[Electronics-talk] Talking microwave ovens

[Dr. Denise M Robinson]

If you can have someone help you stick the labels on...braillable sticky
tape is GREAT....braille up the numbers, cut out and stick. My microwave
has been labeled for over 7 years now as has my stove and oven and none
have come off and the braille stays crisp and easy to read---and I use them
a LOT
