You Can Bank On It: Features, Technology, and Locations of Talking ATMs

By Feingold, Lainey; Access World, Vol. 4, No. 1, pp. 32-39
Publication Date: January 2003

Article discussing the accessibility features and locations of talking automated teller machines (ATM), which can be accessed by anyone who plugs a standard Walkman headset into a special audio jack input. Many talking ATMs also have Braille markings on all keys, and some only have a raised dot on the five key. The function keys typically have either raised tactile symbols or Braille labels, or both. Citibank manufactures talking ATMs with touch screens, which are valuable for people who have difficulty pressing buttons. At the time the article was written, there were approximately 325 thousand ATMs in the United States.
