Mel, I have one of the timers that you described. Unfortunatly it does not have a key to tell you how much time remains. It does announce the remaining time every minute until 1 minute is left and then announces every 10 seconds. I am attaching the instructions that I received from the place I bought it.
Keith Getting Started. There is a plastic tab on the base of the timer which must be pulled out before the timer will function. When this tab is removed, place the timer in front of you on a table, with the display screen facing away from you. Buttons and Switches. On the right side of the timer is the Mode switch. The top position is for the stopwatch function (which does not talk), the second position is for the timer, the third is for the clock, and the bottom position is Set Mode. On top of the timer are six buttons. On the top row, from left to right, are Hour, Minute, and Second. On the bottom row are Clear, Memory, and Start. Below these buttons is a slide-off lid that reveals a switch and two buttons. The switch controls Timer Restart. In the left position it is on, in the right position it is off. The second button controls speech. One beep is off, two beeps means speech is on. The third button we will call Select. Timer Operation. Press Hour, Minute, and Second to set the timer. Press Memory to remember this amount of time. Press Start to start timing. You can press Start to pause the timer, and Start to resume again. To stop the timer, press Start, then Clear. To clear the memory, press Memory, then Clear. To change the timer alert sound, press Select. Clock Operation. Any of the six buttons on the front will speak the time in this mode. Set Mode. Press Hour, Minute, and Second to set the time. Press Start to hear the time. Have fun!

Under the six buttons is a door which drops down to reveal two buttons and a slider switch. I don't know the name of the timer to find directions on how to use it. In particular, I would like to be able to hear how much time I have left on the timer. If any of you can solve this question for me, or tell me the name of the timer, I would be most grateful.
