talking watch

Audible time announcer

A talking watch is a timepiece that announces the time audibly when a button is pressed.

Designed primarily for blind or visually impaired users, talking watches speak the hour and minutes through a small speaker: She pressed the button and her talking watch said "ten forty-five".

Some models also announce the date or include alarm features.
