In attendance (11 participants): Jackie McBrearty, Derry Walsh, Ken Walsh,
Cearbhall O'Meadhra, Dominique Farrell, Martha Parkinson, Gavin Allman,

Derry sent congratulations on behalf of the cork Exchange club to Declan on
his recent appointment to Dublin city council.
Jackie told how much the Apple Watch helps her to access the fitness app
and the timer. The watch acts as a remote device and allows her to answer
calls without taking her iPhone out of her pocket.
Gavin reported a solution that he found during the week to get access to
handwritten text using the Seeing AI app on the iPhone. He received an
attachment that was an image of a handwritten file. He displayed the image
file on screen and made a screen capture of it. The image was
automatically saved into his Photos app. He opened the screen image from
Photos and selected Share in the hope of finding some way to get Seeing AI
to OCR the file. There was nothing in the immediate menu of sharing choices
but after selecting "More" he found a further list, at the end of which was
an option to "Recognise with Seeing AI". This opened the image in the
Seeing AI app which successfully read it with 99% accuracy.
Jackie pointed out that she had a similar experience but could reach this
link directly from the Screen capture image without going into Photos.
After an intense examination by a number of attendees, it became clear that
the same link to Seeing AI is readily available in a brief menu that
appears for no more than one minute immediately after the screen is
captured. After a slight delay, this menu disappears and the image is
automatically saved into the Photos app. To access the link to Seeing AI
from the Photo app, involves a long search from Share, through "More", and
on to almost the last item on the extended list.
Ken attempted to use Seeing AI to interpret an image on his photos app that
contained both objects and text. The app successfully read the text and
described the objects.
Martha had only experienced the ability of recognising photos without going
to the Photos app. in Facebook. Martha, Ken and Jackie agreed to explore
this further and report next week.
Martha noted that only KNFB was able to read a columnised document. Seeing
AI was not able to read it column by column. The group agreed that KNFB is
acknowledged to be the only app that can provide this service.
John Asked if Seeing AI is available on Android. Cearbhall made a Google
search and found that it is not available. sorry, John!
People, generally, are reporting that KNFB is better than Seeing AI,
Someone asked how Voice Dream scanner might compare. As there was no
immediate answer, some of us undertook to explore this and report at the
next meeting.
Jackie reported an unusual but very useful tool for video recording the
screen under IOS. The recording is a live video that is taken internally in
the iPhone or iPad and so does not show the fingers of the operator. Jackie
found this extremely helpful when asking an online adviser how to solve her
problem with an app. Ken and Jackie described the precise steps to turn on
this feature in settings as follows:
1. Open settings;
2. Open Control centre
3. Open "Customise controls"
4. Tap on "Insert Screen Recording".
The utility is accessed from the control Panel at the top of each IOS
screen.
Noreen found it difficult to join the meeting fully. She was able to
connect to the meeting with zoom on her laptop but could not find a way to
enable her microphone. This may require further work with Noreen to enable
her to join in fully.
The group discussed the effectiveness and failures of various WIFI systems
with no conclusive result. The competitive nature of mobile and WIFI
marketing means that each provider is willing to reduce fees to secure a
sale so perhaps the best advice is to shop around and try to beat down the
offered service charge.
This led to a discussion of the effectiveness of using WIFI or data when
WIFI is poor. It appears that An Post will send out a second modem if the
customer reports a poor service in their home. Ken reported that Virgin
boosted their signal when he reported initial difficulties and the service
has never dropped since.
Martha reported an update to last week's discussion when she had a problem
editing a WordPad file. She has now subscribed to office 365, and
downloaded the Word app to her iPhone where it is working well. She is
running the 365 suite on her laptop.
Martha found that dictation worked very well in Pages on her iPhone. She
found that reading continuously was good. However, she could not read line
by line. Cearbhall suggested that she try setting the rotor to read by line
and then stroke down with one finger to read each line. This gesture
operates the focussed rotor item whereas swiping from left to right invokes
the standard line reading response that Martha found to be ineffective.
The meeting concluded
All the best,
Cearbhall
