On a cold but largely dry day in the capitol, there were a number of people
at the door for our meeting at 10.45!
These eager beavers were joined by others to make our participants 13 for
today's meeting.
There was a lot of talk regarding the Revolut card. Jackie said that she
found it more difficult to navigate lately.
When she goes to get her money balance she says that this is very difficult.
Mary said that she goes to the top left hand side of the screen and scrolls
down until she hears the word Euro. . Here a little further down she hears
her balance called out. Bert also a Revolut card user, says that he opens
the card app, and then using the rotor wheel he goes to containers and
swiping up from the bottom, until he hears his balance, this seems a good
way to find out your balance.
Mary told Paul that she finds the card great for splitting bills in
restaurants, and transferring money to different accounts. All one has to do
to transfer money is to click on a person's mobile number, you don't even
need their account, and the money will transfer without a hitch.
Clare waxed lyrically about her recent visit to the Abbey theatre to see an
Audio described play called THE WEIR. Mary had encouraged her to try out
going to the Abbey and she found it brilliant.
Staff and other vip people were very helpful, and the whole experience was
very good.
Thanks Clare for sharing your experience of an audio described play.
Tom wanted to know if he could listen to programmes on his smart phone using
audio description?.
Stuart told him to go to settings, then accessibility , and arrow down to
audio description and to make sure that this was turned on.
Mary also complained that many times in looking for cooking recipes, she
gets a U Tube video which is just silent in describing the ingreediants..
Stuart said that even if audio description is turned on, it will only work
if the programme is made with audio provided. Some older films were not made
with audio description in mind, but today's films are mostly made with audio
description as an option for those people who need it.
Michael wanted to know if using NVDA , HE COULD HAVE the spoken content
read out phonetically?
Cearbhall told him that the number 5 on the keyboard at the right hand side
of the desktop pressed down fast engages Phonettics
Each letter will have things like A (ALPHA)B(bRAVO) and so on.
It's the same for those using Jaws but Michael wants the whole text read
out phonetically, and Cearbhall is investigating whether there is a key
stroke to enable this to take place.
There was talk of healthy batteries and whether if this is turned on, it
slows up the charging process.
May we wish good luck for Ireland in their forthcoming six nations rugby
union clash with Scotland.
Plus can we recommend some new training tactics for Manchester United after
their hammering by Liverpool.
That's all folks
Paul

Papa , alpha, uniform, lima.
