I’ll admit, I’ve talked to my alarm clock for a long time. Saying things like, “No, it can’t be time to get up!”

But now, I’ve found an alarm clock that actually listens.

The Moshi Voice Control Travel Alarm Clock uses voice commands to set the time and alarm and is a convenient size for travelers. It’s very easy to use—something I can’t say for a lot of the alarm clocks in hotel rooms.

I’ve often fumbled around in a hotel room trying to figure out how to set the alarm. My preference is to use a clock instead of getting a wake-up call because, of course, there’s no snooze control on a telephone.

Moshi uses voice-recognition technology to control the clock. Say “set time” and it will ask for the current time, then set the clock. Or, tell it to “set alarm” and it will turn on and set the alarm for whatever time you say. There’s even a choice of three different alarm sounds. And they are loud enough to wake even sound sleepers.

You can also ask Moshi for the room temperature, get the current time, turn off the alarm, or say “snooze” to grab another nine minutes of shuteye. And, in case you ever need them, there are physical controls for setting the time and alarms, turning the alarm on and off and for volume.

The size is perfect—less than four inches wide—and the clock weighs in at under three ounces so it won’t contribute to any overweight baggage fees. It’s powered by three AAA batteries.

The Moshi travel alarm clock comes in four colors—black, white, blue or pink. And the price is a reasonable $24.99.

Moshi also makes two other models for home use—the Voice Control Alarm Clock and the Voice Control Mini Alarm Clock. They have a few additional features, such as playing sleep sounds and the larger clock also has a night light.

The company also plans to release an iPod app soon.

The Moshi Voice Control Travel Alarm Clock is the the easiest-to-use alarm clock I’ve ever tried. And it’s the first one that listens to what I have to say.
