The Talking Button Clock is a simple but incredibly useful living aid for anyone with sight impairment, memory loss, dementia or Alzheimer's.

This compact tool has a high-contrast red button and sits flat on any surface so it can't be knocked over. Press the button and a male English voice will clearly speak the time. Press again and the Talking Button Clock will speak the day and date. Keep it on a bedside table or coffee table, or have a few dotted around the house.

The Talking Button Clock also has an alarm feature. Large print instructions will guide you through the process of setting the time, day and date and alarm clock feature.

This clock is powered by two AAA batteries (supplied). Batteries should be replaced yearly.

The clock is set using just two buttons: the set button on the base allows you to cycle through options to set the hour, minute, year, month, day, alarm hour, alarm minute and toggle the alarm on and off. Voice prompts guide you through the set up, you'll hear the command to 'set hour' and so on. Use the big button to select the hour, then press the set button again on the base. It will move on to the minute setting, and so on. When everything is set you'll hear a short beep to confirm the clock is now in normal time mode.
