Yes it is made by Bosch. A number of years ago I had a digital tape measure with an LCD display which I was able to read. The vox tape looks very simlar, except that it has no LCD. Maybe the talking version was the next step in it's evolution.

Also has some differences in operation but it's nearly a knockoff. More expensive i believe and I've no reason to believe it would be any more reliable. So much for competition improving quality!
