Russell are you referring to the bump dots? At least that’s what we call them.

Hi Keith,
Maybe I shouldn't call them "Braille" dots. It's just one small dot. The CNIB
here in Canada used to sell them, although they were ridiculously expensive.
They came in a pack of 6 dots. Mainly they are used to mark the F and J keys
on a keyboard, or whatever keys you want to mark. I had a couple of the dots
leftover as I don't typically mark my keyboards.
Hope this helps.

Hi Ian,
I'm getting to this very late, so hope you still find this helpful. Last
October I purchased an LG washer and dryer that is quite accessible through
the LG ThinQ app. The washer and dryer both have a touch screen that is not
accessible, but the only important item on the touch screen for our
purposes is a "Remote" button. I had my wife put one of those Braille dots
used to mark keyboards on the remote button, so all I need to do is press
the power on button, which is a tactile button, and then press and hold the
remote button for 3 seconds. After that I can open the LG ThinQ app, tap on
the default "Normal" cycle, and choose whatever cycle I want, and then
swipe over to the start button in the app. It works great, most of the
time, but once in a while LG puts out an update to the app and for a while
I'm not able to use it at all, until the next update. The nice thing about
this set is that they are sort of accessible without the app. The front
panel has a power on button, then a large knob to turn to whatever cycle
you want, and then a start button, and finally the touch screen. Both the
washer and dryer default to "Normal, so it's just a matter of remembering
the cycles, either turning the knob to the left or to the right. It's one
of those knobs that has no stop position, meaning it will keep turning
round and round, so the fact that it defaults to normal makes it usable. I
hoe this info helps. We bought our units at Coast Appliances. Below is the
model number:
LG WM3500CW
I forgot to mention that the app will send you push notifications when the
load is done washing and/or drying. I also have an LG oven that works, but
not quite as well as the washer and dryer, using the same LG ThinQ app.
When it's working, I am able to choose bake, broil, convection bake, etc.,
choose the temperature, and set the cooking time, but for some reason, the
app only allows for a total cooking time of 1 hour, and this includes the
pre-heating stage, so probably closer to 45 minutes of cook time. I've had
lots of trouble with app updates rendering the oven unusable through the
app.
Hope this is helpful,
Russell

A while ago, like 20 years ago, there was a line of thinking that would
have you use one accessibility interface to interact with all kinds of
products. You could plug your box into your thermostat, or oven or
whatever and it would voice what you needed.
I’m wondering if any products like this exist now using an IPhone as the
universal access device.
This is a roundabout way of asking, does anyone know of, or have
experience with, a laundry machine with an accessible app interface?
Cheers,
