What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026
This small countdown timer speaks the time out loud as you set it, so you can check what you've entered without reading the display. Press the talking button any time during a countdown to hear the hours, minutes, and seconds left. It can be set for up to 24 hours. A magnet and a fold-out stand/clip let you stick it to the fridge, prop it on a counter, or clip it nearby. It's a good fit for someone with low vision or blindness who wants to time cooking or other tasks without help. The display numbers are 3/4 inch high, which also helps if you want to glance at them.
