Voice Control (VC) Alarm Clock

Sure, there are other talking clocks out there. The Moshi Voice Control (VC) Alarm Clock, however, is not a talking clock. The Moshi VC Alarm Clock is the first 'listening clock' that allows you set the time and alarm by your voice alone.

Voice Control (VC) Technology

With the Moshi Voice Control (VC) Alarm Clock, you can ask for the time while getting ready in the bathroom, set the alarm or turn off the alarm without moving from the comfort of bed, and know the current temperature all the way from the closet. No more small buttons and no more impossible programming. Just speak, and Moshi listens.

Take control your alarm clock

At Moshi, we believe that you should be able to control your electronics and not the other way around. With the Moshi VC Alarm Clock, you are in complete control by using our voice activated commands. Simply activate Moshi by saying, Hello Moshi.

Hello Moshi

Now that I've owned a Moshi clock for about two months, I'm feeling more positive about it than when I wrote my original review.

I've learned to speak to it with an American accent that it usually understands, and I've found that it doesn't matter very much that the display isn't readable (using the night light in the dark) at eye level. This is because it's easier to simply ask the clock to say the time while keeping my eyes closed.

It's vastly easier and faster to set the alarm time with voice control, than fighting with little buttons. Also it's nice to be able to get the time, date, alarm time and temperature just by asking the clock to say them. It also gives that information when you stop the alarm.

I've found I can handle alarm sounds 1 & 2, and it's only the horrible number 3 bell sound which can shock you out of a deep sleep in a matter of milliseconds. It would be great if the sleep sounds went for much longer than 5 minutes.

The Moshi clock has a lot of good points and now that I've gotten used to it, I recommend it.

The first thing is, this gadget is designed for the American market and an Australian voice can get it very confused. For example, if you're trying to set the time and you say 'ten' or 'thirty', it's likely to think you said 'two' or 'thirteen' respectively.

However, If you speak in a Texan drawl like Slim PIckens did in the movie 'Dr Strangelove', Moshi is much more likely to understand what you mean. On the plus side, it usually understands simple spoken commands like 'night light' and 'sleep sound'.

Another annoyance is that if you're not looking down on the clock, its display is unreadable. If you're planning to put it next to your bed on the same level as your eyes, forget it unless you aren't interested in reading the time and only hearing it.

As other people have commented, the alarm sounds are horrible and the sleep sounds only go for 5 minutes.

It's a fun gadget to play with and certainly a good talking point (accidental pun), but it needs more refinement.
