Hello, I have the same question. I'm looking for a kitchen scale for my home.

Hello,
I use the very small, bluetooth Scale by SmartChef. I bought it after reading about its app here on AppleVis.

As you will discover by reading that directory entries and my comments, I am not very happy about the app‘s „Accessibility“.
Basically: If you want a bluetooth scale which, connected to your iPhone, turns into a talking scale, the the SmartChef is for you. It works pretty well (I mostly have been using it to weigh exact amounts of coffee beans).
However, as of now, most other functions the app offers (and there are quite a few) are simply inaccessible for the blind.
The developer has promised to look into it though. And I do hope I convinced him to make the main app fully accessible for everybody. They did consider creating another app just for the blind, which in my opinion is not necessary at all.
