I had a similar situation to the ones described below in this quoted post. I called a place of business one time because I was struggling with a bill I owed and I needed an explanation on charges. Actually, I think I needed help setting up payments if I recall. The first person I talked to said that they could not help me at all. The second person to whom I spoke, told me exactly what needed to be done to fix the problem and took care of the situation for me. Before we disconnected the call, I told her I really appreciated her help and that she had been very knowledgeable and thorough. I will never forget what happened next. I heard all of the air escape from her lungs. I could hear her breath in the headset Mike she was wearing. Her voice was shaky as she said thank you and she hung up immediately. I don’t know what kind of day that young lady had had, but it must not have been good. Apparently, I did something to help turn that around. That will go with me for the rest of my life.

This morning I asked Alexa what the current temperature was. It told me it was 49° outside with a high of 63 but it feels like 56 so it is colder than it really is. Oops. I think AI hasn’t quite woken up yet this morning.
In reading a handful of posts on mastodon this morning, I see people really frustrated with macOS and voiceover, iOS and voiceover, and Windows in general. What is happening with Accessibility? Better question, how do we fix it?
I just set eloquence on my iPhone to use the higher sampling rate and I can’t say that I hear any difference at all. Curious if others have any thoughts. Also, I don’t know whether phrase prediction was originally on or off, but I turned it on. Kind of wondering what that does as well.
@Bruce@allovertheplace.ca I have used UEB braille since it came out in what was that 2016? But I don’t think I have ever even looked at the UEB math code.
What do I need to do in order to automatically have my phone go into Do not disturb when I set an appointment and come back out of do not disturb when the appointment is over? Thinking of work meetings. I forgot to silence my phone today and got more spam phone calls then you can shake a stick at. I was kind of embarrassed.
