[Electronics-talk] Talking clock for the computer

    Good afternoon everyone,

    Why add a talking clock application to your computer when there's all 
ready one there by default. In JAWS for Windows the JAWS Key plus F12 will 
speak  the current time. Pressing this command sequence twice will give you 
the current date. Why tie up your computer's memory with something that is 
really not needed?

I use a radio shack talking clock--can set it up to just speak the time or
push a button and the time will speak to you ...very old, so not sure if
this is the correct link: Would just go there and ask about it
