Paul and Co.
According to NCBI folk, the Sounds Scape App will be heading our direction very
shortly so if you can hold out for a few weeks Paul, I guess you can access
this App without going through all the other stuff.
Slainte! From sunny Newbridge

Hi Paul,
When I got the Soundscapes app, I set up an Apple UK account. I think Jackie
did the same. I will search my files and will mail you the steps to follow to
set up same.

Hi all.
Hope that Cearbhall is on double time for his minute taking for two
meetings over the Easter weekend. Very impressive.
I noted the reference to Microsoft Soundscapes at both meetings. I
had understood that ther app was not yet available in Ireland so I
asked Siri to do a search for it in the app store. It came up with no
result and further searches still yielded nothing.
Obviously, I am missing something as some of you have successfully
downloaded it.
Paul

Subject: [fb-exchange] Dublin Meeting 5th. April 2021
in attendance: (4 participants)
Joe Murphy, Mary Lavelle, Michael Brown, Albert brown.
Joe is a frequent user of Soundscapes for which he wears his After
Shokz bone conducting headset, which allows him to hear the
environment around him while keeping a wary ear on the SoundScapes
advice. SoundScapes is produced by Microsoft and is free.
Michael wondered how best to access his contacts in Outlook on the PC.
Bert discovered, recently, that control 3 opens the contacts function.
Alt-v enables changing the view between "People", "Business" and
"card". He advised that the "Card" setting is best for screen reader users.
Cearbhall uses Google as his search engine in Firefox. He finds it a
nuisance to have to step through four different tabs to find the "Agree"
button to accept Google cookies before the search will execute. Even
though he agrees every time Firefox is launched, Google always asks
again for his agreement with cookies. In contrast, He showed that he
also uses Microsoft Edge with Google as the default search engine. In
this case, Google never asks him to accept cookies. In demonstrating
this during the meeting, Google sought permission to use his location
only once and never asked for that permission in subsequent reopening of Edge.
Mary raised an interesting question of connecting Alexa to her old
Bose audio system so that Alexa could be heard in different rooms in the
house.
After some discussion, Bert recommended using a phono lead to connect
with the audio input on her amplifier. Mary and John immediately got
to work and plugged in her old Apple connecting cable between Alexa
and the input socket on the amplifier and now Mary is delighted to
have Alexa in all parts of the house! Just shows you what can be achieved at
the FB-Exchange club!
Happy Easter everyone!
The meeting ended.
All the best,
Cearbhall
