hi,
I have a talking timer and I think its from ILA. I'll check if someone can 
tell me the brand it is and let you know.
I bought it years ago though so hopefully someone still carries them if ILA 
does not. Check APH too.

Hi,
I have a Sharp calculator that has a talking timer on it, my iPhone
which has a talking timer on it, thanks to VO, but I don't want to bring
either of those in the kitchen with me so I purchased one from ILA that
said it was supposed to talk, but I can only get it to tell me the time
and that's even wrong so I can't use it for a clock either as I can't
set it. I called and asked if they had any that talked while setting it
and they said no. Do any of you know of any that will talk me through
setting it or just an accessible one? I am totally blind. Thank you.

To succeed, work your tongue little, your hands much, and your brains most.
