[Electronics-talk] accurate talking scale

[Jim Barbour]

No, I don't think so.

If weight distribution were the issue, then print scales would have the
same problem.  I've (occassionally) had someone read a scale for me,
and the results are much more stable than my current talking scale.

I sure hope someone knows of a different, more accurate, talking scale :)

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.
