Speaking system
Sometimes it may be necessary to convey information with a spoken voice as a complement to displays and audio signals. All our queuing systems can be equipped with a synthetic speech feature that communicates ticket numbers and location instructions. This feature is used today in many different industries, for example, to assist individuals with visual impairments.
The speech synthesis can be used in two different ways; either the system can speak for all ticket numbers, or the customer can choose, via a special assistance button, whether the ticket number should be communicated through speech or not.
When a customer presses the ticket dispenser to receive a numbered ticket, the press is accompanied by a voice that informs about the ticket number pressed on the ticket and the ticket number currently being served. Furthermore, the queuing system announces the number currently being called and to which workstation the customer should go. This solution with synthetic speech for all customers is widely used, for example, in optometry clinics.
Alternatively, you can choose to install a so-called assistance button on the side of the ticket dispenser. The speaking category is then integrated into another customer category already represented on the front of the ticket dispenser, for example, "Customer Service" or "Over-the-Counter." The speech function then only follows the customer using the assistance button, meaning that the majority of all customers within the customer category will be handled as usual in the queuing system, without synthetic speech.
