[blparent] Talking Thermometers?

[Veronica Smith]

There is a really good one I hear that you put on the forehead, but I have
not seen it.

Thanks. I think I have the same one you got 12 years ago, and it works, but
that kind of relates to my question: Are there newer, faster models out
there? This is one of the frustrating things about blindness for me: Sighted
people often have access to many more options for simple apliances like this
that perform much better than the few that have been made accessible.
