A SURVEY ON ATM FOR VISUALLY CHALLENGED PEOPLE.

Surveys says that about 314 million people are visually challenged worldwide. This paper reviews various methods used for implementing easily accessible and secure Automated Teller Machine (ATM) systems for visually challenged people. And our project is to setup an ATM for visually challenged people. The main features included is fingerprint authentication and transactions based on voice commands. The system strictly permits single person at a time inside the cabin. Door will be locked when the sensors detect human presence inside the cabin. There will be two modes of transactions - Normal Mode and Blind Mode. Normal Mode is same as that of traditional ATM. Special Mode is designed for visually challenged people. A customer which is verified by fingerprint authentication can select their respective modes through voice command. In both modes, there is a provision to choose whether to check balance or to withdraw cash. In Blind Mode all the operations will be done through voice commands. Speaker system and a number of buzzers are attached to safely direct the blind person inside the cabin.
