Certainly in our local Sainsbury's, a totally blind person could not use the self checkouts without assistance. Yes, there are voice prompts, but the prompt which tells you to enter your pin is not spoken. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shane Harris" <wighttiger12@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi HazelThere will be no need for these checkouts to be adapted for use by visually impaired people as the system already has speech output. I've used the process myself and it's pretty simple. However, should a shopper require assistance, there is a Supervisor monitoring all self-service tills.Shane -----Original Message----- From: Hazel & Kim Darvell - Email Address: darvell1181@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent On: 04/05/2011 14:20 Sent To: access u k - Email Address: access-uk@freeTèlists.org Subject: [access-uk] shopping of the future Hi allWe all do our shopping either on line or in store, and many do both, but I have heard a lot of talk about these self service tills in supermarkets. I haven't come across them yet and dread the day we do, there are already these tills soley used in shops in larger towns.Our local Morrisons are about to install them .One would expect that under the D D A there will have to be a so called human to help us poor mortals through the drudge of shopping because I cannot quite see them putting a talking scanner just for us though this should be fairly easy . Hope this is a issue we can talk about on this list as this is certainly a access issue .HazelNj.²?zSvz¢Â-T¶qºªµz¶,?¹®!Szz¶±j±¶qºªµz¶?Sy?-·ºn?¢.S¢?¹²jzyr¶s?--SSj¡z'¹~-²²
