I do agree that voice facility can be provided as an add-on in a regular ATM. Also, traveling from one end of the city to the other, just to use voice guided ATM is more strenuous than going to the bank closer and withdrawing money, be it with a sighted help.

Even if I am not in favor of much government involvement, in my view, proper implementation of talking ATMs is only possible via some legal binding. unless that happens, we will have symbolic facilities, but no real useful availability. Real availibility would mean each ATM is a talking one. Really a good start Regards Dinesh To unsubscribe send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the subject unsubscribe.
