The SlimTALK Talking Scale from Detecto is a unique scale designed to provide easy, efficient measurement of user weights, and to provide various features to improve the overall convenience and comfort of the user. The scale is designed to provide spacious standing room during measurement, enriching user comfort and accommodation. The truly unique feature of the scale is its low-profile voice announcement capability.

When a weight is measured on the scale, it can announce the weight to the user in a tone that is quiet enough to preserve user privacy while also being loud enough to be easily heard. This feature can make weight measurement a simpler, easier process, especially for users who have difficulty seeing the scale's digital display, such as the elderly, blind, or obese. The weight announcement can also help in telemedicine use, as it can be heard by the clinician during a virtual checkup, thereby preventing the user from needing to angle a webcam to see the digital readout. To provide broader usability, the scale is designed to provide voice announcement of measurements in either English or Spanish. Additionally, if the voice announcement setting is not needed, it can be turned off with ease.
