[NFB-Talk] Dealing with Checks

[Kaye Baker]

Hi,
In my personal life I deal with them as little as possible, but when there is a need, I  use my bank's bill pay feature.  They will write the check and even send it out to the company or person and it is normally with no charge. Even our affiliate treasurer uses this feature, and she is fully sighted.
As far as reading them when they come in I use Aira for a lot of that kind of stuff. I don't have anyone around that reads for me.  I try to limit what I ask of my friends that can see, but that is another topic for another day. Aira agents are trained for this type of task, ad most importantly, they are bonded.
I have never had an issue.
Seeing AI is also an app that can scan a check or written document and read it aloud.

Subject: [NFB-Talk] Dealing with Checks

Greetings to all.

I am writing to seek advice about dealing with checks, both writing and reading them, as a blind person. Up until now, I have avoided any contact with them like the proverbial plague, but, now, my new position within my NFB affiliate will inevitably bring me into contact with the dreaded things! :) 

Anyway, so, I would especially be interested in other Treasurers’ experiences dealing with this issue as well as other advice in general from them.

Thanking folks in advance,
