[Blindtlk] credit card readers help please

Sat Feb 20 20:43:14 UTC 2016

	Merry and I use Square frequently. We have found the splitters don't
seem to work well, though there are some who use them successfully. It may
be my technologically challenged self. This being said, what I do is swipe
the card and then remove the reader to complete the transaction. This is
also how we did it at the NAGDU table during convention. HTH!

In deference to Peter's post on Square, it used to work. However, my
understanding is that our folks registering people for our state convention
last fall had some difficulty with it even when using a splitter although I
can't swear to that.

In sum, I believe *all* such systems now have some difficulty wen one is
running VoiceOver. Don't take this as gospel; it's just my impression.

I tried a headphone splitter.  It doesn't work.  The Pay Pal Here ap gives
me a message to unplug my headphones immediately.  I get this same message
if I plug the headphones in directly.

I don't have a blue tooth headset or speaker.  So trying that will have to
wait a bit.

Does anyone know of a different way to be able to process credit card 
transactions using a phone or tablet?   I know there are a lot of different 
companies that offer this service.  If someone knows of one that is
accessible, I would appreciate very much the name of it.

Thanks!

You may also want to try a headphone splitter.
