[Electronics-talk] Talking clock for the computer

Sat May 12 02:37:21 UTC 2012

Well, I downloaded this program.  It's really kind of neat but not sure I've got it configured the way I want it.  Couldn't figure out how to set a start and stop time for the clock.  We'll see what happens.

  Some folks prefer a talking clock that chimes or announces the time at 
  regular intervals such as hourly, half-hourly or quarter-hourly.  The free 
  accessible Talking Desktop Clock program does just that and offers a choice 
  of speaking voices and chime sounmds.  However, it does not have an alarm.
