[Electronics-talk] My brailled ATM cards are here

[Gerald Levy]

Which leads me to ask:  How do you read the credit card number, expiration 
date and security code on your new credit, debit or ATM card if the company 
does not offer the card in Braille, and you have no trustworthy friend or 
family member on hand to read it to you?  I am expecting a new credit card 
from Discover which does not offer it in Braille, and have no friends or 
family members nearby who can visit me to read me the pertinent information. 
And I do not know my neighbors well enough to entrust one of them with this 
seemingly simple task.  After all, identity theft has become rampant in this 
country, and once somebody steals your credit card information, it can take 
months and months of aggravation to straighten out the mess.  I have tried 
Open Book to scan credit cards, but it apparently cannot recognize either 
the embossed characters of the credit card number and expiration date or the 
security code on the back.  How do you guys handle this situation if you 
can't obtain a Braille card?

Gerald
