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.
