[Electronics-Talk] revisiting washers and dryers

[Aaron Spears]

There was a speech module that could be plugged into some GE units. I 
believe the lg's app is reasonably accessible, someone reported on 
Youtube a video of how you can run the lg from the phone or you can 
leave the app open and the phone will speak what you're doing on the lg 
washer's own control panel.
