[Blindtlk] Talking thermometers

[Humberto Avila]

Hello,

If anyone has bought a thermometer from the NFB independence market, can he
or she tell me which, if more than one, thermometers are better in terms of
their accessibility, including how they're like and how they talk the
numbers? Are they more expensive or cheaper than a regular thermometer? Are
there any recommendations for any specific thermometer for taking body
temperature? I ask this because I've never seen an accessible thermometer
for the blind before. I think it'll be nice to have a fever and be able to
take my temperature independently without getting sighted assistance;
besides I won't live with Mom and Dad all my life.

You can probably find them in the NFB Independence Market.  Go to nfb.org
and click on Products and Tccchnology, then Independence Market.

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The real
problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that exists.  If a
blind person has the proper training and opportunity, blindness can be
reduced to a mere physical nuisance."

Hey everyone,
I was wondering if there are any thermometers accessable for the blind.  I'm
looking for the kind of thermometer you take your body temperature with.
Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Winona
