In this case, a keyboard and audio speaker are configured to be create a "talking keyboard" where typed text is spoken directly in an audio speaker. This allows any phrase to be spoken as ...
Instead, these devices connect to an accompanying app that allows you to adjust settings and sound profiles. When not in use, you can store Zepp Clarity hearing aids in the included carrying case ...
