Subject: [fb-exchange] FB Exchange Cork Tech Club 18th September 2021
In attendance, 11 participants,Ken Walsh, Jackie McBrearty, Chris
Egan, Derry Walsh, Martha Parkinson, noreen Meagher, Stuart Haxell,
Cearbhall OMeadhra, Paul Griffith, PatMcCarthy,Clare Cassidy.
Jackie asked Cearbhall what split words meant on the orbit braille reader.
Cearbhall said Split words would ensure the word is complete. Jackie
was confused as there is something called word wrap, these to options
seem to do the same thing. Split words needs to be off and word wrap on.
So Cearbhall is going to put the explanation to the list.
Paul came on asking Alexa about a software update. There may be an
update to some peoples Alexa devices. people just need to ask Alexa is
there a software update. However on the Echo Show you have to go into
the settings to check for an update.
Derry told us about NCBI running Braille grade1 courses. They have had
a massive uptake for this course. So its great that Braille appears to
be making a come back in some small way.
Clare was saying about watching coronation street on Virgin media
with Audio Description. This started a conversation on different programmes
with AD.
People agreed that it can be hit or miss on the Irish channels.
Jackie, Martha and Stuart all said they have the audio description
constantly on with their TV providers. Chris is going to report back
if you can record a programme without AD once you watch it again can
you turn on AD. We look forward to hearing does this work.
Paul Went on at 6am to check his balance on his Bank of Ireland app.
When Paul inserted his three digits the app crashed. When his wife tried to
log
in it took ages for her to transfer money into Jackie's account. Paul was
advised to delete the app. This made things even worse. According to
the bank There is an issue with the app but the fix seemed to be turn
off WIFI and use mobile data. When Paul did this he was able to log in.
This started another discussion about the AIB and BOI app Jackie said
the Bank of Ireland app is messy but the Allied Irish bank app is
much more straight forward.
Cearbhall explained the difference between Wi-Fi and mobile data
networks. He is going to send an explanation on this to the mailing list.
Stuart brought up about IOS 15 which is getting released on Monday.
There is new accessibility features coming up and the major changes
will only work on the iPhone X and above. We spoke about accessibility
features on the iPhone and emergency SOS.
Jackie and Stuart both said how they have called emergency services by
accident when switching off their phones. Chris said that voiceover
seems to go to emergency sos when VO is on and when VO is off then it
goes to switch off. So people need to be careful when switching off their
devices.
Cearbhall asked us all who was using windows 10. There has been an
update, both Jackie and Martha agreed they need to pull their laptops
out before they will require Microsoft be my eyes support. There is a
new thing called feeds this is a new feature to give you what your
interested in. This shows news articles etc. shift tab gets rid of it
but it will be back when you turn on your computer.
Cearbhall asked about what typing mode he should use for WhatsApp.
When he is responding to a message in a group he finds that the
keyboard loses focus. Everyone said to do standard typing. Stuart said
about replying to an individual message, he said to go to the
message and swipe down and double tap on reply.
This started a chat on whatsapp announcing when you've exited a group.
So the work around is muting the group permanently rather than
suffering the wrath of leaving a group.
Martha informed us all if you ring the Department of social
protection, you now get through to a central call centre rather than your
local office.
Paul was enquiring again on how to retrieve emails from his archive in
Outlook. Cearbhall has posted the steps on how to do this to the list.
The meeting ended.
All the best,
Ken
