This was in the E-Access Bulletin.- Issue 74, February 2006: +02: Talking Cash Machines Live Following Successful Trials. Yorkshire Bank is the first English bank to introduce talking cash machines to its branches, following successful trials of the technology. The new machines will be phased in as older equipment is replaced. The bank has deployed a talking cashpoint at its new flagship branch in Albion Street, Leeds, following trials at two other branches in Leeds and Hull in July 2005 and trials in Belfast, Northern Ireland and Glasgow, Scotland at sister banks the Northern Bank and Clydesdale Bank respectively. More branches are expected to follow, according to a Yorkshire Bank spokesperson. Talking ATMs (automated teller machines) enable vision-impaired customers to hear details of their accounts and transactions spoken through a standard set of headphones when plugged into a socket on the front of the machine. To ensure privacy, customers are given the option of switching off the visual screen while carrying out transactions.
