For years, I used those talking watches from Radio Shack.
I wore them all the years I was at General Motors; h however, I have not used
a watch since I began using a smart phone about six years ago.
I first used a Windows based Black jack, with the speech program from
CodeFactory, a company in Madrid Spain.
Now, for the past three years, I use an iPhone.
I bought on, because of comments I saw folks on this list making.
I figured if Richard & Steve thought so much of them, I should give one a try.
I did that, and have not looked back.
an Iphone is like an electronic Swiss Army kknife.
Those Radio Shack watches were great in their time; however, that time is
past.
good Call Radio Shack!

Well, haven’t seen Victor put this news on this list. However, he did
message me through Facebook. Radio Shack, who used to be the cheapest talking
products for the blind, is no longer selling them. Both talking watches, and
talking clocks have been eliminated from Radio shack’s inventory. They claim
that a blind person can get this information from their cell phones. that is
true, but only those who have the I phone or a smart phone, I should say
really. I do use the time and alarm services from my cell phone. But, I also
use my talking watch for time. I know I will definitely miss getting talking
and inexpensive watches from Radio Shack.
