5 Important Factors to Consider When Buying Talking Watches For the Visually Impaired

One of the key things people miss when they become visually impaired
or blind is the ability to know what time it is. It can be very
frustrating to keep asking for the time especially for someone living
in a nursing home or assisted living facility where there is not
someone around to ask at all times. And if the visually impaired
person must be somewhere (for example in dialysis or in the cafeteria)
at a certain time on a regular bases, he or she really wants to know
what time it is.

One of the best ways to solve this problem is with talking watches
or a talking alarm clock. 5 important things to consider in selecting
a talking watch for the visually impaired are summarized below:

Number of Buttons:

To someone that is visually impaired, the number and location of the
buttons on talking watches is a big deal. The fewer buttons the
talking watch has, the better. However, even if there is more than one
button, the positioning of those buttons is paramount.

For example, if you get a talking watch with 4 buttons and they are
positioned symmetrically with 2 buttons on each side in the same
relative positions, how will a visually impaired or blind person going
to know if the watch in on upside right or upside down? If the talking
watch is on upside, and the person hits the wrong button, will it
screw up the settings? How will they reset the watch properly if they
can't see it? Generally, a one-button talking watch or two-button
talking watches will have the buttons on one side only which prevents
this problem.

Also, the more buttons the talking watch has, the more difficult it
is too learn.

Setting The Time:

A key issue with any kind of watch, not just talking watches, with a
visually impaired or blind person is how they will set the time
correctly. For this reason, you may want to consider atomic talking
watches which will automatically set the time, day, date, daylight
savings, and even world time zone all by itself. This is certainly the
easiest option. By the way, I have not found any atomic watches with
less than 4 buttons, and these buttons are symmetric. Check the
Resource Box for a way to solve the ""4 Symmetrical Buttons"" issue.
