[Nfb-krafters-korner] FW: Conferencing app

[Annette Carr]

What a great find.  Can you put yourself on mute, or access the various
features of the conference system you are using?  When you are on the
conference call, does the keypad appear?

I thought the below might be useful to those of us using the phone
conference lines to take classes.

"1 Touch Conf", is an app which will allow you
to store conference call information in one place and then make calls
with one touch!

The app is free and very easy to use.

Now you can make a call from your iPhone without needing to worry
about punching in a code (alleviating the pressure of memorizing a
long string of numbers and/or inputting several numbers in a short
time-frame).

Once you have the app open, do the following to add conferencing numbers:

Tap on the "add" button in the top right corner.

The top field will say "conf name". Tap on this and you will be placed
in an edit field. The standard keyboard will be available below and
you can either type in the name that you'd like to call this
conference, or you can use the dictation feature.

Below this will be the spot for the phone number. Going left to right
you will read: phone number, 1, 800, 345, 2222. The phone number is in
three edit fields. Tapping on any of them will place you at the end of
the field and you will need to delete the number already there. Once
in any of these fields, a phone keypad will be available for you to
type in the number you wish to have.

So, in the case of the conferencing used by WCB, I leave the 800 as is.
But if using a non-800 number, just tap on that field and you will be
place at the end of the number. Delete the three digits and type in the
area code for your conference.

Then move to the second field, erasing the three digits there and
input "977", or whatever the next three numbers are for your
conference number.

Then move to the third field, tap and delete the four digits and type
in the last four digits of your conferencing phone number.

Below the phone number going left to right it says "pass code" and
then, "e.g. 34256) which is an edit field. Again, tapping on this edit
field will place you at the end and you will need to delete the number
already there. Then just type in the conference code.

When these steps are completed, tap the "done" button in the top right
corner. Your confence will now be placed into your "conference call
list", automatically alphabetized.

To the right of the name of the conference will be a "call" button.
Tap on this to make a call. A dialogue will pop up saying you'll need
to press the pound key once you hear the pass code entered. Tap on the
"ok" button, and your call will be made for you.
Note: if you do not press the pound key, the call will still go through.

At the bottom of the main screen there will be two options "conference
call list" (showing the alphabetized list conferences with the "call"
button to the right of the name) and "history" (which shows a history
of the calls you've made).

I have also used this for my bank. I still need to enter my password,
but the first step, inputting the longest number, is done for me.

Happy conferencing!
