Hi Christina,
You are wondering if the weight is read out on the iDevice and I am sure it would be if the app is accessible. I read in the description “there is no need to touch your iPad with dirty fingers”. This of course prompted me to read more since it said “iPad” and not “iPhone”. I then found the following: Works with iPad mini, iPad mini 2, iPad mini 3, iPad 3rd generation, iPad 4th generation, iPad Air and iPad Air 2. Requires iOS 8. So, it appears the app is iPad only and since there is no mention of the iPhone I assume this will not work with an iPhone. Now, as for talking kitchen scales, I have one I bought a very long time ago from Maxiaids. I think I have had this thing for 15 or 18 years and it is accurate and it just works and works and works. Of course I don’t know if it is still available, but I’ll get my wife to see what it says on the scale as far as a brand/model and write you directly. It is accurate to around 5 grams or around 0.2 ounces which for cooking and baking is plenty good enough and while I love gadgets, I think there is something to be said for some stand-alone devices where I push a single button and I don’t have to pull out my iPhone, load an app and so on. The scale I have continuously reads out the measurement as you add stuff to the bowl and while it probably can’t do what this Drop scale can do, you can switch it to either metric or imperial measurements and the nice thing is that if you want to measure something where the included plastic bowl is not big enough, you can just take it off and replace it with any plate or bowl you want. As long as you turn on the scale after you put the bowl you are using on the scale it will zero itself with whatever you put on it and then measure from there.

Mainly I was wondering if the weight is read out on the iDevice by voiceOver. I’d love to have a talking kitchen scale but I have not purchased one. I get frustrated when I spend my money on a talking gadget that is poorly made and often inaccurate. I have used talking scales and thermometers that are obviously way off and giving incorrect readings. This one has me curious since it’s a possible out of the box solution. :) https://www.getdrop.com -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
