Re: [CnD] recommendations for a good talking kitchen scale
Yes, mine has a British voice too, so it's probably the same one. I find the bowl that came with it handles most things I want to weigh well enough I used it recently for my homemade sausage experiment (which turned out wonderfully) and that thing about telling you how much is in it as you adjust was a killer feature to have, because it made it so much easier to get things in 1 pound packages. I'd recommend it for anyone, not just blind and visually impaired folks, as it lets you concentrate on what you're doing while telling you how much it's weighed.

Re: [CnD] recommendations for a good talking kitchen scale
I like the talking scale that Blind Mice Mart sells. I even learned something new about it that I hadn't realized as I was weighing peanut butter for my candy a few days ago. I guessed how much I needed, but was a bit short. I added a bit more to the pile and it automatically told me the new amount. I kept adding and subtracting until it was right and didn't have to press more buttons before I was finished. That really impressed me because I hadn't gone through that adjustment process before.

Re: [CnD] recommendations for a good talking kitchen scale
The only real ones that can measure to a gram are the My Weigh Vox talking kitchen scales which in my opinion are crap. I've gone through so many of them I lost count. I finally got tired of them and their flakiness and opted for a Bluetooth connected smart kitchen scale. The Drop Kitchen scale from www.getdrop.com Their iOS app is completely accessible and can weigh to the tenth of a gram. Have had mine for going on two years now and have only had to replace the $5 battery once. Still working like a champ. You can also buy it at Amazon. If you don't have an iOS device or would prefer a stand alone scale, other than the Vox scales, again, I don't know of any other ones that can weigh in those small increments. There are other Bluetooth kitchen scale models out there, but I've been pretty happy with my Drop Scale so have had no need or interest to try any others out. I did at one time have a Cobolt talking kitchen scale, but that thing could only weight to the then of an ounce or something silly like that. Completely useless if you wanted accurate to the gram measurements. Good luck.
