Laundry appliances. Ovens. Microwaves. I have sine sight, and use bump dots to navigate many of these appliances. But if I have to do a delicate load I have to ask family or Be My Eyes. I have many settings positions memorized, but it’s annoying. Is this the type of thing you’re asking about?

The newer elevators where there are no buttons inside the elevators, but there is a touch screen on the outside that you use to select your level (and scan your security pass in).

This is usually how it goes.... My client goes up to the panel on the ground, scans her card and presses the accessibility button. The panel starts reading off the available floors. Let's say she can access a dozen floors, and the system reads off one floor per second (she has to press the accessibility button again to select the floor when it is read). So it starts reading.... Second floor.... third floor..... fourth floor..... And then someone else reaches over and presses the floor they need. Which silences the system and selects that floor. So my client has to start the process all over again....

The panel is used constantly, so there isn't enough time for it to read every floor (and the company owns 20 floors of 50 story building). And she needs access to the different departments, so lessening the floors doesn't help (they can program the card to access only some floors). And speeding up the reading doesn't help because that severely cuts down on reaction time to select the floor.
