India's first "talking" Automated Teller Machine (ATM) for visually
impaired was
inaugurated in Ahmedabad.
The ATM by the Union Bank of India is first-of-its-kind for the
visually challenged and
4000th in the countrywide network of the state-run bank.
"The foundation stone of Union Bank building in Mumbai had been laid by
Mahatma
Gandhi. I am happy that the first accessible ATM is being started in
the state of
Gujarat, janambhumi and karambhumi of Gandhi," Union Bank of India
Chairman and
Managing Director DSarkar said after inaugurating the ATM at the Blind
People's
Association (BPA) here.
According to BPA functionaries, the users have to plug-in a headphone
into the ATM
which has a unique voice interface, and once it is done the machine
guides them into
further operations. The ATM can also be operated by wheelchair-bound
person as well.
There are about 20,000 blind persons in Ahmedabad and they can use this
ATM to the
fullest extent. This ATM can be used by general public for transaction.
