> However, I have consumers who need some guidance in selecting a point of sale app/system, and instruction in using it.
> In my research thus far I’ve found that for users who do not use VoiceOver, with some IOS versions, including the most recent release of IOS 7,  scanning a card invokes speech recognition, rather than scanning and processing the card.
> I have heard from VoiceOver users that scanning a card disabled VoiceOver.

> Thanks
