[Electronics-Talk] Accessible Stove

[Andrews, David B (DEED)]

Yes, GE seems to be the only one, and their stuff is a little more expensive than some of what I looked at.

Dave,
At times General Electric has made overlays but at one point, they were only doing so for electric stove/ovens. I actually think it would be possible to do a template with braille on it if one had access to a DIY tech location.
It seems like one could take a picture of the touchpad on an iPhone and develop a template.  I am considering doing that. We actually created labels on ours with sticky sheets more than dimo tape. It has been our experience though that these need to be redone quite often. Lots of stuff from cooking ends up on those labels so they do not stay as well as many others do.

Here is a real novelty -- an accessible appliance question.  I am in the market for a new stove. Does anyone have knowledge as to who might have Braille overlays for the oven controls.  In the less expensive stoves, there are knobs for burners, but oven controls tend to be a flat panel.
