Hello Folks, At last I can report that Summer weather has arrived at least
for the next few days.
There were 12 Participants for today's lively meeting.
Most people were able to Log onto today's Tech club by entering the
Password supplied by Declan.
Most people were prompted to enter a password when opening the Zoom meeting.
Mary wanted to know what the best QR reader was?
Albert /Cearbhall said that a QR reader was built into the camera on your
smart Iphone.
You must point your camera at the QR code, which nowadays can be on some
Tourist attractions at home or abroad in back view camera mode.
Also Cearbhall pointed out that a QR reader was also available in the Seeing
AI app.
Mary who travels the world on a weekly basis, said on a recent visit to
Italy, many tourist attractions had QR codes on them, where when one pointed
their camera at the code, a piece of text would appear on your phone with
all the relevant history.
Paul wondered if this works with voice over to give you an audio
description of the tourist site?
More discussion commenced about the recent beta version of Soundscape.
Some developers are working on taking over and creating a new version of
Soundscape.
Yours truly is among those in trying out the new app, to see if it works as
well as
As the recent Soundscape app which is now no longer being supported.
Those trying the beta version will report back to the new developers with
their findings shortly.
Tom wanted to know more about Face Recognition. Mary uses this facility for
opening many of her apps, like payment apps, Insurance apps, and some web
sites.
One must said up Face Recognition by holding the phone about 12-16 feet in
front of your face and move the phone around 360 degrees , to cover a
variety of face poses.
Mary who was a lively contributor to the meeting, had another problem with
her Revolut card.
She sent some money via Revolut to a friend in her contact list. But the
friend did not get the money as she does not use Revolut, but she said that
her husband had a card.
However the money left Mary's account but could not be obtained by her
friend.
Mary says that the money has left her but is now in no man's land.
She is wondering if there is a way of recalling the money transaction.
Bert said that she should open theTransfer link on her Revolut app, and look
for recall transaction, she will try this over the next day or so.
Jackie who recently took the podcast market by storm with her appearance on
the most recent NCBI TECHNOLOGY podcast. Told us of a brilliant new Braille
device. It's called the Braille Doodle.
The works rather like the childrens device, where a child can draw or
sketch, and then clean the screen by simply pulling out where they have
drawn to clean the pad, so they can then do a new sketch.
he Braille Doodle, has one side where somebody can draw or sketch, and when
finished a blind person can feel the drawing, say one sketches a house, then
a vision impaired can feel the outside of the house, the door, the chimney
or the walls of the house.
This is a fantastic way of explaining to a blind person what an object is
really like , like a motor car or a hotel.
While on the other side of the Braille machine is a selection of steel balls
which educate a child on learning the Braille language.
The was a lot of talk on the newTFI transport for Ireland app, which a lot
of people find very hard to navigate.
The old Dublin bus and Real time apps have now disappeared and have been
replaced by this new TFI transport app, which gives times for buses, trains
, and of course the Luas.
Other topics concerned the various programmes available through Sky, like
Sky Glass, SKY PLUS, and sky go. As yours truly is a reluctant Virgin media
customer , and knows little regarding the machinations of the SKY set ups,
I will not attempt to describe these programmes.
That's all folks
Paul
Ps congratulations to Munster in winning the URC TROPHY by defeating the
Stormers in South Africa.
