See reviews @ http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002DD7RW6?&tag=mdaydaily-20 The Neutrano iTalk can literally speak and listen. It tells the time when asked for it, in a soothing female voice. You can also set the alarm by your own voice requests. Ask what day it is and even get a few more minutes of shut-eye just by saying the word "snooze". The clock is equipped with "TimeSet Voice Technology" which Neutrano claims is capable of understanding anyone who speaks to it in English, without any training or break-in period required. The key to TimeSet's power seems to lie in its simplicity: it only needs to recognize the words associated with the hours, minutes and AM/PM designations needed to set the time.
