Measuring liquids for laundry and cooking

The challenge

Despite his visual impairment, Yehuda is a very independent person who lives and takes care of himself almost entirely without the help of others. However, the challenge described by Yehuda as frustrating and difficult for him is pouring liquids that require exact measurement for various household tasks, such as cooking and laundry. In addition to being unable to see, Yehuda is also unable to feel the quantity of fluid due to numbness in his fingers, making it very challenging for him to measure liquids. Yehuda is looking for a solution which will allow him to pour specific amounts of liquids without help.
