[Electronics-talk] Treadmills

[Gerald Levy]

What do you mean by "accessible"?  If you're looking for a treadmill with a 
talking monitor, I don't think there is any such thing.  The best you can do 
is find a treadmill whose monitor has discrete buttons rather than a 
flat-membrane touchpad.  At least you will be able to turn it on and off and 
adjust the speed and height once you become familiar with the buttons.  If 
you want to keep track of your distance walked and number of steps taken, 
your best bet is to buy a talking pedometer from a vendor like Independent 
Living Aids or Maxi-Aids.  These vendors of products for the blind may also 
sell a talking heart rate monitor and talking countdown timer.  HTH
