[Trainer-Talk] Blind User Depositing Checks on an iPhone

[Reginald George]

I worked with a client on this with the Wells Fargo Bank app the other day.  The app itself was well labeled and quite accessible, butt the process was almost impossible to complete without sight.  It forces you to use the phone in landscape mode.  So the scanjig stand would not work because you can only have the phone in portrait for it to see the document.  The app won’t tell you if the check is right side up or not.  So we used KNFB Reader for this part.  But it  would only go through if it processed both sides of the check perfectly or you had to start over.  And then it wouldn’t just let you redo the side that did not work.  Has anyone accomplished this successfully?
