## Description

The Speaking Timer Voice Stopwatch is a versatile Chrome extension combining a speaking voice countdown timer and a voice stopwatch. It audibly announces the remaining or elapsed time at set intervals so users need not constantly watch the screen. Features include keeping the screen on during use, customizable voice intervals for announcements, automatic time release after the timer ends, and countdown alarms up to 60 seconds before expiration. It offers configurable times-up music, large numbers in landscape mode, and customizable fonts and colors to suit your mood.

Ideal for diverse use cases such as remote work time management, study sessions, kitchen timers, workout intervals like Tabata or Pomodoro, and quiet environments where visual alerts aren’t practical. With all settings conveniently on one screen, it’s designed to help you track time efficiently through voice notifications, ensuring you're always aware of timing without distraction.
