talking watches

Audible time announcers

Talking watches are timepieces that announce the time aloud when a button is pressed.

Designed primarily for blind or visually impaired users, they provide audio access to timekeeping.

Some models also announce alarms or dates.

The technology ranges from basic digital voices to more natural-sounding speech: She pressed the button and her talking watch said "ten forty-five a.m.".
