Braille labels falling off (self.Blind)
submitted by Due-Storm
So, my dad is blind and we just moved. The new stove doesn't have audio cues, and the buttons are touchscreen. The braille labels we make with the label maker fall off all the time, and other solutions (like superglue dots on the buttons) seems dangerous because the glue will be exposed to heat and near food.
Are there other solutions we're not aware of?

Clear bump dots

I have the same thing in what I found helped more than anything is getting bump dots. Get the clear ones so you could put them over and you can still see them and they also come in different shapes and sizes. Check out Maxie eight.com or Google them.

Depending on how complex the touchscreen is (multiple menus, etc) and if it has a recessed screen, you can use some cardboard and cut out holes to indicate where to press. The braille on the template can then indicate the order (press this hole to turn on, this one to turn up temperature, etc).

Does it integrate with a smart house kind of thing? You might be able to use another device with more reliable queues to operate it.

No, we don't have any smart appliances. It's a normal stove
