I think I remember that the Zeitgeist as sold by Steve Nutt has a countdown
timer function. However, at fifty pounds this may be costly if all you need is
the one function. Personally I’m sad the Sharp talking clock calculator is no
longer available and dread the day when mine gives up the ghost.

Hi
I use this timer and it is ideal for kitchen cooking.
It is a little loud, but if the kitchen extractor is going and pans steaming
you certainly need the volume <smiles>.
I have a water bowl handy, to dip my fingers in and drying before pressing
any buttons on the timer.
Best wishes
Henry

Hi Pele,
I use one of Cobolt's alarm clocks as my timer. It's called the talking
timer alarm clock and has lots of timer options. There's an auto-repeat
timer which obviously starts again without intervention when it reaches
zero, a timer with report which tells you the time every ten minutes, and
then every minute during the last ten minutes, and then the last ten
seconds. Then there's just the timer which counts down but doesn't speak
and finally there's a stop watch. I know this is an expensive way of doing
it as it costs about thirty quid I think but it does what you want in that
you can press the bottom left button to find out how much time you have left
and you can also pause the timer with the bottom right button.
Don't know what you think about this but get in touch off list if you want
any specific information.
Cheers,
Sandra.
