[Electronics-talk] [EXTERNAL] Re: Accessible Microwave?

[Baracco, Andrew W]

Attempts to market talking devices to the general public have usually
met with failure. The average person just doesn't like them. The one
exception has been devices that are used in the car, because drivers do
not want to take their eyes off the road to read a display, etc.

So, I gather from this thread that only one microwave has buttons on it
which is from panosonic which does not talk.
I would love a microwave with buttons too. Our GE one had to be labeled
with dimo tape. I did not have a problem with the labels falling off.
Only in recent years since its so old, did I have a few fall off.
That's too bad the talking one sold at a regular retail store is not
available anymore.
I always find it cool to find talking products at regular stores such as
radio shack who had or has a talking watch.
This eliminates the need to buy from blindness vendors and wait a while
in the mail for your stuff and pay for shipping of course. How much more
convenient to get a ride to the store, buy it, and operate your
appliance or whatever it is right away when you come home.

Yes, *had* is the important word here, as
they no longer do.

They haven't had this microwave for at least five years.

hi
  There is a Panasonic which has five preset buttons with a touch pad.
The
five buttons can do many things although they don't talk.
