ATM System Availability for People with Visual Impairments Using RFID Technology

The Embedded Technology is proving its remarkable achievement in all fields. Embedded System is a combination of hardware and software. Embedded technology plays a major role in integrating the various functions associated with it. This needs to tie up the various sources of the department in a closed loop system. This proposal greatly reduces the manpower, saves time and operates efficiently without human interference. Recently it has been investigated the potential applications on Radio Frequency Identification Devices (RFID) for particular problems. This paper puts forth the first step in achieving the desired target with some of its applications being developed. With the advent in technology, the existing systems are developed to have in built intelligence. A Talking ATM is a type of automated teller machine (ATM) that provides audible instructions, so that persons who cannot read an ATM screen can independently use the machine. All audible information is delivered privately through a standard ATM Machine. This technology helps the visually impaired people to withdraw the money from the bank by giving voice as input.
