Abstract
A user assistance device aids validation of transactions on payment terminals. A payment terminal that accepts a payment card at a point of sale can be detected. A transaction amount for validation can be determined from the payment terminal. Subsequently, audio of the transaction amount can be generated. Playing of the audio on a user assistance device can then be triggered, allowing a user to hear the transaction amount before accepting or rejecting the transaction. Further, transaction information can be analyzed and used to suggest whether a customer should accept or reject the transaction.
