Talking microwave
What is a talking microwave?
A talking microwave makes preparing your everyday meals simple as all functions are spoken in a clear voice.
It is easy to use in three steps, set power, time, and press START. It announces power and time as you set them. It has tactile controls with excellent contrast of white on black to help you. There are LED displays that show the time remaining, so you can easily see your cooking progress if you have low vision.
A talking microwave is useful if you are blind or have low vision or you have memory loss as it will alert you when food is ready.
