What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
This plug-in clock announces the current time and date aloud when you press a button, using a clear male voice at up to two volume levels. It's well suited for someone with low vision or blindness who can't reliably read a standard clock display, or for an older adult who benefits from auditory confirmation of the time. The clock is a complete, standalone device — plug it in (or load AA batteries as a backup) and it's ready to use, with large high-contrast buttons that make setup straightforward even with limited vision. The talking function is button-activated rather than announcing automatically at set intervals, so if you want unprompted time announcements, this won't do that on its own.
