Product Features
Kiosks, ATMs, ticketing machines and voting terminals usually present Information about available products
and services via a visual display or touch screen. The Nav-Pad™ keypad is a highly tactile interface that
have been designed to facilitate audio navigation of software applications by those with sensory or mobility
impairment. An audio description of available menu options can be transmitted to the user through a plug-in
audio headset. When the desired page or menu option is located, it can then be selected by the press of a
distinctive tactile button.
An important feature of the module is that it provides compliance as far as is practicable with various country
standards for equipment use by disabled people, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA – USA)
the Disabilities Discrimination Act (DDA) & the Equality Act (UK)
Colour makes location of individual keys much easier for those with partial vision. The keytop’s distinctive
shape and tactile symbols provide the primary means of identifying a key’s specific function.
