Community Recognition

Kudos and a job well done to the following Community Organizations and/or businesses for the strides they've made towards creating a more accessible environment:

  • To Smoky Mountain Harley-Davidson, for conducting and graduating 12 bikers who are deaf, in March, 2012 - perhaps Tennessee's first!
     
  • ETTAC applauds REGAL ENTERTAINMENT GROUP for making their digital theaters more accessible with the addition of technology that will help guests who are deaf, hard-of-hearing and/or blind enjoy going to the movies. The technology will provide captions for those hard of hearing or deaf and descriptive narration for people who are blind. Every one of its 535 theater locations in the U.S. will have digital equipment for every show by the end of 2012. Regal is teaming up with Captionfish, a unit of Zero Gravity Captions LLC, which is an online search engine for finding captioned movies across the country.
     
  • First Tennessee Bank is proud to be one of the first banks in the nation to offer Text-to-Speech on almost all newer-model ATMs. Required by the Americans with Disabilities Act, this feature turns written text into spoken words for our visually-impaired customers.

    Most newer ATMs have a headphone jack next to the customer keypad. Customers can insert their own headphones into the jack, and all screens are then translated into speech. The spoken prompts take the cardholder through the entire transaction step by step.
