Speaking Clock Deluxe

Everybody needs to know what time it is once in a while, no matter what he has to do. That's because a lot of activities involve knowing the time. The Windows clock is not always very good at telling you what time it is, because it has a very small font that makes it difficult to check what time it is. Wouldn't it be better if you could have the current time read to you? Thus, you could find out what time it is without even being in front of your computer. A software that can do just that and even more is Speaking Clock Deluxe.

The program does exactly what its name suggests, it can read out loud the current time, using different types of voices. This can be done manually or automatically, at every hour. This Windows application supports a lot of themes and skins and can display the time either in 12 or 24 hour format.

Besides reading out loud the time, Speaking Clock Deluxe also includes a calculator, which is better than the one included in Windows. Furthermore, it can display a calendar on the desktop and it even allows running a timer, for keeping track of various activities. An alarm clock is also included and accessible from the interface, allowing the user to play a certain sound file at a set hour.

The options window of Speaking Clock Deluxe includes a lot of settings for customizing the functionality of the program and also its appearance. As such, one can customize the interval of time when the current hour will be read out loud. Besides that, he can choose the language that will be used for announcing the time.

For making sure that the system clock is always correct, Speaking Clock Deluxe can synchronize it with various time servers from all over the world.
