What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
This tape measure announces measurements aloud through a built-in speaker instead of requiring you to read small printed markings — press the button and it speaks the current length in either feet/inches or metric. It's designed for someone with low vision or blindness who does home improvement, woodworking, crafts, or any hands-on work where accurate measurements matter. The device is self-contained and ready to use out of the box, measuring up to 16 feet with accuracy to 1/16 of an inch, and it can store multiple measurements in memory. It requires a 9-volt battery that isn't included, so have one on hand before you start.
