    All Triton ATMs Now Have Audio Capability as Standard Feature


ATMs utilize leading edge text-to-speech synthesis technology

    LONG BEACH, Miss., Oct. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- All our ATMs are talking!
Triton, leading manufacturer of automated teller machines (ATMs) in North
America, announces that, beginning this week, the Triton 9100 Monochrome
ATM is equipped with audio-guided transaction support. Now all Triton
models for the U.S. market include audio capability as a standard feature
at no additional cost. "Our distributors asked for this feature and we
answered the request by including it on the lowest cost ATM we offer,"
said Triton President Brian Kett. "All Triton ATMs utilize leading edge
text-to-speech synthesis technology. We chose it over .WAV files
technology to provide the most flexibility and lowest ongoing cost for
Triton distributors." Developed in consultation with members of the
disabled community and compliant with the proposed changes to the existing
ADA regulations, the Triton ATMs feature an audio port for the visually
impaired and perform private audio transactions. The visually impaired
consumer uses headphones connected to the ATM through the audio port to
step through private ATM transactions. No changes will be required of any
currently certified Triton processor to support audio-guided transactions.
"Transactions through ATMs have become a standard way of life in the U.S.
and all Americans must have access to this service," Kett said. "We are
pleased to offer speech capability on all our models, making it easy and
convenient to perform audio transactions. We will continue to meet and
exceed the needs of our distributors." Working to meet the industry needs
of distributors such as Cardtronics of Houston, Texas, Triton developed a
plan to incorporate the voice-guided technology into the 9100 monochrome
units without increasing the price of the unit to distributors. "Our
partnership with Triton is a great example of how two companies can work
together to provide ATM solutions tailored to the market," said Brian
Archer, executive vice president of Cardtronics. "Our company's focus is
to provide outstanding products and services to our ATM customers."
