[Electronics-Talk] Talking Body Weight Scale?

[Amanda Lee]

Hello,

The most recent scale was purchased in 2016  which is the following  when it
was available on Amazon:
NewlineNY Newline SCB - 105 Newline Digital Talking Bathroom Scale, 440
Pound Capacity
Newline Europe, NewlineNY

The second model was purchased in 2012 and is  a Newline Digital Talking
Bathroom Scale with Volume Control.

Each scale has a glass base and one can switch between kilograms and pounds
and there is a volume control on each.  The model purchased in 2016 is no
longer available.  However there is another Newline model listed.  It's
difficult to discern on Amazon at times if certain vendors are marketing the
same product under a different product name though so always beware.  As I
indicated these scales weren't totally incorrect but the newer scale doesn't
seem to be as accurate as the older one which was damaged.

HTH and if anyone has other suggestions, I would be interested.

If this topic isn't acceptable for this list, please let me know as I don't
know currently of a list which discusses talking devices.

 

Before I approach the known vendors to order a replacement for a reliable
and reasonably accurate talking body weight scale, I would just like to know
if anyone has found a device from any other third parties?

 

I have purchased a couple of models which have a glass base with supporting
legs.  One was reasonably accurate and not as expensive as the known
adaptive aids mail order vendors charge.  It was damaged during a move and
so I purchased another from Amazon which is similar but it seems to not
calculate the typical weight fluctuations that we all . experience.

 

So please advise if this is not the proper list for my question or if it is
acceptable, I'd be interested inyour responses.

 

Thanks!

 

Amanda
