Talking Clock is a versatile Chrome extension designed to help users manage time effectively through periodic voice announcements and customizable reminders. It supports various reminder types including one-time, daily, weekly, monthly, and annual alerts, making it ideal for scheduling recurring tasks like medication, meals, or important events.

The extension offers audible notifications via Text-to-Speech and visual system notifications, ensuring you never miss a reminder. Customize your experience with options such as analog or digital clock display, time on the extension icon, and do-not-disturb settings during full screen or video playback.

Ideal for writers, programmers, and remote workers, Talking Clock combines convenience and flexibility for personal and professional time management.

User reviews

Users find the Talking Clock add-on highly useful and motivating, appreciating its verbal time reminders, simplicity, and customization options. Common issues include delay or mismatch in time announcements, notification failures on Edge updates, limited voice options, and inconvenience in syncing settings. The extension is praised but could improve on timing accuracy, notification stability, and user control over voices and reminder behaviors.

Cons

Time announcements often do not match the exact time or are delayed by seconds to a minute

Limited options for voice or sound selection; users find the available voices unpleasant
Lack of backup and synchronization for custom reminder settings across devices or after system reinstall
Reminder pop-ups auto-close too quickly, reducing usability

软件很实用，'自定义提醒'内容如果设置比较多, 重装系统和在不同电脑edge之间同步数据就很不方便。要是能备份和导入设置就好了。

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Talking Clock requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Medium Enables sending notifications which can be spammed but have minimal direct security impact.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that an Edge add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Edge add-on reputation on Edge Add-on Store, the amount of time the Edge add-on has been around, and other signals about the Edge add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing an Edge add-on.

Talking Clock has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
