Adapting to Blindness is not easy, but learning to use the Curve Talking Clock is. Aside from the large main button (which is ideal), I especially like that the clock speaks the time as you are setting the time - some models simply flash numbers, which is not condusive for someone without sight. Also, its use of AA batteries which are easily replaceable is also a big plus. My Mom already wants a second and third one for different parts of her apartment.
