5.0 out of 5 stars The Hipster Spies With His Little Eye Something That Begins With--Best alarm clock ever., October 10, 2006

I have very poor vision. I also live in an area where power can go off at night.

So, I wanted an alarm clock that 1)Tells the time by talking to me, & 2)Is battery powered. This fits the bill nicely. I've had this one since the early 90's, & it's never failed me.

Oh, by the way: it does not use up the batteries fast. They last a good long time.

If this has been helpful, give me a vote.

5.0 out of 5 stars Large Tap and Talk button, January 3, 2007

Received this for my dad. Although he is legally blind he is able to see shadows. He has enough mental acuity to know he has to focus to see the large button and Tap it for the time. Occasionally he will tap one the setting (smaller) mode buttons. Therefore, the clock will need to be EASILY RESET to get it out of the mode that he accidently set it. Great clock, Large Tap and Talk button. Great talking clock for the visually impaired person that also has the mental acuity and physical agility to use alarm and other features easily. Clear, loud female voice. NOTE: Would love it better if talking clocks could be made in deep male voice because as we loose our hearing the higher pitch sounds fade first.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor Design of a Great Idea, November 13, 2009

By 

Curt Raven "Curt" (El Paso, TX USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Curve Talking Clock (Health and Beauty)

The concept is great, but the design of this item is poor. The button which "tells" the time is right next to three small buttons which change settings. Is it any wonder that my 96 year old mother keeps accidentally turning on the alarm when she is feeling around for the large "time" button? What idiot couldn't figure out that people with limited vision are going to be putting their fingers right there where the "settings" buttons are, and constantly changing them by accident? The instructions which came with the clock are abbreviated and inaccurate, which is unfortunate because of the constant need to put the clock back the way she wants it. If you are dealing with someone who can see somewhat, this is acceptable, but if the user has very limited vision and relies heavily on touch, this product is a nuisance because of the constant need to "fix" it when the settings get accidentally changed. (Wonderful experience to have her awakened at two in the morining wondering why a rooster is crowing!)
