Hello,I work for Wachovia Bank, and we have a software solution, and It is very easy to use.Next time when I use it, I'll try to get some details, and provide this list.I used to have a talking security card, but suddenly it stopped working, and the manufacture doesn't make it anymore.Best wishes, Aran----- Original Message ----- From: "James Panes" <jimpanes@xxxxxxxxx>To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, July 31, 2009 7:35 PM Subject: Re: How can a blind person use a smart card?My employer has come up with a soft version of the logon token.

Hi Eric,I know that on some systems, you hold your card against something or swipeit and it works. Where I work, they use key fobs. The computers are encrypted. The key fob generates a password that you have to type into an edit box to get your computer to progress to the log-in screen. As anaccommodation, they had to put me in a special group and they didn't installthe encryption software onto my computer. I honestly have no basis foranswering your question. I was just giving you a little more of a picture ofthe kinds of things that can happen. Thanks.

Hello listers, My employer is in the process of getting me a smart card which will give me access to the mainframe and email from home. However, aparently the smart card has a visual display that must be read in order to log in. Have any of you encountered this? Have you found a solution? Could I scan the card somehow? Thanks in advance.
