Jeniffer, there are several types of these, some more accessible than others. Tom's right that what Toni's talking about is pretty easy to set without eyesight. I have a couple that require you to insert pins in the dial that trip the switch as they pass. Mine click 144 times in a 24 hour revolution, so there's ten minutes per click. If you have a lot of patience, you can set one like this, but here's a hint, don't even try it if you're consuming alcohol. The pushbutton ones are as far as I can tell just about completely inaccessible. Also, be sure the one you buy can handle the current whatever you're powering uses. Some of these are meant for lamps etc., and depending on what you're using it for, that migey might not work. Good luck.

I remember my grandmother having them when I was a kid, but I do not remember enough about the details to know if a blind person could set them or not. I know many items now come with their own clocks and timers, but so often they are not accessible to set. This is to help with my conservation and frugality efforts.
