Great alarm clock for those with disabilities

“Although this alarm clock is touted for Seniors, I have a son who is mentally challenged; and, this alarm clock works great for him. The clock has room for 8 alarms, and it allows for my voice to be played for each alarm. The alarm can be set for any day of the week, or weekdays only. The controls are extremely easy to work, but it is advised that the user manual be read thoroughly first. I also like the feature that my son can press a button and the clock will speak the current time, followed by the day of the week and the actual date. So, this is good for the elderly, but if you have a mentally challenged person in your home (or not in your home), this would be great for them. It would also make for a great gift.”

Great Way to Feel Connected

“With Covid we haven’t been able to see my parents at all. They miss the kids terribly. They love their new talking clock. With the recordings from the kids they have left fun messages so they can hear their voices whenever they like. It’s also been great to remind my dad of the Day of the week and other activities throughout the day. The volume is perfect for my dad who has hearing problems. It’s a great gift for the grandparents. Highly recommend this clock!”

Quality Clock with Great Features

“Good quality reminder clock with well thought out features for elderly people. I bought this as a gift for my Grandparents. My Grandpa has dementia and Grandma is too busy trying to look after him so I was worried that they would forget to take their medicine.

My mother is setting the clock up so that the medication messages and activity reminders are individualized for each of their needs with our voices reading out the reminders.

The display is huge which is great for my Grandma’s poor eyesight and it’s also loud enough for them to hear.

We are impressed by the quality of the product and the large buttons which is very useful for their age group.

I highly recommend this product to anyone with aging parents / grandparents. It addresses memory loss, hearing loss and sight loss perfectly.”

My Daughter Loves It!

“My youngest daughter (16yrs old) still living with us finds it great to use it for waking up, for going to bed with a nice message from us parents, for homework time, etc. I find I don’t have to chase her as much as before. Very happy, this is a great product!”

THE BEST. LOOK NO FURTHER.

“My 88 y.o. parents kept forgetting their pills. I searched a long time for a verbal reminders device and found THIS one. OMG! It’s perfect! You can record 8 reminders in your own voice and set the alarm time and frequency (daily, weekdays, weekends,1 day of the week, and off). This is superb for complicated pill schedules… and messages of love and encouragement. The alarm repeats for 30 minutes until the OK button is pressed, so reminders aren’t easily ignored. Fabulous! The large screen displays not just the time, but day of the week in large letters so my dad knows which day’s pills to take. There’s a coin battery backup in case of power failure, too.

What really places this clock at the top of the list is the superb customer support. Wow. I was having a problem setting the frequency, so I sent an email and photos early on a Saturday morning. Their approach to my challenge was “all hands on deck” to help me. “B” even recorded a video just for me. My challenge was resolved speedy quick. (Umm… my bad. Operator error.)

Helpful tip for setting Frequency: After you set the alarm hour and minutes and press Yes Go, you will see ALM OFF and –:–. I mistakenly thought this was an error message, which prompted my email for help. Nope! ALM OFF is one of the Frequencies. Simply press ^v to select Daily, Weekdays, etc. No. Problem. My parents reported this morning that Madi is really helpful!

P.S. I have not been paid for this review. I’m a super THRILLED customer. Orka support is fantastic, should you need it.”

Loud and Clear.

Great for Bad Eyes!

“I can see the clock clearly from the other side of the room. I always know what day and time it is. The reminders makes sure I don’t miss any medications or activities. Very useful clock!”

Best Talking Clock Ever!

“I bought this for my mum as she is getting forgetful these days. I live far away from mum and due to Covid can’t visit as regularly as I would like.

I wanted a talking clock to remind my mum of when to take her pills plus to cheer her up by hearing my voice regularly. Even if mum is away the alarm repeats for 30 minutes until she presses the button ensuring she gets the message.

She’s thrilled with her new clock. It’s so easy to use and very clear to see and hear. The big buttons have been really helpful due to her reduced dexterity and therefore it’s been much easier to use than her cell phone.

Mum is keeping a better schedule these days, she used to stay up too late and then struggle to get up in the morning but with the voice reminders she’s been keeping a better routine.

The clock can be clearly heard even from her kitchen and she’s really happy that she can dim the display when she goes to sleep. Really well thought out clock. So amazing for my mum.”

Great for Kids and a Busy Mom!

“I have 4 kids (ranging from 6 years down to 1 year). I bought this clock to help my wife manage the kids.

The clock has all the important activities set up and my wife loves the option of the soothing tune or voice message to remind her. The clock helps keep the family and the nanny organized for the week. The clock has a weekday and weekend setting which we’ve found really useful.

My friend bought us another one to put in the kids bedroom. My eldest son loves being in charge of getting the other kids up and on with their chores and the others feel like it’s a game to finish getting ready and pressing the “OK” button when they’re done.

My 3 year old is now at the stage of waking up at 5am and wanting to start the day, waking the others in the process. We have taught her that when the “moon” is on the clock she should stay in bed. It seems to be working.

My wife says the screen acts like a night light, she can adjust it up and down and is useful for when she is going into their bedroom to breast-feed the baby at night. She charges her phone through the clock and plays on her phone while she is breast feeding. She’s really happy with the clock and feels like she is screaming less at the kids about the day to day.

I think this clock is really high quality and a perfect fit for any busy family.”

The clock your elderly loved ones need.

Always Know what Day it is.

”It’s great. It’s a good size, easy to read. I always know what day it is.”

Large Numbers and Easy Alarm

“Bought for an elderly gentleman with early dementia. He absolutely loves it. Takes his meds on time and knows the day.”

G Webster

Amazing Product for my Mother!

“I ordered this for a family member with cognitive decline. It is going to do exactly what I need. This clock is attractive, functional and well made. I love the large display and buttons. The ability to program alarm messages is perfect. I made messages for Dr. Appts, medication times and visits from family and Therapists. But my favorite recorded message is one from my family that reminds her daily that we love her. This is a fantastic product.”

Jami

Great for Elderly!

“I love this clock! I bought it for my elderly grandmother to help her remember her medication. But it has so many recordable alarms you can use it for way more then just medication. I had my daughter record messages as the alarms so my grandmother gets to have sweet little messages all day long. The numbers are large so she can read them but it also speaks the day and time. It has worked out perfectly.”

Brian

Easy to Record.

“My 8 year old daughter totally loves it. It’s cute and light and easy to record! We sent it to her grandparents, they miss her so much. This is a great way to cheer them up, as well as a sweet reminder of our love. This is an amazing product!!”

Julie

A Must Have

“Very easy to use.. The Large Display is nice… the ability to record a message in my own voice is awesome.”

Teresa

Purpose Built with Attention to Detail.

“I purchased this clock for my mother who lives out of state and she loves it. We had it sent to us and then had our children record different messages to play throughout the day. Some are reminders and some are just sweet things from the kids. She said that it is a wonderful surprise when they play. I was very impressed with the quality of the clock when it arrived. There is an obvious attention to detail that is even evident in the packaging. It’s a great gift for an older loved one who would enjoy hearing a friendly voice remind them of things throughout their day. Highly recommend!!”

Kelly

Easy to Use.

“Great clock! Easy to use! Will make a great gift for my aging parents!”

Andrea

He Never Forgets Anymore.

“My husband has early onset dementia. The clock makes his day to day living easier because he now knows what day it is by looking at the clock. The clock voice reminders helps him know what activity is on.”
