8 Best Talking Clocks

Talking clocks are a very useful form of assistive technology for the visually impaired; these clocks tell the time verbally through the touch of a button.

They are available in many forms, ranging from tiny key chain clocks to bedside table clocks to digital touchscreen clocks that could easily be mistaken for an iPad. Many talking clocks offer the feature of setting the time, a message, or a reminder in your own voice.
