Sounds nifty, Jackie. Now, how do I justify another clock in the house??? -- Carol carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxOn Monday, November 17, 2008 4:53 PM (UK time), Jackie Cairns at jackie.cairns@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx said:
Hi Carol It's a grand little fellow, with the same voice as the Colorino. It is about the size of a remote control, with a speaker and three buttons on it. It can tell you the usual things like date and time, but has a host of other brilliant features like different alarm settings; an agenda; timer; can tell the time in other countries; calculates when you were born in days, hours, minutes ... It's amazing!! For those who remember Eureka, and her ability to tell you the day you were born, or days between events etc, then the Zeitgeist does likewise.

Keep this in mind if you answer this message. 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.

Org 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. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ******************************************************************** This email and any attachments are confidential to the intended recipient and may also be privileged.
