Jeremy:(posted 8340 days ago)I finnaly found struck paydirt as I had been looking for just such a device.
I found a Radio Shack English Talking CountUp/Count Down timer, cat No 63-877. It has an LCD and of course can be set to talk with a synthesized female voice. It counts down and sounds teh remaining time on teh minute, then in teh last minute, every ten seconds then down from ten, then after teh time tells how far after.
It cost me $24 Canadian so about 16 US and uses cheap readily available batteries: Great.
Cheers
