Hi.
Thinking about this one, it would be awkward at the moment.
You would need to be using a cash point and holding your mobile as well.
You would be a mugger's dream.
This being said, I don't see why the banks could not have accessible
documents on their websites containing step by step guides on how to use
their own machines. That way if you knew which machine you would have to
use you could download information about that machine either at home before
you set out or on your mobile while you are out. This could apply to much
more than cash machines of course. it could work with fast ticket machines
and vending machines too.
This is not of course perfect as not everyone has access to the web or wap
pages and remembering long sequences of keys can be difficult but in the
short term, accessible documents with information about key sequences would
be a start and a positive step forward.

hi, if the speech could be incorporated into a mobile, then fine. but it
would seem like a lot of fiddle and fuss (possibly even expense) just to put
in a 4 digit pin code to do your weekly shopping! smile. now if it could be
developed to cover other, currently inaccessible/awkward facilities, then
i'm all for it. cash machines, those self service ticket machines on train
stations, things like that, then it would be a real step forward!
