Acold and frosty day in south west Dublin, but only 2 weeks left for Winter.
Paul has a question on using the MYGOVID, SITE
He opens this site, enters his E_ mail address, and then tabs to the next
box, where he must enter his password.
After this, a verification code is sent to his smart phone, and he must
enter this code.
But where does he enter this code?
Cearbhall says just type on your desktop the code, and hopefully this is
the correct edit field.
If this does not work, then after you get the code on your phone, press the
letter E to bring you to the correct edit field.
If this does not work, Eamon suggested using the Jaws key ( INSERT KEY) +
F5 TO bring up the various links, and arrow down until you hear edit field,
and press here, and hopefully this is the correct field.
.
Great help was given here to Paul, from Eamonn, Michael,
ANDCearbhall.
Martin told us of a great new podcast , called Blind Guy Talks Tech, by
Steve Scott formerly of the R.N.I.B.
Should be well worth listening to, and one should subscribe. To get these
podcasts.
Paul had a question on those emojes , he seems to have problem in getting
the right one in quick time to add to a reply.
Stuart, says that there is a more button with your favourite ones for a
quick response.
Annette is thinking of trying to improve her typing skills, using all the
correct fingers, and getting more speed.
Paul said that he uses all his fingers and has a good speed, thanks to some
nifty cassette tapes.
He got them from the ncbi, a number of years ago, about 12 years ago and
playing them on his recorder, they gave instructions on typing a myriad of
words , using the correct fingers. ,
Perhaps Annette could contact the ncbi, to see if they have some help on
sound to help her to achieve her goals.
There was a programme a number of years called Mavis Beakon , which was a
great tutorial on typing correctly and at a good speed, but it was only
suitable for sighted people.
Declan says that the next time a student contacts the vip list to see if
there is anything they could do , to improve accessability for using smart
phone and laptops, .
One could suggest that they could invent a programme using sound to help
vip's to learn to type properly using all fingers and at a good speed.
Eamonn wanted to know if there was any tutorial or podcasts on using the
Amazon Fire Tablet.
The fire tablet has voice view, as a help for visually impaired people.
Declan said that this link could help Eamonn.

Eamonn had a problem earlier with another Zoom meeting.
He found himself in the American Zoom, and had moved from his spot where he
was getting on fine, and found he could not get back to where he was
originally.
Cearbhall said he must use the back to front Z gesture where when used
correctly moves you back to where you were.
John told us of the new range of smart phones, which will have no sim cards.
It seems that they are on the way in the not too distant future.
Bob has not got the message yet for this weeks meetings, and wonders how
he can get them quicker.
Cearbhall suggested using control +letter M, TO push them through quicker.
Paul using BBC SOUND, has radio Cyrmu as his default station, and although
He loves Welsh people , he speaks no Welsh.
He does not have a problem in changing this and listening to radio 4 or 5
live.
But when he does this , it reverts to radio cymru, the next time. That's
all folks
Paul
