365 Retail Markets audio-accessibility feature simplifies micro market checkout for visually impaired

September 9, 2019

365 Retail Markets, a provider of self-service micro markets, has introduced an audio accessibility feature to its mobile payment app to help visually impaired customers make purchases from micro markets, the company announced in a blog. The app reads aloud what the visually impaired user has selected and allows them to check out.

The 365Pay app utilizes iOS Voiceover and Android Talkback, which are built-in accessibility tools that users can enable via "settings" on their phone. Users can download the app to use this feature.

"It's nice that the new voice over option is built-in and that users don't have to learn new technology or download third-party tools," Nicholas Gacos, president of National Association of Blind Merchants, said in the blog. "365Pay has improved the way we snack."
