Easy Read and Talking Watch and Clock FAQs
What are the benefits of a talking clock?

A talking clock is designed to make telling the time easier for people with visual impairments. Instead of relying on a small screen or hard-to-read wall clock, a talking clock audibly announces the time. These devices can range from a simple Talking Button Clock, which speaks the time at the press of a button, to wearable watches that read the time aloud when activated.
What kind of clock would you suggest for a blind person?

A talking clock is ideal for someone who is blind. If the user has no vision, an audio announcement is often the most accessible way to tell the time. For individuals with partial sight, a clock or watch with a large face and high-contrast digits can also be helpful.

Low vision clocks and watches are timepieces specifically designed for users with reduced eyesight. They often feature large, bold digits, high contrast displays, and in some cases, spoken time announcements to make them easier to use.
