Dear Sagar and friends,
First of all a big thanks and appreciate your project on Mobile app to
locate talking ATMs. As you said in your first phase to cover Mumbai
region I will try from my side to help you with data however here I
wish to seek help from all A I list friends to go and visit and try
talking ATMs for transaction. Unless someone actually uses it with
success there is no way we can confirm that it is functional and okay.
We do get installation test confirmation from field engineer but it
is also important to be used by us and to give feedback.
As we know our locality and region better so can suggest landmarks to
be added in the address of talking ATM locations. Address provided
to bank by ATM vendors are not so complete at times as they are mainly
not so important for sighted users because they can see ATM board and
find it. But for us as V I address is of key importance to locate or
ask for help to locate.
Sharing a latest incident with our friend Yogesh Bawiskar from
Badlapur. He phoned me and asked for address and I told him about our
latest installed talking ATM which is at Badlapur, Thane. He found
it’s located just opposite his residence and was so happy after
successful independent transaction. At Union Bank of India we
regularly monitor our key talking ATM locations such as BPA,
Ahmedabad, NAB Delhi, NAB Workshop for the blind, etc.
Sagar, by the way Union bank of India is deploying in large scale and
we have more than 50 locations in the Mumbai region already with
talking feature for blind. We have now more than 225 talking ATMs and
as on 31 August 2013 we updated our list on our website with total
134. This list will be regularly updated. Please visit

Best,

Hi friends,
I am working on making an app that we all could use to locate accessible
ATMs.
I am using the info provided by Union Bank of India, however the GPS
co-ordinates generated from the addresses may not be sufficiently accurate.
To improve this data, I would encourage people to help in. At this point we
need a few volunteers who can go to any ATM and upload the GPS
co-ordinates. In the long run the plan is to create an application to
which anyone can contribute data, basically crowd-sourcing the data.
Please contact me personally if you can help with any ATM data, especially
those in Mumbai. The first version of the app will cover the Mumbai region
and we can cover other areas based on input from the community.
Anyone willing to help in the development and any suggestions are most
welcome.
Thanks!
Sagar
