Deer group,

I just read the posting by Sam Troia <[log in to unmask]>, and I felt I
should say what I have on my mind.  I like everybody else in this group, am
blind, the only problem that I have that is different probably from everyone
else I have to use verbal input.  I cannot use the keyboard, because my hand
functions don't work anymore.  Thus, the Braille markings on the keypad would
not be of any benefit to me!  Glad to see that they did  put verbal output.

Subject: Another discovery about talking atm


: I had to go back to the bank on Friday and, not having someone watching
: over my shoulder, I had more time to investigate the machine.  One of the
: really neat things I found was that there are raised tactile markings
: similar to those on a talking book machine (but different shapes) placed on
: the edges of the frame surrounding the screen precisely where the zone
: buttons are.  This ensures that you will know exactly where to tap the
screen.
