Steve, 

I like where you are going here, but I would say that the transparent sheet should be something that Reuben keeps and uses when he needs it.  That puts the ownership on him for finding a solution and does not make the other residents have to adapt to puff paint or other adaptations.   

I had a similar situation at work with a touchscreen copier/fax/scanner.  I got a sheet of transparency paper and cut off one corner to be sure I oriented the page correctly on the screen.  Then a coworker helped me align bump dots with the touch points on the screen.  Fortunately, each screen's options stay consistent.  This has worked great, and now with everyone being careful of germ transfer with COVID, it gives me an extra protection.

Reuben,

Another approach would be to get some transparent labeling tape or a sheet of transparent labeling plastic and just cut little squares out, one for each number.  They would not even need to be brailled.  The print numbers should show through, and cleaning off any adhesive after they are removed should be simple.  Be sure, though, to determine that the numbers don't move within the touchpad as can happen when it is a screen and not just a pad.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

Yes, just not sure the apartment complex would want me to do that.

One possibility might be to use puff paint on the numbers on the touch screen. I know this works for microwave ovens. That cold be the simplest thing to do.

Hi list,

I'm looking at moving into a new apartment complex that has touch screen keybads for the door locks to get into the units. Has anyone else encountered this at their residence/ apartment? If so how did you accommodate/ make it work. I know the complex is responsible for this, just wondering what others have found as a work around/ fix. thanks
