The meeting got under way with a discussion on Dominique’s Air pods , she
comes across with her voice muffled.
Declan suggested she removed the connection from the back of her PC, to
reconnect again at the front of her PC, hhopefully this could cut out some
of the interference.
Dominique needs sighted assistance to connect them as the ports are very small,
so will try that out later.
According to Cearbhall , you can have 5 devices connected to Bluetooth.
Mary added to stories of bugs after updating to IOS 14.4, she said that her
ringer alert went to zero, without her having done nothing.
Whilst Albert said that updating to ios 14.4, , his external keyboard wont
call out some of the letters.
Mary noticed when using her audible account , that she could see her library
books from her account audible.co.uk in her audible.com . One wonders after
Brexit are the two websites working closer ie audible.com and audible.co.uk.
To find out which one your using go to the link market place.
Bert told Paul, who keeps typing into the address bar of his safari browser,
www.audible.co.uk <http://www.audible.co.uk> ,
That you can do this and swipe to the right, until it calls out share , and
select this share to your home screen, and you have the website always there to
go to then on your home screen. Nice one Bert.
Mary, wants to know how to select two songs from her apple
musicalbums on her apple music, then two other songs from another album, and
to add only the selected tracks to her songs to her play list.
She says that it will only select the whole album, and not the individual
tracks.
Bert says that there is a more button, which will take you to selecting only
the single songs.
Bert is at a loss to know what the direct touch in his settings on his iPhone
12 is for, he thinks that perhaps it is something that Gamers use.
Noreen wanted to know where Bert got his Tile gadget on his keyring from,
Bert bought it from Amazon, for around 20€.
When he presses down on the Tile it will call his phone and alert him to where
his phone is at that moment.
Michael Brown, thought that the Tile gadget was also available from Argus.
The Tile is great for finding anything that your inclined to lose track of, by
finding it and saving you a lot of time and discomfort.
Joe/Martha/Mary told Paul, that Alexa will get any book in the audible library
and downloaded to your library , as long as you have some credits.
Just ask for the book, Alexa will read a short extract from the book, and when
finished , will ask , do you want to buy this book?
There was a discussion on Borrowbox, Bert prefers to access the website for
Borrowbox, on his laptop, where he can download the book, it will come in a
zipped file.
He unzips the file and then he can get the Voice dream reader added so as to
read the book later.
Tom wanted to know if anybody knew anything about a new aid for visually
impaired people.
It is a set of straps , which one pulls around their body, and by way of
vibrations, it can help a blind person to navigate their way as an alternative
to the more common white stick.
Kind Regards
Paul
