iTalk Alarm Clock understands English

Sure, you can have the MP3 Clock DX if you want a cool alarm clock, but I will have to say that the iTalk from Neutrano is one of the most interesting alarm clocks that I have seen in a while.

After all, how many alarm clocks do you know that allow the user to set the time or alarm with your own voice? Yeah, no more of those stupid buttons that you have to hit simultaneously, and then keep pushing until the right time shows up.

At least, that is what the Press Release tells me. Apparently, the user just says “Hello iTalk”, and tell the digital alarm clock the time. It will understand any voice in English, and you can also ask: “what day is it”? I’m guessing you set that by voice too. The iTalk clock will also understand other commands such as “snooze”.

Granted, I don’t know if I will ever get up if I just say “snooze” for some extra minutes of shut-eye. I wonder if I will learn to say “snooze” in my sleep.

The iTalk needs 3 AAA batteries to power its huge 2 inch numbers. You should be able to get the iTalk from many retail outlets in a few months. That’s about as specific as my source will say, but it will definitely hit Amazon.com in June, with a suggested retail price of $49.99.

Best alarm clock should promote conversation Says:

[...] Published by Maria Mihale, on May 26 2009, in the categories: Gadgets Maybe those who are interested in having a cool alarm clock wouldn’t consider the iTalk for waking them up in the morning, but I, for one, am really excited about this new device. Designed by Neutrano, the iTalk is undoubtedly a very interesting alarm clock, if not the most interesting of them all, at least of those which are available right now in the market. And if you think that I’m somehow exaggerating, you should know that as far as I’m concerned anything that promotes conversation, and further communication between people, is able to win me over without effort. The iTalk does precisely that: it gives the user the chance to set the time or the alarm using the power of his/her own voice. This means you can immediately say goodbye to those annoying buttons that you don’t want to hit, but you have to, in order to make the device work. Equipped with a 2 inch LED digit, the iTalk is based on the latest TimeSet Voice technology. It seems that it is able to understand any voice that speaks in English. The only thing you should do is to say to the alarm clock “Hello iTalk!”, in order to wake it up, even if you might be considered a crazy person if someone gets to see you. Then, you can choose from eight different phrases such as “set alarm”, “snooze” or “What day is it?”. Running on 3 AAA batteries, the iTalk can easily turn into the best alarm clock ever, because it lets you speak. It allows you to practice communication. It’s just that you will have to be patient until it becomes available, sometimes in June, on Amazon, for a suggested retail price of $49.99. (Source: Coolest-Gadgets) [...]
