this speaking alarm clock is just right for visually impaired or blind people. It makes no sense if the clock setting, alarm, etc. mounted next to the button for the time announcement. I speak from experience because my mother, who only feel and palpate, constantly knobs came that they should not use. When it just does not see you come involuntarily to these buttons and a blind man is no longer able to alarm or the hourly time announcement, even at night, turn off. This alarm clock is perfect and since you can not go wrong.
