Eliminate the need to continually visually check time remaining via voice announcements that can be heard from anywhere in the lab. This allows you to concentrate on the experiment you are timing rather than on the timer. In the count-down mode Talking Timer will announce the remaining time every hour. In the final hour it will announce the time remaining every 10 minutes, every minute in the final 10 minutes, and every second in the final 10 seconds. The audible count-down gives you time to return to your experiment and be prepared for the final alarm. A choice of 6 distinctive final alarm sounds makes it easy to identify which Talking Timer has alarmed should you wish to use more than one. Talking Timer is also very useful for work in low light or in the dark where it would be difficult to see a normal timer display. In the CLOCK mode touch any button in the dark and Talking Timer will announce the time. A voice confirms timer and clock settings as you key them in. You also have the option of turning the voice off. Other features include a large 3/4" display with icons to indicate various modes, such as voice off/on, count-down/count-up, etc. Recalls the previous count-down setting for immediate reuse and memorizes another frequently used setting for reuse at any time. Counts up or down to 24 hours. Both functions and the clock work simultaneously. Talking Timer is cleverly designed so that despite its sophisticated features it is very simple and intuitive to use. Has a built in stand for bench top use, clips to a pocket, or sticks to any metal surface with a magnetic back. Button cell batteries are included. N.I.S.T. traceable certificate of compliance available. Dimensions: 3¼ x 2½ x 1" Weight: 2.2 oz.

This is not one of the throw-away timers you see everywhere. I used just one of these timers in a science laboratory and classroom for at least 25 years. It was used also in the kitchen at times and as an alarm clock on vacations (as alarm clock you must count up the elapsed hours until you want to awaken). Intuitive to operate and versatile. I don't remember ever changing the battery. You can choose from a variety of sounds and it is plenty loud. Not cheap, but worth every penny.

This is a bad design:Pros:1) Ability to adjust alarms to something older ears can hearCons:1) Button cell batteries that are difficult to change. Should have been AAA batteries.2) Magnet on the back of the stand. The unit will rock back and forth and go flying at the least touch.3) Useless feature, such as a clock. (Hint clocks need 3 inch digits on a clock to be useful.)4) No key pad for entering numbers. If you want 45 seconds, guess what you get to press FORTY FIVE times.5) Confusing buttons. Now to stop the alarm, do I press Start/Stop twice or do I press Start/top once and Clear once? You eventually figure it out.6) Difficult to open control panel at the bottom of the unit.To summarize, if you can’t hear the typical 2000 Hz alarm that other timers have and need something lower pitch, this is a good compromise. But if you can hear above 2000 Hz, the Xrexs B082F6NST5, also available on Amazon, is a much better choice.

Bought this for a time management tool for my 7 year old ADHD grandson who is also hearing impaired in both ears. The product works as advertised and is very reliable, has multiple options of a stand, clip, and magnet, and is simple to use (my grandson sometimes sets it himself). Otherwise, I thought the clock was bigger based on the picture (needed something my grandson could see well), and the sound is not as loud as I had hoped for a hearing impaired person (although it is loud enough for me). Still, I will buy another one if this one fails.

As advertised. While it might be a lab instrument, it is also just fine in the kitchen, The talking aspect was needed for the blind and it works great. The countdown is done just right with the last 10 seconds counted down by second. The ability to select different alarm types is really appreciated since other appliances in the kitchen all seem to use the same beep. We chose car horn and that really gets your attention amongst the clatter of other sounds. As far as I could find, this is the only timer with such useful features.

Worked great until it didn't. Used it about 8 times.

This thing broke after about a year of use. Also found that it was quite quiet which caused the alarms to be missed.

This is the original talking countdown timer that has been sold under many different brand names to the visually impaired for years. Very tactile and easy to use. There is a newer re-designed version of this timer that is available and at a cheaper price. After trying one I found it not to be as accessible and would recommend purchasing this one. Even though the price tag is slightly higher it is definitely an example of getting what you pay for.

Easy to use and hear. Instructions include information for both this model and next model up that allows one to select the alarm sound.

Al seleccionar la función deseada no siempre funciona como se espera. Lo devolvà el primer dÃa de usarlo. En contraste, otros relojes similares de otra marca (marca Talking Timer) me dieron buen servicio por años.
