The clever choice voice hd is the one that   you want with voice prompts.
The entire kit with test  strip and meter cost me about $50.

There was no price mentioned.

Hello,
There is also the Clever Choice Voice HD meter. It requires a bit less blood
than the Prodigy. It is also completely accessible like the Prodigy.
