Is this scale suitable for the blind?

Yes we got for my mother who is blind. Once she knew where it was and got used to the step up she really loves it.

The scale does sit on Very short legs. So you want to be aware of that. The voice that announces your weight is clear and loud enough for most people. I have found it to be accurate as well.

Yes, I purchased this for my father, who is completely blind. He exercises and was tired of asking my mother how much he weighted. He has had no trouble using it. He has place it in a corner in his bathroom and hasn't had any problems stepping up on it. The voice is loud and clear.

Yes, The scale is excellent. I had heart failure in September and my cardiologist wants me to weigh each morning in case fluid builds up in my lungs.

Yes. I am legally blind, and have no difficulty using the scale. It would be very helpful to you to have a sighted person read the instructions before you use it.

My Mother is legally blind and loves her scale. Please note that "legally blind" in this case means she can see images and colors fairly well, and lives in an independent living facility. Her left eye was removed several years ago, and the right is affected with macular degeneration. If the recipient is totally blind, there may be a problem with locating the scale to step on it in a balanced manner.

The meter is easy to use but I just don't know how well a blind person could use it. I guess it really depends on the person, sorry I couldn't be more help.

My scales are analog, not digital, but mine weighs just a hair over 3 oz, so I would say yes, and I have checked ithe scales with calibration weights.

I no longer have the box so don't know what it says. I bought one for my mom who *is* visually impaired but there is no way she could see what is on there to do the setting of it herself. So I would have to say that it is not actually good for the visually impaired at all. I don't even think she can see the red light on hers. As a result, she doesn't use it.

Yes. It's ideal for any kind of small print. My Mom is 90% blind due to glaucoma and still manages to do a lot of reading by connecting this device to the TV or by plain scanning and reading directly from it. I strongly recommend it also because it is quite durable and can take a few drops etc which are bound to happen when older people handle objects.Hope this has been useful.Best regards,Col PK Vasudevan+91 7589134885

No, and also I have found that when comparing it with other scales I and my friends have, it seems to give a lower percentage reading then the others, on this one measurement. In fact its number is about half of what the others report.

OK - I finally found the manual in the box. It's pretty thin. However it does allow you to enter person specific information such as gender, height, and age which it then uses to adjust the various readings to presumably a more accurate reading. The scale can handle up to 8 individuals - which it refers to a P1, P2 etc. You can also select units of weight - kg or lbs.

I don't believe there is a scales on the market that will! I have a brace on my right leg and below the kneeamputation on my left leg so I hold unto a grab bar. Do you have a walker you could hold unto? For the Nuance, Fred/Margie "Kindness is the language the blind can see and the deaf can hear".--Mark Twain

I'm not sure about that. I bought it for a friend's sister who is legally blind and I don't have her phone #; besides she would not be able to answer the question. Sorry, hope you find your answer!

Yes, you should be able to. I would just be careful because the front of the scale is actually glass.

The area displaying the numbers is 3/4" high by 1 1/2" wide. It's very readable. The surface area for measuring is 5 1/2" x 5 1/2". As long as the item being weighed does not exceed that, i.e. a 9" dinner plate or such that would cover up the display, you should have no problem. I love this little scale!

YES! The company sells this scale with an adapter and adapters are available if you bought one without the adapter.

Even though this scale is not backlit, it was not a deal breaker for me. It's still the best scale I have ever bought!

It will work perfectly as a scale without the usb cable plugged in. It just won't communicate with anything except your eyes that read the scale display.

yes. This scale display in kilograms and in pounds. There is a switch on a back for it.

Depends on level of impairment. My hearing is not the best and I can hear it fine. It is not real loud, like a person speaking in a normal voice. A very nice scale.

This scale volume is loud enough and I do believe someone with impaired hearing should be ale to hear it. I have had no problems with my scale.
