Hi Carolyn:So far as I am aware, there are only two models of talking kitchen scale available. One of them uses a spring, has a male voice with a slight accent (I think?), and can weigh up to 11 pounds. I forget how high the weight can go in the metric system. It is accurate to within half an ounce or five grams. The other model is a digital scale that has a maximum weight capasity of six pounds ten ounces (again, I forget the max weight in metricss), is much smaller, and is accurate to within a tenth of an ounce or one gram. It has a female voice. I'm not sure which one you had, but the only two places I have ever ordered from are Independent Living Aids and Talk 2 Me. I haven't had to buy a talking scale in a while, but I'm certain one or both of these places will have what you're looking for. Personally, I prefer the digital model because it is much more accurate, which is especially important when I'm weighing things in the metric system, which I find myself doing more and more. If you need the number for the Talk 2 me catalogue, let me know and I'm sure I can dig it up for you.
Hope this helped. Jon----- Original Message ----- From: "Carolyn Ranker" <carolynranker@xxxxxxxxx>

I know the talking kitchen scales have come down in price during the last 10 or 12 years. so what is the best one to buy now? Where is the best place to get it? I think I got mine at Independent Living Aids. Others may have gotten theirs much later than me, so I'm welcoming and open to new suggestions. Thanks a bunch. Most fortunate blessings, Carolyn
