So the chipTAN generator reads the details of the transaction optically, and then you just confirm them ?

Pretty clever. On my chipTAN (Belgium, ING) I have to enter the number by hand (part of the account# of recipient, amount).

On the positive side mine does ask for a PIN before generating the TAN, so is probably a bit more secure (balanced with a wear of the keys on the TAN generator, of course - so it is arguable which one is better)
