A Digital Talking pedometer, as the name implies, is a Digital pedometer that announces your exercise progress as you walk. Not only you can view your fitness stats displayed, you can also hear the number of steps taken, number of calories burnt, distance traveled as well as the elapsed time, at predefined intervals or manually by pressing the "Talk" button. You may turn OFF the talking feature for silent use.
Example : You may set the Digital Talking Pedometer to announce on a daily mode like "Today you have walked 9,999 steps, 32 miles and burned 3542 calories" to remind yourself how active you are for the day.
