Jackie was telling us about purchasing a pair of Apple Airpods 3rd Generation.
She is very pleased with them and she was using them on todays meeting. She
sounded good.
Jackie and Ken both followed up from last weeks meeting on switching devices
with their aftershokz. Both people reported that holding in the volume up and
volume down buttons didn't work.
This started a conversation on pairing various different types of bluetooth
devices.
Ken then spoke about a bug that was faced by a few members, when audio would go
low. Ken discovered that just locking the screen without returning to the home
screen left his audio normal. Cearbhall recommended that he turn off audio
ducking.
Settings, Accessibility, voiceOver, audio, then toggle on or off audio ducking.
Ken sent an attachment from his laptop however. He wanted to check it on his
phone. Professor Cearbhall talked Ken through making a setting change On his
lapon his laptop. So the attachment could be open on his laptop and phone. The
format on his phone was ODT.
Paul was asking about copying and pasting from pages. Ken wrote a sentence and
using the rotor he copied and pasted into a text message. He then saved the
pages document and shared it via email. When emailing a pages doc you first
must convert it into a format that non apple users could read so IE word or
PDF.
Martin was asking how to forward an email. Jackie said in the native mail app
go to reply options and forward is an option here.
Jackie was saying about her experience with using the WeWalk cane, it wasn't
overly positive.
This then started a conversation on other GPS apps like soundscape.

online meeting platforms, for instance Microsoft teams and zoom. Several
members shared their own experiences.

cost. Jackie shared her excellent knowledge of them with him. Cearbhall And
Martin both suggested speaking to Tom.
Sean wanted to know how to recover YouTube on his Computer. Cearbhall Suggested
more than likely it got moved to the recycle bin.
Dominique made Stuart aware that some of his emails were appearing in some
funny kind of code to the FB mailing list.
