[Electronics-talk] Purpose of List

[Charlie Richardson]

I think the problem is between the words accessible and adaptive.  My 
washer/Dryer is accessible because it has turning knobs and by me having a 
list of what each knob has for selections makes it very useable for me.  On 
the other hand that Washer/Dryer is not adaptive.  It would be nice if it 
spoke the selections as the knobs were turned.

I just went through the whole NFBNET lists and if I didn't know the purpose 
of this list I would think to ask about cell phones and speech here because 
it said accessible electronics.  But again, it's a misnomer of the blind 
community to interchange accessible and adaptive.
