Dave, the Zeitgeist is a brilliant clock by the way.  It has lots of

Hi Steve,

Do you have a website for it? Do you even sell it? and if so, how
much?

Cheers

Hi Caroline,

The Caretec Zeitgeist is a nice clock.  No displays, just three
buttons on the whole clock, and probably one of the smallest clocks I
have seen.

There are timers and alarms on it, but of course, you don't have to
use them.

All the best

Steve

Subject: [access-uk] Talking Clock Recommendation

Hello,

I have been asked to recommend a talking clock to a fairly elderly
lady.
Her requirements are that the clock should have a natural-sounding
voice, be fairly small and easy to set up and operate, and not cost
more than around £25.

The model of clock I have is no longer being produced, so I have
looked on both the Cobolt and RNIB sites to see what's currently
available.

From what I've seen, and the audio samples I've listened to, the
talking cube clock from the RNIB seems to be probably the most
suitable.  I'd be interested to know if anyone has any experiences,
good or bad, with this clock, or if you think any of the alternatives
would be better.

Thanks,

Caroline.
