Quick recap The meeting began with a discussion about a medical incident involving Keith’s granddaughter and her ongoing recovery, followed by the group sharing their New Year’s Eve experiences and various personal anecdotes. The conversation then shifted to a discussion about McDonald’s menu history and several light-hearted news stories, including stories about monkeys and dinosaur footprints. The conversation ended with a game show trivia quiz hosted by Jill, followed by discussions about New Year’s resolutions and technical aspects of digital devices, before ending with humorous stories and contact information for listeners. Summary Keith, Jill, and Terry discussed a recent incident involving Keith’s granddaughter who swallowed a nail on New Year’s Day. Despite initial concerns, the nail was not found in the emergency room, leading to a hospital stay where she was monitored for its progress through her colon. Keith shared that Adrian was discharged but must continue monitoring her bowel movements for the nail’s removal. The family expressed concern about the incident, with Terry suggesting using a magnet to extract the nail, while Keith emphasized the importance of teaching children not to put foreign objects in their mouths. The group discussed their New Year’s Eve experiences, with Jill mentioning she had to go to the doctor for blood work despite good results, and Terry sharing that he missed the New York Times Square ball drop after falling asleep. They also discussed Terry’s recent incident where he spilled a pitcher of water on his desk, damaging some equipment, and Keith mentioned that McDonald’s McRib's are actually made from pork shoulder and other pork parts, similar to how chicken nuggets are made from ground chicken. News of the Week Jill shared a humorous story about a monkey causing chaos in a Nashville music store, which led to a discussion about escaped monkeys in the southern United States. Keith then shared a heartwarming story about a sea otter pup being reunited with its mother using a recorded distress call played through a Bluetooth speaker. Terry shared a news story about the Bears vs. Lions football game and a humorous AI transcription error where a police officer’s body camera mistakenly transcribed “frog” instead of “fog.” Keith shared a story about 16,000 fossil footprints discovered in Bolivia, which scientists determined belonged to theropod dinosaurs, though the purpose of the footprints remains unclear. The conversation concluded with a brief discussion about how dinosaur footprints are preserved in rock over millions of years. Jill's Trivia Quiz Jill hosted a game show trivia quiz, where she tested Keith and Terry’s knowledge of various game shows. They discussed different shows, including Newlywed Game, Love Connection, and Match Game. Jill explained the rules for answering questions and allowed participants to buzz in with their responses. The quiz covered a range of game shows from different eras, and participants were able to identify some of the hosts and formats. Terry's Top 10 List Terry shared a humorous top 10 list of New Year’s resolutions, including going to the gym and driving past it daily, and learning a new language like “sarcastic teenager.” Anchor Topic The group discussed the DA2 player, with Terry revealing the location of the power button on the right side near the USB ports and explaining how to navigate the menus using the orange button for settings and the shelf key for toggling between lowercase, uppercase, and numeric modes. Terry and Keith discussed the functionality of a new digital player, focusing on its compatibility with a USB keyboard for easier navigation and book selection. Terry shared insights from a call with the library, confirming that users can log into the player on the Bard website to update their Wishlist and download books without needing to add a new player. They noted the player’s durability and weight, comparing it to the Victor Reader, and discussed the potential for using a Bluetooth keyboard for better portability. Terry also mentioned tinkering with meta glasses and the possibility of customizing their lenses, while Keith mentioned not receiving his sunglasses from the previous year. Email and Final Thoughts Keith shared a humorous email about golfing firefighters and a father-son story involving George Washington. The final word from our AI companions The meeting primarily revolved around a light-hearted discussion of New Year’s resolutions, jokes, and humorous anecdotes shared among Keith, Jill, and Terry. They exchanged various jokes and funny stories, including references to Netflix, New Year’s traditions, and personal anecdotes. Keith encouraged listeners to share their funny family stories and questions about blindness, and he reminded everyone to visit their website for the latest episodes.

Do you still use dictaphones and kit such as the Victor Reader to take simple notes? There are good reasons to use this tech in certain circumstances but our smartphones hold the ability to grab quick notes in audio form just as good, if not better. Aside from the choice of apps, you can get high quality audio recording from a smartphone which often isn’t the case with dictaphones and other note taking audio devices. Obviously the more you spend the better the quality will be but is there a need if you have a smartphone? On this episode, Steven and Shaun are joined by Chris Turner from the RNIB Technology for Life team to talk about apps that are free, and paid, to be used by Apple smartphone users. Here are the links to the apps we feature for your reference. Voice Memos: Built-in to iPhones, no need to download unless you’ve already deleted the app in which case you’ll find it on the App Store. Free to own. Just Press Record: Available on the App Store and also features an Apple Watch app and MacOS app. Recording sync across your Apple devices. Ferrite Recording Studio: An audio and editing app which does work well with Voiceover for recording but has limitations when it comes to actual editing. Audacity: Free PC and Mac audio editor. Works well with screenreader on PC but not so much at the moment on Mac. Do you have suggestions for the best apps or ways to record audio? Let us know by emailing hello@blindguytalkstech.com or leave us a voicemail on 0204 571 3354.
