Product Reviews of Talking Time, Month and Date Alarm Clock
Product Review: British female voice hard to understand
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought the talking clock for my mother=in-law. She doesn't hear well and the lady with the British accent is hard for her to understand.Product Review: ClockMan
Summary: 5 Stars
As advertised. Good quality. Helps resolve 82 year old mother's concerns that she will miss her alarm or won't be able to read the time, or that controls are too hard to find, read or use. Time sets automatically to atomic clock time. Alarm is easy to reset, controls are in front, and display shows both real time and alarm time w/o changing screens. Pleasant voice tells the time as part of the alarm, or anytime by pressing the top. Just have to remember to turn alarm on with side button.Product Review: Cute, Clear and a new friend
Summary: 5 Stars
The cute British accent voice is clear and easy to understand. Setting the time is easy, as is activating the voice. Tap the top bar once for time. Tap it twice and you will hear the date and day. My 87 year old visually impaired mother really likes the clock, and I suspect activates it just to hear a friendly voice. The clock is never judgmental and never sighs and says, "It is one minute since you last asked the time." ... No more "what time is it now?" phone calls... The Reisen Talking atomic clock.. Our new best friend. :-)Product Review: Great clock for anyone, but especially those with low-vision
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased two of these clocks at different times, one for myself and then one for my grandmother, who has macular degeneration and absolutely loves this clock. Although the previous clocks aren't branded "Reizen", they're identical to this one. I'm buying another one for my grandmother so that she can have one in her bedroom as well as her kitchen.
This is a great clock, even for those with normal vision, but especially great for those with low vision or the blind. One tap on the big top button that runs the length of the clock speaks the time in a pleasant and very understandable British female voice, and a second tap speaks the date. There are no tiny extraneous buttons to accidentally push, which is important for low-vision users and a serious flaw in many other similar clocks.
There's an option for speaking the time on the hour. The time and date are set automatically according to the time broadcast from the NIST government clock in Colorado, so there's no need to fool with it when the time changes. The functions all make sense and are very easy to set, and the alarm setting as well as other other features are confirmed by voice. The clock uses AA batteries that last a long time, at least two years under normal use and they are simple to change.
The single lacking feature is a backlight, which would be nice for night table alarm clock use.
Product Review: Great clock.

My mother uses this clock every night when she wakes and can't see the standard clock. Very helpful.
