Subject: [fb-exchange] FB Exchange Cork Tech Club 21st October 2023

In attendance, 11 participants.

Apologies received.

Martin wanted to find out why Gmail  is removing its `basic HTML version. The
group  spoke about Gmail  HTML and standard view. The shortcuts used in the
HTML version will work on the standard view. This won't affect people who are
using an email client for checking their emails.

Adrian has posted an article  to the list regarding this.

Here is another link for anyone that is interested.

Anne-Marie was asking how accessible google Chrome is for searching  using
NVDA. Cearbhall said it works quite well with NVDA.

Jackie  spoke about a strange bluetooth issue that she could only pair her
apple magic bluetooth keyboard and that it wouldn't reconnect to her phone.
Jackie had to connect  them again after the keyboard displayed unusual
behaviour. When she tried to repair it wouldn't show up. In the end she removed
two braille devices. After she reconnected the magic keyboard she was able to
pair the braille devices again.

This started a conversation about connecting other bluetooth devices like
earphones and keyboards.

Tom mentioned that his battery life on his after shokz wasn’t lasting as long
as before.

This led to Anne-Marie asking for a brief description of the after shokz.
Cearbhall and several members giving a brief description.

Cearbhall received an image file. He asked how to share it with the likes of
voiceDream or Be my AI. We all said to share with what ever you want.once this
is done it will open in what ever you are sharing it with

.
We all started talking about voice dream reader and scanner. Then the group
spoke about other scanning apps and scanners that are available on the
computers.

Jackie said she got her orbit 20+ updated. Then Jackie and Cearbhall started
talking about grade2 Braille. This was interesting.

Anne-Marie spoke about teams what  She is liking and not liking on teams.
Anne-Marie  said she prefers teams on the iPad seems the laptop is much less
accessible.

Cearbhall said try pressing either F2 or FN and F2 to rename a file. This is a
windows method. So it may not work on teams.

This started a conversation on the accessibility of teams and the difficulties
of joining different meetings.

The group  spoke about the verious voiceover voices.

Kamil  was asking about braille displays. Cearbhall told him all about
different braille devices he could use for his course on coding. There was many
different suggestions given. The Orbit 40 and the Focus40. Kamil will
investigate it further.

Martin and Tom  wanted to know did anyone go to the site and sound Roadshow in
Dublin. Adrian was there and had a look at the InvisionAI glasses  and several
magnification devices.

Kamil wanted to know has anyone ordered the Apple Pro headset. None of the
group had ordered this device.

Here is a link explaining what they are.

Stuart wanted to know has anyone used the seeing AI feature in seeing AI yet.
He much prefers be my AI.

The meeting ended.

All The Best,

Ken
