We have one of the new washers and dryers. I couldn't believe they were 22 hundred and that was with a thousand knocked off because they were on sail. I have to say that they were well worth the money. I do our laundry once a week on Mondays and have been doing so for years. An average laundry day use to take around 14 hours from start to finish. Today I can do it in about 8 hours. I save 6 hours and the washer uses a fraction of the water it use to. The clothes are dry in a fraction of the time they use to take.
The washer and dryer both have advanced sensors that can determine how long it will take for each load. Of course for those who insist on doing it the old way it will do that as well but it will take longer and waste more water and energy. So, I use the normal wash and the sanitize setting on the dryer. It uses a bit of water to make steam and uses that to keep the clothes wrinkle free. Even I can get the clothes coming out free of wrinkles. I know that all this sounds off topic. The two machines have full displays showing your chosen settings and how long it will take to finish the load in hours, minutes, and seconds. If the sensors determine it will take less time then normal it will subtract time. If more time is needed, more time is added although I've never seen that happen. Ok here's the part making it on topic. Because time may be subtracted from the display I use talking Goggles to read the display for me. It does require some fooling around with as far as moving my iPhone 4 closer or pulling it back or moving it up or down but in the end, 9 times out of 10 I can get it to read the time remaining to me in hours or minutes in 1-H 22-M remaining. Our gas stove is so old, I think it came over on the Mayflower. <grin> Digital desplays were not even thought of then. LOL! Most people still rubbed two sticks to make fire. Hope that answers the question. ----- Original Message ----- From: Sieghard Weitzel To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Friday, June 14, 2013 9:46 PM Subject: RE: a question about focusing and thermostats and washers and stoves. I think it also helps a lot to ask a sighted person to take a look and explain to you where exactly the temperature is displayed. Furthermore, on some thermostats the screen goes to sleep and you have to push a button to wake it up, then the temperature may be displayed for a while before it goes off again. Knowing all of this really helps in understanding how to best take a picture.

Hello, someone said that they used some apps to help them find the temperature settings on their washer, stove, and I think thermostats. Can you tell me how you focus the camera to do that? I have a Honeywell thermostat that is old, and I am trying to get the temperature to tell me what it is set up. at and it is very very hard, any tips or tricks would be appreciated.
