Hi Ibrahim
Actually I thought there used to be a talking washing-machine on the market,
made by Zenusi which cost around £500. I have no idea what happened to it,
or indeed if it was designed for the British market.
Kind Regards,

Hi Dave.
There are some internet connected washing machines out there on the market,
you can connect them to your WiFi network and through either a home network
or internet connection control them. They aren't cheap mind. It does beg
the question though, why are manufacturers pumping out ever more
sophisticated note takers and other assistive technology gadgets yet no one
has actually produced a talking washing machine and so on? I'd personally
love to see a prototype control panel which can be fitted to machines which
provides full access to the vast array of features present on today's modern
kitchen tech? There are already touch screen washers and cookers on the
market and who knows what the future holds, but I doubt it will be very
blind friendly.
All the best, Ibrahim.
