The talking thermostat is a great choice in thermostats for the visually impaired. They’re also good for those who want the savings and flexibility of a digital programmable thermostat but don’t know how to use all that “tech stuff.”
So they make good choices for people who don’t know how to use computers as well.
For the blind and visually impaired, I recommend the voice activated model from Kelvin.
For others, the Talkingthermostat.com model will tell you exactly how to use it, including:
- How to program the thermostat using clear spoken instructions
- When the batteries are low
- When to change the filter
- Will walk you through basic troubleshooting if you encounter any problems with your HVAC system (furnace and air conditioner)
- Who to call for service if necessary – you don’t have to go find their number in your invoices or in the yellow pages if you have a problem, its stored on your thermostat.
The three major manufacturers for talking thermostats are talkingthermostat.com, VIP, and Kelvin.
