I can still use the Next Bus app. The Dublin Bus app has been discontinued.
I think people would have to give permission for their names to be announced by
way of a roll call. when we have meetings at the league of the Blind,
especially Christmas dinner, there is usually a list read out of peoples names.

Hi Folks, July is everything that June wasn't!
It's raining often, and not a bit like summer.
There was a very good attendance today with 14 participants.
Yours truly had a problem from the beginning, as he was copying a word
document to e mail to his walk leader, but as he pressed control plus the
letter a to highlight everything, and then went to do control plus letter c
to copy, my finger slipped, and I know not what happened, but the names
disappeared from my word document, and I did not do control plus the letter
z in time, to undo the mistake.
Will try later to see if I can get back the original document.
Eamonn had a question , he wanted to know how, to add a number of apps, to a
folder.
Jackie is our expert on this, and has contributed this instruction for
anybody doing or wanting to do similar to Eamonn.
This is the instructions for moving apps into folders.
1. Swipe up or down until you hear edit, Double tap with one finger.
2. when you hear edit, swipe up or down until you hear drag app, again one
finger double tap.
3. move to what ever page you want the app to go.
4. when you get to where you want the app you swipe up or down and you'll
hear" put app to the left, to the right or create folder, Double tap with
one finger again.
5.
If you want to move multiple apps do the first step then go to each app and
double tap to add it to drag. when you get where you want it located swipe
down, you'll get the option to create folder, double tap to confirm.
6. When finished to stop edit mode press the home button or swipe up or
down until you hear stop editing.
Thanks Lady W.
Jackie had a problem with Audible over the weekend. She wanted to add a
forthcoming book to her wish list, but Audible said that her payment could
not be verified.
No matter what she did she could not resolve this problem, but has E mailed
Amazon to help resolve the problem.
There was a long discussion on the latest situation regarding the various
transport apps.
Albert told us that the very good Next Bus app, has been discontinued.
This is very disappointing to many people especially Bert and Mary.
Bert recommended the Moovit app, as the next best for all using Dublin Bus.
It's easy to use, gives plenty of notice before arriving at your
destination, and in his opinion is vastly superior to the new, TFI app
(transport for Ireland app)
Martin wanted to know, how to get the Bell working on that new mobility app,
called Voice Vista.
He has been adding new markers on this app, to help him navigat his way to
the rail station, He wants to get different sounds to tell him when he
passes a Church, Pub or other good markers.
Well the answer is that this is not possible yet, as the developers have not
got around to allow people sett up sounds or journey times , but this
should be available in the not too distant future.
Tom was complaining that Soundscape was giving him wrong information. Paul
thought that Tom, may have his menu set to What's around me, rather than
the more useful setting of My Location.
Tom will check this out over the next week.
Bert wanted to know how to change his Revolut app to current account,
rather than the credit account.
Jackie said to go to the add money link on his Revolut app, , and here one
can change from Bank of IRELAND to AIB or current account to credit card
account and so forth.
You put in the numbers for whatever account you want Revolut to use.
Mary reported that the attendance at the Visionaries concert in The League
of the Blind premises was a great success, with over 100 - 150 people
attending.
Martin brought up a very valid point, as he sat there he did not know what
other vision impaired people were there, and suggested that in future,
somebody can arrange a roll call for all those vision impaired people, so
they can find their friends and meet some new people while there, after the
concert ends.
This would make the concert more accessible to Blind and vision impaired
people and would make for an even more enjoyable evening.
This is an excellent suggestion by Martin, and Mary promised to bring this
to the attention of the powers to be.
That's all Folks
Paul
