[BlindTlk] Scanning QR Codes

[Raul Gallegos - NAGDU]

Hello. I think QR codes are great. I have used them if I go to a 
restaurant and I haven't had the chance to read its menu to decide on 
what to eat. Another great use for them is when I do any sort of setup 
or app configurations on my smart TV. For example, I was configuring an 
app the other day, and to go directly into the app setup on my 
smartphone, there was a QR code on the screen to scan. After scanning 
it, I was directed to the correct page on my smartphone and I was able 
to complete my task. Last, QR codes are a great way to share your 
contact information. I run a small technology consulting and training 
business called RGA Tech Solutions. I have business cards with my name 
and contact information on them. There is a QR code which when scanned, 
will import the contact information into the person's smartphone. In the 
future, we will be doing something similar with the National Association 
of Guide Dog Users when we get new business cards made and updated. This 
way when I hand one to an Uber or Lyft driver, it will direct them to 
the NAGDU page so they can learn about guide dog users and/or contact us 
with any questions.


I could go on and on about the wonderful use, but others on here have 
done that very well already.


I hope this helps.
