Lenny,
It doesn't "talk", but it beeps when you get to the angle you want. It beeps automatically at level, 45 degrees, and 90 degrees. But you can set it to beep at any degree you want. The display letters are a little less than 1" high, but you may need a sighted person to calibrate it for you. I have the 10" and 4' levels purchased from Sears - here is the link. http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00948295000P The only thing I don't like about it is the beep volume isn't real loud.

Also, what is a roto rule? If I want to find the angle of something, I just my Sears 10" electronic level and tells you the exact angle.
