`!SNAPI`! is a system that allows a visually impaired user to record their preferences onto a `F33f`_`[smart card`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Smart_card]`_`f or other `F33f`_`[security token`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Security_token]`_`f.`:cite-ref-1[`F5bf`_`[1`#cite-note-1]`_`f]

When a card, `F33f`_`[mobile phone`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Mobile_phone]`_`f, key fob token or similar portable object containing SNAPI data is put into public or shared IT equipment, or moved into the field of the equipment's sensor, it informs the `F33f`_`[terminal`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Computer_terminal]`_`f about the user's preferred `F33f`_`[user interface`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=User_interface]`_`f.`:cite-ref-0-2-0[`F5bf`_`[2`#cite-note-0-2]`_`f] The terminal could be a shared `F33f`_`[personal computer`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Personal_computer]`_`f, a public `F33f`_`[kiosk`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Interactive_kiosk]`_`f, a `F33f`_`[ticket machine`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Ticket_machine]`_`f, a `F33f`_`[turnstile`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Turnstile]`_`f or an `F33f`_`[automated teller machine`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Automated_teller_machine]`_`f (ATM). This can enable various `F33f`_`[accessibility`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Computer_accessibility]`_`f modes such as a high-contrast `F33f`_`[display`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Display_resolution]`_`f or increased `F33f`_`[typeface`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Typeface]`_`f size, audible prompts, or increased time for responses for the duration of the transaction. When the transaction is complete, the terminal returns to its `F33f`_`[default`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Default_(computer_science)]`_`f settings.`:cite-ref-0-2-1[`F5bf`_`[2`#cite-note-0-2]`_`f]

The coding is specified in the European standard EN 1332–4.`:cite-ref-3[`F5bf`_`[3`#cite-note-3]`_`f] The Local Authority Smartcard Standards e-Organisation (LASSeO) has supported the inclusion of SNAPI coding in various UK local authority smart card schemes.`:cite-ref-4[`F5bf`_`[4`#cite-note-4]`_`f]
