Turn your phone into a portable speaking or chiming clock.

Audio clock turns your android device into your own speaking or chiming clock.
Choose when the time is announced and have it spoken aloud to you - or listen
to a real clock chime the quarter hours instead.

Note: recently reported issues with Ice Cream Sandwich and Jellybean devices
losing settings and stopping voice announcements are now fixed. We now test
exhaustively on Android 2.3, 4.0 and 4.1 before releasing - please let us know
if you think you have found a problem.

If your phone or tablet doesn't have the free speech pack, Audio Clock will
now prompt you to download it.

Audio clock is perfect if you don't wear a watch, can't see or easily check
your watch, or just need regular time announcements to help you keep track of
the time.

Audio clock can be configured to:

- start when you turn your phone on
- show a status icon in the notification bar
- speak the time or use a real clock chime
- only announce when you are using bluetooth or wired headphones
- automatically turn itself off between specified times (e.g. overnight)
- use either the alarm, media or notification volume for all announcements.

Audio Clock operates in one of two main modes: as a chiming clock, with chimes
on each quarter hour, or as a speaking clock, with a customisable announcement
interval.

In chiming clock mode you can choose from a selection of real clock sounds: a
grandfather clock with either Winchester or Whittington chimes, London's
famous Big Ben, the clock from St Pauls School (also in London) or a cuckoo
clock as your clock sound.

Chimes are rung every quarter of an hour, with the option to turn each
individual chime on or off. You can also choose which audio channel - media,
alarm or notification - is used to play chimes over, and the volume at which
they are played.

In speaking clock mode you can choose from four announcement intervals - five,
ten, fifteen or twenty minutes apart - and as with the chiming clock you have
the option to turn individual announcements on or off.

Spoken announcements can just announce the time - "the time is quarter past
seven" - or announce it in the style of the Speaking Clock - "At the third
stroke the time will be..." with an optional sponsor of your choice. The time
itself can be announced using the 12 hour clock ("the time is two thirty pm"),
24 hour clock ("the time is fourteen thirty") or a traditional style ("the
time is half past two").

There is an option to shorten voice announcements, so instead of "the time is
quarter past seven" you will get "quarter past seven". You can also change the
pitch and speed of voice announcements as well as the audio channel and volume
used.

Chiming clock and speaking clock settings are stored separately, allowing you
to switch between the two modes without having to re-enter your chiming
options.

Audio Clock can also use vibration to indicate the time: zero to three long
vibrations to indicate the quarter hour (on the hour, quarter past, half past,
quarter to) followed by a number of short vibrations to indicate the hour.

More choices of clock, and other ways of customising the spoken announcements
will be introduced over time.
