Eleanor! At the Dundalk Walking Weekend, those who attended the Friday
evening information gathering were encouraged to announce their names and as
you know, this element of sharing is a great asset in identifying who is
around the hotel for the weekend...I am very much in favour of this
practicemyself...Martin K

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
Bus.
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
===========================================================
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
