[Electronics-Talk] Talking Body Weight Scale?

[Amanda Lee]

Yeah, that sort of patronizing tone of voice as someone indicated in their
review sounds as though they are talking to a three-year-old.  Maybe I just
have a defective one and come to think of it, my bath has textured small
squaretiles so the level may be an issue.

It's not that the scale is totally off but it just doesn't seem to calculate
the same as other talking scales do.

I am curious about the newer models with wireless interfaces too and how
accessible their app woud be.  They're available form  about $25 and up
which is intriguing.

I have the Amazon glass scale you describe.  It doesn't calculate anything;
it just weighs me.  I find it reasonably accurate, so long as I'm careful to
place it in the same spot and that spot is nice and level.  My house is old,
so I guess the floor isn't as level everywhere as it seems.  
If I get a weight that seems way off, I weigh myself again.
The scale is OK, thought I wouldn't mind having one with a volume control.
This one yells out my weight loudly.

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
