Cary Base - Smart Clock
Talking reminder clock with remote scheduling to help people maintain an independent lifestyle.

Remote calendar scheduling with spoken reminders
Key Features
Daily Schedule
CARY Base can be set to show the daily schedule to help create awareness of the day ahead. As activities are completed, they are automatically crossed out.
The day plan can easily be hidden in the settings, in which case, events will only appear on the screen as they are due.
Events can easily be created and edited using the "Calendar" button at the bottom of the screen. This button can also be hidden, so that accidental changes can't be made.
Remote Calendar Scheduling
Create, edit and delete calendar items remotely on your phone or your PC using the free My-Abilia Service, included with every Cary Base.
Additionally, administrator accounts can be created so that multiple Cary Base users can be managed from the one support workers My-Abilia account.
Spoken Reminders
Not only will Cary Base speak the time and date, it can also read out the reminders (19 languages supported).
Further, you can also record your own voice so that the reminder comes from a familiar, trusted voice.
You can also add a description with each reminder. For example:
Reminder Title: Walk the dog"
Reminder Description: "Don't forget dog poop bags"
Both of these messages will be displayed and spoken (if enabled).
Visual Reminders
Cary Base comes preloaded with 118 familiar high quality illustrations to help prompt any given reminder.
However, via the free My-Abilia service, you can also add your own images/photos so that the reminder is specific.
For example, add a photo of your actual dog (or a specific pill if it's a medicine reminder, or the actual person if it is a carer or relative visiting).
Widest Language Support
Cary Base has the widest language support of any Day Clock on the market. 29 languages are supported and 19 of them are supported with the spoken voice engine.
Supported Languages are:
English (British or Australian), Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, Sami, Icelandic*, German, Dutch, Flemish, French, Spanish, Italian, Slovenian*, Bosnian*, Croatian*, Serbian*, Czech, Polish, Albanian*, Arabic, Persian*, Turkish, Somali*, Hungarian*, Russian, Greek.
(* denotes spoken voice not supported).
