What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
This is a standard 16-foot metal tape measure that speaks measured lengths aloud, announcing distances to within about 1/16 of an inch in either inches or centimeters. It's designed for someone with low vision or blindness who needs to take measurements independently — for home improvement projects, crafts, sewing, or daily tasks where a printed ruler scale isn't accessible. A memory mode lets you chain consecutive measurements together to cover distances longer than 16 feet, and the device works as a standalone unit right out of the box once you add a 9-volt battery (not included). The battery isn't included and auto-shutoff kicks in after 15 seconds of inactivity, so it works best for discrete measurements rather than extended layout work.
