Talking Atomic Analog Desk Clock

by LS&S

$39.95

Setup with instructions The clock is nearly plug-and-play for basic talking time use, but setting multiple alarms and time zones requires reading a manual — guided_setup is appropriate since a family member could complete full configuration in under 30 minutes with documentation.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026

This desk clock announces the current time, day, and date aloud when you press a button on top, using either a male or female voice at adjustable volume. It's designed for someone with low vision or blindness who needs to check the time independently without having to read a clock face — the large-print analog display also serves people with some remaining vision. You get a complete, self-contained product: radio-controlled timekeeping means it never needs manual time adjustment, five alarm options with snooze are built in, and the LED backlight activates on demand. It runs on two AA batteries (not included), and the power-saving mode stops the second hand from moving overnight, which is a minor quirk but worth knowing if you use the face visually.
