Grahm, you appear not to have read my previous post. There I was talking about
ATMs with in-built speech and where the numeric keypad on the machine is used
for accessing all menu items. If I can track the link down where this is
demonstrated I'll post the link in another message.

Disabled People and Chip and Pin
: Hi Ray.
:
: I suppose the main issue here is security both in terms of others being able
: to pick up the bluetooth signal and the difficulty of holding your phone in
: one hand while trying to get cash out with the other.
:
: I think therefore it is probably better if the machines talk. This has been
: done in phone boxes. the modern BT jobs used to talk about 10 years ago. A
: talk button got them talking but this seemed to be a rather well hidden
: secret.

: Just a point of information Here. I believe that talking ATMs use the main
: numeric keypad for everything. Each number becomes a menu item when you use
: your cash card. I'm not sure how this works now, but I recall hearing a
: demonstration of one of the trials in Scotland and I believe the keys
: situated
: either side of the screen were not used at all. I think prompts, rather
: like
: in an automated phone menu, tell you which number key does what.
:
: I very much agree with comments that campaigning efforts would be much
: better
: focused on physical design of EPOS machines, and taking up the challenge of
: inaccessable ATMs etc, rather than trying to defend the old signiture
: system,
: and by implication, the levels of fraud that went along with it.
:
: FinlayFinaly, Steve's comment on mobile phones becoming a sort of access
: device
: did occur to me while I was writing my previous post to this list. I guess
: that as they are so often Blue Tooth enabled and some have WI FI access to I
: believe, this might yet prove to be a logical development in bringing about
: access about an area your moving through. Let's hope something like this
: does
: happen.

:: Thinking about this one, it would be awkward at the moment.
