[Electronics-Talk] Touch Screen Appliances and Glass top Stoves

[Carol Feazell]

I have a glass cooktop and an induction burner stove. Best stove investment
I've ever made. The burners are controlled by the turn buttons, the oven on
the touch pad but the buttons inside must be pressed. I have them marked as
also the oven controls. The oven defalts to 350 but can easily be changed.
Perhaps you all know about these and if not, you may ask me at
cfeazell at comcast.net or just answer to the list if there seems any interest.
I am a completely blind person, saying this only so you will know that I use
no vision in using the stove, not that vision is a bad thing if you have it,
but I don't.

Respectfully,

Carol Jean

Nicole and group:


This is an issue of serious interest to many of us in the community. For 
a number of years I have conducted research and authored papers on this 
topic, both for the Braille Monitor and later for AFB Access World.


While it is my considered opinion and observation that the difficulties 
are deepening, the concepts which I and others have outlined are still 
purtenant.


If you google my name, Brad Hodges and appliance accessibility along 
with Braille Monitor and/or Access World you should find the articles.


If they do not show up, please reach out to me directly and I can send 
along the links.


Following a discussion at Convention this past July, I am working on an 
update which will reflect the current state of accessibility.


I would like to encourage us to consider the alternative techniques for 
using a smooth top cook surface from adjusting the controls. I do know 
of many blind people who have a smooth electric cooking surface with 
conventional turn knobs which they absolutely love using.


Best,


Brad Hodges
