Hello folks,  thanks to Adrian/Stuart/Marti, who compiled notes while I was
lying low with covert.

Winter has come in with a bang,

Were  past Halloween and heading towards Christmas.

Hoping I  will not have to suffer Christmas songs or jingles until December.

There were 9 Participants for today's Dublin Tech meeting.

While talking about Zoom meetings, Adrian wanted to know if anybody has
tried to log onto a Zoom meeting using their Ecco show device.

Mary tried this in real time without success. It seems according to
Stuart/Adrian that one  must ask Alexa to send a link to your smart phone to
get this started.

Rather like setting up BBC SOUND.

Adrian and Mary have offered to try and access Zoom doing this with the link
that Alexa will send to their phones, and report back to our next meeting.

We  all welcomed Tom back to our Monday meetings after his recent illness.
Tom wanted to know if he could use  or change  Alexa's voice while using his
Kindle machine.

Tom changed his Alexa voice but when he started his book on Kindle, it
reverted to the usual Kindle voice.

Cearbhall checked this out, and it seems that this is not possible at the
moment.

Marti  who was gifted a brand new Ipad, wanted  some information on
transferring her smart phone information from her  phone to  her new Ipad.

Stuart said that she should log on using her Iphone  password, and
everything should be available.

She also has some nice Ear Buds, and wants to know how to use them.

Presumably they are digital and she should go to settings, Blue tooth,  and
she  will find them in her discoverable devices. The name and make of the
Ear buds will be called out and you click here to connect them.

She also got advice on how to increase her gig memory.

Most people use that offer of 99 cents per month for an extra 50 Gigabytes
of memory.

Mary complained about the fact that Alexa was reading  to her a book that
she read about a year ago, and not the book that she is currently reading.

Joe said that she should check this out on her Amazone Alexa on her phone.
She should ask Alexa to read her current book, giving the name of the book
and the author.

Mary will do this and report back to the meeting.

Mary wondered how she can get the ingrediants for some house desserts she
was looking at on Utube.

Stuart and Adrian said that she should  find the title of the Utube video
she is watching and when she sees the name , she should double click here
and arrow right  until she sees the list of ingrediants for this recipe if
not she should click more, to find  this

There was a big discussion on the survey undertaken by people in Cork to
find out how vision impaired persons get on with their chemist of choice.

It seems that one of the most annoying things to  people  with no sight  or
very little, is that many pharmacies cover the braille that is on the
medicine box with perhaps a price  ticket.

Mary and Cearbhall suggested to Paul that he should request a blister packet
for his medicines. Then his medicine would be  ready for a day by day
dosage and this is great for keeping an eye   to see that one takes the
right amount  on the right day.

It seems that this is a very worthwhile survey and could result in some good
improvements with contact with your local pharmacy.

Joe has a problem with his Alexa device, when increasing   the volume of
sound  there is a 25 second delay   before this happens. This happens when
listening to the radio. Paul wondered if this only happened when listening
to the radio, and Joe will check this out.

The meeting concluded by wishing Stuart good luck for his forthcoming Blind
Tennistournanent  being held

In Wrexham.

Go for it Stuart.

That's all folks

Paul
