There was an initial discussion on voting at the upcoming agm for
fighting blindness.
Some people are now trained into using the election buddy software to
vote on the day. Then there was some advice given on how to use your
proxy vote if not joining the virtual agm on December 4th. .
Technical talk then got underway.
Mary still is having problems, her video camera is not working while
Zooming. She can see all the participants using her video camera, but
nobody c can see Mary. Albert/Cearbhall think that there is a problem
with the camera drivers.
Mary also has her Jaws software which is corrupted.
She got onto BE MY EYES, who connected her to the Microsoft help
team, which uninstalled the latest version of Jaws and reinstalled
the Jaws software again, but this made no difference.
Next they uninstalled Windows 10, and reinstalled it again, but this
also had no effect in curing her Jaws problem.
Albert suggested that she go to the utility menu for Jaws and go down
to Voice assist, and turn this off .
Also Bert suggested that she try a System restore, but I think this
was tried also to no avail.
.
Mary praised Cearbhall for getting her up and running using NVDA open
source software similar to Jaws. This got Mary out of a lot of
problems until her Jaws software problems are waiting to be resolved by
their agents.
Tom still has problems in using Overdrive when using the ncbi library
books and book share.
Although there is a play and pause button, this does not always work.
Tom sometimes pauses the book, and next time he logs on he has to
start the book again from the beginning.
Martin told us how he pauses his book while on the Amazon Fire
Tablet, he uses voice dream reader to read the books and he can go to
the options menu and select a bookmark.
Bob said that there is a bookmark label on the Android phone for
Overdrive, and Bert said that there is likely a similar button on
the Overdrive software on the Apple phones as well, but perhaps its
not labelled
Gerda has problems with her 2 year old SE apple phone.
She gets the message to install IOS 15.1, but Jackie/Paul said not to
update her phone, as it would not take the updates and perhaps could
ruin her phone.
Cearbhall and others told Gerda to go to settings General and then
turn off automatic updates. This should result in getting rid of
update notifications.
Gerda wants to learn how to use the voice over facility on her Iphone.
Vera has kindly offered to send her via e mail, a list of the
gestures needed to work voice over successfully. Well done Vera.
It was also pointed out to Gerda that if she goes to
settings/general/accessability and swipes right to voice over practice.
Here she can use and practice her voice over gestures without doing
any damage to her mobile.
At this stage yours truly had to entertain the grand daughter, and
left the meeting with Cearbhall asking a question.
That's all folks, asWalt Disney would say.
Paul
