Re: Accessible microwaves

['Jason White' via MacVisionaries]

I've heard of microwaves with Amazon Alexa support, but nothing that 
support for working with Apple devices. However, my knowledge of Apple 
HomeKit is absolutely minimal. There might be something with an 
accessible iOS app.

Hi Phil,
The Amazon Basics microwave is a good option if you are okay with a small 
microwave. It works with Amazon’s Alexa, so it can be controlled by voice.  
Here’s some info:

Hi Phil,
Thanks. Yes, I know about the overlay. The microwave works great with the Dot.

Re: Accessible microwaves

[Phil Halton]

Hi Janet, very nice job on this article. I’ve looked at the Amazon basics 
microwave and I think I’m going to pick it up along with the Alexa dot. Did you 
know that there is also a braille keypad overlay for this microwave? A search 
on Amazon for braille keypad overlay Amazon basics microwave will bring it up. 
Also, there is a good article on retro style microwaves with mechanical buttons 
and Dials titled best microwaves for seniors at a site called 
SaferSeniorCare.com.
