[Electronics-Talk] talking alarm clock and radio

[Ashley Bramlett]

Gerald,

Thanks so much for this information! My mom is an Amazon Prime member so 
buying from them is a good fit!

Does this run on batteries as an option? How is the reception? How heavy  is 
it? I hope its kind of small and light so its portable.
I have a sony music player with radio. It’s a cd and radio combo. As much as 
I like it, it does not talk so I sometimes get confused as to what station 
I'm on and also it has no alarm function.

Do you use this radio? Can you adjust the volume of the audio prompts and 
alarm?

Thanks!
Ashley

Check out the Sangean PR-D17 portable AM/FM radio with voice prompts
designed[especially for blind consumers, which is currently selling on
Amazon for $78.56.  It has a built-in talking clock with alarm clock
feature.  All functions of this radio as well as station frequency are
spoken, and it has very good audio performance and reception:
