zoom call it was discovered
that you could not here the audio.
Revolute/ text frauds
Ken said he got a revolute message yesterday that said his account was
locked. It was fake be careful of these messages. Martha said she is a
major fan of revolute as she can transfer money easily. She got two
buttons saying request and send. Request means that you ask for money from
someone while send means that you will send them money. Do not add an
extra zero by accident. It was advised that you double check that your
money has gone through Jackie offered to help all you have to do is send
her ten euro. Discussion of other fraudulent messages continued. Jackie
mentioned a Post having one wherein you are told a package has arrived and
you can be charged two euro. Jackie checked in the post office and was
reassured that it was fake. Other participants provided their experiences
with fraud text messages and e-mails. Stuart said he nearly got caught
with the caburies fraud around easter. The note taker advises that
everyone be incredibly careful with these messages. Participants
