In attendance, 12 participants.
Firstly, Declan wished to thank people for his gifts. He was very grateful for
them and the chocolates were a good support to him for some long meetings.
We all wished him good luck on his new venture. He promised he wouldn't loose
touch with the groups.
Pat was eaten by a Panda. Only participants that were present will understand.
Declan and Emily Giles were on talking about the up and coming workshop. Which
takes place on zoom on July 28th.
E-textiles, otherwise known as electronic textiles. Is a field which combines
together conductive threads, made of silver or steel, with electronics such as
small circuit boards. From these you can create interactive objects. These can
light up, make sound, vibrate or move.
Declan will send out information on how to register. There will be kits posted
out closer to the event.
Jackie was telling us about using soundscape and how she wasn't impressed, she
was on with her sister but she couldn't hear the soundscape voice, so she
needed to end her call until she found where she was. in theory she was at the
right spot so it worked. Jackie said she really needed soundscape as she
needed to hear the direction of shops and streets. it was just disappointing
she had to end her call to hear the voice this doesn't happen with Blindsquare.
It was suggested she look at settings like audio ducking.
Ken spoke further on his NVDA issue and zoom. There is still no real answer but
Ken is not able to hear NVDA while using his aftershokz in a zoom meeting.
Jackie also had the same experience when she tried her aftershokz on her laptop.
Paudi asked people's opinions on getting aftershokz.He got a mixed bag of
advice. Jackie said she finds them good for walking and talking.Chris said he
finds them useless for this purpose. everyone agreed they are quite bad on
teams and zoom meetings when either using an iPad or iPhone.Ken and Jackie both
said the battery was very good.
Jackie spoke about ringing the linked in support on be my eyes. She wasn't
overly happy with the outcome, she was none the wiser when she came off the
call.
A conversation started about linked in and the point of having a profile.
Ken and Paul were talking about games on Alexa. They both lost all their points
on the question of the day. Paul said he got an apology about an error and all
his points were restored. Ken tried his again and all his points were also
restored.
The meeting ended.
All The Best,
Ken
