Hello all I certainly agree to this suggestion, we can deliberate it on the list so that there is a healthy discussions on the pros and cons on accessible design.
In my view accessible ATM's with respect to the blind is to have: 1 There should be keyboard navigation 2 There should be a provision to plug in our headphone. 3 The headphone jack should be of a standard size 4 The jack should be placed on a fixed place like top left 5 the user should also have a setting where in on inserting the headphone the screen should blank out or not. 6 After inserting the headphone should also announce if the screen is blanked out 7 There should be an SMS alert on any transaction done on ATM. This is now a day's available with almost all Banks. 8 The cash dispenser should be fixed on a fixed position 9 The doors to the ATM should have standard locking mechanism. 10 Bio metric should be preferred for authentication of user. 11 The bio metric sensor should be placed on a fixed position on the ATM 12 There should be a standard keyboard layout 13 List of All accessible ATM's should be published separately on the respective Bank's website.
