Read transcriptAI Transcript: This has been an ACB Community Call. Today's Unmute Presents Community Call was hosted on Tuesday, 9 April, 2024. Hello everyone and welcome back to another Unmute. As usual, we've got a couple of announcements here at the top. I want to remind everyone we're going to go through all first questions. And if we get through everybody, then we'll take a second question. So if you have tech questions, go ahead and raise your hands and we'll get to you just here in a few minutes. Also, I wanted to remind everyone that Mac Bytes with Bits is tonight at 8 Eastern. So you can go to their website to check all that out or check the daily immunity email that went out today. Also I wanted to remind everyone that we're doing the Introduction to Jaws in Club Unmute. So check that out and you can check that out. And all the details at unmute.show is the website. And if you have any questions or comments, anything else that you can think of, you can reach out to us at [email protected]. The question of the day today is what do you wish your screen reader would do that it isn't currently doing? And you can be creative. I wish my screen reader would go make me a cup of coffee and bring it to me. So with that being said, Michael, how are you? We're getting there with AI, aren't we? We are. So I'm doing great, Marty. I think that the first thing that I'll mention is Club Unmute members this afternoon are going to receive a three minute audio going over the keystrokes document we sent you last week. Yesterday, technically working listeners received a podcast where Damacy and I, of course, sat down and talked about what we're doing in the current programs we have, our audio setups, and also chatted about live streaming to YouTube because we finally got that up and working as well. On Sunday, Digital Bites published and we talked about the Black Ink Crosswords puzzle, managing your iOS storage and new laptops with tactile dots. On Friday, we started publishing Jaws Tips. Thanks to Marcy for that. And Friday's episode was "decrease and increase Jaws speech rate during Say All." On Thursday, @YourFingerTips with Chris published a content about Braille business cards, Post-it notes and some other information that you'll want to check out. And then of course we have the Shell Phone Show and Tuesday's replay call. So that's what we have right now, Sheila. Do we have any hands? We do. Area code 417, ending in 192. Can you unmute and tell us who you are, please? Hi, guys. This is Brittany from Missouri. Hi, Brittany. Hi. I have a question today regarding Find My Friends on the iOS devices. My father-in-law has a brain injury and he's, I think, almost 70. And we have been wanting to use Find My Friends for a couple of years now. And every time we implement it, he gets to the part where he's going through his text messages and he deletes it because, you know, I'm in Missouri, he's in Iowa, you know, it's not necessary to keep on his messages. And then the next thing you know, we can't track him any longer. So I know there's a way because I have other people that in my family and our networks that we track that we don't necessarily have messages with. And I just can't figure out how to do it. So I was reaching out for help. Certainly. So I'll take this one on Brittany. If you can get on to your father-in-law's phone, is that a possibility? Do you have access to the phone itself? Yeah. I don't know if I'm, like I said, I'm in Missouri, he's in Iowa, but somebody can get on to it. So yeah. So if you can go into the phone itself, open the Find My Application, there's an add button that you would tap on and they find my application. I'm looking at it right here. And when you tap on that, it'll ask you to enter the phone number, pick a contact or email address of who you want to share it with. And when you do that, it doesn't necessarily, I believe it will send a message for the person to confirm, but once you confirm, you can go into your Find My Application and then tap on the people app icon in the bottom left-hand corner. And the lower middle half of the screen will give you a list of the people that you are following with their current location and the last time that it was updated. Okay. Awesome. So keeping track of the whole message thing, you know, it wouldn't be bypass, correct? Right. If you had a message, it would still be in your Find My App. Awesome. Thank you so much, Michael. That truly helps a lot. No worries. Thanks a lot, baby. Take care. Janet. Hey, Janet. You're still muted, Janet. I got a junk call and I was trying to get rid of it when you called my name. I wish my screen reader would bring me a beer and make me lunch. Gotcha. Well, thanks for that and appreciate it, Janet. Yep. Teresa. Hey, Teresa. This won't be as hilarious as the other two, but I wish the screen reader could tell you if you held up an object that we could tell you what it is, what color something is, what denomination and
