How it works (3 steps)
- Install the KioBox + KioFrame on your kiosk and enroll it in your fleet.
- Scan or tap the KioBadge (QR/NFC) to start a private session on the user's phone.
- Operate the kiosk with spoken guidance and familiar gestures — confirm to act on the kiosk.
Example:
"Scan to start KioSpeak." → "You're on Ticket Purchase. Swipe left/right to explore; double‑tap to choose." → "Option 2: Print ticket. Double‑tap to confirm."
Key features
- Zero integration. Reads on‑screen UI automatically — no code changes.
- Familiar gestures. Optional KioFrame supports precise, screen‑reader‑style navigation.
- Multi‑language speech. Choose site defaults; users can switch language.
- Safety rails. Clear confirmations for payments and sensitive actions.
- Analytics (optional). Privacy‑preserving insights: activations, completions, dwell time.
- Brand‑friendly. Use your tone for prompts while keeping clarity.
Compliance made practical
KioSpeak helps you meet EAA obligations for self‑service terminals by enabling non‑visual operation, private audio, and robust error handling — without redesigning your UI. It aligns with accessibility principles in EN 301 549 and WCAG 2.2 (perceivable information, operable controls, error prevention/recovery).
Legal note: KioSpeak is one part of compliance. You remain responsible for end‑to‑end conformance, staff procedures, and accessible content.
Built‑in support for:
- Non‑visual operation via the user's phone (speech + gestures)
- Spoken labels/instructions, focus/reading order, and error announcements
- Language selection and volume control
- Clear recovery paths and confirmations
Security & privacy
- On‑device AI. Local ML models on KioBox; data‑lean by default.
- Isolated runtime. Runs separately from your kiosk OS.
- Configurable retention. Keep only what you need for diagnostics or audits.
- Enterprise controls. Role‑based access to the admin portal.

FAQs
Do we need to redesign or integrate with our UI?
No. KioBox understands the existing UI with computer vision/ML — no training or custom setup.
How do users start?
They scan a QR code or tap NFC (the KioBadge) on the kiosk to launch KioSpeak on their own smartphone.
Do we need new hardware?
Yes. KioSpeak is a drop‑in kit: KioBox + KioFrame. Installation is quick and typically requires only power/network and mounting.
Is it only for blind users?
No. Audio guidance and phone‑based control help many users — people with low vision, cognitive disabilities, older adults, or anyone who prefers spoken prompts.
Is it secure?
Sessions start on demand via QR/NFC and run on the user's phone alongside the kiosk. KioBox uses on‑device models and isolated runtime; follow your standard network and security practices.
Is KioSpeak EAA‑compliant?
KioSpeak helps you meet accessibility obligations for self‑service terminals, but overall compliance depends on your full solution and procedures.
What kiosk technologies are supported?
KioSpeak is tech‑agnostic; it works with web, native, and hybrid kiosks across common OSes and browsers.
What about analytics?
An optional, privacy‑preserving module reports activations, completion rates, and dwell time to help you improve service.
Headphones?
Users can listen through their own phone speakers or headphones for privacy.
