Key Features of a Talking Poker Timer:

- Voice Prompts: The most distinctive feature is its ability to provide audible alerts and updates. This can include announcements for when blinds increase, when a player’s turn is coming up, or when a round ends.

- Blind Levels and Timers: You can set the timer to follow a predefined structure of blind levels and times. For example, you might start with blinds of 50/100 for 15 minutes, then move to 100/200 for another 15 minutes, and so on.

- Customizable Settings: Many talking poker timers allow customization. You can adjust the intervals between blind increases, the starting blinds, and the duration of each level.

- Manual Controls: In addition to automated settings, many timers offer manual controls. This allows the dealer or a designated player to advance the blinds manually if needed.

- Multiple Game Modes: Some advanced models support various poker variants like Texas Hold'em, Omaha, and others, each with their own specific timing needs.

- Battery or AC Powered: Depending on the model, these timers can either run on batteries for portability or be plugged into an electrical outlet.
