Peter, There are still loads of microwaves which are perfectly accessible by most blind people without modification. Even touchscreens are easily marked in Braille or some other way in my experience. Take a look at Sharp or Panasonic. Richard Richard Godfrey-McKay Please be kind enough to cast a vote for fife Society for the blind to help them win a new rehab house.

I could of course simply buy another one, but does anyone have any recommendations for an accessible microwave which is cheaper - it doesn't necwessarily have to speak. __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 7227 (20120617) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
