Exchange Club

The Technology Exchange Club is an informal gathering of people living with varying degrees of sight loss who wish to improve their daily lives through assistive technology.
Essentially, members share their experience of how they found solutions to problems accessing technology and ask for support with any technological difficulties that may arise.
The focus is mainly on assistive technology such as the Talks and VoiceOver screen readers on Android and iOS devices respectively, and JAWS, NVDA, Narrator and VoiceOver on Windows and Mac computers.
Other discussions take place around topics like visits to art exhibitions, info about libraries, social events taking place and the general exchange of information useful to blind and visually impaired people.
Remote Access
Many people who cannot physically come to the club regularly join in using WhatsApp, Facetime or landline.
