I agree with most of the points raised here, I often ask for help and have no
problems, I was just trying to think of possible applications for speech in
this situation - whether it is actually necessary or worth the effort is a
different point altogether.

We seem to be going all round the houses with this one, and we've done it
before too!
Tristram is right of course. Human assistance, usually helpful is there at
the cash point. Don't be afraid or too proud to use it.
On the question of devices communicating wirelessly with a very small device
we carry around, ; don't dismiss this idea too lightly. I could forsee, or is
it dream? of a device that could do this and more. Why not something combining
EPOS communication with electronic signage - if only this pathetic country
could get its act together and enable us to identify things when out and about.
Maybe too it could be combined and work alongside Sat Nav. Handheld Sat nav
devices are already around I believe, and there's even been talk, (pub
unintended) that a talking hand-held sat nav device might become available, I
mean a truly hand held one, that is. Dream on.

The cashier should be able to let you all of those things, including where
to put the card which varies with different types of terminal as part of the
transaction and do it better than any synthetic speech could. They will let
you know also if the PIN is entered incorrectly.
