Thermometers for the visually impaired (self.Blind)
submitted by Captain_Sodastream
Hello, I am researching problems for the visually impaired for a school project. One of the things I was wondering about is how blind people read the temperature. Do you use a specifically designed thermometer or are you reliant on others to tell you? If there was a thermometer that would allow you to read the temperature independently, do you think you would use it on a regular basis? Would you prefer a tactile thermostat using Braille, or would you prefer a talking thermostat without tactile feedback?

Thank you for your time!

Talking thermometers and thermostats are very common. I have one for cooking and one for medical use. Otherwise I use Siri to tell me the outside temperature.
