Subject: [fb-exchange] Tech group Monday 8 May
Today we had 10 participants. Initial debate revolved around my issue with
free now taxi app. Up until recently my home showed up as my pickup when I
wished to use the app from home. Recently my address shows up as a house
about 600m down the road, and I have to manually enter my pickup. I have
checked this with other navigation apps and my home showes up correctly.
Following Cearbhall's suggestion I will re enter my address in the app, and
see how this might work. Martin had a query about NBDA updates, Cearabhall
indicated that these wer advising of what updates were coming up down the
line. Discussion was had about Heble1 a new Braille device which he recently
won in a competition. Normal cost is 350 euro. Mary is having difficulty
setting stops in the new TFI app. Particularly finding the add button.
Michael indicated that tax relief on adapted cars whats not available to the
blind. Inn the North of Ireland payments are made to lease a car in which a
blind person can b e driven in. Tom is aware of a person who was successful
in recieveing funding from the HSE,as the car was needed for him to use for
work.Annette had a query about the Shell phone, Martin will meet her soon and
go through this item with her. This phone has tactile buttons,and can also
be controlled with speech, and apps may also be added.tom asked about the
virtual be my eye development. This has not yet been released.Annette has an
issue with borrow box,as in the books were not downloading correctly. Mary
advised that the first option on Borrow box is for Ebooks and you need to
select audio book to ensure the book is in audible format. Michael has a
problem with blind square as it gives no information when in the countryside.
