[Electronics-talk] accurate talking scale

[Gerald Levy]

I don't think any of these talking scales is particularly accurate.  The one 
I have was described as "accurate" in the Independent Living Aids catalog, 
but its readings tend to be about 5 pounds overweight compared to the 
readings on the scale in my doctor's office.  And it speaks the weight 
readings with a Chinese accent which is sometimes difficult to understand. 
So you pays your money and you takes your chances.

I have the same problem--and probably the same scale.  I remedy the problem
by going with whichever number is duplicated.  Saves money in the end.

Could someone recommend an accurate talking scale? When I weigh myself, I
can stand on the scale three times and all three times get quite a wide
range of weights. I'm not even sure which model of scale I have, but it has
a female talking voice and I am really looking for a more accurate scale.
Thanks in advance for your recommendations.
