I do not think oany talk on their own, but only through Alexa or Google Voice.
I asked ChatGPT and got the following.
I'd search more at Amazon or just on the web.
* These microwaves don’t "talk" to you like a full conversation, but they
respond via Alexa.
* You’ll hear Alexa's voice say things like, “Starting microwave for 1
minute.”
_____
✅ What You’ll Need:
* Most smart microwaves need:
* Alexa app
* Wi-Fi
* Amazon Echo or Alexa-enabled device (for voice commands unless built-in)
_____
Here are some microwaves that support Alexa and have voice capabilities:
_____
🔊 1. Amazon Basics Microwave (with Alexa)
* Alexa Integration: Built-in support, no separate hub needed.
* Voice Control: Use Alexa to start/stop cooking, set timers, add extra
time, etc.
* Size: 0.7 cu. ft., 700 watts (small/basic).
* Best For: Simple tasks, small kitchens.
* Bonus: Works especially well if you already have an Echo device.
👉 Command example:
“Alexa, microwave 1 potato.”
_____
🧠 2. GE Smart Microwave Oven
* Alexa & Google Assistant compatible
* Wi-Fi Enabled: Full control via voice or GE app.
* Scan-to-Cook: Scan barcodes with your phone, and it sets cooking time
automatically.
* Sizes: Varies (0.9 cu. ft. and up), more powerful than Amazon Basics.
👉 Command example:
“Alexa, start the microwave for 30 seconds.”
_____
🧰 3. Toshiba Smart Microwave with Alexa
* Alexa Integration: Needs Echo device nearby.
* Voice Control: Supports quick commands, presets, and more.
* Size: Around 1.1 cu. ft., 1100 watts (more power).
* App Support: Toshiba app for extra control.

They would need to look up each device to get prices.
But I suspect there are a lot more out there.

Hi Richard,
I have heard of ones using Alexa or other apps to make the microwave
accessible. Do you have any suggestions?

The only talking one I have ever heard of was small, 3 times the price, and
extremely basic, and had no app.
