Hi Jackie and all
Firstly Jackie your notes are fantastic, very entertaining.
Thanks for the discussion on washing machines. I ended up buying a Beko because
it seemed straightforward to use.
Martha I also use Webex and to be honest it is not a great experience with
VoiceOver either.
Joan Ann.

Subject: [fb-exchange] CorkTech Club 22nd of May
Welcome all inside the magical kingdom of the Cork Tech Club.
The members this morning are as follows:
Des Keaney, Ken Walsh, Derry Walsh, Chris Egan, Martha Parkinson, Noreen
Meagher, Pat McCarthy, Jackie McBrearty, Dominique Farrell, Martin Kelly,
Cearbhall O'Meadhra, Sean Kavanagh and Clare Cassidy.
We had sorries from Gavin Allman.
This mornings discussion started about washing machines. Ken told us a question
was asked by JoanAnn. So JoanAnn we discovered all men present accept for
Martin Kelly had views on this the three machines mentioned for their nobs and
buttons were Indesit, Beko and Logic. Martin uses the Logic and finds it very
easy to use, while our other men just know the location of the machines in
their homes.
Martha was asking about Webex. none of us had used it so Martha explained.
Webex is a platform like zoom that connects people together. Martha had no
issues with the dry run but in the actual meeting she couldn't get in. Martha
in the end gave up and joined the meeting using her phone.Jackie brought up
about Whatsapp. when in a group message with voice messages voiceover can lose
focus as instead of tapping on the message to play it the user must now tap on
PTT play. Jackie who is quite shy and very polite contacted whatsapp and after
she got cross they told her they are working on a fix.
Ken brought up about the setting that was changed that allowed others to add
you to a group without knowing them. so to change this back to contacts only go
to :
1. Settings.
2. account.
3. privacy.
4. Groups.
Change the groups to contacts and not everyone.
Clare was asking about hosting a meeting in zoom. Clare was given host controls
and was unsure how to let people in from the waiting room. Instructions was
given on how to do this to enable Clare successfully host. Ken and Jackie both
agreed the ding dong is very important to alert the host there is someone in
the waiting room.This is done by going into more and meeting settings and look
for play sound. disclaimer (was unable to double check the actual words as not
hosting a meeting at the moment).
If clare has the sound on and goes into the participant list and once someone
enters the meeting tap on admit.
Then to pass over either full host or CoHost tap on the persons name and
follow the instructions. its vital you check your giving the correct person the
control as once you give the position of host to someone you can't take it back.
Martin is to report next week about his access group. they use zoom 40min mode
but everyone rings in. Martin is going to test how its done using a computer.
Cearbhall was telling us about his voiceover freezing during the week. Other
people reported the same issue and a 3 finger double tap generally brings
voiceover back.
Cearbhall also has an issue with VO going low into the background when audio is
playing. We thought the issue was sorted but its a work in progress.
Chris is still very happy with his TPLink plug for his wifi extender. Chris's
wife is also very happy with it. Cearbhall is very interested in how this plug
works and this author can honestly see him purchasing one and pushing it to its
limits. Dominique was telling us about NCBI labs live event.. Dominique starred
in the section seeing it your way. Its on the labs podcast and its around
30mins in. This podcast can be pulled up on Alexa and its also available on
youtube.
Sean has sadly lost his tinkle in outlook. Cearbhall directed him to open the
file menu, arrow up to ease of access and there is a thing here about sounds.
This author may have skipped a step so perhaps Cearbhall can post the steps. We
hope Sean finds his tinkle in outlook.
Fungie the Dolphin was discussed and its not good that Siri talks about him in
the past tense so float free big guy. The merits of fried sausages and boiled
sausages also got a mention.
This author is off to eat a chocolate Eclair with a lovely cuppa.
