Technology Club Notes 2nd October 2023</div><div><br /></div><div>Good morning,
it's me, the note taker, here to provide you with a summary of the Dublin
Technology Club meeting that took place on the 2nd of October. Can't
believe it's nearly time for Halloween already. Sit back and enjoy the
read.</div><div><br /></div><div>Apologies given.</div><div><br /></div><div>11
participants</div><div><br /></div><div>3 early birds joined the meeting early.
Vera asked Stuart how to add a profile picture to Zoom. Jackie advised going to
"More," selecting your name, and choosing "Profile Picture."
This led to a discussion on how to join a Zoom meeting, including joining by
history and joining by a link.</div><div><br /></div><div>Martin inquired about
Be My AI. He mentioned that it keeps beeping when he tries to take a picture.
Jackie explained that it's due to the influx of new users recently. This
spurred a discussion on Be My AI in general. Ann Marie asked what beta testing
involves. Stuart clarified that it's used to identify any bugs and issues
before a software product is released to the public. Participants shared their
feedback on the app overall; they are very satisfied with the quality of
descriptions it provides to users. It was compared to Seeing AI and other image
description apps.</div><div><br /></div><div>A brief discussion about guide
dogs and their varying behaviors ensued. Jackie expressed her admiration for Be
My AI’s ability to read text and translate it into English, citing an instance
of it translating from Turkish to English. The group was quite impressed. Eamon
mentioned he used it to describe a person on television.</div><div><br
/></div><div>Mary inquired if anyone had updated to iOS 17, mentioning she was
encountering a focusing bug with VoiceOver. Stuart reported losing Siri
functionality entirely and hopes for a resolution soon.</div><div><br
/></div><div>Tom shared issues with the RTE app, noting it resolves whenever he
opens the BBC Radio app. This led to a discussion about the apps, though no
conclusive reason for Tom’s issue was determined. Paudie hypothesized that the
apps might be conflicting with each other. Tom also shared a story about using
Be My Eyes to describe his family members.</div><div><br /></div><div>Declan
visited and informed the group about the upcoming Sight and Sound Roadshow
taking place this month on the following dates: 9th October at TU Dublin in the
Central Quad, 10th October at Waterford Dooley Hotel, 11th October at the Guide
Dogs Centre in Cork, and 12th October at Connacht Hotel in Galway, from 2 to 7
on all those dates. He also mentioned a webinar on Wednesday with Sight and
Sound featuring Fighting Blindness on AMD, and will be distributing the link to
the FB list.</div><div><br /></div><div>Mary questioned about the technology to
be showcased at the event. Jackie said a broad spectrum of technology will be
on display.</div><div><br /></div><div>Tom shared some insights about
Bookshare, stating that you can now access their collection easily through
Voice Dream, which also now offers all Voice Dream voices for
free.</div><div><br /></div><div>The note taker had to depart at this point.
Hope everyone enjoyed the read today.</div><div>Regards,</div><div>The Note
Taker</div><div dir="ltr"><b>Sent from my
