Hello Bob you are correct
There is also seeing-assistant home for the iPhone.
It is packed with loads of different apps.
I forgot about the app this morning.
The same developer has a gps app called seeing-assistant move.

Subject: [fb-exchange] another qr code reading app
Hi, I use Android but came across this app and I think there is a version for
Iphones. Look it up.
The app is: seeing assistant home.
It scans codes
Scans NFC - near field communications, so you can transfer files from one phone
to another.
Light detector.
Magnifier.
Text detector.
Does more but you have to cough up to get the extra goodies.
It looks quite good and is being updated from time to time.
There are two other apps. I have not yet looked at them.
Seeing assistant move app.
And a game that uses echoes of different locations to play with families.
Echo from say a train station, forest, small room, open area, guess where you
are from the echo.
Not yet looked at the above in full, just browsing various apps.
Bob C.

Hello Folks, At last I can report that Summer weather has arrived at least for
the next few days.
There were 12 Participants for today's lively meeting.
Most people were able to Log onto today's Tech club by entering the Password
supplied by Declan.
Most people were prompted to enter a password when opening the Zoom meeting.
Mary wanted to know what the best QR reader was?
Albert /Cearbhall said that a QR reader was built into the camera on your smart
Iphone.
You must point your camera at the QR code, which nowadays can be on some
Tourist attractions at home or abroad in back view camera mode.
Also Cearbhall pointed out that a QR reader was also available in the Seeing AI
app.
Mary who travels the world on a weekly basis, said on a recent visit to Italy,
many tourist attractions had QR codes on them, where when one pointed their
camera at the code, a piece of text would appear on your phone with all the
relevant history.
Paul wondered if this works with voice over to give you an audio description
of the tourist site?
More discussion commenced about the recent beta version of Soundscape.
Some developers are working on taking over and creating a new version of
Soundscape.
Yours truly is among those in trying out the new app, to see if it works as
well as
As the recent Soundscape app which is now no longer being supported.
Those trying the beta version will report back to the new developers with their
findings shortly.
Tom wanted to know more about Face Recognition. Mary uses this facility for
opening many of her apps, like payment apps, Insurance apps, and some web
sites.
One must said up Face Recognition by holding the phone about 12-16 feet in
front of your face and move the phone around 360 degrees , to cover a variety
of face poses.
Mary who was a lively contributor to the meeting, had another problem with her
Revolut card.
She sent some money via Revolut to a friend in her contact list. But the friend
did not get the money as she does not use Revolut, but she said that her
husband had a card.
However the money left Mary's account but could not be obtained by her friend.
Mary says that the money has left her but is now in no man's land.
She is wondering if there is a way of recalling the money transaction.
Bert said that she should open theTransfer link on her Revolut app, and look
for recall transaction, she will try this over the next day or so.
Jackie who recently took the podcast market by storm with her appearance on
the most recent NCBI TECHNOLOGY podcast. Told us of a brilliant new Braille
device. It's called the Braille Doodle.
The works rather like the childrens device, where a child can draw or sketch,
and then clean the screen by simply pulling out where they have drawn to clean
the pad, so they can then do a new sketch.
he Braille Doodle, has one side where somebody can draw or sketch, and when
finished a blind person can feel the drawing, say one sketches a house, then a
vision impaired can feel the outside of the house, the door, the chimney or
the walls of the house.
This is a fantastic way of explaining to a blind person what an object is
really like , like a motor car or a hotel.
While on the other side of the Braille machine is a selection of steel balls
which educate a child on learning the Braille language.
The was a lot of talk on the newTFI transport for Ireland app, which a lot of
people find very hard to navigate.
The old Dublin bus and Real time apps have now disappeared and have been
replaced by this new TFI transport app, which gives times for buses, trains ,
and of course the Luas.
Other topics concerned the various programmes available through Sky, like Sky
Glass, SKY PLUS, and sky go. As yours truly is a reluctant Virgin media
customer , and knows little regarding the machinations of the SKY set ups,
I will not attempt to describe these programmes.
That's all folks
Paul
Ps congratulations to Munster in winning the URC TROPHY by defeating the
Stormers in South Africa.
