Subject: [fb-exchange] FB Exchange Cork Minutes 7th October 2023
In attendance, 10 participants
Apologies received.
Martin and Anne-Marie spoke about their experiences of using Be My AI. There
was very positive feedback on it. Martin asked could someone give a
demonstration of using the ask more feature in it. Ken demonstrated this
feature.
We spoke about the world channel on Seeing AI and the app clew. people shared
their experiences of using these apps. With clew being the preferred app. Ken
tried to map out an indoor route during the week on seeing AI but was not
impressed. As it gave very little feedback in a busy environment.
Here is the link to Clew for anyone that’s interested.

Anne-Marie shakes her phone allot. We were told this was to find my location
using blind square but the group doubtful.
Jackie spoke how it would be cool if there could be a camera connected to
your phone and use apps like Seeing AI, Be my eyes and other apps. Adrian
said it could be possible but different permissions need to be given to allow
this. Its good we know its possible just apple and app developers need to
work on this and not costing thousand's.
Cearbhall was asking about different methods of finding out if a bus has
arrived. People suggested be my eyes. Also Having a small sign of the bus
number at the bus stop and the moovit app. Cearbhall will try out Moovit.
Here is the link to the Moovit app.

Cearbhall was saying about his battery only lasting 4 hours. The Group felt
Bluetooth drainss the battery And also was suggested to close apps in app
switcher.
Anne-Marie was asking about IOS17. Jackie said she finds siri more snappy and
she has it speaking faster. Jackie also said about VO doesn't announcing the
first word she types. Stuart still has issues with siri.
Martin was at an event during the week for people with disability rights. Its
called dessa. he said it was very positive.
Jackie was asking Stuart when is he getting his new iPhone 15. Stuart says he
is getting it Tuesday. An hour after getting an email to confirm from DHL
when it is due. He got a fake email proclaiming it was from DHL. Lucky Stuart
was on the ball. Best of luck with your new phone from the group Stuart.
Ken ask Adrian how he managed to convert the phone numbers Into links to
dial in to the Zoom meetings. Adrian said he managed to separate the meeting
ID from the phone number using commas So this means if anyone rings in to the
meeting they won’t need to put in the meeting ID or press the hash button.
The group spoke about the security using Microsoft Teams. Any participant
can see who is in the lobby when they are not admin. Or mute any participant.
Or Remove them from the meeting.
Anne-Marie led a discussion on how inaccessible touchscreen pay terminals
are. She asked what we can do to stop this.
The meeting ended.
All The Best,
Ken
