Step-Hear should be installed everywhere open to public access including private surroundings open to the public. Indoors at Municipalities, Office Buildings, Shopping malls, Universities, Information Kiosks etc, and outdoors at Bus Stations, Park & Tourist Attractions, Sports & Cultural facilities and many more. In addition the system is ideal for private use in one’s home, work environment or when travelling for identifying hotel rooms.

When the user activates the button he is notifies that an accessible ATM exist close by and the pre-recorder message plays.

Example 4: Step-Hear Traffic Light and Accessible Pedestrian Signals (APS) Solution.

 

Available APS systems are anti-environment nuisances. They cause noise pollution, annoy local residents and passersby and being constantly active and they consume unnecessary energy. The unique, green STEP-HEAR™ APS add on is powered by solar energy and turns the APS system on when required by a blind or low vision passerby. The system works on the same principle as other STEP-HEAR™ applications. When a user with an activator approaches a road intersection, a pre-alert through the activator is received. On triggering the system, the user puts the APS into motion for a number of preset cycles of the traffic lights. APS systems without are usually switched off after eight o'clock in all cities around the world. The STEP-HEAR™ add on allows 24 hour on demand activation with minimum disturbance to local residents.
