Moshi Interactive Voice Recognition Alarm Clock

Dec 02, 2008
Waking up in the morning is probably most of us favorite extreme sport. Some of us never quite learn how to not hate our alarm clock, when we hear it buzzing. If you are one of those people that simply hate waking up early every morning, but still understand the importance of waking up in time, you probably realize that a good alarm clock is essential. There are probably as many different alarm clocks as many people there are in the world – well, maybe a few less. So it seems that there is no much new to be introduced to the general public in the area of alarm clock, but as it turns out, Moshi has created a ‘new’ in the field of alarm clocks.

The Moshi IVR Alarm Clock is the first alarm clock that is interactive voice responsive, so it requires only voice commands in order to set the time and the alarm. This alarm clock uses IVR Technology – Interactive Voice Recognition – and the commands performed are set off by the simple expression of “Hello Moshi”. This alarm clock allows you to set time simply by speaking to it using the possible 12 voice activated commands, such as set time, set alarm, alarm sound, turn off the alarm, sleep sound, today’s date, and many others. A night light is also incorporated.

The Moshi IVR Alarm Clock will appeal to all people that want to interact with their alarm clock. The different ways of interacting with it is by, for example, asking for time while you are busy doing something else on your way to work, by setting the alarm or turning it off simply by saying the desired command out loud and not getting up from your bed in the morning, as well as by finding out the temperature outside when being almost out of the house.

Even for people that hate their alarm clocks especially in the early mornings, the Moshi IVR Alarm Clock seems to be a valuable thing to acquire as it helps save quite a lot of time. Other categories that will also benefit from the usage of this type of alarm clock, are the blind people who really could use such a device to tell them all the information they otherwise would have a difficult time having access to.

I love my moshi clock. I agree with some of the issues mentioned, but it's a $50 clock and it's absolutley the best, easiest and funnest clock I've ever had. I have no problems with the voice recognition as long as the room isn't too noisy.

The "gadget reviews" review is really badly translated...like someone just ran it through an online translator or something...just a reader review.

I agree with everything F. Sommer stated. Moshi is not user friendly at all. Plus, mine is defective. It doesn't even keep the time right. After 8 hours, only 3 hours elapsed on the Moshi clock.

I love mine!

I don't have to get up to set the alarm or time, and I now can check the temperature
without having to put my glasses on.

As with most voice recognition routines, you ocasionally will have to give a command twice.
But the choice of alarm sounds and the nice soft volume tha progressively gets louder if you don't get up and shut the alarm off is great.

Simply the best bedroom alarm made!

I ordered Moshi from Hammacher Schlemmer & it was defective. I am in Canada & am very frustrated as I had to pay broker fees & the moshi ended up costing $100. I knew it was going to be that much but I didn't mind if it worked but it wouldn't respond to my husband's voice or got confused. They sent another one & it is the same way...we get error sounds & commands are all mixed up.
Very disappointed.

1. Light on plug is too bright.
2. Can't see time in dark. If you turn night light on way too bright. Lights up the whole room.
3. Volume on low way too high.
4. All alarm sounds are obnoxious
5. Manual buttons in back too small, and can't read what they do
6. Commands not logical and simple
7. Too many "hello moshi"s to execute more than one command
8. Inconsistent response. More than half the time it doesn't respond to "hello moshi"

When I wake up at 3 AM, I want to see the time dimly lit. I want an alarm that is pleasant and turns off easily. I don't want to wake up everybody in the room when controlling the clock. I don't want a night light that lights up the room. Moshi simply does not meet these criteria.
