Cashflow machine given a voice
P A Auckland Bank customers were startled on Wednesday when an automatic moneydispensing machine talked to them. The Auckland Savings Bank, as an experiement, has given a voice to one of its Cashflow machines at its head office. The voice is that of the broadcaster, Angela d’Audney, who was chosen, said a bank spokesman, because of
her clear, carefully modulated speech. Customers at the machine will be politely welcomed and then guided through their transaction. The A.S.B. information services manager, Mr Ralph Norris, said the bank received a voice recording from the Scottish supplier of the machines, but it had a broad Scottish accent and so it had been decided to use a local voice.
