Speaking Clock Deluxe is handy software, which proves to be most useful whenever you need to be reminded about a deadline for a certain project, a meeting with clients, etc. The application is available in many languages and it comes with various useful tools, such as a time reminder, an integrated calculator, a stopwatch, etc.

When running the application for the first time, a welcome window appears, where you can adjust the basic settings according to your needs. For instance, you can set the time mode (12h or 24h), the announce options, or the start settings. The interface is simple and straightforward, so that any user would be able to manage it. You can easily customize its appearance by changing the display mode (big/small digital, big/small analog), selecting another skin, adjusting the transparency level, and many others.

You are able to set the program, so as to announce the time regularly, after a given interval, or on startup. All you need to do in order to enable speech notification is to select the desired language, adjust the speech volume, and choose the announcement mode ('selected sound,' 'natural speech,' 'speech synthesis,' 'selected agent,' 'say time,' or 'read a random quote').

The application also encompasses a timer/stopwatch, a speaking calculator, a calendar, and an alarm tool.

Therefore, it's worth trying Speaking Clock Deluxe, an easy-to-use program, which lets you know what time it is, set the alarm and many other things.

Speaking Clock Deluxe is a customizable clock that can alert users to the time in a variety of ways. The clock's various features and simple interface make it an appealing choice.

The program's interface is fairly intuitive, although some features that seemed like they would be accessible in the Settings menu could actually only be accessed by right-clicking on the program in the system tray. No matter; that's about as complicated as the program got. Although there were some aspects of the text-to-speech features that weren't intuitive, the built-in Help file explained everything clearly. The interface organizes all of the feature's options into easy-to-navigate tabs, making it simple to configure the clock to your liking. The program offers what you would expect of a speaking clock; analog and digital settings, several skins, alarms, a timer/stopwatch, and customizable intervals for speaking the time. The clock also includes a few unexpected extras, such as a calendar and speaking calculator. The alarm feature includes a lot of options, such as variety of alert sounds and the ability to use an agent--an animated cartoon character--to deliver alerts. I also liked the fact that users can choose between natural speech or text-to-speech, and that the Help file explained the differences between the two.

Overall, Speaking Clock Deluxe performed well and included everything I'd want from a speaking clock. The program has a 30-day trial limitation. It comes as a ZIP file and leaves a folder behind upon removal. I recommend this program to all users... Yahoo Yahoo Yahoo
