Guest guest Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Hi Dave, I believe that we have discussed this meter and I seem to recall that the speech was *very* limited and that it would not speak the repeat function. The problem is that the person who called (in my opinion) knew not about what he seaketh. (LOLLLOL) I thought that there might have been some recent upgrades.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Perhaps they did indeed upgrade the meter. You'd need to ask them point blank. It's hard to get accurate information from customer service people anymore however. Dave " ...In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 are you blind or severely visually impaired? As far as I know, there are only 2 meters that blind and severely vi people can use. Those are the Prodigy Voice, and the Solo V2. On these meters, all functions speak, including set up and repeat, along with memory and averages. The things that are important and necessary for us to manage our diabetes well.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Hello, Becky, The Vocal Point and the Embrace are different meters. The Embrace is not quite accessible, while the Vocal Point is made in the same factory where the first Prodigy Voice meters were made. It is just about identical to the older Prodigy Voice meters, so it should be okay, if this is the only thing your insurance will provide. The best in the US are the current Prodigy Voice and the Solo V2, however. Dotty -- Email services provided by the System Access Mobile Network.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Where did you come up with this information? It's very helpful.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 One has to wonder how the designers of these meters think. Why would they build a meter with most of the functions able to speak, yet neglect two other very important ones--the repeat and the memory? Thanks, Dan, for this informative post. Dave " ...In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. " [ 16:33] Embrace glucose meter I found an online manual. All setup functions are spoken. The usual prompts for using it at each step are also spoken. The result and any high or low alarm are spoken. To find what other functions are spoken I talked to the manufacture.. It does not have a repeat function and the memory function is not spoken. XB IC|XC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
