Hello Folks, it's a bit wintery not at all like a day in August.
Hopefully we will get another few days of Summer in September.
However we have the Rugby world cup to look forward to, on Saturday
week, the 9th of September, with Ireland playing their opening
fixture against Rumania.
There were 11 Participants for today's meeting.
Eamonn shared his knowledge about his latest purchase, that is the
Hims sense player. .
https://hims-inc.com/product/senseplayer/
Thanks to Adrian for providing this link, with great information.
This is a product that will read PDF Documents and has a stand which
one assembles for ease of action.
Eamonn bought this from Sight and Sound, and it's a South Korean product.
It comes with a telephone number pad, and can be connected to your Wifi.
Eamonn reports that the battery life seems very good.
It is rather expensive but Eamonn is very happy with the purchase, and
is now working on reclaiming the VAT on the product.
The Hims sense care , OCR, machine sounds really good, and we await
more talk on it's uses from Eamonn over the next few weeks.
At this juncture we learned that both Eamonn and Albert are regular
listeners to that long running radio serial THE ARCHERS on BBC Radio 4.
Bert has been listening since the early 1950's !!
Jackie reclaimed VAT on her recent purchase of a Robo vac hoover
recently and gave the name of the access officer who helped her with
her claim to Eamonn.
There was more Talk on those mobility apps like Soundscape Community
and Voicevista.
One can ask Siri to download the new Voicevista app, which Bert has
done, but has not tried using yet.
Bert has noticed that his Voicevista has has had many updates and this
is a good sign.
Jackie is raving about Be my eyes latest venture. You can photograph
an object and you will get a thorough description on what your looking
at, and can ask follow up questions as well.
Mary using Seeing ai, after setting up Siri shortcuts for reading
Shorttexts.
To enable this short cut, open the Seeing ai menu, , then go to
Settings, , configure shortcuts, and select the shortcut that you
want, like currency, short text document or colour identifier or all
of them if you like.
Then simply ask Siri, open currency or read currency for me, or
whatever words suit your needs.
Bert said that the short text is very good, as it does not go to the
internet but goes to the cloud.
Seeing ai, is also good for those with no sight, to tell them, whether
the lights are on or off.
There was also talk on air pods, air tickets and a generic version of
air pods, which Mary uses and is much much cheaper.
Also talk onthat new braille keyboard, and the forthcoming course on
using braille.
As I had a Plumber also talking to me as he grappled with fitting in
a new cylinder immersion tank, I may have missed a few items.
That's all Folks.
Paul
PS. Thanks to Lady W who was standing in for Cearbhall who was also
having a visit from a Plumber.
