[Electronics-Talk] Accessible Treadmills

[Arlene]

it would be great too, if there was an exercise bike that was somthing like 
what Doug heard about. In the apartment building where I use to live I use 
to go on the stationary bike that would have such information such as your 
heart rate, the distance you went and being able to set the period of time 
and setting the threshhold setting that you ride.

HI,

Does anyone know if there are treadmills which are self-voicing? 
Alternatively, are there machines which can be operated through an iphone 
app?

A coworker of a coworker said she saw one recently which had some form of 
voice feedback/guidance, but my coworker didn't have the details.

I've used my Precore 9.1 for the last 25 years and I've put thousands of 
miles on it. Its high quality, but definitely old school. It doesn't have a 
floating deck like the newer models, so it's a hard ride. It has a membrane 
keypad with buttons that don't beep. I've applied tactile markings, and I 
can count button presses to reach the speed/incline I need. I want to be 
kind to my hips and knees and upgrade, so I thought I'd check to see if I 
could find a system which is a little more blind-friendly as well.

Thanks,
--Doug
