Speaking Clock Deluxe is a shareware program that not only turns your computer into a speaking clock with several languages - it can also keep track of up to 50 alarms that can be set to a time and a date, and be repeated daily, weekly, monthly and yearly. The interface is all-graphical with a screen resembling an LCD (including a dot matrix section), which shows time, date, another time zone or random quotes. It also features a speaking calculator, a versatile timer function that works like a stopwatch or a countdown timer. And last, but not least, it can also synchronize your clock to an internet time server, using multithreading and with proxy support.
Many different languages
Using "natural speech", Speaking Clock can tell you the time in more than 25 different languages. American English language is the default language. If you want more languages, just download the language of your choice and install it. The term "natural speech" refers to recordings of each language, and words and numbers are then combined by the clock to give you the time.
More versatile than ever!
The latest version of the clock also supports MS Agents and speech engines, which brings a whole new dimension of possibilities to the clock. You can have agents telling you the time or notify you of alarm events, or use the text-to-speech feature to read the contents of the clipboard or the alert message of your alarms. It also supports text-to-speech engines in different languages and will tell you the time in English, German, French, Spanish or Russian, if you have engines for those languages. The Digalo range of speech engines are recommended and tested with the clock, although any SAPI-compatible engine will work.
Agents and speech support is included in Windows Me and 2000. If you use Windows 95 or 98, you need to download and install this support, please see the agents page and the speech page. Note! The clock will work fine without this support, but the agent and speech synthesis functions will be disabled.
Speaking Clock Deluxe works with Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP.
