[Electronics-talk] My brailed ATM cards are here

[Beverly Crook]

Hi,
  I would like to share with
you a couple of ideas.
  If you have a Victor Reader, I have had someone read the number and put it 
on the note taker part of the device, I also have them written on my braille 
note, and I have brailed them and have them near my computer. If you use the 
plastic to braille on you can take it with you and it will not mash down.
  I know that you have to have a person to read all of these ideas once, but 
you might also be able to get this info. from the credit card company by 
telling them the problem.
        Hope this was helpful, Beverly

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
