The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland knows that blindness is
not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Everyday we raise
the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.


These are the technologies that Jerry and Tiffany thought we would be
interested in.

ThermoWorks RT8400 Digital Talking Thermometer



41.00



Press the button, it says the temperature!

Great for the sight-impaired or multi-taskers

Use it when you can't read the display

Super-Fast reduced tip reads in about 5-6 seconds

Big LCD digits

Hanging clip

0.1 degree resolution

°C/°F setting on back

Range: -58 to 572°F (-50 to 300°C)

Designed in Utah by ThermoWorks

The Digital Talking Thermometer is not a novelty! This digital pocket
thermometer is a serious measurement tool that reads temperature with
extreme speed and speaks the temperature readings at the touch of its
single large button.

Other low-cost talking thermometers are made by companies that produce
talking novelty items. They are cheaply made, very slow and not at all
accurate. This digital thermometer was designed to our specifications and
is produced in a thermometer factory where each unit receives proper
quality control and testing.



ThermoWorks Super-Fast thermometer technology is employed in the
reduced-tip probe for readings in only *5-6 seconds. Simply turn the
thermometer on, insert the probe tip in a food portion or liquid, wait just
a few seconds, then press the button to hear the temperature in a clear
(female) voice. A recessed button on the back will change the scale from
Fahrenheit to Celsius. Use the built-in eyelet at the top to hang the
thermometer within easy reach where you normally use it. The thermometer
body is contoured to comfortably fit the palm of your hand.

The Digital Talking Thermometer is suitable for the sight impaired with
partial or full vision loss. For the sighted, the large 3/8" digits are
easier-to-read. Even those that can see the display need not take their
eyes off other tasks if they can simply push the 'Talk' button to tell them
the temperature. Press it again and again to update the status of changing
temperatures. The ThermoWorks Digital Talking Thermometer is a tremendous
aid in food preparation, general household use or even scientific and
industrial applications.

*Speed is measured as the time it takes to reach within 1 degree of the
final temperature. Final tenths of a degree may continue to stabilize over
the next 3-4 seconds.
