Hi, Dave,

Have you checked Whirlpool and all the brands they own now?

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.
