[Electronics-talk] Talking clock for the computer

Fri May 11 02:38:22 UTC 2012

Hi all!

If one has Window Eyes, there is an app called "chime" which gives the time 
at the top of each hour or plays a chime.  I use it when I'm using Window 
Eyes as my Screen reader.  It works just fine!  You can go to the GW Micro 
site and look for app central and you should find chime.  You need to be 
using Window Eyes to benefit from this!

Jim
