Here's a cool tool that everyone needs! This is actually a two-in-one gadget, with a talking countdown timer and a talking clock. (Both can operate simultaneously and independently.) Plus, our timer has six different alarm sounds: whistling kettle, car horn, bell, bouncing coil, cuckoo, and beep. This timer's ultra-slim design makes it ideal for clipping to your belt, attaching to a metal surface, or sitting in an out-of-the-way corner of your kitchen counter (The clip can double as a small stand for the unit). There's also a super-strong magnet on the back of the timer, perfect for sticking it to your fridge. This is the first and only 24-hour talking timer in the world which periodically announces the time left until zero, eliminating the need for constant checking of time remaining. When you're timing anything, the timer will automatically announce the time remaining every hour, every ten minutes during the final hour, every minute in the final ten minutes, every ten seconds in the last minute, and every second of those crucial last ten seconds. (Note that, although the timer does automatically announce the time remaining at all the right intervals, you cannot press a button to find out how much time is left - that info is displayed on the screen however. But not to worry: my brother and I are both totally blind, and we use one of these talking timers in the kitchen on a daily basis - and we've certainly found they give us more than enough audio feedback.) The timer function is perfect for timing the cookies you're baking or the supper you're stirring on the stove, and the unique auto-repeat function (which can automatically restart the countdown after counting down to zero) is great for timing repetitive activities such as daily medicine taking, exercise work-outs, etc. And, naturally, you can always touch just one button to have the clock announce the current time in a clear, crisp voice. So stop trying to memorize all those meaningless beeps on your stove timer, and grab one of our handy Talking Timers - to save yourself a lot of headaches ... and many a burnt meal! (Uses two AG13 button cell batteries, included.) If you've seen any of our other eBay listings, you probably already know the jig by now. But here goes anyhow: this talking timer is brand-new, still in the manufacturer's box and packaging. And we will also include a sheet of step-by-step Braille directions - just so you'll be able to instantly read about all the cool features offered by the unit - and, more importantly, know how to use them. As for shipping, it's FREE. Since this is a talking product for the blind, we can send it via FREE MATTER FOR THE BLIND through the good old post office. Remember that FREE MATTER packages do take a week or two to be delivered within the continental U.S. or Canada, so the shipping time isn't lightning fast - but the cost is sure right! (One quick note: the free shipping is only an option if you yourself are blind, or are purchasing this item for someone who cannot see. If you are sighted and are just curious about Braille, etc., you'll need to add $4.75 for paid ground shipping. Thanks for your honesty in doing the right thing!) And of course, we'll get your order in the mail the day after we receive your payment. If you're outside North America, the free shipping is available for you, too. But since FREE MATTER packages go with all the surface mail, they take four to eight weeks to get to Europe and two or three months to reach Australia. If you'd prefer to pay for Airmail shipping (so you can get your parcel in a week or two), the cost would be $6.15 - no matter where in the world you are. And if you'd like to buy more than one of our items, just email me for a combined shipping quote. Confused about something? Got a question about this item you want answered - right now? Feel free to send us an email, or give us a call any time at 1-800-987-1231. All of us here at BrailleBooks.com are nice, friendly people, and we'll be happy to help you any way we can. Thanks for looking, and happy eBaying! - Craig.
