The calculated codes will be read to the user through a built-in speaker or via a headset. The number 5-button of Digipass 300 Comfort Voice will have orientation marks, allowing the user to select the right functionality and to type his/her PIN-code into the Digipass. Every key press by the user will be followed by an acoustic feedback.
Languages supported by Digipass Comfort 300 Voice are customizable, allowing banks to offer to their end-users a Digipass that speaks their mother tongue.
VASCO's mission is to be the full-option authentication company. This means that strong authentication has to be available for everyone. The launch of Digipass 300 Comfort Voice fits perfectly in this logic. A person with reduced eyesight will now be able to have the same high level Digipass security as other e-bank account holders.
"With Digipass 300 Comfort Voice, VASCO proves its claim of being a trendsetter in its sector," said Jan Valcke, VASCO's President and COO. "Blind and visually impaired people very often manage their own financials. With Digipass 300 Comfort Voice, they can securely perform transactions and check their balances." |
