Partner Tech and Vispero to Expand Self-Service Accessibility
for Customers with Vision Impairment and Other Disabilities
Strategic partnership enables ADA-compliant kiosk and self-service solutions
Anaheim, CA – February 25, 2026 – Partner Tech USA Inc., a global manufacturer of intelligent POS an d self-service solutions, today announced a strategic partnership with Vispero, a world leader in assistive technologies, to expand accessibility across Partner Tech's self-service kiosks and self-checkout solutions in the U.S. market.
Through this partnership, Partner Tech will support JAWS® for Kiosk from Vispero–the industry’s only screen reader purpose-built for kiosks–across its self-service portfolio, including the Alfred, K27II, and PS-137 kiosk families, as well as its Starling, Alfred, and Paula self-checkout solutions. JAWS’ speech-guided interaction is integrated with Partner Tech’s ADA tactile keypad, further enhancing accessibility for customers with disabilities.
JAWS for Kiosk delivers accessible, speech-guided interactions both online and offline. By combining tactile input, custom scripting, and enterprise-grade support, the solution ensures consistent, compliant, and reliable self-service experiences. When paired with Partner Tech's ADA keypad, it increases access to kiosks and self-checkout platforms, enabling inclusive transactions across retail, hospitality, travel and other high-traffic environments.
The collaboration enables people with disabilities to independently and confidently interact with self-service technology, increasing customer engagement while complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the European Accessibility Act (EAA).
"Accessibility is no longer optional—it's essential to deliver a great customer experience and dr iving business growth,” said Sandra Hsia, CEO at Partner Tech USA. "By partnering with Vispero and integrating JAWS for Kiosk with our self-service solutions, we are helping our customers remove barriers to access, reach more consumers, and increase engagement.”
“At Vispero our mission is to create inclusive experiences for customers with disabilities,” said Matt Ater, Senior Vice President at Vispero. "By working with Partner Tech and integrating its assistive technology keypads with JAWS for Kiosk, we ensure people of all abilities can independently and securely use kiosks and self-checkout solutions when they need them."
