What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
This is an 8-inch countdown timer with a high-contrast red-on-white rotating disk face, embossed raised numbers, and Braille markings so users can both see and feel how much time remains. It's well-suited for someone who is blind or has low vision and needs to track time independently during tasks at home, school, or work — the tactile face lets them set the timer and check elapsed time by touch. You get a complete, ready-to-use standalone timer that runs up to 60 minutes and includes an optional audible alert when time is up. It requires a single AA battery that is not included, and the audible alert is optional rather than always-on, so users who rely on sound as their primary cue should confirm the alert meets their needs before purchasing.
